[Dolf van der Haven · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book seems to aim at taking more advanced steps towards implementing Agile principles and practices in a more traditional enterprise environment.
It is quite densely written, but covers a lot of ground. At the same time, I keep wondering if I am being helped in a practical sense with the book or if it just dumps a whole lot of basic conceptual information on me.
It's a hard read in any case and not convincing in terms of the value it brings me.
