That's a keeper
Rating:
4 / 5
I just completed the reading of 'Agile & Iterative Development: A Manager's Guide' by Craig Larman (ISBN 0-13-111155-8). For once 'manager's guide' did not equate with 'for dummies'. This book is a solid review and comparaison of four main Agile methodologies, namely Scrum, XP, UP, and Evo. It also contains some very valuable practice tips and a generous FAQ section. It is an excellent start for anyone wanting to learn about Agile.
Simple, effective and right on the target
Rating:
5 / 5
This book is written in the same agile fashion as what its subject is. It is concise, easy to understand, extremly well illustrated with examples and research results demonstrating practical value of the iterative development.
I found its greatest strength to be:
A. It compares all the prominent iterative methods using practical examples as you would do it in real world.
B. Your manager can read it,(As the title suggest) and maybe even beleive it.
Adopting the methods presented in this book may be the best thing ever that happened to your projects.
Comprehensive and Insightful
Rating:
5 / 5
As with other material that Larman has written, this book is comprehensive and insightful. He compares and contrasts a wide variety of agile development methodologies in a manner that enables a manager to make informed decisions.
