Becoming Agile
How did Becoming Agile do in a recent review? Agile Journal recently compared 5 Agile books in an article by Brad Appleton. Concerning Becoming Agile in an Imperfect World, Brad said:
– “This book is a wealth of information about adapting agile to your organizational context.”
– “The agile adoption framework, readiness assessments, and measurement index in Becoming Agile are of greatest use to anyone playing a key part in an agile change initiative in a large organization!”
Becoming Agile was also reviewed by Slashdot.org. Here is an excerpt (click on the excerpt to see the full review):
….In describing these development methodologies this practical handbook takes an approach sorely needed in descriptions of Information Technology (IT), it assumes that the purchaser is considering employing the technologies described within the context of a real corporate environment with existing strengths and limitations…..
Here are additional reviews from other groups and individuals:
….it was very energizing having the game plan laid out in front of you, as well as the hurdles you’ll encounter and how to overcome them….Tariq Ahmed – Dopejam
…I would seriously make this book required reading for those that are at all interested in adopting agile or have just started – it is clear, concise and has plenty of example scenarios that many individuals and corporations would identify with… Jamie Phillips – Software Engineer
….very concrete and holding a lot of recommendations to help you setup “an” agile process which fits to your enterprise/project….Eric Siber on Amazon.com
