Format:Paperback
I read this book very quickly. It's packed full of information with lots of stories from people who use Agile in their organisations. You will come away with many useful tips about how to start putting Agile principles into practice. But its not simplistic. Thomas manages to convey that this is as much about mindset as it is about technique. If you've ever worked on a project that failed and you still haven't worked out why or what you could have done differently, this is the book for you. If you want to spend a little time getting up-to-date with the latest management thinking this is the perfect solution. Enjoy!

Learning Agile can be difficult because the most of the books written about it are boring and hard to read. This book, however, is readable, easy to understand and inspiring. If you only order one book about Agile, make sure it's this one.

This is the Agile book we've all been waiting for -- clearly written and simple to understand. After reading this book, I finally understand the principles of Agile methodology.
