The book is much more than a textbook about agile methodology and is written to be a practical workbook or field manual. Readers can understand the concepts and apply them easily to everyday situations. Terms are clearly defined. Each chapter started with a comprehensive write up; random images and icons are used. Helpful graphs and charts are also included. An overall reading experience by people who gave a review is unanimously pleasant. The book provides examples from various industries, ranging from practical and to workable software development, to illustrate the application of agile management practices. On the downside, a single standard that runs from chapter to chapter. More references to case studies that demonstrate the successful implementation of specific management practices also would be desirable. In general, the book is a very worthwhile read. We have used the methods successfully with our clients.
