Agile
and Iterative Development, A Manager's Guide was the first book I read on
the subject. It turned out to be the best choice I probably could have
made. Craig Larman has created a definitive guide for all managers who
want to know "what this Agile stuff is all about".

Agile
Software Development with Scrum is the bible of Scrum. If you are
going to use Scrum and only want one book on your shelf...this is it.
|
 |
Agile
Project Management with Scrum is a good follow-up to the first book with case studies and anecdotes of companies using Scrum. |
 |
Agile
Project Management
A good book for some of the broader Agile principles of agile project
management
|
 |
User Stories Applied
Fantastic book about using User Stories. Very simple, yet powerful
tools for communicating feature requirements between teams and customers. |
 |
Agile
Estimating and Planning
An outstanding book on how to plan and track progress over the long term for
Agile projects. We've been practicing release planning since January
2006 and it is working great! |
 |
Lean Software Development, An Agile Toolkit
Very clearly written book on applying Lean Principles to software
development. This book really cleared up some of the connections
between the original Toyota Production System and Product Development
philosophy and current Agile thinking. |
 |
Implementing Lean Software Development, From Concept To Cash
Even more valuable than the title above. Mary and Tom Poppendieck
show how the seven lean principles can be applied to software development. |
 |
The Enterprise and Scrum
Ken's Schwaber's latest book. This book focuses less on the theory
and practices of Scrum and more on the adoption of Scrum at a team and
company wide level. I found a lot of parallels to issues of adoption
for game teams and the teams he describes in his book. Very valuable
book for any company adopting Scrum. |
