This book is very well written and gives a great description of many different types of Agile practices. Although the book centers around XP, I think many of the techniques and practices could be brought over to any of the different Agile disciplines. The book also goes into the all important steps of selling agile practices to those with the money: managers, directors, stake holders, and the customers. This is a very important step! The book is also nice in that it doesn’t necessarily have to be read in chapter order. If you need some help on something, it’s easy to pick up the details by just going straight to that section – no need to read everything before it to get caught up. All the information in the book can be applied directly. Many of the concerns related to starting up Agile development in a shop are covered very well.
