Good for those transitioning from a conventional process to agile methods. Not good for those whose organization already use an existing method that is not XP. Also had a difficult time getting past the use of feminine pronouns for the neuter case. The authors should read Strunk and White's Elements of Style before writing their next book.

    Vigneron mentions at the top of his review: "Good for those transitioning from a conventional process to agile methods." which is absolutely right.

    In this context, I think the book deserves "more stars" :) especially because it brings real-world examples and points out when Agile Development (XP in particular here) won’t work for you and your organization.
