“Managing Agile Projects” provides a comprehensive and well-balanced look at the various components of agile project management.  It contains a compilation of “chapters” from seventeen industry authors.

Describing the key elements of agile methodology, “Managing Agile Projects” provides an analysis of iterative and incremental delivery, active stakeholder participation, communication, agile documentation, extreme testing, and quality focus.  Through real and hypothetical examples readers gain a thorough understanding of how agile methodology is applied to project management. 

Kevin Aguanno has done an excellent job of compiling publications and agile community expertise into an easy to read, articulate guidebook covering the history of agile methods, how the methodology differs from traditional methods, when the methodology works, and in what situations it may not be appropriate in its entirety. 

“Managing Agile Projects” is a recommended read for all project managers, software developers, and anyone with an interest in leading edge methodology!
