Introductory Books
Agile & Iterative Development: A Managers Guide By Craig Larman | The beginners guide to Agile: good overviews of the whole paradigm, and summaries of the different approaches. |
Scrum and XP From the Trenches By Henrik Kniberg | Also available as a downloadable PDF. If you are only going to read one Scrum book, then make it this one. |
Agile Software Development with Scrum By Ken Schwaber & Mike Beedle | The original Scrum book. Good, clear overview of the practices and principles of Scrum. It is somewhat out-of-date now, as Scrum has progressed since the book was written, but it is still a valuable read. |
Extreme Programming Explained: Embrace Change By Kent Beck | One of the first Agile books. Focuses mainly (but not solely) on the engineering practices, and supplies good overall context for creating an Agile organization. |
User Stories Applied By Mike Cohn | This clear and simple book covers the aspects of writing, estimating, prioritizing and committing to product requirements. Essential reading for Product Owners. |
