Agile Reflections: Musings Toward Becoming "Seriously Agile" in Software Development

Agile Reflections began as a collection of blog posts from several series I've written from 2009 to 2012. As I looked back on the content, I saw some very compelling stories that, if updated and integrated into a cohesive volume, might add even more value to agile teams trying to increase their maturity and effectiveness.There are five sections to the book:1.Beginnings— the art of the start; how to effectively begin your agile teams and projects2.Execution— where the rubber meets the road I suppose…guidance around effectively iterating3.Customer— the why and what behind agile teams; who drives the value and who you deliver to4.Mindset— you can easily ‘say’ you’re agile, but are you really?5.Leadership— yes, we need ‘stinkin’ leadership. I think more so in agile teams than many believeI hope you find some value in the pages (physical or virtual) of this book. I want to think it will help you to become Seriously Agile.
