The Agile Samurai: How Agile Masters Deliver Great Software by Jonathan Rasmusson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is very straightforward and contains good advices to new and experienced agilists. It follows a pragmatic style and does a good job putting agile principles and practices into context using a dialog between a student and a samurai master.
A good tool I got from this book is the “Inception Deck”: a powerful expectation-setting tool containing 10 essential questions that should be asked at the beginning of any software project. It improves a lacking area of most agile processes: chartering. I’m even using a variation of this Inception Deck for setting expectations on my training classes.
