Overall, I thought the book was very informative. It dealt with a topic I had not yet read about in my studies of project management. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone interested in learning new methods of project management, especially those who are involved in software engineering.

I purchased your book "Managing Agile Projects" and I think it's one of the best ones I have read thus far, and I have a few of those.

I've read enough of it to know that it is a valuable addition to the project manager's arsenal, and some of the "war stories" and "lessons learned" certainly correspond to my experiences. I'm happy to recommend it to my colleagues.

When Kevin asked me if I'd like to review "Managing Agile Projects", I was initially suspicious of how the title would hold up against other titles in this very popular genre. After reading it, I have to say it does so very well. "Managing Agile Projects" is not a book about a methodology. Instead, it looks at agile project management as a whole and offers insights to various aspects of it through the words of a number of well-known authors (all of whom have donated any author royalties from this book to charity!). While the book has been stitched together from a huge cast of authors, the whole really is a well balanced whole although some chapters do stick out from the rest, being rather academic for my taste. The book really is a one-stop shop for describing agile software development to a project manager. It doesn't just run through the usual stuff found in pretty much any book on agile software development but also discusses hot potatoes like fixed-price contracts and documentation. I've read a whole bunch of books on agile software development and I still found plenty of material in this book that made my eyes gleam of new insight. I'm rating this one at no less than 9 horseshoes!

Kevin Aguanno has brought together a book on project management that hits the target dead center. The target is, of course, that all projects are unique; therefore the approach should be unique, or "agile", as well. This book represents a consolidation of very powerful, practical, and applicable approaches to project management, a definite asset in my project management toolkit. Its relevance reaches beyond IT and into industries were constant changes and rapid responses are required to survive and deliver successful projects.

Kevin Aguanno's Managing Agile Projects is a welcome addition to the complex issues surrounding managing software development projects using agile methods. It is neither too extreme nor too general, it's "just right." The reader will find a broad set of experience based recommendations for managing projects that use agile methods as well as practical advice on how to introduce agile to an organization. Since agile is itself an emerging process, Kevin's is a critical step along the way to a mature process based on adapting the best practices from a variety disciplines ranging from XP to CMMI.
