Agile Software Development Ecosystems

Just got this book from British Library, since it helps most of the times sometimes to read in the old traditional bookish way to understand the concepts. This is "Agile Software Development Ecosystems" by Jim HighSmith. It not only talks about scrum but other ASDEs.

Major Agile methods mentioned here are,

• Scrum
• Dynamic Systems Development Method
• Crystal Methods
• Feature-Driven Development
• Lean Development
• Extreme Programming
• Adaptive Software Development

The most appealing thing about this book is the presentation of case studies of companies on how they adopted the agile methodologies.

Some of the quotes by Ken Schwaber - Co-author of Scrum are

• "Scrum relies on self-commitment, self-organization and emergence rather than authoritarian measures".
• "Do these few things well, and projects will succeed"
