Agile Programming

I’ve pointed readers to a list of books on lean and agile lately, so here’s another one to consider. Reviewed by Brad Appleton in the Agile Journal, The Art of Lean Software Development: A Practical and Incremental Approach by Curt Hibbs, Steve Jewett, and Mike Sullivan receives a favorable review. However, Appleton takes pains to make sure that readers—especially long-time readers of the Agile Journal who may be advanced agile practitioners—understand that the authors’ wrote the book as a primer for the complete novice. But having said that, Appleton recommends the book on those grounds. Yes, it claims to be a basic introduction to lean and agile, but that’s okay because that’s exactly what it delivers. At this point in agile’s maturity, a solid introduction to the most important parts of the puzzle is always in demand.
