Agile!: The Good, the Hype and the Ugly by Bertrand Meyer

4.0

This is the clearest overview and explanation of the various "Agile" methodologies that I've ever seen. My only knock on this book is that it is written in a slightly stiff, academic style -- it feels like some things are covered more than once. That said, this book lays out exactly what is good and what is unnecessary from the Agile methods. It brings some overheated claims down to earth and connects allegedly new practices with decades-old industry best practices. Overall, I'd highly recommend this for anyone joining an Agile team.
