Agile 相關好書
我想大家應該都知道, 前一陣子有出一本有關agile testing的好書:
Agile Testing: A Practical Guide for Testers and Agile Teams
雖然我知道它是signature series, 但是Kent Back和Martin Fowler都沒有廣告他們. 後來才發現它其實是Mike Cohn所出的signature series.
他一共有四本書, 除了agile testing外, 其他三本即將快要出版. 分別列出如下:
1. Agile Game Development with Scrum
這是講有關agile development和video game development的書, 他描述game development的發展歷史, 以及作者如何利用Scrum, XP, Lean來發展更好的game.
你可以在這裡下載此書第二章的試讀版: Why Agile?

2. Agile Product Management: Turning Ideas into Winning Products with Scrum
這是一本討論agile product management的書, 適合product owner或是想要當product owner的人去看. 他會討論傳統專案管理和agile project management不同的地方, 並提出做法來解決開發前期和後期所發生的問題.
這裡是它的目錄

3. Coaching Agile Teams: A Companion for Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches and Project Managers in Transition
目前非常少資料, 告訴你如何扮演scrum master或是project manager的角色. 因此很多人會問到: "在一個self-organized的團隊中, 我該做什麼? 要扮演怎樣的角色? 我何時該放手", 本書會針對這些問題, 提供適當的建議和答案.
