Agile Values and Principles for a New Generation

In the nearly twenty years since the presentation of the Agile Manifesto, the legendary Robert C. Martin ("Uncle Bob") reintroduces the values and principles of Agile for a new generation - both programmers and non-programmers. In Clean Agile: Back to Basics, he strips away misconceptions and distractions that over the years have complicated the use of Agile. He clearly describes what Agile is: a small discipline that helps small teams manage small projects with significant impacts, as every large project consists of many small projects.

Drawing on his fifty years of experience with projects of every kind, he shows how Agile can bring true professionalism to software development. He explores key practices that address business issues in Agile, the relationship of team members, and the value of technical quality. If you want the real benefits of Agile, there are no shortcuts: you have to do Agile right.

Clean Agile: Back to Basics will show you how, whether you are a programmer, tester, manager, project manager, or customer.
