I suppose I have more than a casual interest in reviewing this book. The software development team I work with operates using agile development. Reviewing this book is for me, a way of becoming more familiar with the people I work with and how they work. I'm not a developer...not in the software sense anyway. They call me a developer of content and that's what I do...provide help files, white papers, and any other documentation to describe the products developed by the folks I work with. While I have had agile development explained to me and have seen it in action every workday of the week for the past two-and-a-half months, it will be interesting to see the "official" version presented by Shore and Warden.

Actually, there's more than one way to practice agile development, but this book only describes one way, based on the authors' experience with Extreme Programming (XP). That isn't the version that my team uses so I figured the book would seem both familiar and unfamiliar depending on how close the XP flavor was to what I'm used to.
