I want to thank Nancy Kastl for the great suggestion and everyone that voted during the selection process. This is a useful book. Interestingly during a Heart of Agile get together this week a number of people recommended the book in the chat. I am glad I read it. If you do not have a copy or have tossed it at someone during a crucial conversation, it is time to buy a copy.
