Agile software development has become an umbrella term for a number of changes in how software developers work. This book presents a comprehensive snapshot of the knowledge gained over many years of research by those working closely with or in the industry.

Addresses both sources of the agile confusion: fuzzy, multifaceted scope and poor, unconsolidated dissemination of research results and experiences Based on many years of academic research and industrial experience Contributions written by leading experts in agile software development Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
