''Agile Software Development with Scrum'', by Wiki:KenSchwaber and Wiki:MikeBeedle, [ISBN 0130676349] I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in AgileSoftwareDevelopment. Though the book is a bit rough around the edges, with low quality graphics, tiny margins, a lack of bullets, and an unconventional cover, the quality of the content is excellent. I found Schwaber and Beedle's numerous case studies to be extremely helpful in understanding how Scrum is applied. Their application of complexity science to describing the software process was effective, though RoyMiller's ''GrowingSoftware'' spends more time on it. The book explicitly distinguished between incremental and iterative development. I haven't run across this in many other places. --DaveHoover The distinction is in use on the AYE conference site currently - Mid-April, 2003. I've heard a claim that incremental vs. iterative can be found in McConnell's CodeComplete, but I can't find it. One of the lengthy on line discussions about "agile" vs. "spiral" involving TomGilb - hosted on the Cutter site if memory serves - touched on this distinction, as has some of Boehm's later work. -- JimBullock The page on AgileSoftwareDevelopmentEcosystems has a discussion about this same topic -- PascalVanCauwenberghe ---- A BookOnTheBookshelf
