I've purchased many "...for Dummies" books in the past but this is the first one I've actually read cover-to-cover. If you are familiar with the "...for Dummies" series, you know what you're going to get: a nuts and bolts, start with the basics, type of book. Having knowledge of and experience in the traditional waterfall project methodology for software development and delivery, I wanted to learn more about Agile Project Methodology but I wanted to make sure I started with a solid foundation. If your plan is the same as mine, this book fits the bill. It begins with background information (Ch. 1), then the Agile Manifesto and the 12 Agile Principles (Ch. 2) and builds on that each chapter thereafter. Besides the key terms, definitions, project team roles, Agile in practice, etc.... this book delves into topics such as procurement, working with vendors, and project cost and budget considerations specific to Agile projects. If you read from cover-to-cover, you will notice some repetition in the book; intended for those who use the book as a reference - read a section here, chapter there, skip ahead. I didn't mind it. In fact, I used it to my learning advantage. I feel confident in what I have learned here, so much so, I feel I am ready to move on and tackle heftier Agile-specific topicsProduct details

Agile Project Management for Dummies (Audible Audio Edition) Mark C Layton Sean Pratt LLC Gildan Media Books Reviews
Great explanation of Agile projects clear presentation of concepts, application of the methods, and understanding of managing such projects. Mr. Layton does a fine job communicating in a practical, understandable way. He provides depth and breadth without becoming too academic or too simple.
Great book for those that want to learn Agile Project Management. I am currently in a class that is using this book and it is easy to read and understand.
I was able to attend one of Mark's Certified Scrum Master classes through his company, Platinum Edge, and it was such a great course I had to buy this Agile Project Management book to follow. Similar to Mark's in-person teaching style, this book was extremely informative and easy to understand. I also bought Scrum for Dummies and am excited to read that too!
Great intro to agile, but after reading I don't understand where user experience design fits in. Is it part of the dev team? Is it a team outside of the scrum team that supports the product owner? Is design frowned upon and supposed to be left to developers? Are mock ups and prototypes incompatible with agile since they aren't a shippable product? In theory everything sounds great.
I read this book prior to taking an Agile class from the author. And I'm glad I did, since his 16-hour lecture/workshop was jam-packed with concepts that were new to me. Once I understood it, I realized that Agile is the way of the software industry. Yet it can be applied to most human endeavors with good results.
Although the book describes agile in a thorough manner, the author repeatedly harps on how Agile should not and cannot be mixed with other project management tools. I disagree. There are aspects of Agile that can help projects being managed via other methods. I also felt the book could have been presented in about 2/3 the volume. The author repeated himself. Most of the information he presented here I found on Wikipedia before I read this book.
Every other book for dummies i have read starts from scratch giving you good knowledge of the subject in hand. In this particular case you must have some knowledge of project managment or have read the project managment for dummies. It is not enterily necesary but there are a lot of concepts that you understand better if you know what the starting point for this metodology is.
I suggest this boook to any Project manager who wishes to learn something different and way more agile in their pmanagment!
