Summary
In this timely follow-up to Extreme Programming Explained， software engineering gurus Kent Beck and Martin Fowler show exactly how to plan your next software project using Extreme Programming （XP）。 Planning is a vital element of software development -- but all too often， planning stops when coding begins。 Beck and Fowler show how to make software projects far more manageable through a series of simple planning steps every project manager and team leader can easily perform >every day。 The book follows XP projects from start to finish， presenting successful planning tactics managers and team leaders can use to adjust to changing environments more quickly and efficiently than ever before。 This book is full of war stories and real-world analogies， and offers actionable techniques on virtually every page。 It will be invaluable for every project manager called upon to deliver reliable， high-value code in "Internet time。"

Was written so long back， people still haven't learnt much of what was known then。 Was written so long back， people still haven't learnt much of what was known then。 。。。more

If you’re doing Scrum， 99% of this book is still relevant。 Despite a few bits of clangy prose， it carries buckets of earned wisdom。

Well， there were definitely some interesting ideas but if you have read XP or Scrum books， most of it would come as new material。

Outstanding overview of how to interact with engineers and plan in XP。

Another way to see development projects， much more people oriented。 It seems risky， but worth trying when traditional management tools keep failing on and on

The book is thought provoking and filled with easy to understand examples。 Still I remain somewhat ambivalent towards it。 Certainly， the point that the customer is the one who should be making decisions with regards to what should be done and in what order was strongly and reasonably made。 The same is true of the idea that the source of estimation should come from the developer and be balanced by the theory of the previous days weather。 I wish I could articulate what makes me conflicted with reg The book is thought provoking and filled with easy to understand examples。 Still I remain somewhat ambivalent towards it。 Certainly， the point that the customer is the one who should be making decisions with regards to what should be done and in what order was strongly and reasonably made。 The same is true of the idea that the source of estimation should come from the developer and be balanced by the theory of the previous days weather。 I wish I could articulate what makes me conflicted with regards to the book， but I can say that it feels like an earnest and well meaning salesmen just tried to sell me and I still have just enough doubts to not go with the sale。 。。。more

Quick nice followup on planning techniques for Extreme Programming， in terms of estimates， scope adjustments and so forth。

The original manifesto for XP， this book finally codified a lot of the project management knowledge that came to me from quite a number of different sources。 This is a fast book to read through and it does not waste your time with any of its material。 I would recommend that every developer read this book for the shared vocabulary it offers。 That being said， some parts of the book left me dissatisfied。 I think because I spent so much time in product-design oriented classes， I consider myself， fel The original manifesto for XP， this book finally codified a lot of the project management knowledge that came to me from quite a number of different sources。 This is a fast book to read through and it does not waste your time with any of its material。 I would recommend that every developer read this book for the shared vocabulary it offers。 That being said， some parts of the book left me dissatisfied。 I think because I spent so much time in product-design oriented classes， I consider myself， fellow developers， ops people， management， and everyone interacting with the software to be stakeholders in its design。 This manifesto abdicates all responsibility for generating end-user value stories to the nebulous "customer" entity。 While I agree that having the customer involved is imperative and that they should be generating the vast majority of the end-user oriented stories， I also believe that developers interests should align with the customer and that over time they should be able to generate stories with end-user value as well。 The developers should work to learn the customer needs and work with the customer to generate stories that can be delivered quickly and correctly， rather than relying on a potentially non-technical customer's imagination and intuition in a constantly changing field。 。。。more

This book was written by two very big names of modern software development。 This is the recipie for a masterpiece。 Somehow， it's very good， but not a masterpiece。 It even coul be considered as superficial on many topics。 At this point， you may call it a gentle introduction to cohn's "agile estimating and planning"。ma note de lecture en français ici This book was written by two very big names of modern software development。 This is the recipie for a masterpiece。 Somehow， it's very good， but not a masterpiece。 It even coul be considered as superficial on many topics。 At this point， you may call it a gentle introduction to cohn's "agile estimating and planning"。ma note de lecture en français ici 。。。more

Great complement to the classic "Extreme Programming Explained"， but more targeted to the XP management side of things。Planning and managing XP projects had been already covered to some degree in Beck's previous work but this book goes into much more detail， and will probably prove useful for the aspiring manager of an XP team。 Plus， it's a relatively light and easy read。 Great complement to the classic "Extreme Programming Explained"， but more targeted to the XP management side of things。Planning and managing XP projects had been already covered to some degree in Beck's previous work but this book goes into much more detail， and will probably prove useful for the aspiring manager of an XP team。 Plus， it's a relatively light and easy read。 。。。more

Two authors for whom I have immense respect and a foreword by Tom DeMarco。 I finally got around to reading this one。 I delayed because the other XP books already covered the planning game as far as I'd care。 But hopefully these authors can make it interesting still。I was pleasantly surprised that something apparently so simple as the planning game could have almost infinite subtleties。 The authors have streamlined it somewhat but the original intent stays。 Divide the work into manageable chunks Two authors for whom I have immense respect and a foreword by Tom DeMarco。 I finally got around to reading this one。 I delayed because the other XP books already covered the planning game as far as I'd care。 But hopefully these authors can make it interesting still。I was pleasantly surprised that something apparently so simple as the planning game could have almost infinite subtleties。 The authors have streamlined it somewhat but the original intent stays。 Divide the work into manageable chunks and let technical people make the technical calls and the business people （customer） make the business calls。 This is not only when to schedule stories， but when to split them and actually when they are done。 Well worth the small investment in time。Incidentally， I met Kent Beck at a local event the day after I finished reading this book， on 2004-11-17， and I got him to sign my copy。Update: I met Martin Fowler at a local event on 2010-05-12 and I got him to sign my copy too。 Two for two。 。。。more

Читал в 2004 году。 В те годы XP была в диковинку и все боялись внедрять эту методику。 Сейчас обычное явление。

Well written， easy to follow book with great examples。 Lots of ideas to try and hints and tips of common pain points。 Have been adapting our current agile-ish process based on my readings so far， and will continue to do so to ensure we have a process that works for out team/product。 Favourite takeaway is probably:"As the basis for your planning， assume you'll do as much this week as you did last"which just makes sense Well written， easy to follow book with great examples。 Lots of ideas to try and hints and tips of common pain points。 Have been adapting our current agile-ish process based on my readings so far， and will continue to do so to ensure we have a process that works for out team/product。 Favourite takeaway is probably:"As the basis for your planning， assume you'll do as much this week as you did last"which just makes sense 。。。more

Provides some very practical advice if you've read "Extreme Programming Explained" and now have to put all those high-level ideas and new practices into action on a real project - I keep it very close to my desk。 Provides some very practical advice if you've read "Extreme Programming Explained" and now have to put all those high-level ideas and new practices into action on a real project - I keep it very close to my desk。 。。。more

This is a book that focuses on how to do release planning when you have instituted XP。 There is little， that isn't in Extreme Programming Explained， but it is a little bit better organized and a little more focused on the Customer （i。e。， the Product Manager in XP lingo） rather than the Engineer。 This is a book that focuses on how to do release planning when you have instituted XP。 There is little， that isn't in Extreme Programming Explained， but it is a little bit better organized and a little more focused on the Customer （i。e。， the Product Manager in XP lingo） rather than the Engineer。 。。。more
