Twenty years after the Agile Manifesto was first presented, the legendary Robert C. Martin ("Uncle Bob") reintroduces agile values and principles for a new generation of software developers. In this eagerly-awaited book, the best-selling author of The Clean Coder shows how to bring unprecedented levels of professionalism and discipline to agile development -- and thereby write far more effective, successful software.
As with his other books, Martin's Clean Agile: Back to Basics doesn't merely present multiple choices and options, and say "use your best judgment": it tells you what choices to make, and why those choices are critical to your success. Writing in the agile context, Martin offers direct, no-nonsense answers to crucial questions like:

• How and why did Agile begin?
• What are the costs and benefits of Agile?
• What are the most effective practices of Agile Development?
• How should an Agile team be organized?
• What roles do programmers, testers, and managers play in an Agile team?
• What is the role of the Agile Coach?
• What about Agile for large projects?
• What kinds of projects benefit from Agile?

Clean Agile: Back to Basics is essential reading for programmers, managers, testers, project managers and every software professional called upon to lead or participate in an agile project.
