The Agile Software Development Series
Alistair Cockburn and Jim Highsmith, Series Editors

Agile software development centers on four values identified in the Agile Alliances Manifesto:
? Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
? Working software over comprehensive documentation
? Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
? Responding to change over following a plan
The development of Agile software requires innovation and responsiveness, based on generating and
sharing knowledge within a development team and with the customer. Agile software developers
draw on the strengths of customers, users, and developers, finding just enough process to balance
quality and agility.
The books in The Agile Software Development Series focus on sharing the experiences of such
Agile developers. Individual books address individual techniques (such as Use Cases), group techniques (such as collaborative decision making), and proven solutions to different problems from a
variety of organizational cultures. The result is a core of Agile best practices that will enrich your
experience and improve your work.
