The practices that make a software project successful are usually missing in those
projects that fail. These are the practices, habits, ideas and approaches that
make that critical difference between success and failure. By following these
better practices you can show yourself, your teammates and your managers real
results, and begin to effect a broader change for your whole project.
This book covers practices in five areas:
- Development Process
- While Coding
- Developer Attitude
- Project and Team Management
- Iterative and Incremental Learning
These practices provide guidelines that will help you succeed in delivering
and meeting the user's expectations, even if the domain is unfamiliar. You'll
be able to keep normal project pressure from turning into disastrous stress
while writing code, and see how to effectively coordinate mentors, team leads,
and developers in harmony.
The one wealth that grows as we give is knowledge. But this is also the one
wealth that may be hardest to obtain. It takes effort, especially in a field
as dynamic as software development. This book shows you why keeping up with
change is important, and provides options to make it work for you.

Excellent start for Agile programming
This book gives a good idea of what agile programming is all about, the authors focus on developing a project by extensive interaction between project requirements team, developers and testing team all the time so that when mistakes happen they are rectified sooner than later. I would recommend this book to everyone who is interested in trying agile programming at work.
