I finished “Clean Agile” by unclebobmartin (npub19mu…jnft).
I entered software after Agile had become a prominent word. As a junior I was indoctrinated with the process and saw it strictly as a business function.
Clean agile did a good job of two things. The first is telling the story from a first hand account. Most of what I had read up to that point had been analysis and derivatives of principles. The human element in the story was important to illustrating the relevance it has to any human in software.
The second element that I appreciated was the effort to describing the agile principles with respect to actual development. This allows developers to see how agile enables them to enable the business and how that dynamic does not work as well from the other direction. This has been my personal experience where business agile processes expected a agile developer toolset that nobody seemed to be able to teach me.
I appreciate unclebobmartin (npub19mu…jnft)‘s candor and tone. There are few people who do well at emphasizing the “why” in coordination with the “how.”
I’m running out of books of his to read.
