An extensive list of recommended readings round this out to be a must have book." -Nikki Rohm, Studio Director Project and Resource Management, Electronic Arts "The first steps along the path of improving your software process with Scrum are hard, and every step reveals new challenges.

It seems that as soon as someone asked me a question about some corner of agile development, I would realize that I had just read something excellent in one of Mike's chapters. I am so glad the book is finally out so I can stop saying, `Mike Cohn has a great new book coming out soon that will talk about this problem.' Now I can say, `Mike's book is out! Get it!'" -Linda Rising, Coauthor with Mary Lynn Manns of Fearless Change: Patterns for Introducing New Ideas "The title says it all; this is an astonishingly insightful and pragmatic guide to succeeding with agile software development.

Its contents are practical and easily accessible. Get it, read it, and apply it!" -Roman Pichler, Author of Agile Product Management with Scrum "Succeeding with Agile is at once enormously practical, deeply insightful, and a pleasure to read. It combines great ideas with stories and examples from around the software industry and will appeal to a wide range of readers, from those looking to adopt a new company-wide agile process to developers who just need to improve the way a team is running a single project." -Andrew Stellman, Developer, Project Manager, and Author of Head First PMP, Beautiful Teams, Applied Software Project Management "Adopting agile methods is hard enough on a greenfield web app in a small company. Transforming an enterprise is another matter. This book captures challenges like the ones we faced and offers insight and, more importantly, practical approaches." -Michael Wollin, Senior Development Manager, Broadcast Production Systems, CNN "Mike Cohn has put together a fantastic book of guidelines to not only start the Scrum implementation, but to turn your entire corporation into an agile community. I have already implemented many of the recommendations included in this text and have seen a positive influence on the support for Scrum within our organization." -James Tischart, CSM, CSP, CTFL, Vice President, Product Delivery, Mx Logic, Inc "In Succeeding with Agile, Mike Cohn has scoured and sifted through the collective experience and lessons of not only scores of different projects, teams, and organizations from his own agile experience, but also from the experience of countless others. He provides real-world stories from the trenches, useful data and studies, and invaluable insights into what has and hasn't worked well when adopting, adapting, and scaling Scrum. What I like best about the book is where Mike provides wisdom on several different alternatives and approaches and the circumstances in which each is most suitable." -Brad Appleton, Internal Agile Consultant at a Fortune 100 telecommunications company "I believe Mike Cohn's book will answer many questions and issues that people and teams struggle with in terms of how to improve collaboration, communication, quality, and team productivity. I especially appreciate and agree with Mike's statement that `there can be no end state in a process that calls for continuous improvement.' This is hard work and it requires persistence, teamwork, and good people. I plan to make Succeeding with Agile mandatory reading within my organization, just like we did with his book on Agile Estimating and Planning." -Scott Spencer, Vice President Engineering, First American CoreLogic, Inc. "Mike Cohn has done it again. This comprehensive study of agile software development provides numerous techniques and methodologies to achieve success. I enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone who wants to start using agile or wants to improve their software development process." -Benoit Houle, Senior Development Manager, BioWare (a Division of Electronic Arts) "There's no doubt that Mike Cohn's new book will become the reference on how to run software projects with Scrum. The book is very carefully crafted and avoids the trap of giving you the one, simple recipe to all your problems. Though mainly centered on Scrum, Mike draws on various other techniques to produce a handbook that is thorough and complete. This is not a hasty mash-up supported by just an act of faith or a single experience. The examples are credible and are a testimony of Mike's vast personal experience of the topic." -Philippe Kruchten, Professor of Software Engineering at University of British Columbia "This book is packed with useful advice on how your organization can become agile. It's a practical handbook for coaches and change agents who face real-world challenges, such as scaling agile for distributed teams, and who seek to engage with the wider organization. I love the way that Mike Cohn brings the book to life with stories from situations he's faced in the industry and follows up with data and insights from research. I learned something new from every chapter, and I bet you will too." -Rachel Davies, Coauthor of Agile Coaching
