I haven't lately read that many books on Agile and software development, since I have felt that I learn more about software development reading about other subject than software development. Also some of the books have been quite boring, but I wanted give Craig Larmans and Bas Voddes book a change based on good reviews I had seen.
Too often books about Agile or Lean say mainly the same things that all other books are saying. Scaling Lean & Agile Development was a fresh exception. Although it...more

This is a fantastic book to help with the issues of taking scrum/agile/lean/xp from a small software development team into a much larger scale product development effort. The depth of knowledge and experience of the authors demonstrated by the fact that they don't give any silver bullets, but describe tools for dealing with complexity of scaling.

Excellent book. Lots and lots of practical experience brilliantly conveyed including background on theory and practices.
This will help you tremendously in implementing agile in any larger enterprise.
A must read for anyone thinking about taking in scrum or another agile process, whether in software or product development in general.
The writing is very concise and practical and will immediately read the companion book with more detail on practices.

The best book I've read for agile practitioners. Not for noobs... this isn't an introduction. But if you've been running agile projects for a year or two and want to know where to go from here, Larman lays things out clearly and practically, and I found very, very few points I disagree with. I'm even tempted to read the "companion" volume, although it promises to be filled with much more hands-on advice, and sounds a bit less useful for me.

Always getting back to this book to influence others with "back to basic" approach. Feature development and how to scale it in big organizations is written on a very easy and understandable way. Warmly recommend.
I found this book a very useful and detailed approach to the subject. I especially liked how it related Agile to general topics in Operations Management and the information about the Toyota Production System
Not a bad book with some interesting insights. Would have given it another star if they hadn't advocates for firing all PMs in a later chapter.
