Per some requirements at work to assist everyone with a common understanding of Agile/XP development, it was requested that we all read this book.

Sadly what shines out in this book is the fact that others have made better contributions to the canon of agile knowledge. Particularly time has bitten into the value of the Java coverage as well as the way the team aspect of development is approached. I'd say now buy XP Explained and leave this book as a historical artefact.
