"The Art of Agile Development offers a gestalt view of the agile process, including no-nonsense advice on planning, development, delivery, and management based on the authors' many years of experience with Extreme Programming (XP). It provides hands-on technical practices for developers and testers, as well as information for nontechnical readers. The authors also tackle a difficult aspect of agile development: building cooperation and trust among team members."--BOOK JACKET.
