Pragmatic Thinking and Learning by Andy Hunt This is another book from Andy Hunt and the Pragmatic series. I can’t emphasize enough how great these books are.

The Enterprise and Scrum by Ken Schwaber On of my coworkers won this as a prize at the IndyTechFest. We were all very intrigued by the Kanban talk that was given there and so I wanted to learn more about using lean development techniques in business.
