Clean Agile: Back to Basics by Robert Martin, Robert C. Martin
5.0
It's good to be reminded what was Agile (is it a noun now?) all about in the beginning, before it became distorted beyond all recognition by the industry. The book should probably be obligatory for everyone working in IT. Although, I don't agree with everything, especially with the critique of Agile Lifecycle Management (ALM) systems and I don't think that implementation of the presented practices is as easy as Uncle Bob says. If it would be that easy, there wouldn't be so much struggle, especially in big organizations.
What I did like is how savage Uncle Bob is about Agile certification programs. Some quotes:
"The Agile certifications that exists are complete joke and utter absurdity. (...)"
"(...) For example, the fact that someone is certified a Scrum Master is worthless certification".
Ouch.
