Review of Agile Anywhere

A key part of agile is the ability to handle change. This book exemplifies this principle, being a refocused second edition of Agile software engineering [1]. The book’s central tenet is that “agility can be implemented anywhere.” Hence the book now treats agile not just as a software engineering approach, but as a broader approach toward project management and development more generally. As a result, the book’s content has been changed to discuss not just agile software engineering, but agile as “a lifestyle.” These changes are done with some success, though at times the content seems artificially stretched to fit this new definition, and generally the authors could have included many more examples to illustrate their points.
