Agile development defines a strategic capability to create and respond to change. Agile Software Construction reviews the leading agile development processes.

The book introduces the core concepts in a concise and easily digested form, and evaluates how successful the core techniques can be, as well as what problems may be encountered. The book also shows how some of these problems have been overcome on real world projects by combining XP, Agile modelling and Feature Driven Development.
