[...] Two Chapters from Agile Estimating & Planning Available – Mike Cohn highlights the availability of two sample chapters from his forthcoming book on Agile Planning and estimating [...]
One of the best books on project management I have ever read.
Thanks for your kind words about the book, Stefano. Hopefully you’ll also enjoy Succeeding with Agile when it comes out on October 30.
Great to know another book of yours on the subject is in the press. Just added it to my wish list.
Thanks, Stefano. I submitted final PDFs back to the publisher yesterday. I am completely done with the new book, which is a huge relief. You can read more about Succeeding with Agile on my site and get sample chapters from the publisher’s website (for a few more weeks). (Look for them on the bottom right of that page.)
Mike, AWESOME BOOK!!! I just went through it AGAIN as a quick refresher and each time I go back, I come away with a reinforced understanding. Thanks again!
Hi Patrick–
Thanks for your kind words. I hope you like the new book as well.
I’m looking forward to it. I have the link bookmarked and am waiting.
Sorry, I forgot to ask. What’s the exact date of its release?
The book will leave the publisher’s warehouse on October 30. Amazon shows it available on November 9.
Mike,
great idea worth for your knowledge and experience!
Thank you for your work.
I loved the first book and am always promoting it at any presentation I give. Looking forward to reading the new one! Keep up the great work Mike!
Thanks, Bruce. I really appreciate that.
Hello Mike,
Unfortunately the links above no longer work. Is there still a place to look into those chapters?
Thanks!
Hi Dmitry–
I just checked and the links still work fine. I suggest trying them again.
They work indeed! Apparently the site was down temporarily. Thanks a lot!
I can;t see the book on Amazon. Can someone post a link. Great chapters Mike.
Hi Ramzan:
You can buy Succeeding with Agile from Amazon by clicking this link.
And Agile Estimating and Planning is also available from Amazon.
I’m glad you liked the chapters.
Good evening,
First of all it is a privilege to be talking with you, you are a reference in agile and metrics.
I was recommended your 2005 book ‘Agile Estimation and Planning’ and then I found this new book of yours, with the same title. Is this a revision of the previous one or is a revisit to the subject. Can you tell me difference between the two books.
Thank you for your time.
Best regards,
Isabel
Hi Isabel–
I’m glad you liked Agile Estimating and Planning. Thank you for your kind words.
All that happened was that to help promote my new book–Succeeding with Agile–my publisher decided to release two chapters from the older (2005) Agile Estimating and Planning book.
OK, I misunderstood. Thank you Mike!
Your new book is on the same subject? Are you allowed to tell us anything?
Hi Isabel–The new book is called Succeeding with Agile: Software Development using Scrum. It’s about getting started with agile (Scrum) and then how to get good at it. It’s meant to be the book you read after you’ve read an introductory book. Much more information is on the book’s website at http://www.SucceedingWithAgile.com
