The Underscore Archives

> My father is thinking of bringing all of his years-worth of project
management into a freelance consultancy offering. I'd like to get him a book
on Agile Project Management for crimble, any recommendations? I see SCRUM
mentioned alot - is this relevant? ...I know it's not the usual 'scrum' that
would appeal to his Welsh side, though...


Hi Keir 

SCRUM is the project management technique for Agile Development, so that
would be more the thing you are looking for.  Although it is developed for
coding, elements of it can be applied for more general project management;
for example, we take some techniques to actually run our company - though we
don't lock our heads and kick a ball around ;).

The book Ade suggested is a good recommendation, Ken Schwaber is one of the
original guys who came up with SCRUM.  Also look out for Mike Cohn.
