Research - Books

This page details some books that AGILE members themselves have read and found of use to be recommended to the rest of our membership.

At this time, we have only listed a few books, with no real detail about their contents. Again though, with your help, we hope to build up a recommended list plus actual summary of the book in question.

As with the articles, if you can help us out, or have recently read a book you feel will be of value, please contact the National AGILE secretary
