This book is well written. It has the right amount of detail and simplicity. When I started out in game development the book helped me lot in understanding game development.
I have come to believe that Agile is a hoax and Scrum too is a hoax. Standup meeting is a bigger hoax. Anyways, long before I understood this I wrote about why the hoaxes should happen towards the end of the day. http://www.rahul.ws/on-daily-meetings.html
