As someone who works with the Agile principles on a daily basis, I’m always snooping around the Internet to find something relevant to read about the topic and learn a bit more or different ways to apply it at work but also in life. Agile Creativity: Agile Principles For Creative People is an interesting read, especially if you are working on more creative projects that allow its use. Even though it’s directed to creative people, the author does a really solid job explaining the basics, the workflow, and teamwork necessary. The language used is pretty straightforward, so the book is quite concise and goes directly to the point. There are some interesting exercises and examples to make everything crystal clear. As many creative people work alone, I thought it would focus a bit also on how to apply it in individual projects. Maybe in the next edition! Overall, it was a good book with solid information.
