Organizational Patterns of Agile Software Development

For courses in Advanced Software Engineering or Object-Oriented Design.   This book covers the human and organizational dimension of the software improvement process and software project management – whether based on the CMM or ISO 9000 or the Rational Unified Process. Drawn from a decade of research it emphasizes common-sense practices. Its principles are general but concrete; every pattern is its own built-in example. Historical supporting material from other disciplines is provided. Though even pattern experts will appreciate the depth and currency of the material it is self-contained and well-suited for the layperson.
