Introductory Reading on Agile Requirements

I was recently asked about some introductory reading on agile requirements and working with agile at scale. This is the list of books, blog posts and a video I came up with.

  • An absolutely fantastic 15 minute overview of the product owner role in scrum. (over 125.000 views for a film of scrum!) by Henrik Kniberg.
  • A book I often see recommended (but that I unfortunately haven’t read myself) is Mike Cohn’s “User Stories Applied”.
  • A book I’ve read parts of and that I like so far is Mike Cohn’s “Succeeding with Agile: Software Development Using Scrum”.
  • A really interesting article about working agile at a larger scale: Scaling Agile at Spotify.

Of course I also recommended my own series about scrum, starting with the Scrum for Developers post.

    If you are interested in scaling agility, I read a great book by Dean Leffingwell that really examines bringing agile up above the Team level and involving the entire organization at a large scale. Aside from the basics, it gets into using agile for architectural epics, program planning, investment decisions:

    The book also references a website that he and a group of others have put together which provides a free framework (SAFe), and I’ve used pieces of that site for explaining to executives or program managers how to introduce agile to their level of the business.
