Amanda reviewed Scrum and XP from the Trenches by Henrik Kniberg
Review of 'Scrum and XP from the Trenches' on 'Storygraph'
2 stars
While the suggestions and experiences described in the book may be valuable, and at the very least constitute a commendable attempt at advancing the state of the industry, this book needs serious editing. Lots of Swedishisms have slipped through, especially in the latter chapters, and the author comes across as something of a douchebag. He seems to find himself immensely funny, yet employs the trademark false modesty of the tech-guy subculture.
Also, who in the world uses the ":o)" smiley!?
