A recommended Agile reading list

The following books are the ones I have found most influential and useful in my Agile journey. I recommend them as essential reading for anyone working in or with Agile teams.

These books will help both managers and teams shift to a more Agile mindset. They also help frame why focusing on things like “Flow” over “Resource efficiency” will get you better results than just following practices blindly. Lots of them have practical advice for how to implement Agile or improving Agile practices and give you some of the theory behind the practice.
