Alistair Cockburn's latest book, Crystal Clear: A Human Powered Methodology for Small Teams, was released a couple of weeks ago. I've been waiting for this book for a long time and am very happy to finally see it in print. Crystal is summarized by seven properties:
1. Frequent delivery
2. Reflective improvement
3. Osmotic communication
4. Personal safety
5. Focus
6. Easy access to expert users
7. Technical environment with automated tests, configuration management, and frequent integration

You can purchase the book at Amazon US at http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201699478/ambysoftinc. IMHO, it's a must read for agilists.

- Scott

Or using this link, if you prefer to support JavaRanch.

(JavaRanch will get a small amount of cash for each click, and even more if you actually buy something. Using Scott's link, he will receive the money. Of course there is also nothing wrong with the latter, just wanted to point that out to those visitors who might not be aware of amazon's affiliation system.)

I certainly can't wait seeing it promoted here!
