Agile Management For Software
Engineering David Anderson worked on the original Feature-Driven Development project in Singapore with Jeff De Luca, Peter Coad, and myself. David's book examines software development from the perspective of the theory of constraints. He analyses the most popular agile approaches to software development using these ideas.
