			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just heard about agile software development or Scrum and want to know more about it? Here are 3 books which will get you started and maybe tempt you to take the blue pill:</p>
<p>1. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Agile-Iterative-Development-Managers-Software/dp/0131111558/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1247776074&amp;sr=8-3">Agile and Iterative Development: A Manager&#8217;s Guide</a>: This one gives you a high level overview of everything agile, including Scrum. Good to get a first basic understanding of agile principles and methodologies / practices around town.</p>
<p>2. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Agile-Project-Management-Microsoft-Professional/dp/073561993X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1247776074&amp;sr=8-1">Agile Project Management with Scrum</a>: This is the reference book on Scrum written by Ken Schwaber. A must read for anyone who has already a pretty good idea of agile principles and is considering Scrum.</p>
<p>3. For the German speaking audience, Boris Gloger&#8217;s book &#8220;<a href="http://www.amazon.de/Scrum-Produkte-zuverl%C3%A4ssig-schnell-entwickeln/dp/3446419136/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1247776834&amp;sr=8-2">Scrum: Produkte schnell und zuverlässig entwickeln</a>&#8221; provides excellent materials. For the record: I was lucky to have Boris as my trainer for my CSM training.</p>
<p>What would you recommend for someone willing to know more about agile software development?</p>
