During my training and consulting journey, I usually get asked about books that I’d recommend people to read both as they start to learn about Scrum and as they mature in their understanding. Here is my list. I included some of the books about generic agile development and others that I consider are related to desired behavioral models for agile development. I would love hear any other readings you would add to this list.
