Enough information provided here.

From what I came to understand as I read the final chapters of this book, its aim was to explain the various Agile strategies, compare them; where they fit in, when they can be used, which team is likely to benefit from what strategy, etc. and expose the reader to enough information to teach him which strategy is best for his own situation.

Deep insights about Agile Project.

Deep insights such as "the principle of embracing change is about embracing changes and not working against them" are peppered throughout this book. The content is a very brief overview of agile. Good for anyone that wants either a refresher, or a basic introduction to agile development. Covers waterfall and v-model development, benefits and disadvantages of agile, then goes on to discuss specific agile implementations.
