NEW: Great insights and argumentations can be found in the CIO.com article Agile Techniques, Agile Hype and the Essence of Agile [in IT and Business].

Martin Fowler’s new methodology is still well worth reading.

Don’t Repeat Yourself on the original C2 wiki by Ward Cunningham.

A good resource for loads of articles, talks etc. is InfoQ. For instance, Mike Cohn’s gread talk about prioritizing is there.

Mike’s own site hosts a wealth of information as well.

You usually find good insights on George Dinwiddie’s blog.

How to combine agile development with fixed price, fixed date contracts is described here.

Henrik also wrote and published Scrum and XP from the trenches on InfoQ, an invaluable insight into the actual procedures a successful Scrum/XP team developed. Now available in 8 Languages.

And you shouldn’t miss the Original, of course.
