Agile Books: Rocket Nine Recommended Reading

June 27, 2018 By Cliff Rosa

If you’ve been to one our classes, no doubt you’ve seen the Table o’ Agile Books in the back of the room. At Rocket Nine Solutions we value reading as a pathway to learning and personal transformation. We believe learning is the key to agility in your career.

In this post you’ll find a list of what our team considers some of the most important agile books to keep the learning going after class. Don’t be surprised if the list changes over time. If it were never to change… that wouldn’t be very agile. 🙂
