 Robert ("Uncle Bob") Martin and the folks at ObjectMentor have written a new book that should be required reading for all programmers! When it comes to writing clear and maintainable code, cleanliness is indeed next to godliness, and we should all follow the Boy Scouts' Rule whenever we write or modify any piece of code: leave the place cleaner than when you found it!

 Jim Brosseau's Software Teamwork: Taking Ownership for Success is nothing less than a handbook of guidelines, tips, and techniques for anyone wishing to effect change and influence improvement in the effectiveness of software development teams. The book bills itself as an "intensely practical guide to improving the human dynamics that are crucial to building great software" and I would say it delivers on that promise.

 A Practical Approach to Building Successful Stakeholder-based Products, by Carl Kessler and John Sweitzer
Reviewed by Brad Appleton
Kessler and Sweitzer's Outside-in Software Development should resonate deeply with all those who genuinely value the principle of customer collaboration in the Agile Manifesto, and with anyone who has played the role of Product Manager for a software project. This 2008 Jolt award Finalist is not a book about eliciting or prioritizing requirements (or "user stories") for an Agile project. This book goes beyond mere user-stories and their ranking or velocity to focus on uncovering the underlying needs and goals of your stakeholders and understanding what truly adds value for the customer and the business.

 Lean
Project Management: Eight Principles for Success, is actually a second edition of
the eBook Eight Secrets to Supercharge
your Project with CCPM. It is available both in hardcopy and eBook formats.
Lawrence Leach (www.advanced-projects.com)
is perhaps best known as author of one of the most comprehensive texts on the
subject of Critical Chain
Project Management (CCPM). In this book, subtitled "Combining CCPM and Lean tools to accelerate project results," the
author essentially integrates Lean Thinking into CCPM, along with elements from
the Theory of
Constraints (TOC) and PMBoK/PMI.
Leach calls the result Lean Project
Management or LPM.
