Agile Modeling: Effective Practices for Extreme Programming and the Unified Process

Rating:
Summary: makes explicit what XP has implicit
Review: XP has modeling and design through its process, but the XP books did not name the modeling and design activities, just like it didn't name and describe many design patterns or coding idioms.

This books makes clear what options you have for modeling and design in XP, and how to do agile modeling and design in RUP.

I don't give it five stars, because you have to go elsewhere to learn how to do all the modeling techniques listed in this book.

Adding "humility" to the XP Core Values is very appropriate, since so many "modelers" need more humility.
