Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Developers and managers currently practicing agile who want to understand its intellectual origins
- Readers interested in software development history and stories of people in the industry
- Technical leads who need to explain to their teams where agile came from
- Readers who enjoy light personal reportage that can be read in fragments
Not a good fit for
- Readers looking for concrete agile tools and operational templates
- Readers expecting a systematic methodology textbook or certification exam preparation material
- Readers with no familiarity with and no interest in the software development industry
Reading tips
- Read the original Agile Manifesto first, then compare it with how each figure in the book understood it differently.
- Read by person, one or two at a time, to better remember each one’s experience.
- When you reach a passage relevant to your own practice, note down transferable practices or reflections.
- After reading, share one or two figures’ choices with your team and discuss where your team stands on agile.

About the author
The ZenTao Team is a Chinese development and maintenance team known in the industry for creating ZenTao, a domestic open-source project management software. The team advances the design and iteration of the software around the practical needs of project management and continues to invest in the open-source community. At present, the team has only one work in the library, A Brief History of Agile, which falls under programming and design. Public information is limited, and the team's membership and specific history cannot be confirmed. Based on the available information, its writing and publishing focus leans toward agile development and project management practice, presenting the methodology behind software tools to Chinese readers in an accessible form and offering some reference value for understanding the ecosystem of domestic open-source project management tools.
