Over the years I have taken content from this blog and made two books that are available via kindle and paperback.

Agile is one of the most popular software development methodologies used by organizations all over the world. It is characterized by adaptability, flexibility and self-organization, but what does it mean to truly “be” Agile instead of just “doing” Agile?
My first book Agile: “Understanding The Agile Manifesto: A Brief & Bold Guide to Agile“, though published 10 years ago, is often in the top 10 for its categories in Amazon.
This book offers in-depth commentary and explanations on the Agile methodology’s foundation, the Agile Manifesto. Larry Apke, a seasoned Agile coach, uses his own experiences to provide a clear, understandable path to implementing and succeeding with Agile for organizations and individuals.

My second book, “Managers From Hell, The PMO is Dead and Other Agile Stories“, was a compilation of my favorite blog posts over the years.
I am currently working on a third book on Agile metaphors with my son and hope to publish it by the end of 2023.
