The Agile Manifesto
A 59 Seconds Agile Article
This article provides an ‘Introduction to the Agile Manifesto’ and looks to discuss what a values are stated within the Manifesto.

Be certain to make every goal measurable. Unlike the actual delivery of an Agile Scrum project, it is important that the roadmap includes a top-down budget as a guide. Highlight the functionality to be included by creating the first iteration of a product backlog listing critical features in order of importance.

User Stories Applied
A 59 Seconds Agile Book Review
User Stories Applied by Mike Cohn is one of our favourite books on Agile User Stories. The book starts with an overview into user stories, and details what a user story is and the different aspects of them.
