The Twelve Agile Principles
A 59 Seconds Agile Article
This article provides an ‘Introduction to the The Twelve Agile Principles‘ and looks to discuss what each or the principles are and what each principle means.

The problem comes in how agile is interpreted and executed in a team or organization. Among the issues is that teams complain about agile being forced on them.
Organizations tend to perceive it as the antithesis to traditional project management and implement set rules without considering whether or not it is a good fit, and more importantly, whether it is what is needed.

Teams complain that agile is an engineer-focused methodology. And more often than not, product owners are from the development team, which ends up reinforcing that idea.

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.
