Two of my blog posts have been included in the Best Agile Articles 2019 compilation, and I’m honored to be included in the book. This volunteer-produced compilation is available for free:

Since I first learned of this effort in 2018 to compile the best agile articles of the year and make them available to the community, I have helped nominate articles from bloggers whose work I’ve appreciated reading over the year, particularly lesser-known practitioners who are doing great things and sharing their learnings through writing. If there’s a blogger you love that I might also enjoy, let me know in the comments. I love recommendations.
