Configuration Management Principles and Practice Review by Claudio
Very disappointing - just theory, not agile
This book is the most disappointing book I read for years. The book is published as part of the "Agile Software Development Series".
If you know agile software processes you know they are very hands on. They are for team up to 10 maybe 20 people. Agile processes focus on delivering working software, not on documentation and too much formalism. The focus of this book is the complete oposite. For me, it targets projects with at least 50 or more team members in very large organisations. Far away from agile.
The second thing I don't like is that it's all just theory in this book. But no practice how I really implement configuration management in my company. Which tools do I need for what (ok, there is one page about that) and so on.
All in all, very disappointing and definitly far away from agile processes.
