Several month ago I started to collect a list of the Top Agile Coaching Books from various social channels like LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook. I received so much input from so many people so I decided to divide the book list into five different categories: Top agile books for Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Agile Developers, Leaders & Agile Coaches.
Some of the book recommendations I received weren’t really related to Agile. However I thought that the following books can help Coaches and Scrum Masters to thrive and flourish in their daily work.
In this post I want to show you the Top 10 Non-Agile Books recommend by the Community.
The following list is ordered based on reviews and ratings on Amazon and GoodReads. If you think that there is an important book that should be added on that list, leave a comment below.
