Agile development - overview

[Mustang]

Can anyone suggest and/or recommend a course to give me an overview of the agile development methodology? I know what it is but not the details but would be interested in understanding from a PM perspective.

TIA.

Stand up in front of a white board every morning telling stories. Then pair-up with some knob-jockey and write a test method called:

shoudDoSomethingReallyObviousWhichWeCanEasilyTellF romTheCodeButWeAreGoingToWriteAConvolutedTestWithS omeWackyNewMockingFramework()

When it doesn't work after two of you have wasted most the day, you adopt a 'JFDI' strategy and code it 'naked'. In the afternoon you attend a Show 'n Tell on the client's time where another agilist demonstrates their information radiator build status configuration tray-icon application written in Grobbles on Brail (v1.1) Then you go home.

You should write an Agile Development for Dummies book, Swamp.

Thanks! But I prefer Drewster's succinct "Bodge it, Ship it, Bodge it. I am a Pig."

Yeah you're right. Anything with 'Agile' in the title has to have been dreamed up by a bunch of cocklords, hasn't it?
