Overview:  This award-winning book is written by Alistair Cockburn, and it is the second edition of the same book ‘Agile Software Development: The Cooperative Game’. In this book, Alistair Cockburn jolts down about his powerful model of Software Development as a “cooperative game of invention and communication.” He introduces some new ideas in this book, which includes: how to harness competition in the teams without damaging their collaboration; encouraging teams to learn lessons from Lean Manufacturing, and balancing strategies for communication. The author also illustrates some points on how the cooperative game can be played in business, engineering projects, and not just confined to Software Development.
