    About this ebook

    The first book to cover Agile Modeling, a new modeling technique created specifically for XP projects eXtreme Programming (XP) has created a buzz in the software development community-much like Design Patterns did several years ago. Although XP presents a methodology for faster software development, many developers find that XP does not allow for modeling time, which is critical to ensure that a project meets its proposed requirements. They have also found that standard modeling techniques that use the Unified Modeling Language (UML) often do not work with this methodology. In this innovative book, Software Development columnist Scott Ambler presents Agile Modeling (AM)-a technique that he created for modeling XP projects using pieces of the UML and Rational's Unified Process (RUP). Ambler clearly explains AM, and shows readers how to incorporate AM, UML, and RUP into their development projects with the help of numerous case studies integrated throughout the book.
    • AM was created by the author for modeling XP projects-an element lacking in the original XP design
    • The XP community and its creator have embraced AM, which should give this book strong market acceptance

    Companion Web site at www.agilemodeling.com features updates, links to XP and AM resources, and ongoing case studies about agile modeling.

      Ambler's case for an agile modeling process is persuasive, although there's little evidence for or against. The cornerstone of the argument is to use whatever model is useful to you, and model only until you have enough information to go to the next step (modeling or writing code). It's a pragmatic approach, which is probably why it's convincing without being demonstrably successful. Ambler doesn't recommend or explain specific models, but the Appendix has a giant list of models used for business, requirements, analysis, design, architecture and infrastructure modeling.
