Agile summer reading
Books have a way of shaping who we become. They invite us to explore new ideas, see different perspectives, and understand the world and ourselves a little better. Every story we read carries the power to spark curiosity, inspire reflection, and leave us with something worth holding onto.
Through the journeys of characters real and imagined, we learn to see life through other eyes, building empathy and compassion along the way. Reading also gives us a break from the rush of daily life: a moment to slow down, recharge, and reconnect with what matters.
Maybe most of all, books remind us that even when our experiences differ, our hopes, dreams, and emotions often connect us. They open doors to new cultures and ways of living, inviting us to embrace difference with an open mind.
So wherever your next book takes you, we hope it surprises you, moves you, and stays with you long after the last page.

Agile Practice Guide, Second Edition
What’s new in the Agile Practice Guide, Second Edition?
Agile isn’t standing still, and neither is the guidance behind it. The Agile Practice Guide, Second Edition, developed jointly by the Project Management Institute (PMI) and Agile Alliance, gives project and product leaders practical, real-world guidance for putting agile approaches to work and driving results across their organizations.
Here’s what’s changed.
- A broader scope.
The guide now covers modernized approaches to implementing agile, including new material on agile-adjacent methods, sustainability, and the realities of today’s work environments. - Guidance you can actually use.
Rather than abstract theory, the guide gives teams practical tools, situational guidelines, and a clear view of the full continuum of available life cycles, so they can choose the right approach and get better results. - A look at where agile is headed.
New sections help teams adapt to remote work and the growing role of AI and emerging technologies so that organizations can stay flexible and competitive as the landscape shifts.
Aligned with the PMBOK® Guide, Eighth Edition, this practice guide supports practitioners as they plan and execute agile projects and organizational initiatives. It’s a practical companion for any team working toward successful agile adoption, offering the tools and perspective needed to respond to change, improve continuously, and unlock what agile can really deliver.
