Chapter 5, Performing as a Team
Collaboration Etiquette (for the A4 format click here) – Increase team member collaboration with these friendly, comics-style posters of the do’s and don’ts of working together. (Note: The book refers to this resource as “Pairing Do’s and Don’t’s”, but in the years since writing it, Gil has found better traction by using the word “collaboration” instead of “pairing”.)
Chapter 7, Doing the Work, Part II: When It’s Software Development

Discover options for increasing your technical Agility, and enrich your retrospectives with rarely discussed insights and data.

Chapter 9, Adopting the Mind-Set
Mindset-Driven Custom Agile Implementation: Case Study (not mentioned in the book!) — How a 35-person project team at one of Canada’s banks designed a custom Agile implementation by first determining values, articulating beliefs, and choosing principles.
Considerations for Choosing Your Agile Coach — Great coaches minimize the headache and risk involved in an Agile transformation. However, they are not buzzword-compliant resources, and choosing the right coach for you can be tricky. Use this checklist to assess your candidates.
How Agile Are You? — Assess your “state of Agile” with this worksheet, which recasts the Agile principles as questions for self-assessment (these are the questions from the “How Agile Are You?” section in chapter 9, so you don’t have to copy from the book :-))
