1. The Definitive Guide to Building and Using Story Maps - "Story mapping keeps us focused on users and their experience, and the result is a better conversation, and ultimately a better product.” - Jeff Patton While user stories are a great tool for talking about user needs, by themselves they aren’t very good at helping the team understand the big picture. If you've ever had that feeling that you're missing the forest for the trees, user story mapping can mean the difference between building the right thing, or building the wrong thing. Although he didn't invent user story mapping, Jeff has clearly mastered it and his years of experience are finally available in this book for all to benefit from. Using many actual examples, anecdotes, metaphors, and humor, Jeff spends the first four chapters explaining what user story maps are, what they’re not, and how to apply the knowledge you gain by using them effectively. You’ll also learn secrets to estimating (which shouldn’t be secrets to anyone), development and delivery strategies that help you reduce risk, and how to know if you’re focusing on the right outcomes and building the right thing. This is the chapter in which Jeff explains how to build a map. And the good news is (spoiler alert), building a story map isn’t hard. Using a simple example of a day in your own life, he walks you through each step and drives home each key concept. Now that you’ve got a story map, the next six full chapters are devoted to understanding how user stories really work and how to get the most out of them. No matter how much you think you know about stories, you’re going to learn some things you didn’t know. If the book ended at this point, I think you'd feel very satisfied that you learned more about stories and story mapping than you thought possible. But there’s more. Jeff then shares more stories and advice about the user story life cycle, managing your backlog, and lots of things you can do to discover what your product should be. For the finale, you get three chapters devoted to ‘Better Building’. You’ll learn how to conduct user story workshops, how to plan sprints and releases, how to collaborate (and how to not collaborate), and how to get the most from your story maps during the entire delivery process. User story mapping is an essential tool for the tool box of anybody involved in shaping or building a product and this is the definitive book on how to it will. The skills you’ll learn will have a profound impact on your ability to learn, understand, and build great products.

1. Authors own opinions - This book has some good ideas which are mostly common sense. Author contracts his own suggestions from other parts of the book. Most of the suggestions are authors own opinions in his organization's context. If you use these suggestions in your organization with a different culture/context, the result will be more disastrous. Don't take these suggestions as gospel and ask yourself which of these suggestions would work in your organization.

1. Coding Horror - Arguably the only classic book in our field. If you haven't read it, shame on you. I challenge any developer to pick up a copy of The Mythical Man Month and not find this tale of a long-defunct OS, and the long-defunct team that developed it, startlingly relevant. This twenty-five year old book boldly illustrates one point: computers may change, but people don't. Reading this classic work will certainly be a better use of your time than poring over the latest thousand page technical tome du jour.

1. iBooks are too expensive - I love Apple, I really do. However, this is getting ridiculous. I can purchase this book from a popular online bookstore for nearly / the price if this e-book from Apple!! I will have a tangible object that I can share with others, never need to charge it or worry about accidentally deleting it. The physical book costs more to print, distribute and physically ship...and yet soooo much cheaper... Interesting, to say the least. Apple, I know Steve is gone, you will need to appoint someone soon to help pull your head out of your bottom. Charging more for a better product is one thing. Charging insane amounts for the exact same information that everyone else has? WOW!

2. Not as useful as I had hoped - I have the paper version of this book. This book is written in the style of leading you along step by step, as you try it. And quite frankly, who has time to do that with a page book? Not designed to just look things up, or just read quickly to learn a lot fast. PROS: lots of screenshots, thick enough that it should have everything. CONS: most things AREN'T in the index. And when they were, I was surprised at how often the page felt irrelevant or incomplete to what I was trying to do. Don't look to this book as a deep, detailed resource. It's just not.

1. Pages for iPod review - This is a no frills explanation of how Pages works on the iPad. It's informative and I like the step-by-step instructions. However, I wish it was indexed in a way that when I have a specific question I could click on the indexed item and it would take me to that section of the book.
