*Describes an agile process that works on large projects

This book describes using the ICONIX Process (an object modeling process) in an agile software project. To do this, the book defines a core agile subsetso those of you who want to "get agile" need not spend years learning to do it. Instead, you can simply read this book and apply the core subset of techniques.The book follows a real-life .NET/C# project from inception and UML modeling, to working codethrough several iterations. You can then go on-line to compare the finished product with the initial set of use cases.
