Ron is an author of the Agile Manifesto, the document that helps provide the conceptual underpinning for Agile methods such as Scrum and Extreme Programming. Chet was the Manifesto’s first signatory.

Ron and Chet, along with Ann Anderson, wrote Extreme Programming Installed. It detailed XP’s core practices, how to do them, and how they work together to help teams be successful.

In Extreme Programming Adventures in C#, Ron detailed the agile approach he and Chet took as they taught themselves C# by writing an XML editor. This book gives a ‘warts and all’ look at the work practices of two of the world’s foremost Agile practitioners.

Together and separately, Ron and Chet help teams succeed using Scrum’s project management and XP’s software development practices.
