It’s a nice book on the topic but definitely not a must-read. Cohn has good tips and general advices but the book focus lots more on planning than estimating.

Mike tells everything you need to know about agile estimating and planning. He shows different alternatives and which ones work in which circumstances. The example chapter at the end provides a great overview of applying all the lessons learned.
I regularly recommend this book to my clients.

I learned a great deal about agile processes and a way to plan release “empirical” way. Good read.

Mike takes agile planning to a new level with this one of kind book. Its a pretty simple read, not to high level but enough detail to get you through in the weeds of your day.

This is such a great book for reading and re-reading. I find new nuggets of information each time I go back to it. If I get stuck, or a situation arises, I know I can turn to this book for my answer. It took me a bit to get into this book the first time. I think it was because I thought his first book User Stories Applied: For Agile Software Development (The Addison-Wesley Signature Series)was so darn good. What could Mike possibly add to that piece of work? Well, a lot. Every team should have this book available for consultation. It is the next best thing to having Mike there in person!
