Links
This page lists useful agile development sites. It summarises some links in the Articles section of this site, and adds a few others too.
Overview of Agile Development
The Agile Manifesto, a summary of the common ground shared by all agile processes.
Martin Fowler's New Methodology article. It's an overview of the agile movement (like this site, but by a famous author :-)
Detailed Material On Agile Development
Articles by Alistair Cockburn (pronounced "Co-burn"), author of Crystal Clear. These are an excellent resource covering his years of research into software development. There's a lot to read, so I'd suggest you start with his more recent material, from say 2001 onwards.
This article, on process being the 4th dimension of the "iron triangle", is a good introduction to the productivity benefits of selected agile techniques.
Jack Reeves on why software engineering is all "design" with no "build". This suggests a process that prioritises creativity over predictability.
Agile Modeling. A valuable resource on modeling and documenting software, tasks which have traditionally been seen as "non-agile".
Agile Processes
The book, on the publisher's site and at Amazon.
Discussion of Crystal on Wiki Wiki Web.
Other Processes
See this list. I'll add more links when I (eventually :-) cover other processes on this site.

A suggested approach to fixed-price contracts, from Martin Fowler.
