Too dependent on companion PDF
What disappointed you about Agile Project Management for Dummies?
There is way too much reference to figures that are in the print edition, but are only included in the companion PDF of the audiobook. I don't mind occasional references, but there are a lot of these figures that are basic lists or cards that could just be read aloud. It gets the point that you lose a lot of context.
What was most disappointing about Mark C. Layton’s story?
I think the book is fine, but the presentation is pretty useless.

Excellent guide in the Agile world
Great clear ideas delivery, structured guide with lots of references. Excellent book for you if you don’t know where to start with agile, or if you’re sinking in the abundance of information you’ve digested already about it.
It’s better to use e-book/paper version, or one of those combined with audio, because the book contains lots of diagrams, tables and links to templates.
