This book is a good guide to both CM and Agile principles, and it demonstrates how to use software configuration management to enable your team to be more agile. This book can guilde you to understanding how to manage releases in an agile environment, and how to apply basic CM concepts like build and branching successfully.

This book complements Software Configuration Management Patterns: Effective Teamwork, Practical Integration as it is geared a bit more towards release managers, and those with a project focus than towards developers.In addition to the basics of branching, build and release, this book covers topics such as how to leverage cloud service providers for infrastructure, how to leverage SCM to make off-shore development less painful, and how to evolve your SCM process in an agile, incremental, fashion. With a good structure that allows you to navigate the book quickly, and a good use of metaphor to describe concepts, this book will help a release managers, project managers, and architects define a SCM process that will help their agile teams do all that they can.
