I have the PMBOK 6 and its associated Agile Practice Guide plus Mike Griffiths' PMI-ACP Exam Prep book. I'm looking to add some other books to read while I'm on airplanes that are informative without being pedantic and laborious to read. I'm taking a SAFe class soon, so anything related to that framework is also appreciated. Saving Changes...

I went to my local used bookstore and found The Lean Startup for half price. The only copy of User Story Mapping they had nationwide was in Plano, so it's on its way. I had to order Lean-Agile Software Development from Amazon.
George, thanks for the feedback on The Lean Startup.
I was looking at it on Amazon a few minutes ago, and it has a lot of either fake or misplaced reviews. Probably 80%+ of the 2200 reviews are for wine glasses, scarves, targets, bottle openers, etc. That turned me off on the book initially, but I may still give a try after all.
Amazon is looking into the issue with the reviews now... Saving Changes...

John, that's odd. I really like the book. Saving Changes...

That's good to know. I'm going to start sponging up more information along these lines. :-) Saving Changes...

I'm really enjoying Jeff Patton's User Story Mapping, and I found this cool video he did:
another good read is Tony Hsieh's Delivering Happiness which covers the startup and rise to success of Zappos.

Kiron,
Thanks, I'll add it to my list. I need to finish User Story Mapping then read Lean-Agile Software Development which I also picked up. I have the SAFe 4.0 Distilled book and my POPM class this weekend.

If you haven't read Jeff Patton's User Story Mapping or Eric Ries's The Lean Startup, I'd highly recommend both!
Kiron
Yes the Lean Startup is a must read Saving Changes...
Thanks Sergio. I'm looking to increase my general knowledge base for now and will take the exam later this year.
If you don't mind getting "distracted" from PMI-ACP and SAFe studies, I suggest Agile Project Management with Kanban by Eric Brechner. It's only 160 pages quick read.
