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...
This book by Alan Shalloway, Guy Beaver, and James R. Trott offers proper solutions to integrate Agile principles and practices of Lean software development. As a product owner, you can leverage Lean and Agile to manage business-critical projects in an enterprise.

If you want to specifically prep for your class, visit and read their website. You can save pages as PDF and save locally, to Instapaper, or your Kindle.
Their site is full of connected information. All of those books are great references. I suggest the site because it will give you a good base for what you are going to be going over in the class.

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.

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...

Thanks Andrew. I've been going through SAFe's site, but I haven't looked at the Scrum guide. (For some really odd reason, I just got notification of your response - must've used the really slow electrons.)
I read the first few chapters of The Lean Startup over the weekend, and I really enjoy it. It's an easy yet fascinating read (that I wish I'd done years ago). Saving Changes...
