Useful but lacking

Reviewed in Australia on 6 November 2016

Verified Purchase

A useful text. But is lacks depth in both theory and reflection on tge limitations of kata and building lean organisations from agile approaches derived at process and team . Not unexpected as the single lens the authors are looking through is lean. Nevertheless some important connections are made across different approaches and valuable authors.

More for the novice than the executive or academic student.

Everything you always hated about big companies and how to dismantle it

The government should fly planes over London dropping this book onto the streets.

A heart lifting guide to transforming Victorian, bureaucratic, hierarchical organisations into innovative, producers of digital experiences that delight their customers and empower the workforce.

A practical guide covering culture, history of Lean, the three horizons of a product, validation and MVP, measurements, feedback loops, flow and cycle time, innovation accounting, analytics, tearing down silos, impact mapping, continuous improvement, continuous integration, test automation, kanban, cost of delay, blue-green deployment, feature flags, lean UX, safe cultures, a/b testing, the list goes on and on.

Full of anecdotes and evidence, and levels wonderful criticism at the incumbent graying behemoths with their pathological cultures, so that at least when you fail to make dent you can reap some sense of schadenfreude from their inevitable bankruptcy, or bail out.

Great grounding

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2019

Thoroughly explained the underpinning theories that, in many cases, are only partially implemented in reality.

As someone dealing with the legacy environment on a daily basis, I would have hoped for some guidance on how this paradigm can integrate with what will necessarily exist in parallel for many years.

But a great insight into the concepts of the new none the less

Excellent, tour-de-force intro to Lean

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 August 2018

Verified Purchase

Intro is perhaps not the right word, it's far too detailed for that. I feel more like I've been studying for an MBA in Lean led by some excellent professors. What that should tell you is that this is not an easy read simply because there's so much content and knowledge to get your head round. It's also an excellent overview of the other lean literature that's around. I found the need to frequently take notes just not to forget the latest nugget I'd read.

Keep the Business in Business using all of your technology

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2015

Verified Purchase

Articulate book that shares many thoughts on how to use technology (people, suppliers, processes and the fun stuff) based on agile and lean such that your organisation and customers benefit. Best part is the manner it respectfully treats the alliance between Operations, ITIL and Dev with the business to create this mix iteratively over time. If you are a leader or manager, this book has a section to help with excellent examples to aid in the journey.

One of the best books on managing software teams I've read recently

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 May 2017

Verified Purchase

If you manage software teams (or IT teams) in any environment (more than 5 people) you *need* this book. This is a great, slightly technical review of how software projects should be managed processes to use (such as CI/CD - which every team should be using anyway) and some incredible references..

Well worth reading.

I would give it 6 stars if I could

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 October 2015

Every so often you pick up a book that immediately draws you in. This is one of them. It strikes the perfect balance between theory and practice (slightly more of the latter) and it brings together a lot of modern but slightly disparate ideas into a cohesive whole.

Fantastic read - invaluable for anyone delivering change and IT delivery

Really well positioned for a non IT person like me trying to see how IT and business teams can work together better. Good mix of theory, examples and advice.

Comprehensive, readable, practical. Thoroughly recommended.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 May 2015

Verified Purchase

An excellent book. There is so much in here, so clearly explained. Brings together a number of disparate modern concepts related to working in and managing IT in a large organisation. I have made hundreds of notes and now need to find a way to develop these ideas within my own firm. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
