Leading Lean Software Development: Results Are not the Point (Paperback)

Building on their breakthrough bestsellers Lean Software Development and Implementing Lean Software Development, Mary and Tom Poppendieck’s latest book shows software leaders and team members exactly how to drive high-value change throughout a software organization—and make it stick. They go far beyond generic implementation guidelines, demonstrating exactly how to make lean work in real projects, environments, and companies.

The Poppendiecks organize this book around the crucial concept of frames, the unspoken mental constructs that shape our perspectives and control our behavior in ways we rarely notice. For software leaders and team members, some frames lead to long-term failure, while others offer a strong foundation for success. Drawing on decades of experience, the authors present twenty-four frames that offer a coherent, complete framework for leading lean software development. You’ll discover powerful new ways to act as competency leader, product champion, improvement mentor, front-line leader, and even visionary.

• Systems thinking: focusing on customers, bringing predictability to demand, and revamping policies that cause inefficiency
• Technical excellence: implementing low-dependency architectures, TDD, and evolutionary development processes, and promoting deeper developer expertise
• Reliable delivery: managing your biggest risks more effectively, and optimizing both workflow and schedules
• Relentless improvement: seeing problems, solving problems, sharing the knowledge
• Great people: finding and growing professionals with purpose, passion, persistence, and pride
• Aligned leaders: getting your entire leadership team on the same page

From the world’s number one experts in Lean software development, Leading Lean Software Development will be indispensable to everyone who wants to transform the promise of lean into reality—in enterprise IT and software companies alike.

在他們的突破性暢銷書《精實軟體開發》和《實施精實軟體開發》的基礎上，瑪麗和湯姆·波彭迪克的最新著作向軟體領導者和團隊成員展示了如何在整個軟體組織中推動高價值的變革，並使其持久化。他們遠遠超越了一般的實施指南，展示了如何在真實的項目、環境和公司中實現精實。

波彭迪克夫婦以關鍵概念「框架」為本書組織架構，這些未明言的心智結構塑造了我們的觀點，並以我們很少注意到的方式控制著我們的行為。對於軟體領導者和團隊成員來說，某些框架導致長期失敗，而其他框架則為成功奠定了堅實基礎。作者們借鑒了數十年的經驗，提出了24個框架，為領導精實軟體開發提供了一個一致、完整的框架。您將發現作為能力領導者、產品冠軍、改進導師、一線領導者甚至是願景領袖的強大新方法。
