Beschreibungen

<p>Over the last decade, Lean-Agile principles have become the standard methodology by which product and technology teams operate. However, Lean-Agile was written for small companies seeking new markets to buy their innovative software products, not for an average corporation with a catalogue of existing software products that must be maintained and rebuilt. The typical tech-enabled business isn't a lean startup; it's a chunky corporate. This book offers an alternative software development methodology perfectly suited for chunky corporate product management.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>You’ll quickly find out how individual players in the corporate organization impact business performance. You’ll follow the story of Blake, a well-meaning but ultimately naive, CEO of a fictional company called Acme Tech. As he and Acme struggle to maintain business performance, it becomes apparent how embedded and complex his challenges are.&nbsp; Lean-Agile principles are regularly misapplied in the corporate environment, causing tension, missed deadlines, and inefficient working practices.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>You’ll see that managing software transformation at a large, mature business requires a new set of tools. Popular development methodologies are not well-suited for the replatforming exercises that chunky corporates inevitably face. This book helps product and technology leaders navigate software development projects at organizations grappling with the constraints of investor ownership.  &nbsp;</p>

<p>Chunky corporates have a lot going for them: <em>The Lean-Agile Dilemma</em> reveals that, when managed well, they have the potential to be safe havens in a relentlessly unstable world.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>You will:&nbsp;</p>

<ul>
<li>Understand how replatforming differs from new product development&nbsp;</li>
<li>Learn how to manage existing data when updating or building new software&nbsp;</li>
<li>Gain tools to prioritize items in your overstuffed product roadmap</li>
</ul>

"I feel like I am reading my own story in many of these chapters and have the scars to prove it. It is very engaging from both a senior leadership perspective and especially useful to those people directly involved in delivering platform change." - Hugh Cox, Chief Information Officer<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;"It's brilliant, and I wish I had read it years ago. Software business senior leadership should read this." - Marianne Rabanal, Product Delivery Director</p>
