Publisher's Summary:

Software is becoming more and more important across a broad range of industries, yet most technology executives struggle to deliver software improvements their businesses require.

Leading-edge companies like Amazon and Google are applying DevOps and Agile principles to deliver large software projects faster than anyone thought possible. But most executives don't understand how to transform their current legacy systems and processes to scale these principles across their organizations.

Leading the Transformation is executive guide, providing a clear framework for improving development and delivery. Instead of the traditional Agile and DevOps approaches that focus on improving the effectiveness of teams, this book targets the coordination of work across teams in large organizations - an improvement that executives are uniquely positioned to lead.

Members Reviews:

Fantastic case study, involving a real product company (HP)

This is the _perfect_ book to share with executive sponsors and stakeholders. It is short (114 pages), but it covers the issues well - including technical issues, and makes the point that leadership cannot "manage by metrics" - they need to understand the technical issues, at least at a high level. A great case study because HP has both server software and embedded software - i.e., products - this is not just a story of websites.

... DevOps and CI/CD concepts in a manner that is easy to consume

Very clear and concise book that covers a lot of DevOps and CI/CD concepts in a manner that is easy to consume. A good book to pair with Lean Enterprise and the DevOps Hnadbook.

Magnificent

A game plan to maximize business impact through modernizing engineering systems. Reading Leading the Transformation was like reading our own play book used at Microsoft. If big companies applied these techniques it would be revolutionary to the software industry. Forcing quality with a single branch and immediate integration on the trunk is a difficult and necessary step. In addition running thousands of automated tests across a team of hundreds takes specialized infrastructure and processes. Good stuff..

Pretty good, very repetitive

This was a goo case study of how HP home printer firmware division rolled out agile. It was also very repetitive.

Straightforward

Quick and simple read for executives who need to understand the importance of continuous improvement. I highly recommend it. Enjoy!
