Michael Coté's "Monolithic Transformation" is a guide for large organizations seeking digital transformation through DevOps, Agile, and cloud platforms. The book emphasizes the need for small-batch thinking, user-centric design, and a shift from functional to product teams. It provides a playbook for leaders on establishing a vision, fostering a culture of change, and building a business case for transformation. The text also underscores the importance of internal marketing, tracking improvement with metrics, and addressing compliance in the context of this shift. The author advocates for using a cloud platform and building an automated build pipeline to increase the speed and frequency of software delivery. The central message is that leadership must take ownership of organizational change, and treat culture as programmable, in order to become a successful, software-driven enterprise.
