This week we dive into the first 3 chapters of Extreme Programming Explained by Kent Beck (amazon).

While XP is not the software development methodology that everyone is talking about these days, its practices have become pervasive in our industry. Through reading this book I've started to think that we aim for these practices not for their inherent value but because of the values that lead to them.

• DevOps Culture
• Westrum’s Organizational Model in Technology Organizations
• Accelerate

I hope you'll check out the live discussion for these chapters on Twitch Thursday, June, 3rd at 7 pm eastern.
