Lean-Agile Software Development: Achieving Enterprise Agility

Very lucidly explains the Lean-agile software development nick-knacks mostly about the Lean portfolio management concepts.

good book completely satisfied with this

I really likes the linear approach to the topic with meaty sections on lean practices. Once you are comfortable with Scum, read this to make it better.

This book is one that is recommended by the Project Management Institute (PMI) to read for understanding of agile software development and to prepare for the PMI Agile Project Manager certification. It provides valuable information on agile development techniques. While not every technique may apply to every development team, some can and will. Good reference source.

Skip all advice about Scrum as this author does not understand it very well. Substitute product owner where you see produce champion and advice is good. Product owner serves one product not just one team. Product owner may have team to assist as product champion has demoted product owners to serve them in this text. With this fix, the book is quite insightful

Here is my top 5 list of books on process and leadership: "Out of the Crisis" by W. Edwards Deming, "The Toyota Way: 14 Management Principals" by Jeffery K. Liker, "The Goal" and "Critical Chain" both by Eliyahu M. Goldratt, and this book "Lean-Agile Software Development: Achieving Enterprise Agility" by Alan Shalloway. Together these books lay out a set of principals that apply seamlessly to almost any process and/or project.The only reason that Alan's book is listed last is because its focus is more specialized towards the process of delivering software.

This book has excellent guidelines on why lean thanking is better than agile and provides practical examples. Some concepts seem to beA bit theoretical but the principles and explanation are very good. More examples on visual tools would really help. Loved the concept on reducing waste and cycle time.
