Superficial content and dull narration
I had high hopes for this book, with a strong desire to learn mostly about Six Sigma. Since I’m already a long-time agile practitioner the other parts of the book we’re less interesting.
Unfortunately, anyone listening to this book is going to have to be incredibly inquisitive and interested in the subject matter, because the narration is so extremely dull that requires great dedication to continue to listen.
When you couple that with the not infrequent grammatical errors, and even mispronunciation of words which gives them completely different meanings (for example at one point the narrator says casual, instead of causal) The book overall just feels low value.
Having said that, it is cheap, and it’s a multi pack book, so I did not expect it to be detailed, knowing that if I got a summary at least I could then pursue further reading if the subject matter resonated with me.
I guess for me at least it’s served the desired purpose, but I cannot rate it highly I’m afraid.

really was an interesting listen with good high-level info BUT can someone please add chapter titles instead of just Chapter 1, chapter 2. its impossible to skip back to interesting segments unless you bookmark and add notes to each. The first 4 chapters appear to be just the index. would make the book so much better with this one small update!

It provides a fabulous summary
The book is a bit of a metric cookbook instead of a book explaining why a metric is really important. The business manager really need to understand the drivers of their business and stay informed of how their company is managing the drivers -- this is what separates successful companies from the rest.

Terrible narration
I was only able to listen to about 10 minutes of this audiobook. Very disappointing. I think the content would have been good. I also skipped the 14 minute reading of the table of contents. It almost sounded like text to voice conversion rather than a human being reading the book. Very hard to listen to especially for this content.

After a lengthy Dubliner how you can't take excerpts of the book or summarize it, the author summarizes and takes excerpts from Jeffrey Ries' books on the same topics but gets his name wrong (He calls him Eric).
