About this listen

As companies evolve to adopt, integrate, and leverage software as the defining element of their success in the 21st century, a rash of processes and methodologies are vying for their product teams' attention. In the worst of cases, each discipline on these teams - product management, design, and software engineering - learn a different model. This short, tactical book reconciles the perceived differences in Lean Startup, Design Thinking, and Agile software development by focusing not on rituals and practices but on the values that underpin all three methods.

Great understanding of how teams use the methodologies and how they came about in the world. This would be ideal reading for a junior wanting to know 'What does he/she mean. when talking about Agile?"

Great overview of the methodologies.

This introduces the problem in a clear and concise fashion, without over complicating the core issue. This allows the reader to keep their own context in mind, and then articulate their own response. Consumed in a lunch hour, which was perfect!
