Rolling Rocks Downhill: The Fastest, Easiest, and Most Entertaining Way to Learn Agile and Lean

It's comforting to hear there is a way out. Even dealing with the executives' impression of the teams' capability level; it's comforting to hear this happens elsewhere.

Absolutely! This book was a great story about a company that is so similar to the one I'm working that is undergoing an agile transition.

It's agile but doesn't scream agile at you along with Clarke's sense of humor and love for bacon is wonderful. The story was told in a way that allows me in my agile transition to take a different look at how everything is working, from the scrum teams to the executives within the organization.

I have not listened to any other of Paul's performances. He was good an being an American I appreciate the UK accent!

The ending, how everything pulled together in the big moment with the CEO.

Clarke is an amazing author and his book is a great resource for understanding what and how agile works in a real world setting of an organization (which is oddly close to one that I work in!).

Fantastic agile novel.

I loved the lady who was technically Steve's boss. Confident and fearless.

Paul has a great voice, he made the story more captivating.

Great story! Great information that will surely help me with my first agile-ish project that has a very short time frame!

I liked the story-telling nature of the book. It is a novel about how to change to an agile mindset from a waterfall mindset. The main character learns the do's and dont's from a coach, which turns out to be a great way of getting some theory into a novel. The characters are realistic, somewhat stereotyped, but I think the stereotyping is actually beneficial to the book. The clear personalities helped me to transfer the setting to my own working environment.

The only complaint I have is that I think parts of the book remain too shallow for its audience. For example when the theory of constraints is introduced, it hardly gets more in depth than what intuition will teach you in the first place (tackle bottlenecks first).

It a great book with real life scenarios. The story format makes it much easier to retain the information. Tool plenty of tools for my tool box.

The Phoenix Project and The Goal explain the topics covered in this book in more depth and more relevant ways.

This book is smart, witty, exceptionally helpful and really easy to listen to. Highly recommended!

Fictional case study of a project deployment in action: I wasn't crazy about the narrator's voice but I did pick up a few ideas to apply to my own work. Worth the listen

if you've read the goal or the phoenix project nothing new here in terms of material. was a pleasant listen though.
