Need to fix or improve product development?
To better solve customer problems, be more productive, pivot more easily?
You might have already tried what the industry has to offer - Agile frameworks, Big Tech practices, team empowerment, modern tools - but real improvement has been limited, slow, or unsustainable.
This book is for you. In it, you'll discover:
- A complete picture of what it takes to make meaningful, efficient, and sustainable improvement
- 10 sequential, incremental, and holistic strategies to optimize value delivery
- How to implement these strategies in your organization, whether it's product-oriented or project-oriented, traditional or agile or hybrid, single-team or scaled
- An easy, process-agnostic, and nontechnical assessment that will show you which strategies to use now
To help you apply everything in your context, the book also includes:
- Dozens of real-life examples and a complete case study
- Plain-language advice on people-first leadership, mindset, and systems thinking
- Group discussion questions for leaders
- Downloadable summaries and self-assessment questionnaires
