Lean Enterprise: How High Performance Organizations Innovate at Scale (Lean (O’Reilly)) 1st Edition by Jez Humble (PDF)

Description

How well does your organization respond to changing market conditions, customer needs, and emerging technologies when building software-based products? This practical guide presents Lean and Agile principles and patterns to help you move fast at scale—and demonstrates why and how to apply these methodologies throughout your organization, rather than with just one department or team.Through case studies, you’ll learn how successful enterprises have rethought everything from governance and financial management to systems architecture and organizational culture in the pursuit of radically improved performance. Adopting Lean will take time and commitment, but it’s vital for harnessing the cultural and technical forces that are accelerating the rate of innovation.Discover how Lean focuses on people and teamwork at every level, in contrast to traditional management practicesApproach problem-solving experimentally, by exploring solutions, testing assumptions, and getting feedback from real usersLead and manage large-scale programs in a way that empowers employees, increases the speed and quality of delivery, and lowers costsLearn how to implement ideas from the DevOps and Lean Startup movements even in complex, regulated environments

Editorial Reviews: Review “This book is Reengineering the Corporation for the digital age. It is destined to be the classic, authoritative reference for how organizations plan, organize, implement, and measure their work. Lean Enterprise describes how organizations can win in the marketplace while harnessing and developing the capabilities of employees. Any business leader who cares about creating competitive advantage through technology and building a culture of innovation needs to read this book.”- Gene Kim, co-author of The Phoenix Project, founder and former CTO of Tripwire, Inc.”This book is a godsend for anyone who’s tried to change their organization and heard: ‘It’s OK for the little guy, but we’re too big/regulated/complex to work like that here.’ Lean Enterprise provides a pragmatic toolkit of strategies and practices for establishing high performing organizations. It should be required reading for every executive who understands that we’re all in the technology business now.”- Stephen Foreshew-Cain, COO, UK Government Digital Service”To thrive in the digital world, transformation must be more than technology driven–everyone within the organization must collectively work together to adapt. This book provides an essential guide for all leaders to change the way they deliver value to customers.”- Matt Pancino, CEO, Suncorp Business Services”This book integrates into a compelling narrative the best current thinking about how to create great software-intensive products and services. The approach in this book is both challenging and disciplined, and some organizations will be unable to imagine following this path. But those who make the journey will find it impossible to imagine ever going back–and if they happen to be a competitor, they are well positioned to steal both your market and your people. Ignore this book at your own risk.”- Mary Poppendieck, co-author of The Lean Mindset and the Lean Software Development series”This is the book I’ve been waiting for–one that takes on the hardest questions in bringing Lean approaches to the enterprise. The authors provide solutions that are valuable even in low trust environments.”- Mark A.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I’ve managed to see most of the antipatterns this book advocates against. I now feel like I have a guide to better strategies to deploy next time I see them and have a chance to influence the direction of product and organizational patterns.I cannot think of a book that I have taken more highlights out of.

⭐Lean start-up thinking applied to Enterprise IT. An essential read for anyone interested in Digital Transformation and why culture re-engineering matters as much as technology deployment. Jaz Humble makes a convincing case how IT becomes an integral part of the value chain rather than a cost centre. If not IT-driven any organisation will lose its ability adapt to accelerating change, and hence lose its competitiveness. Highly recommended.

⭐Awesome. Does a great job of tying together several books / concepts that have been brought out over the last few years (

⭐,

⭐,

⭐to name a few). If you’ve wondered how some of these concepts work together at an enterprise level, then this book does an amazing job of describing that

⭐It is a very goof guide for implementing change in an IT organization towards a Lean Enterprise. Give some interesting example of companies that made this change. It’s a good complement to the book Inspired by Martin Cagan and the Eric Ries’ books.

⭐I recommend this book for IT, and the pursuit of excellence in consulting..Well structured and well written… processes are valid on many fronts!

⭐Really liked this book, gave me ideas and inspiration for my work.Especially liked the Improvement Kata approach on enterprise/program level. Miss this part in the frameworks for scaling agile. “Implementing an enterprise-level continuous improvement process is a prerequisite for any large-scale transformation effort”.The need for leadership support in the three different horizons in the portfolio is also interesting. What happens when leadership focus should be in the third horizon but actually is in the first?

⭐Topical coverage is a mile wide but inch deep — about right for this format and audience.

⭐I like very much

⭐ The government should fly planes over London dropping this book onto the streets.A heart lifting guide to transforming Victorian, bureaucratic, hierarchical organisations into innovative, producers of digital experiences that delight their customers and empower the workforce.A practical guide covering culture, history of Lean, the three horizons of a product, validation and MVP, measurements, feedback loops, flow and cycle time, innovation accounting, analytics, tearing down silos, impact mapping, continuous improvement, continuous integration, test automation, kanban, cost of delay, blue-green deployment, feature flags, lean UX, safe cultures, a/b testing, the list goes on and on.Full of anecdotes and evidence, and levels wonderful criticism at the incumbent graying behemoths with their pathological cultures, so that at least when you fail to make dent you can reap some sense of schadenfreude from their inevitable bankruptcy, or bail out.

⭐Thoroughly explained the underpinning theories that, in many cases, are only partially implemented in reality.As someone dealing with the legacy environment on a daily basis, I would have hoped for some guidance on how this paradigm can integrate with what will necessarily exist in parallel for many years.But a great insight into the concepts of the new none the less

⭐Intro is perhaps not the right word, it’s far too detailed for that. I feel more like I’ve been studying for an MBA in Lean led by some excellent professors. What that should tell you is that this is not an easy read simply because there’s so much content and knowledge to get your head round. It’s also an excellent overview of the other lean literature that’s around. I found the need to frequently take notes just not to forget the latest nugget I’d read.

⭐Articulate book that shares many thoughts on how to use technology (people, suppliers, processes and the fun stuff) based on agile and lean such that your organisation and customers benefit. Best part is the manner it respectfully treats the alliance between Operations, ITIL and Dev with the business to create this mix iteratively over time. If you are a leader or manager, this book has a section to help with excellent examples to aid in the journey.

⭐If you manage software teams (or IT teams) in any environment (more than 5 people) you *need* this book. This is a great, slightly technical review of how software projects should be managed processes to use (such as CI/CD – which every team should be using anyway) and some incredible references..Well worth reading.
