Sie zeigen konkret, wie erfolgreiche Unternehmen Lean-Startup- und DevOps-Methoden auf ihre Herausforderungen anwenden können. Das Buch bietet zahlreiche Fallstudien und eine Fülle von Strategien und Methoden, die für Vorstandsmitglieder, Geschäftsführer, Abteilungsleiter und Produktmanager von Interesse sind. Es liefert praktische Anleitungen zur Entwicklung und Validierung von Produkten und Geschäftsmodellen mit echtem Kundennutzen, zur Messung und Bewertung von Investitionsrisiken und zur Entfaltung des Potenzials von Teams durch Visionen und Handlungsspielräume. Zudem wird erläutert, wie Prozesse kontinuierlich verbessert, Softwareentwicklung beschleunigt und Innovation als Teil des Portfolios gestärkt werden kann. Die Autoren betonen die Notwendigkeit, Mitarbeiter in umfassenden Programmen zu fördern, während Qualität und Geschwindigkeit der Produktauslieferung erhöht und Kosten gesenkt werden.

Does technology actually matter? And how can we apply technology to drive business value? For years, we've been told that the performance of software delivery teams doesn't matter-that it can't provide a competitive advantage to our companies. Through four years of groundbreaking research, Dr. Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim set out to find a way to measure software delivery performance-and what drives it-using rigorous statistical methods. This book presents both the findings and the science behind that research. Readers will discover how to measure the performance of their teams, and what capabilities they should invest in to drive higher performance.

It is 1872.Annie Miller and the valiant members of the Peregrine Estate did all they could in Chicago to try and stop the Society of Prometheus from unleashing their terrible gods—The Nine—into our world. While they managed to save Carson Ptolemy from the occult society’s ritualistic sacrifice, they failed to stop the ritual entirely. And thus, the ritual half-completed, an unknowable celestial body has set itself over the Sun, casting it into perpetual eclipse, throwing the world deeper into the shuddering cold and blackness of an unending, pestilential winter.The sunless world brings to bear the great and terrible armies of The Red Kingdom, the hidden body of vampires who have decided that the eclipse is heralding their time to rise in full force and conqueror. The kingdom’s sovereign monarch, and master of all vampires, Kristian, brings all his strength to bear out of the Astolat Mountain range in Colorado, beginning a war between humanity and vampires.Annie and Carson, their lives now fully knotted together as members of the Peregrine Society and dear friends, work together with their allies to strike back against the vampiric horde, all while striving to set the world right in an epic conclusion of C.S. Humble’s That Light Sublime trilogy.
