Description

This book helps participants in agile software development environments learn to become leaders.

Facilitative leaders should be at every level of the organization, from individual contributor to informal team leader to managers of all stripes -- it takes much focus and intentionality from senior organizational leaders, who have special obligations in creating successful lean and agile development environments.

But, beyond the principles of facilitative leadership for agility, People over Process provides tips and demonstrative scenes for the more important and common software meetings: architecture simulations, project planning, team configurations, retrospectives, and more.

The author fully illustrates the principles and shares proven techniques for the most important leadership events in agile projects.

While this book focuses on facilitating extraordinarily well-prepared meetings, it serves as a metaphor for leadership more broadly.

The leader’s obligation to help their team make rigorous fact-based decisions; to gain broad input and have participants aligned on the outcomes and next steps; and to do so in an efficient way that respects the time of the participants is as relevant to every-day leadership activity as it is to conducting meetings. The author mixes background and explanation with demonstration -- in this case, the story of an agile project at the fictitious Pacifica Bank.

The scenario constructed at Pacifica illustrates the concepts of effective leadership and productive workplace environments.

The book concentrates on the flow of software from understanding what is needed through design, development, testing, and deployment.

Essentially, the author provides a simple and powerful model of leadership, examples, and tips.

This is not a cookbook on how to lead -- It is a set of principles and examples.

All leaders must find their own way for their team, their organization, and their unique challenges.
