‘The Unicorn Project’ er en opfølgning til den mest solgte titel Phoenix-projektet, som endnu engang kaster et blik på Parts Unlimited, men denne gang set ud fra en softwareudvikling. Bogen følger Maxine, en højtstående hovedudvikler og arkitekt, da hun er eksileret til Phoenix-projektet, som hævn mod venner og kolleger for at have bidraget til en løn-nedbrud. Maxine forsøger at holde hovedet koldt i dét der føles som et hjerteløs og uretfærdigt Bureaukrati, og at arbejde inden for et system, hvor ingen kan få gjort noget færdigt, uden endeløse udvalg, papirarbejde og godkendelser. En dag bliver hun kontaktet af en masse misfits, som fortæller at de vil vælte den eksisterende orden, til at befri udviklere, at bringe glæde tilbage til teknologiområdet og for at gøre muligt for virksomheden at vinde i en tid med digital forstyrrelse. Til Maxines store overraskelse bliver hun trukket ind i denne bevægelse og befinder sig til sidst som en af ​​lederne for oprøret, som sætter hende i krydset for nogle kendte og meget farlige fjender. Age of Software er kommet til syne, og en anden begivenhed med masseudryddelse nærmer sig. ‘The Unicorn Project’ handler i store træk om rebelle udviklere og forretningsførere, der arbejder sammen for at kæmpe mod tiden for at innovere, overleve og trives i en tid med hidtil uset usikkerhed ... og muligheder. Bogen giver en exceptionelt nyttig indsigt i, hvordan man forbedrer sin teknologivirksomhed på bedst mulig vis.

"This is not a biography. This is a story of discovery From the birth of modern industry, to winning WWII, to Japan's Economic Miracle, W. Edwards Deming helped shape some of the most profound moments in modern history. Deming, an American engineer and statistician, is widely recognized for his contributions to the field of quality management. But his teachings go beyond quality management; they influence not only how we work today, but also how we can continue to succeed into the future. Part business history, part biography, part journey into deep business sense, author John Willis captures the full picture of Deming's life and influence. Most importantly, it reveals the experiences that led to Deming's greatest discovery: the System of Profound Knowledge, a collection of fundamental truths that show how any system or process can be transformed into something greater. From the real-life Rosie the Riveter to a hacker writing US cybersecurity law, Deming's ingenuity and system of thinking changed how we think in the modern world. This book shows how we can take that influence and continue to apply it our own future"--

Susan Jones had been the CEO of Investments Unlimited, Inc. (IUI) for five years, a financial institution that has successfully navigated their digital transformation. She is quick on her feet and is trusted by the board. But right now-although you can't tell from her demeanor-she was panicking. Today, IUI received notice from bank regulators concerning their unsatisfactory audit and compliance practices. If they failed to address the regulators' concerns within the year, the company could go up in smoke. She didn't understand. How had her team let this happen? How had she let this happen? Over the past several years, IUI had executed a digital transformation strategy following the business accelerating principles of Agile and DevOps. By any metric they had seemingly done things right. Feedback from customers was astounding and conversion rates for new accounts was growing faster than ever. But along the way IUIs manual governance process had become inundated with friction, frustration, and failure for the teams attempting to deliver value for their organizations. Now, it's all hands on deck for a cross-functional team of executives and engineers to develop a modern automated governance process that satisfies regulators without slowing the company's ability to meet customer demands and compete in the market.In the vein of bestselling titles The Phoenix Project and The Unicorn Project, Investments Unlimited helps organizations radically rethink how they handle audit, compliance, and security for their software systems. By introducing concepts, tools, and ideas to reimagine governance, this book catalyzes a more humane way to enable high-velocity software delivery that inspires trust and is inherently more secure.

Do you really understand what business value is? Information technology can and should deliver business value. But the Agile literature has paid scant attention to what business value means-and how to know whether or not you are delivering it. This problem becomes ever more critical as you push value delivery toward autonomous teams and away from requirements "e;tossed over the wall"e; by business stakeholders. An empowered team needs to understand its goal!Playful and thought-provoking, The Art of Business Value explores what business value means, why it matters, and how it should affect your software development and delivery practices. More than any other IT delivery approach, DevOps (and Agile thinking in general) makes business value a central concern. This book examines the role of business value in software and makes a compelling case for why a clear understanding of business value will change the way you deliver software.This book will make you think deeply about not only what it means to deliver value but also the relationship of the IT organization to the rest of the enterprise. It will give you the language to discuss value with the business, methods to cut through bureaucracy, and strategies for incorporating Agile teams and culture into the enterprise. Most of all, this book will startle you into new ways of thinking about the cutting-edge of Agile practice and where it may lead.
