Agile books by Jay


An Agile Playbook

A few companies have successfully navigated the uncertainty of new technologies. The reward is that they have dominated the technology revolution. Above all, these successful technology companies have designed for scalability.
Many organisations struggle in “scaling out of chaos” – moving from start-up to repeatable delivery at sustainable pace. The answers don’t come from blindly applying frameworks.
This playbook contains a set of strategies and good practices. These are practical learnings built from experience of helping organisations. As with a successful sports team, you can choose the right plays and use them to best advantage.


Uncovering better ways … by doing it and helping others do it

Manifesto for Agile Software Development

The Power of Agile Teams

There is a power when a group of people come together with a purpose and form a team. This is a book for anyone working with or in teams. It is particularly aimed at those considering adopting a more Agile way of working.

In this book, Jay looks at how to create high-performing teams using the ideas of Lean, Agile and the “New Game”. This book is not about the tools and rules of Agile development. It is about teams, and why they are important. The book looks at key ideas, their benefits and potential pitfalls. What can we learn about what a team is, how teams develop products and how we lead them?

The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
