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.
