By some estimates, knowledge workers outnumber all other workers in
North America alone by a four to one margin. Knowledge work and
knowledge workers vary with each profession, depending on the
industry- from software developers to engineers, architects to
pharmaceutical researchers, and so forth. They are usually
responsible for exploring and creating ideas, new products, new
designs or perhaps new models for doing business to help their
organization achieve or maintain a competitive advantage. As much
of this type of work is intangible, productivity is a mystery to
most business executives, managers and team leaders.This unique
reference shows how to lead knowledge workers, manage knowledge
work and build a hyper-productive knowledge work organization, by
taming and managing the four flows of organizational performance
(psychology, information, work and finance) to produce spectacular
operational and financial throughput results. Inspired by his
experience and knowledge gained at Borland International, where a
hyper-productive level of performance was achieved resulting in the
most productive software project ever documented, author Steve
Tendon devised TameFlow. TameFlow is an approach that can be
superimposed on any preexisting process, method, and practice to
enable performance improvement by several orders of magnitude and a
state of hyper-productivity. It is adaptable to nearly every
industry, and can be applied to any knowledge work domain or
organization that generates business value through knowledge.
TameFlow blends and merges different ideas from a variety of
schools of thought. It is founded in pattern theory and
organizational performance patterns which are used to analyze and
decompose processes, methodologies, and management practices into
constituent parts to observe productivity patterns, and then they
are recombined in new configurations to enable hyper-productive
levels of performance. In this volume , the TameFlow approach is
explained within the context of knowledge work performed in a
software development organization. Mr. Tendon teams up with author,
Wolfram Muller, a thought-leader and expert in Critical Chain and
Advanced Agile Project Management to illustrate its application to
Scrum, the most widely used Agile software project management
framework, and to Kanban, a method used for knowledge work with an
emphasis on just-in-time delivery and change management.
