Changing Software Development: Learning to Become Agile (Paperback)

Changing Software Development explains why software development is an exercise in change management and organizational intelligence.  An underlying belief is that change is learning and learning creates knowledge.  By blending the theory of knowledge management, developers and managers will gain the tools to enhance learning and change to accommodate new innovative approaches such as agile and lean computing.

Changing Software Development is peppered with practical advice and case studies to explain how and why knowledge, learning and change are important in the development process.  Today, managers are pre-occupied with knowledge management, organization learning and change management; while software developers are often ignorant of the bigger issues embedded in their work.  This innovative book bridges this divide by linking the software world of technology and processes to the business world of knowledge, learning and change.

《改變軟體開發》解釋了為什麼軟體開發是一個變革管理和組織智能的過程。其中一個基本信念是，變革就是學習，而學習創造知識。通過結合知識管理理論，開發人員和管理人員將獲得增強學習和變革的工具，以適應敏捷和精益計算等新的創新方法。

《改變軟體開發》中穿插著實用的建議和案例研究，以解釋為什麼知識、學習和變革在開發過程中非常重要。如今，管理人員對知識管理、組織學習和變革管理非常關注，而軟體開發人員往往對他們工作中蘊含的更大問題一無所知。這本創新的書籍通過將技術和流程的軟體世界與知識、學習和變革的商業世界聯繫起來，彌合了這一鴻溝。
