Unlocking Agile's Missed Potential

This book makes the case that the potential of Agile development in software product management was lost because feature-based Waterfall planning forces engineering into so-called "hybrid" approaches that don't support basic tenets of Agile development. A new Agile planning process based on value flow optimization can unleash Agile, taking companies into a new era of business agility and financial predictability. The author introduces a practical way to unify Agile practices across the product development life cycle, from ideation through deployment. This holistic perspective facilitates collaboration and teamwork among product management, engineering, and project management to finally realize the promises of Agile development.

這本書提出了一個觀點，即敏捷開發在軟體產品管理中的潛力被基於功能的瀑布計劃所浪費，因為這種計劃迫使工程師採用所謂的“混合”方法，這些方法不支持敏捷開發的基本原則。一個基於價值流優化的新敏捷計劃流程可以釋放敏捷的力量，將公司帶入一個新的業務敏捷和財務可預測性的時代。作者介紹了一種實用的方法，可以在產品開發生命周期的各個階段，從構思到部署，統一敏捷實踐。這種整體的觀點有助於產品管理、工程和項目管理之間的協作和團隊合作，最終實現敏捷開發的承諾。
