商品描述

You need to get value from your software project. You need it "free, now, and perfect." We can't get you there, but we can help you get to "cheaper, sooner, and better." This book leads you from the desire for value down to the specific activities that help good Agile projects deliver better software sooner, and at a lower cost. Using simple sketches and a few words, the author invites you to follow his path of learning and understanding from a half century of software development and from his engagement with Agile methods from their very beginning.

The book describes software development, starting from our natural desire to get something of value. Each topic is described with a picture and a few paragraphs. You're invited to think about each topic; to take it in. You'll think about how each step into the process leads to the next. You'll begin to see why Agile methods ask for what they do, and you'll learn why a shallow implementation of Agile can lead to only limited improvement.

This is not a detailed map, nor a step-by-step set of instructions for building the perfect project. There is no map or instructions that will do that for you.

You need to build your own project, making it a bit more perfect every day. To do that effectively, you need to build up an understanding of the whole process.

This book points out the milestones on your journey of understanding the nature of software development done well. It takes you to a location, describes it briefly, and leaves you to explore and fill in your own understanding.

What You Need:

  • You'll need your Standard Issue Brain, a bit of curiosity, and a desire to build your own understanding rather than have someone else's detailed ideas poured into your head.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

你需要從你的軟體專案中獲得價值。你需要它「免費、立即、完美」。我們無法幫你達到這個目標,但我們可以幫助你達到「更便宜、更快、更好」的目標。這本書將引導你從對價值的渴望,進入到幫助良好的敏捷專案更快、更低成本地交付更好軟體的具體活動。作者用簡單的草圖和少數文字邀請你跟隨他從半個世紀的軟體開發和從敏捷方法的起點開始的學習和理解之路。

這本書描述了軟體開發,從我們對獲得價值的自然渴望開始。每個主題都用一張圖片和幾段文字來描述。你被邀請思考每個主題,吸收它。你將思考每個步驟如何引導到下一步。你將開始明白為什麼敏捷方法要求它們所要求的,並且你將學會為什麼對敏捷的膚淺實施只能帶來有限的改善。

這不是一份詳細的地圖,也不是一套建立完美專案的逐步指示。沒有地圖或指示可以替你做到這一點。

你需要建立自己的專案,每天讓它更加完美一點。為了有效地做到這一點,你需要建立對整個過程的理解。

這本書指出了你在理解良好的軟體開發本質的旅程中的里程碑。它帶你到一個地點,簡要描述它,然後讓你去探索和填補你自己的理解。

你需要的東西:
- 你需要你的標準大腦、一點好奇心,以及一個渴望建立自己的理解而不是讓別人詳細的想法灌輸到你腦中的慾望。
