If you are interested in DevOps, Agile and position of IT Management on this new agile world a Seat at the Table is a must read
a few Quotes I really like
Agile thinking simply says that we should empower small teams to inspect and adapt rather than stick to a plan. Lean thinking gives that small team ways to speed up its inspecting and adapting process to maximize its impact. Continuous Delivery and DevOps place the entire value stream in the hands of that small team so that it can “optimize the whole” (a term of art in Lean thinking) and be empowered as a team to own the entire value delivery process.
― Mark Schwartz, A Seat at the Table: IT Leadership in the Age of Agility
a way, the Agile community is suffering from the same insecurity as the CIO community. While CIOs feel that they need to justify their existence and claim a seat at the table, the Agile community is stuck on the idea that it has no place until dramatic cultural and organizational changes happen.
Mark Schwartz, A Seat at the Table: IT Leadership in the Age of Agility
DevOps simply adds the idea that small, cross-functional teams should own the entire delivery process from concept through user feedback and production monitoring.
