Leading DevOps

I just completed this book. I think it is a really good book which covers a whole lot of software development. This book could possibly be the best book for first time project managers. I believe many of the PMs understand PMM but do not understand software development. This book gives a view of each project role. The only one that it does not cover is Business Analyst or requirements documentation. It does cover QC, development and of course PMs. It gives a PM a view into development processes like TDD, CI and estimation. Many PMs that are new to SD can read this book and get a great start to manager an SD project. If you are a PM or know some, read this book. http://www.jrothman.com/

Def: Lack of knowledge http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ignorant I do not say this to be rude but to bring out a point. As a leader you should educate customers. Many people know and understand waterfall. It is easy and structured but many people know it really does not work. As leaders we have to be able to articulate other development methodologies not because we know we can deliver better but for the benefit of the customers. Their ROI is much lower on waterfall than agile processes. They are going to kick and scream but times change and we must evolve.
