In the age of software, will your business dominate and maintain relevance? Or will it become a digital relic?

As tech giants and startups disrupt every market, those who master large-scale software delivery will define the economic landscape of the 21st century, just as the masters of mass production defined the landscape in the 20th. Unfortunately, business and technology leaders are woefully ill-equipped to solve the problems posed by digital transformation. At the current rate of disruption, half of the S&P 500 companies will be replaced in the next 10 years. A new approach is needed.

In Project to Product, value stream network pioneer and technology business leader Dr. Mik Kersten introduces the Flow Framework - a new way of seeing, measuring, and managing software delivery. The Flow Framework will enable your company's evolution from project-oriented dinosaur to product-centric innovator that thrives in the age of software. If you're driving your organization's transformation at any level, this is the audiobook for you.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

It is not hard to find blog posts and articles that chronicle failed digital transformations. This book explains why there seem to be so many examples. To the extent it can, the book also does a reasonable job in pointing the way. But it also makes the point that it is culture, processes and people all aligning to the way the business accrues value that will allow you to possibly transfer from project to product. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it ... successfully. It is not easy.

easy novel to read. concepts made simple to understand. only negative with audible is not having the charts, graphs, etc to reference. looked forward to part 3 from nearly the beginning.

Fantastic book!

I especially like the first half of the book, excellent management perspective. Direct, software projects must be treated as software products. A must read/listen for project managers in a transformation environment.

The conclusions and considerations in this book emphasize the wake up call to change the way we think and approach software development. I am inspired to better understand and apply these models and concepts and apply them to our goals, as our company starts the pivot to align further with tools, business and technology.

Timely and relevant review of concepts and practical implications of the flow model in modern software development.

I like the approach to addingvalue to the big picture (product) instead of putting up good numbers in each department. The story is ultimately selling a tool to integrate multiple tools but the information is still good.

Very good info on vale-add and flow

My company is making this move, and leadership isn't communicating well. This book helped to calm me down by seeing that things are going in the right direction, even if the change management isn't being handled well, or at all.

The most important thing to remember that there's very few leaders who do change well, and they'll get components right. Just try to judge things stoically, pragmatically and holistically.

This book was recommended by several SAFe trainings I’ve been part of… it was decent, but very heavyweight. It didn’t flow well for me. I like the concepts the author is trying to communicate, but nothing about it was eye opening in the ways some other IT Revolution books have been in the past. Maybe I just read too much 😂

Average content for an experienced agilist

The subject matter should concern anybody interested in how to link DevOps to the value generation in your business. Overall the author does a great job of advocating for the Flow Framework though details of how to implement in a large Enterprise are left out. The side-story of the authors visit to the Leipzig BMW plant and the insights gained from that contains more than a little echo of The Phoenix Project (and by implication, The Goal) and for those inspired by that book, this is one more piece of the puzzle on how business delivery needs to transform in the age of software.
However, the fact that the additional material referenced by the narrator is missing from the Audible version greatly reduces the value of the audio version.

Great book but missing the additional PDF material

Very interesting! Well worth listening to. Provides a different perspective on how to successfully integrate business and IT in the era of software

Very useful!
