Synopsis

Technology is moving faster than ever, and today's business leaders need the ability to experiment and maximize outcomes from their technology investment. An effective engineering function is critical and must fully align with business goals. Well architected systems evolve quickly, perform well and keep maintenance costs down. The book will offer a solution to help businesses align engineering functions with business goals. It will be structured using the Wardley Strategy Cycle and has Wardley maps throughout to illustrate all the key concepts. It will delve deeply into a mindset that allows for key accelerators such as Developer Experience, team enablement, leadership alignment, and out-of-the-box patterns that will propel organizations. Finally, readers will explore the leadership approach needed to guide the evolution and movement of technology, people, and the markets, providing the foundations for a strong narrative, transparency, and fast feedback loops and alignment. These three components will show how a company can exploit new and novel practices.
