Before Agile boards, DevOps pipelines, cloud dashboards, and AI-driven delivery, software organizations depended on structure, documentation, reviews, configuration control, disciplined testing, and clear accountability.
Those principles are not obsolete. They are often the missing foundation beneath modern delivery problems.
Feng Shui for Intelligent Process Improvement restores a practical, people-centered approach to bringing clarity, balance, and order to software development.
BALANCE BEFORE ACCELERATION
Using the metaphor of Feng Shui, this restored legacy edition examines how people, processes, information, controls, and technology must work in balance.
When one part of the system becomes disconnected from the others, organizations experience rework, confusion, inconsistent quality, weak accountability, and delivery risk. Intelligent Process Improvement helps teams recognize those imbalances and restore effective flow.

A BRIDGE BETWEEN DELIVERY ERAS
This edition includes two tools that connect legacy process discipline with modern improvement:
-
The Legacy IPI Operating Compass
-
The CMMI Translation Bridge
Together, they help readers interpret established software-engineering principles through a contemporary Process Intelligence lens.
WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR
-
Software and systems professionals
-
Quality assurance and testing leaders
-
Process-improvement practitioners
-
Government and regulated-industry teams
-

WHY IT MATTERS NOW
This book is not an argument for returning to the past. It is a reminder that speed without structure creates faster confusion, and automation without process understanding scales existing weaknesses.
Modern tools may change how work is performed. The need for clarity, control, balance, and continuous improvement remains.
Process Before Technology.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
