Summary

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.

Sounds gamechanging but lacks details

The problem and need are convincing, but I found that it is very vague in terms of implementation for software development. It would have helped to have some examples of how this has successfully been applied to several differing software products, with enough detail to understand how it was implemented in each case.

A masterpiece on creating Business value via IT

I really enjoyed reading product to project and will highly recommend it. First, the book clearly and elaborately discuss the important of business value driven IT organisation using value stream architecture. Second, the flow system and flow metric for end to end business and technical value delivery was a game changer for me at work as it meant my team created more value for the clients. lastly, I enjoyed the use of practical case studies to driven home key and valuable lessons. It is a book that requires more than one read and running application exercises based on the concepts proposed.

Missing a chapter

The book has some great points about the metrics for product teams along with finding and showing the different types of work. where the book falls flat is the lack of case studies or strategies on aligning product teams when focusing on a business initiative.

Key book for the software age

I was lucky enough to see Mik’s presentation at DOES2019 together with the book it helped clarify something that had been at the back of mind for awhile.

If like me, you have read Kim’s Phoenix Project and realised the importance of DevOps thinking, but your business doesn’t have the catalyst for change that Parts Unlimited does - read this book.

This details why there is a catalyst for change for scores of businesses and the potential consequences for those that done.

While Mik could sometimes be accused of hyperbole with his writing style. Don’t let that put you off. Stick with this book.

My hope is that this book re-ignites the DevOps movement and takes it beyond the “tools” explosion.

Interesting concept intertwined with misconceptions about project management

Interesting item: better connect business to software value!
Pity that the author blames other approaches of ineffectivity with examples of defective implementations of those other approaches

Missing link

The missing link between agile models and business models. So many useful concepts. Narrate the next version yourself Mik?

Some great concepts, but over complicated

Some good stories, and I like focus on e2e flow, flow metrics, and ultimately busines value. This was good. However I found much of the book a bit uneasy to follow. Terms are interchanged and not consistent; and he almost applies full ok object oriented development concepts to his flow framework. Clearly it's the mind of a developer however it doesn't make the full flow framework very accessible.

Must read by anyone involved in product delivery

This is one of those books where in every chapter you can relate it to one of your previous product deliveries. Ithere’s so much to Take Away and apply to successful product delivery. Will definitely recommend it other product delivery professionals who are interested in successfully scaling delivery.
