Technical knowledge alone isn't enough - increase your software development income by leveling up your soft skills Early in his software developer career, John Sonmez discovered that technical knowledge alone isn't enough to break through to the next income level - developers need "soft skills" like the ability to learn new technologies just in time, communicate clearly with management and consulting clients, negotiate a fair hourly rate, and unite teammates and coworkers in working toward a common goal.

How can we apply technology to drive business value? For years we've been told that the performance of software delivery teams doesn't matter - that it can't provide a competitive advantage to our companies. Through four years of groundbreaking research to include data collected from the State of DevOps reports conducted with Puppet, Dr. Nicole Forsgren, Jez Humble, and Gene Kim set out to find a way to measure software delivery performance - and what drives it - using rigorous statistical methods. This book presents both the findings and the science behind that research, making the information accessible for listeners to apply in their own organizations.

Their story takes us through a maze of dead ends and exhilarating breakthroughs as they and their colleagues wrestle not only with the abstraction of code but with the unpredictability of human behavior, especially their own. Along the way, we encounter black holes, turtles, snakes, dragons, axe-sharpening, and yak-shaving - and take a guided tour through the theories and methods, both brilliant and misguided, that litter the history of software development, from the famous "mythical man-month" to Extreme Programming.

Know what's causing application development waste so you can turn the tide. This is the audiobook your systems integrator and your application software vendor don't want you to hear. Enterprise IT (information technology) is a $3.8 trillion-per-year industry worldwide. Most of it is waste. However, the waste is hard to see, after being so marbled through all the products, processes, and guiding principles. That is what this audiobook is about. We must see, understand, and agree about the problem before we can take coordinated action to address it.

More than ever, the effective management of technology is critical for business competitiveness. For decades, technology leaders have struggled to balance agility, reliability, and security. The consequences of failure have never been greater - whether it's the healthcare.gov debacle, cardholder data breaches, or missing the boat with Big Data in the cloud. And yet, high performers using DevOps principles, such as Google, Amazon, and Netflix, are routinely and reliably deploying code into production hundreds, or even thousands, of times per day.

Publisher's Summary
Is your team agile and self-organizing?
What is your role as a leader?
Team leadership is the missing link that connects all the buzzwords you hear these days about unit testing, TDD, continuous integration, scrum, XP, and others to the real world where actual people have to learn, implement, and mainly, believe and push for this stuff to happen.
This audiobook is meant for software team leaders, architects, and anyone with a leadership role in the software business. Hear advice from real team leaders, consultants, and everyday gurus of management: Johanna Rothman, Uncle Bob Martin, Dan North, Kevlin Henney, Jurgen Appelo, Patrick Kua, and many others, each with their own little story and reason to say just one thing that matters the most to them about leading teams.
See what it'll feel like if you do things wrong, and what you can do about things that might go wrong, before they happen.

Useful information for a new team leader
Interesting content. Several chapters were written by guest authors with useful life stories on the topic. In my experience the good leaders exhibit many of the skills presented in this book.
