Agile Constraints Management

Description

Welcome to the Leanpub Launch video for Agile Constraints Management: Agile, Constraints Management and Throughput Economics for Collaborative Knowledge-Work and Software Engineering Management https://leanpub.com/acm by Steve Tendon! 0:00 Steve Tendon introduces himself as creator of the TameFlow approach and overviews the book 0:46 How Agile Constraints Management fills the gap left by his previous TameFlow books 1:35 The challenge of bridging Agile and Theory of Constraints audiences without losing either 3:12 Alexandrian patterns, pattern languages, and the Unity of Purpose pattern 5:29 How pattern language became the engine for designing and creating TameFlow 6:18 The aha moment: how the system-wide constraint becomes the focal point for Unity of Purpose 7:58 Using the Evaporating Cloud conflict-resolution technique to reconcile Agile and TOC 9:34 The CFO problem: why Agile improvements rarely translate into bottom-line financial results 11:09 Applying the SOTSOG process to connect Agile operations to Throughput Economics 12:44 How economic decision-making criteria benefit both executives and software engineering teams About the Book Why do millions invested in Agile fail to translate into bottom-line business performance? Agile Constraints Management addresses this critical gap by integrating the adaptive power of Agile with the laser focus of the Theory of Constraints (TOC) and the financial discipline of Throughput Economics. This book provides software engineering executives and Agile practitioners with the strategic blueprint to transform software development from an unpredictable cost center into a predictable profit engine. Inside, you will discover: Constraint Identification: Learn how to pinpoint and manage intangible, system-wide bottlenecks in large-scale collaborative knowledge work. The MOVE Construct: Master the Minimal Outcome-Value Effort to replace arbitrary timeboxes with target scopes focused strictly on business outcomes. Probabilistic Forecasting: Derive highly reliable delivery timelines using statistical flow metrics, eliminating the need for speculative developer estimates. sDBR/DBR Integration: Stabilize your work-in-process to limit volatility and enforce consistent workflow predictability. The SOTSOG Method: Apply the Standing on the Shoulders of Giants process to systematically identify and dismantle invalid industry assumptions. About the Author I accelerate business performance in collaborative knowledge-work without compromising humanity, sustainability, or quality, through patterns, mental models and emerging technologies. I am the author of "The Book of TameFlow: Theory of Constraints Applied to Knowledge-Work Management," among many others.
