Software and infrastructure only create value when they pull in the same direction as the business. This book shows IT leaders how to get there: from shaping IT strategy and the architecture roadmap to the daily discipline of IT and architecture governance, all built on a pattern-based approach that adapts to your organization rather than forcing it into a template.Grounded in established frameworks such as TOGAF, COBIT, and ITIL, it pairs solid fundamentals with numerous real-world examples — and gives growing weight to compliance and IT security, now central concerns of any IT management agenda.This English edition is based on the German standard work on the subject, fully revised in its 4th edition (late 2024). It is current with TOGAF 10 and reflects recent developments in business-oriented enterprise architecture — including the open-source tool EDGY and patterns for digital strategy — alongside the latest trends in IT risk management and cybersecurity architecture.

Product teams are shipping more than ever. Outcomes are getting harder to explain. Roadmaps promise certainty. Backlogs stay full. Delivery speeds up. Yet value lags behind effort and learning arrives too late. The Operating System of Product explores why this happens and what replaces it. It shows how product work changes when execution is no longer the bottleneck and why roles, prioritisation and feedback loops must evolve together. This is not a book about better roadmaps. It is about replacing the system that needs them.
