Fifty RF‑101 Voodoos arrived in Vietnam. Forty‑seven were shot down in a year. The pilots who survived didn't fly faster aircraft — they cycled through the OODA loop faster than the missiles chasing them. Jeff Sutherland was one of them. He went on to co‑create Scrum. Now, six decades later, he is running AI agents through daily sprints at machine speed — and this book is the playbook for how to do it without getting shot down.

Major capital projects keep missing the mark—over budget, behind schedule and under-delivering. Why? Because we’re still using delivery models designed for a different era. Rethinking Capital Project Delivery offers a bold, practical roadmap for fixing what’s broken. It introduces a new approach built on adaptive planning, intelligent systems and transparent governance. Instead of managing complexity with more layers, it shows how agentic AI and modular strategies can simplify, accelerate, and de-risk major works. This book is for executives, project leaders, and policymakers ready to move beyond outdated practices. If you know the system isn’t working—and you want to be part of the solution—this is your guide.

The Cybernetic Enterprise CTO Playbook turns strategy into execution for modern technology leaders.

Teams are producing more code than ever. Dashboards are green. And something is quietly breaking. AI coding assistants didn't break your development process; they revealed it was already fragile. Reimagine, Don't Retrofit is a field-tested argument that the software development lifecycle itself needs to be reimagined for the AI era, from governance and metrics to team roles and delivery flow.

Digitale Transformation war das Hype-Thema vor KI. Es gibt allerdings einen nicht geringen Anteil an Fach- und Führungskräften, deren Wissen darüber weiter ausbaufähig ist. Dieses Buch ist eine Einführung für alle diejenigen, die keine "digitalen Pioniere" sind, sondern wissen wollen, was aus dem Thema Digitalisierung auf sie zukommen kann und aus dem Thema KI zusätzlich auf sie zukommen wird.

A group of farm animals must redesign their pigpen after a storm destroys it. Each animal represents a common organizational role or mindset — the visionary rooster, the cautious cow, the practical pig, and the reflective goat. Guided by an unexpected newcomer — a sparrow who has seen “adaptive farms” elsewhere — they learn how to build not just a pigpen, but a smarter way of working together.

Većina problema u isporuci nije uzrokovana kodom, timom ili procesom upravljanja radom. Oni počinju uzvodno: načinom na koji zahtevi sazrevaju (ili ne sazrevaju). Ready uvodi Tok Sazrevanja Zahteva (RMF), sistem za kontrolu, razjašnjavanje i usklađivanje posla — pre nego što počne i bez menjanja vašeg frameworka. Ako vaši Sprintovi završavaju prenošenjem, doradama ili isporukom pogrešnih stvari, RMF je strukturno rešenje koje vam je nedostajalo.

A maioria dos problemas de entrega não é causada pelo código, pela equipe ou pelo processo de gestão do trabalho. Eles começam lá no início (upstream): na forma como os requisitos amadurecem (ou não). O livro Ready apresenta o Requirements Maturation Flow (RMF), um sistema para controlar, esclarecer e alinhar o trabalho — antes de começar e sem alterar seu framework. Se suas Sprints terminam com tarefas reportadas, retrabalho ou entregando algo diferente do esperado, o RMF é a solução estrutural que você estava precisando.
