  1. Platform Strategy
    Innovation Through Harmonization
    Gregor Hohpe

    Developer platforms promise to rewrite the laws of IT physics: they boost innovation through standards; they speed up development while assuring compliance; and they reduce cognitive load without restricting choice. Building such an in-house platform, or even deploying one, is far from easy, though. This book condenses a decade of building and rolling out platforms into practical advice for platform teams and users.5300+ happy readers! Also as Paperback edition

  3. IT Enterprise Architecture Management
    A Practitioner's Guide to Systematic IT Alignment
    Wolfgang Keller and Florian Oelmaier

    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.

  4. Ready (日本語版)
    なぜソフトウェアプロジェクトの多くは失敗するのか?その改善策を探る
    Max Guernsey, III, Luniel de Beer, and TranslateAI

    ほとんどの納品の問題は、コードやチーム、作業管理プロセスが原因ではありません。 それらは上流工程から始まります:要件がどのように成熟するか(あるいはしないか)という点です。 Readyは、要件成熟化フロー(RMF)を紹介します。これは作業を管理し、明確にし、整合性を取るためのシステムです — 作業開始前に、そして既存のフレームワークを変更することなく実現できます。 もしあなたのスプリントが持ち越しやり直し、あるいは間違ったものを提供することで終わっているなら、RMFこそがあなたに不足していた構造的な解決策です。

  5. How to Understand Almost Anything
    A Practitioner's (updated) Guide to Domain Analysis
    Markus Voelter

    You want to analyse, understand and capture the subject matter of a domain, typically because you want to build a software system in that domain? You're looking for abstractions to describe and ultimately execute said subject matter? Then this book is for you: it's chock-full of experience and practices for tackling this challenge.

  6. 37 Things One Architect Knows About IT Transformation
    A Chief Architect's Journey
    Gregor Hohpe

    As the digital economy changes the rules of the game for enterprises, the role of architects also changes. Rather than focus on software architecture alone, they must connect the penthouse, where the business strategy is set, and the engine room, where the enabling technology is implemented. Learn how to ride this Architect Elevator!

  7. Unit Testing: Stop Shipping Garbage
    The Leader’s Guide to Ending the Cycle of Rework, Delays, and Technical Debt
    Jonathan Jenkins

    You are not losing velocity because your engineers are slow. You are losing velocity because every line of untested code is a landmine your team laid for itself — and sooner or later, someone steps on it. This is the book that explains why. No syntax. No tutorials. Just the argument, the evidence, and the standard your team should already be held to. A 30-minute read that changes how you lead software quality forever.

  8. Most universities have IT policies. Few have a formal strategy behind them. This guide draws on annual research across 400+ colleges and universities to show higher education leaders where the sector's policy gaps are, how the unique dynamics of academic culture shape security programs differently than corporate or government environments, and how to close those gaps systematically.

  9. Digitale Transformation mit System (Edition 2026)
    Trends, Technologien, Geschäftsmodelle, Organisation, Prozesse, Planung und Change-Management der digitalen Transformation
    Wolfgang Keller, Hermann Ladner, and Michael Kunz

    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.

  12. Someone Else's Debt
    A Quantitative Framework for Cyber Diligence at Deal Speed
    Yolonda Smith

    Cyber risk in M&A gets treated as a compliance check, a heat-map of red and yellow boxes, or a problem to deal with after close. By then it is too late.Quantitative Cyber Diligence (QCD) replaces qualitative cyber diligence with a five-pillar framework that produces a single dollar-denominated figure the investment committee can argue about — calibrated, defensible, and reproducible. Each pillar maps to a measurable exposure: external attack surface, vendor concentration, data sensitivity, security program maturity, and integration risk. The framework aggregates per-pillar exposures with explicit correlation discount, surfaces tail-driver scenarios that conventional analysis misses, and translates the aggregate figure into deal-architecture recommendations: reps and warranties, escrow, price adjustment, or walk-away.This book documents how QCD engagements actually run. Two worked examples (healthcare-IT and industrial-IT). Practitioner templates. Per-pillar pseudocode. Industry loss benchmarks. The complete framework, calibrated to the post-Change-Healthcare era.

  14. Securing ServiceNow
    A CISO's Field Guide

  15. Someone Else's Breach
    A Practioner's Guide to Third-Party Incident Response
    Yolonda Smith

    You've got forty vendors, a hundred integrations, and a SOC 2 report that tells you exactly nothing about what happens when one of them gets compromised. Your dependency map lives in someone's head. Your exposure estimate is a shrug. Your decision process is whoever talks loudest in the emergency meeting. And when it's over, every lesson learned evaporates before the next incident hits. Someone Else's Breach is the framework that replaces all of it — a quantitative, repeatable system for knowing what you're exposed to, deciding what to do about it, and getting better every time. From proactive resilience design to AI-augmented detection, this is the practitioner's guide to surviving incidents you didn't cause but can't ignore.
