Fabio D'Amico is a senior software engineer/technical coach with over 15 years of experience helping software product teams across government, finance, healthcare, and property technology sectors in Europe, the UK, and the United States. Working alongside high performance teams, he has seen the gap between agile rhetoric and daily reality up close, and this book grew out of that gap: it is the detailed, week by week resource he wishes someone had shown him earlier in his career.

His approach combines technical excellence (TDD, refactoring, continuous delivery) with the human side of software: he draws on Nonviolent Communication and Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions of a Team model to help teams communicate, trust each other, and lead well. He believes empowered teams are built on both.

Beyond The Feature Factory book is published openly under CC BY-SA 4.0, in the spirit of the practitioners whose ideas it synthesizes. If it helps your team, sharing it along is the best thank you.

Away from the keyboard, Fabio is a drummer and a rock climber, two pursuits that teach the same lesson as software: progress comes from rhythm, practice, and the occasional leap.
