Book Description
This book has distilled the experience of working professionals involved in Agile transformation and has been written in an easy-to-read style. While the stories in the book make it a light reading experience, the values from the tales and their linkage to the five values of Enterprise Agility detailed in the book make it a great learning experience with tips on how one can implement these values within their own workplace or organization A highly recommended book for anyone contemplating on how to become Agile, and for others who are already on this path, how to stay Agile. Vinod Sood, Co-Founder and Managing Director, Hughes Systique The software community has, over the years, been adopting a series of process innovations in their quest for delivering predictable, high-quality software. Agile approaches are a recent innovation that are becoming widely adopted across the world. However, most organizations that have gone Agile, have realized that they are not getting the benefits they were expecting with Agile and are searching for answers. This book from PM Power could help them significantly as it provides the priceless wisdom of many of their coaches in helping organizations not only successfully transform at an enterprise level into an Agile way of working but in sustaining such initiatives over time. Dr. A L Rao - Board Member - Trianz, EX COO- Wipro. Never have businesses and organizations faced such challenges like understanding market opportunities, customer requirements and risks as they are in today’s world as we face a global pandemic, geopolitical uncertainties and inequalities. This situation requires organizations to be more flexible and responsive and yes, more Agile, than ever before. The Five Tantras of Enterprise Agility couldn’t have come at a better time to help business leaders implement Agile in their design and development process. I highly recommend investing the time to read the book and learn how you can improve your current Agile implementation or for implementing Agile as a new approach. Marc Zionts, Executive Chairman, Precision Nutrition, Inc. I read “The Five tantras of Enterprise Agility” and enjoyed every bit of it. Intended for managers, it is indeed a great guide for those planning to launch the Agile journey in their organization or their client organization The style is conversational, the skill of the author to tell a compelling story is remarkable and deep subject matter conveyed in a light-load form factor remarkably well! With Agile getting mainstream and software entering every aspect of human endeavor, this book will be a must-read for most managers & consultants across the spectrum of industries - much beyond the software services industry! It is very contextual too! Starts before Covid-19, gets ready through the difficult period, and will see the light of the day on a day when hopefully Covid-19 would have become history!

The First Aryan
Author: Paramu Kurumathur
Publisher: Penguin Random House India Private Limited
ISBN: 9353056241
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
Will a series of brutal killings destroy the very foundation of Parsuvarta, an ancient kingdom? A series of murders have taken place in Parsupur, the capital city of Parsuvarta. Kasyapa and Agastya, two students training to become priests, are asked by their guru to investigate the deaths. Around the same time, there is great turmoil brewing in the city-a palace coup and a battle for supremacy between the traditional Indra worshipers and the new sect of Varuna followers. It is an age when Vedic gods are worshiped, religious sacrifices are performed regularly, commerce flourishes and kings are guided by their loyal head priests. But beneath this façade of order lie prejudices and political rivalries, jealousy and power games. This is why the murders, which at first seem to be unconnected, soon lead in the same direction. It is now up to Kasyapa and Agastya to find out the common thread and identify the killer. The First Aryan is a one-of-its-kind murder mystery set in the Vedic times.

Author: Gilles Deleuze
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 9780826476944
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 716
Book Description
‘A rare and remarkable book.' Times Literary Supplement Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) was Professor of Philosophy at the University of Paris VIII. He is a key figure in poststructuralism, and one of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. Félix Guattari (1930-1992) was a psychoanalyst at the la Borde Clinic, as well as being a major social theorist and radical activist. A Thousand Plateaus is part of Deleuze and Guattari's landmark philosophical project, Capitalism and Schizophrenia - a project that still sets the terms of contemporary philosophical debate. A Thousand Plateaus provides a compelling analysis of social phenomena and offers fresh alternatives for thinking about philosophy and culture. Its radical perspective provides a toolbox for ‘nomadic thought' and has had a galvanizing influence on today's anti-capitalist movement. Translated by Brian Massumi>
