Agile Grande Chapter 2: Continuous Delivery, Endless Dependencies
The writing of Agile Grande continues. For now, you can read for free on LeanPub. Get it now because maybe later I’ll charge a MINT!
I’m quite taken at how fluid and clear the ePub file works on iBook readers (Mac, iPhone, Android, …). I hope your reading experience is enjoyable as well.
So what does Agile Grande have to do with Trump’s border wall? Check out chapters one and two to get in the know. There are systems all around us that are affecting us everyday. If you can’t see the big picture then you’ll be many steps behind.
In this chapter, Kartar ends up working with Studebaker, Mr. Cherneski’s son. Together they discover a lead that points to a problem with order management, a system under Cherneski’s leadership. Through working with Studebaker on a report, Kartar discovers the hairy politics of doing organizational change with a company leadership who is mostly interested in assigning blame. Kartar argues over how to be transparent in a report for the company vice presidents. Studebaker isn’t willing to document anything that could cause controversy. Although Kartar insists on digging deeper into the incident, at the last minute, Cherneski has told Kartar to forget about it and sends him on a trip to a seaport in Dubai.
What’s upcoming for Chapter 3: a shipboard ‘accident’ puts Kartar’s life in danger and a beautiful, mysterious woman hunts Kartar using an ancient form of systems thinking.
I can’t wait to write it!
