Agile 2

Acknowledgments

We would like to thank the rest of the Agile 2 team—those who contributed to Agile 2's development but who are not authors of this book. They are Huet Landry, Lakshmi Chirravuri, MC Moore, Navneet Nair, Parul Choudhary, Priya Mayilsamy, Vigneshwaran Kennady, and Vincent Harris.

We would like to thank those who reviewed the draft Agile 2 content early, prior to its release, including David Anderson, Alidad Hamidi, Maarten Dalmjin, and Shane Hastie.

We would like to thank Navneet Nair for his insights in Chapter 7, “It's All About the Product.”

We would like to thank Lakshmi Chirravuri for her contributions regarding PeopleOps in Chapter 14, “Agile 2 in Service Domains.”

We would like to thank some individuals who provided early insights and feedback about Agile 2 ideas, including Chris Mills, Ebony Nicole Brown, Neil Green, and Thomas Fuller.

We thank the original group of Agilists who, throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, shared their wisdom and experience so generously and openly with the world.

We thank the DevOps community, including early authors such as Jez Humble and Gene Kim, for connecting the dots about continuous delivery and DevOps and explaining it to the world.

Finally, we would like to thank all those among the software and product development communities who have demonstrated original thinking in trying to improve the ecosystem and who have helped clients and colleagues to consider their actual situation instead of following a standard template. ...
