  • Managing Technical Debt: Reducing Friction in Software Development (SEI Series in Software Engineering)

    01
    “This is an incredibly wise and useful book. The authors have considerable real-world experience in delivering quality systems that matter, and their expertise shines through in these pages. Here you will learn what technical debt is, what is it not, how to manage it, and how to pay it down in responsible ways. This is a book I wish I had when I was just beginning my career. The authors present a myriad of case studies, born from years of experience, and offer a multitude of actionable insights for how to apply it to your project.”
    –Grady Booch, IBM Fellow
    Master Best Practices for Managing Technical Debt to Promote Software Quality and Productivity
    As software systems mature, earlier design or code decisions made in the context of budget or schedule constraints increasingly impede evolution and innovation. This phenomenon is called technical debt, and practical solutions exist. In Managing Technical Debt, three leading experts introduce integrated, empirically developed principles and practices that any software professional can use to gain control of technical debt in any software system.

    Using real-life examples, the authors explain the forms of technical debt that afflict software-intensive systems, their root causes, and their impacts. They introduce proven approaches for identifying and assessing specific sources of technical debt, limiting new debt, and “paying off” debt over time. They describe how to establish managing technical debt as a core software engineering practice in your organization.

    • Discover how technical debt damages manageability, quality, productivity, and morale–and what you can do about it
    • Clarify root causes of debt, including the linked roles of business goals, source code, architecture, testing, and infrastructure
    • Identify technical debt items, and analyze their costs so you can prioritize action
    • Choose the right solution for each technical debt item: eliminate, reduce, or mitigate
    • Integrate software engineering practices that minimize new debt

    Managing Technical Debt will be a valuable resource for every software professional who wants to accelerate innovation in existing systems, or build new systems that will be easier to maintain and evolve.

    “Jeff Thull’s process plays a key role in helping companies and their customers cross the chasm with disruptive innovations and succeed with game-changing initiatives.”
    ―Geoffrey A. Moore, author of Crossing the Chasm and Dealing with Darwin

    “This is the first book that lays out a solid method for selling cross-company, cross-border, even cross-culturally where you have multiple decision makers with multiple agendas. This is far more than a ‘selling process’―it is a survival guide―a truly outstanding approach to bringing all the pieces of the puzzle together.”
    ―Ed Daniels, EVP, Shell Global Solutions Downstream, President, CRI/Criterion, Inc.

    “Mastering the Complex Sale brilliantly sets up value from the customer’s perspective. A must-read for all those who are managing multinational business teams in a complex and highly competitive environment.”
    ―Samik Mukherjee, Vice President, Onshore Business, Technip

    “Customers need to know the value they will receive and how they will receive it. Thull’s insights into the complex sale and how to clarify and quantify this value are remarkable―Mastering the Complex Sale will be required reading for years to come!”
    ―Lee Tschanz, Vice President, North American Sales, Rockwell Automation

    “Jeff Thull is winning the war against commoditization. In his world, value trumps price and commoditization isn’t a given, it’s a choice. This is a proven alternative to the price-driven sale. We’ve spoken to his clients. This stuff really works, folks.”
    ―Dave Stein, CEO and Founder, ES Research Group, Inc.

    “Our business depends on delivering breakthrough thinking to our executive clients. Jeff Thull has significantly redefined sales and marketing strategies that clearly connect to our global audience. Read it, act on it, and take your results to exceptional levels.”
    ―Sven Kroneberg, President, Seminarium Internacional

    “Jeff’s main thesis―that professional customer guidance is the key to success―rings true in every global market today. Mastering the Complex Sale is the essential read for any organization looking to transform their business for long-term, value-driven growth.”
    ―Jon T. Lindekugel, President, 3M Health Information Systems, Inc.

    “Jeff Thull has re-engineered the conventional sales process to create predictable and profitable growth in today’s competitive marketplace. It’s no longer about selling; it’s about guiding quality decisions and creating collaborative value. This is one of those rare books that will make a difference.”

  • Mind the Inclusion Gap: How allies can bridge the divide between talking diversity and taking action

    08

    Diversity programmes are everywhere. But are they working?

    A handful of organisations and individuals are leading the way but, on the whole, our diversity efforts are moving at a glacial pace. Homophobia, transphobia, racism and misogyny remain stubbornly pervasive – meanwhile, many inclusion programmes do more to create negativity toward the diversity agenda than they do to bring about measurable and lasting change.

    While most of us are curious about diversity, and some would go so far as to call ourselves allies, very few of us are skilled in inclusion. Instead, we double down on being nice and hope that will be enough. But this optimistic attitude may harm as much as help.

    This book is for anyone who wants to dive into the complex task of supporting diversity. It will build your confidence and practical know-how to help you navigate the polarised and divisive issues we face in the workplace and in the world. And it will give you everyday skills to move from talking about diversity to taking action, allowing you to play a meaningful role in shaping an inclusive future.

  • Mindset – Updated Edition: Changing The Way You think To Fulfil Your Potential

    08

    World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea-the power of our mindset.

    Dweck explains why it’s not just our abilities and talent that bring us success-but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn’t foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals-personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.
