Delivery Optimization Books
by Ryan Kent
Books for people who live in the world of delivery, work, and teams. Some serious. Some just seriously fun.
"I believe readers will find something rare here, practical insights that are both useful and deeply human."
"All I have to say is "wow" I love the storytelling and all the great examples included in this book. You made it simple and easy to digest with no big fancy words to coverup what's actually important."
"As a Scrum Master who is all about Optimizing Delivery, I cannot say enough about this read. It will help you and your delivery teams understanding the what and why we do what we do."
