Summary
In many organisations， management is the biggest obstacle to successful Agile development。 Unfortunately， reliable guidance on Agile management has been scarce indeed。 Now， leading Agile manager Jurgen Appelo fills that gap， introducing a realistic approach to leading， managing， and growing your Agile team or organisation。
Writing for current managers and developers moving into management， Appelo shares insights that are grounded in modern complex systems theory， reflecting the intense complexity of modern software development。 Appelo's Management 3。0 model recognises that today's organizations are living， networked systems; and that management is primarily about people and relationships。
Management 3。0 doesn't offer mere checklists or prescriptions to follow slavishly; rather， it deepens your understanding of how organisations and Agile teams work and gives you tools to solve your own problems。 Drawing on his extensive experience as an Agile manager， the author identifies the most important practices of Agile management and helps you improve each of them。

Gave up in the middle of the book。 There is plenty of informatiin， interesting comparisons and stories yet nothing of these stick in my mind。 Maybe one day I'll come back to this position， but for now shelving it。 Gave up in the middle of the book。 There is plenty of informatiin， interesting comparisons and stories yet nothing of these stick in my mind。 Maybe one day I'll come back to this position， but for now shelving it。 。。。more

This book proposes an agile management model framed within complexity and non-linear processes， where the only constant must be change， adoption， adaptation and exploration。 It is the first business book that has a high scientific content， which allows the author to explain in a deep way each of the six views of his Management 3。0。 Highly recommended ！！！

Kolejna książka o zarządzaniu， która mogłaby być połowę krótsza i zawierać mniej powtórzeń。 W moim przypadku przekonywała przekonanego， więc nie zachwyciła。 Ale na pewno może mieć swoich zachwyconych odbiorców。

Ler esse livro foi （e continuará sendo） uma jornada。 Além da abordagem mais científica （que eu amo）， todo fim de capítulo tem algumas "call to action" pra aplicar o conhecimento explicado no seu dia a dia de trabalho。 Isso fez com que eu demorasse de próposito para ir absorvendo o conteúdo aos poucos （e antes de terminar， já voltei em alguns capítulos pra reler por estar passando por exatamente aquele problema no trabalho）。 É um dos livros que vou manter como referência por um bom tempo。 Ler esse livro foi （e continuará sendo） uma jornada。 Além da abordagem mais científica （que eu amo）， todo fim de capítulo tem algumas "call to action" pra aplicar o conhecimento explicado no seu dia a dia de trabalho。 Isso fez com que eu demorasse de próposito para ir absorvendo o conteúdo aos poucos （e antes de terminar， já voltei em alguns capítulos pra reler por estar passando por exatamente aquele problema no trabalho）。 É um dos livros que vou manter como referência por um bom tempo。 。。。more

First step on the less-technical career path is behind me。 I am happy that this was the book that accompanied me。 Although it's been written a decade ago， I believe that it is still up-to-date and conveys lots of knowledge - both theoretical and practical - on how to become a good leader and manager in agile organisation。 I'm looking forward to reading next books by Jurgen Appelo and learning from him。 First step on the less-technical career path is behind me。 I am happy that this was the book that accompanied me。 Although it's been written a decade ago， I believe that it is still up-to-date and conveys lots of knowledge - both theoretical and practical - on how to become a good leader and manager in agile organisation。 I'm looking forward to reading next books by Jurgen Appelo and learning from him。 。。。more

In my opinion， this book is a must-read for managers in software development。 The book demystifies what is under the hood and in an understandable and clear way presents guidelines for team management。

The presentation of theories from different sciences and their connection to working with software teams is a really inspiring approach。 However the book presents （10 years after release） not a lot of new ideas （do not try to simplify before you understand complexity， systems depend on their context， change is not linear）。 Indeed the style of „agile“management presented is often rather old-fashioned with an acquired layer of dust （e。 g。 one on ones with your employees as a necessary nuisance， co The presentation of theories from different sciences and their connection to working with software teams is a really inspiring approach。 However the book presents （10 years after release） not a lot of new ideas （do not try to simplify before you understand complexity， systems depend on their context， change is not linear）。 Indeed the style of „agile“management presented is often rather old-fashioned with an acquired layer of dust （e。 g。 one on ones with your employees as a necessary nuisance， coaching employees is mainly about competence， a team‘s purpose should be formulated by the manager）。 The first chapters seem a lot more thought through than the latter ones， which are often a bit sloppy in their argumentation。 The „witty“ style with boys jokes and constant allusions to the writer‘s quirks （programming naked with the trunks over his head） with time become a bit annoying when you want to read a management book。All in all， it might have had its merits 10 years ago。 The theory and practice of Agile leadership has fortunately since then progressed beyond version 3。0 in many ways。 。。。more

The book is a thing to read if you are managing （or about to manage） a development team。 It contains a lot of theory and practical advice on what can be analyzed and/or done in your particular organization。 Although， I couldn't help it but notice the author's prominent opinion of himself showed in the face of the reader from every other page。 All in all， I can't say that I had any "Oh my gosh！" revelations while reading it， rather a couple of interesting thoughts and a bit deeper knowledge in th The book is a thing to read if you are managing （or about to manage） a development team。 It contains a lot of theory and practical advice on what can be analyzed and/or done in your particular organization。 Although， I couldn't help it but notice the author's prominent opinion of himself showed in the face of the reader from every other page。 All in all， I can't say that I had any "Oh my gosh！" revelations while reading it， rather a couple of interesting thoughts and a bit deeper knowledge in the development teams' life cycle and specifics of managing those teams。 。。。more

As many aspects are described and there are good examples I give a 5。 What I like too is the reflection in between of different point。 There is never just one solution。 I can recommend the book。

Ill be honest， I dont remember much from this book。 I was a newbie Scrum Master when I had read it 5 years ago。 I had zero experience in leadership。 Still - this book kickstarted me， made me a fan of Jurgen Appelo and made me read more。 So I probably should recommend it。

This books is a perfect example of "don't judge a book by its cover"。 The book is like Yuval Noah Harari's Sapians for software developers！ Did contain a-lot of theoretical ideas and very little practical advice but was engaging and not what I expected。 This books is a perfect example of "don't judge a book by its cover"。 The book is like Yuval Noah Harari's Sapians for software developers！ Did contain a-lot of theoretical ideas and very little practical advice but was engaging and not what I expected。 。。。more

Great book on on agile mgmt。 Very interesting derivations and synthesis。 And of course the personal and humorous way it is written makes it enjoyable to read。

Overall good book on management， if you have never read or got management courses it will be great。 Book contains so many facts from different sources， on many different topics that I actually first of all was disturbed from the main topic of the book and secondly at some point it felt that this was needed to make the book size to look as serious book。 Too much water。

Very interesting views on management。 I recommend this book to all managers who aspire to become a agile manager。 Also summarises many management theories nicely。

This is such a great resource！For the past few years， I have been diving into the theory of agile software development。 Something that was difficult for me to grasp is the role of management in an Agile organisation。 This book answered all of my questions。 That is important because it means this book is not only for managers but for anybody working in an agile organisation。I enjoyed reading it and I really like the format。 One thing I am not sure about is the name， I feel it should be called dif This is such a great resource！For the past few years， I have been diving into the theory of agile software development。 Something that was difficult for me to grasp is the role of management in an Agile organisation。 This book answered all of my questions。 That is important because it means this book is not only for managers but for anybody working in an agile organisation。I enjoyed reading it and I really like the format。 One thing I am not sure about is the name， I feel it should be called differently。 So if you do not like the title， do not be put off by it！ The content is awesome and worth reading。 。。。more

Other reviewers on GoodReads have complained that this book doesn't add anything that can't already be found in existing literature on agile management。 For me， not having read that existing literature yet， this was really a strength of the book。 I found the overview of the landscape and the very comprehensive bibliography to be very helpful。I found the book to be very well written。 It had a very well defined structure， iterating over 6 points by alternating between chapters on theory and practi Other reviewers on GoodReads have complained that this book doesn't add anything that can't already be found in existing literature on agile management。 For me， not having read that existing literature yet， this was really a strength of the book。 I found the overview of the landscape and the very comprehensive bibliography to be very helpful。I found the book to be very well written。 It had a very well defined structure， iterating over 6 points by alternating between chapters on theory and practice， and the chapter summaries and constant framing made it relatively easy to keep track of the context。 The writing flowed well， and enjoyed his quirky sense of humour， though I would quite understand if it annoyed other readers。I found the chapters on practice a bit odd。 The chapters on theory mostly dealt with complexity theory， where the main thesis is that there are no one-size-fits-all solutions， and then the practice chapters came along and mentioned very specific solutions which I could easily imagine backfiring in various contexts。 I guess he wasn't insisting that you try those specific solutions， but was merely making concrete examples to make the theory more relatable， but personally I found the theory fascinating enough。One small， specific complaint about the footnotes with web links: they use his own url shortener， which he claimed in the intro was so that he could update the links to keep them correct longer than the originals would have lasted。 8 years later， he's not maintaining the shortener anymore， which is sad because it's quite a simple thing to do and he still seems to have control of the domain。 Meanwhile， most of the original links would probably still be valid。 。。。more
