Changing Software Development explains why software
development is an exercise in change management and organizational
intelligence. An underlying belief is that change is learning
and learning creates knowledge. By blending the theory of
knowledge management, developers and managers will gain the tools
to enhance learning and change to accommodate new innovative
approaches such as agile and lean computing.
Changing Software Development is peppered with practical advice and case studies to explain how and why knowledge, learning and change are important in the development process. Today, managers are pre-occupied with knowledge management, organization learning and change management; while software developers are often ignorant of the bigger issues embedded in their work. This innovative book bridges this divide by linking the software world of technology and processes to the business world of knowledge, learning and change.
