This book was great! It contains challenging ideas that are straight to the point. If you have ever used 37 Signals software or read their blog you no doubt know their focus is on speed, simplicity, ease of use, and clarity. It comes as no surprise their process and methodologies also follow this focus. These guys practice agile development to the extreme. They don’t use a backlog for feature requests; they don’t even write them down! “The requests that really matter are the ones you’ll hear over and over.” “If I had asked my customers what they wanted,” Henry Ford said, “they would have said a faster horse” These guys question the accepted practice or methodology and make sure it is applicable for them.
A lot of the ideas are more fitted for smaller businesses or start ups, but the ideas are transferable. Let me know if you want to borrow it, following the theme in the book, it’s a quick read.
