However, Lean-Agile was written for small companies seeking new markets to buy their innovative software products, not for an average corporation with a catalogue of existing software products that must be maintained and rebuilt. The typical tech-enabled business isn't a lean startup; it's¿a chunky corporate. This book offers an alternative software development methodology perfectly suited for chunky corporate product management. Yoüll quickly find out how individual players in the corporate organization impact business performance. Yoüll follow the story of Blake, a well-meaning but ultimately naive, CEO of a fictional company called Acme Tech. As he and Acme struggle to maintain business performance, it becomes apparent how embedded and complex his challenges are. Lean-Agile principles are regularly misapplied in the corporate environment, causing tension, missed deadlines, and inefficient working practices. Yoüll see that managing software transformation at a large, mature business requires a new set of tools.
