I had very low expectations before reading this book, so it was a revelation for me. Shape up method is definitely much more agile than the so popularI had very low expectations before reading this book, so it was a revelation for me. Shape up method is definitely much more agile than the so popular Scrum. Actually, most of the chapters sounds like an explanation of the Agile Manifesto. The book is written in a very accessibly way, and well organized. There is not much revolution inside, but still it was really refreshing on the topic and I can recommend it from the heart to production teams. The method itself could be harder to apply in software house reality, but still should be worth reading – some ideas still should fit there....more

I cannot find words to say how much I love this book. It will change how you think about IT, work and definitely help you understand what DevOps is and what it is not. And it's real fun too! This great novel starts in Hitchcock style - with an earthquake followed by rising tension.
I will definitely read it again at least once....more
