review 1: An entertaining, well researched, and well written book on managing self-organizing, agile teams. Full of examples and references, in addition to theory, this book will be one that you will read and refer to, and perhaps share. The one downside of reading the book is that you may realize that your current situation is not as good as it can be (be you an manager, or team member). But the book provides tools for understanding and change.
review 2: The key takeaway from this book is that complexity is inherent in a team/organization and there is no straight forward predetermined way to manage it. It requires strategies specific to the problem and the situation at hand. Thus, any theory is equally right or equally wrong but all of them bring in (or take away) some ... morevalue or another to the situation at hand! It rests in the hands of a capable manager to use them judiciously and create a high performing Agile team.The book is witty, entertaining and enlightening. That said, it is not an easy or a quick read. It throws so many theories, models and scientific basis at the reader that might be overwhelming, it was to me at least. less
