Continuous Digital: An agile alternative to projects for digital business
As this still young century continues it has become clear that the business world is increasingly a digital world. The software companies of the last century are but the prototypes of the modern digital business.
In the digital world, the business is technology, and technology is the business.
Digitisation forces companies to rethink the way they organize themselves. Aligning software development and technology operations with business goals is just the start. Digitisation means management must embrace new paradigms for their own work - and let some old ones go.
Agile software development was the first wave of process change for digital business. Now it is time for management thinking to change.
Continuous Digital sets out a new management model for digital businesses. Continuous Digital takes Agile to the next level.

Careful! Not only this book offers you plenty of food for thought, it is practical enough to be your handbook for transforming a business into a digital one. Without resorting to boring management speak Allan explains how to take an organisation to the next level by putting customer first, focussing on value and building effective feedback loops to emphasise learning.
