Chris Austin’s Reviews > The Value Flywheel Effect: Power the Future and Accelerate Your Organization to the Modern Cloud > Status Update

Chapter 10 is a bit light on details, and the breakdown of sociotechnical problems was oversimplified, which is very disappointing. I would have preferred to skip this subject since other books cover it well - "Sooner, Safer, Happier" is my top recommendation, along with "Agile Conversations" and "Team Topologies"

The example maps would be better if there was more narrative around them, and if the text used the same labels as the map. The examples often aren't explained, and some labels aren't defined. There's also too much emphasis on serverless - I'm reading this for Wardley Mapping, not a serverless sales pitch.

I love the introduction and the general approach to this book, though it's a little too heavily focused on serverless in the first 12 pages. I would have preferred to have it stick to the flywheel effect at this point instead of mentioning serverless so many times.
