About the Book
Philosophy is applied language. It's critical to understand that concept if you want to build the right thing, whether an automated skyscraper or non-profit organization. We create useful domains of solutioning using conversations, process, and documentation based on our shared values using behavior as a deliminator. We make our lives better right now by learning what worked and didn't work in the past. Each action we take to build the right thing is better than countless other actions we take building things right.
Our team: Socrates, Wittgenstein, and Chomsky/Sapir-Whorf. Our tools: the dialectic, Structured Analysis, and UML.Our mission: moving beyond process books and using the secrets top Agile coaches use to set up and keep User Stories and other project information simple and constantly-aligned, delivering true value in fast-paced, highly-complex environments.
Learn how things like user stories, backlog refinement, emergent design, and story mapping work. Learn new concepts such as Test-Driven Analysis, Continuous Information Flow, the Analysis Canvas, and how to use an Analysis Compiler. Written in simple language and with quirky examples, this easy-to-understand book explains how to create value and delight your customers.

About the Author
Daniel Markham
Daniel wrote his first contract program when he was 16 for a local bookkeeper using BASIC and an Apple IIe.

He ran a local software shop, consulted nationally as a programmer, and spoke at several conferences. As his consulting career continued, he moved from senior developer to tech lead, then architect, then architect team lead, then technical project manager, then release manager.
As an active coder and manager, for the last several years Daniel has spent time with clients as an Agile/XP Technical Coach, helping them rediscover how to discover and create value at speed.
