Sommario/riassunto

"This book makes the case that the potential of Agile development in software product management was lost because feature-based Waterfall planning forces engineering into so-called "hybrid" approaches that don't support basic tenets of Agile development. A new Agile planning process based on value flow optimization can unleash Agile, taking companies into a new era of business agility and financial predictability. The author introduces a practical way to unify Agile practices across the product development life cycle, from ideation through deployment. This holistic perspective facilitates collaboration and teamwork among product management, engineering, and project management to finally realize the promises of Agile development."--

Sommario/riassunto

Hassell studies police organizational cultures and patrol practices through close participant observation in a large, municipal Midwestern police department. Her work uncovers that organizational cultures are formed at the precinct level. Police patrol practices, concomitantly, vary markedly within this police organization at the precinct level of analysis. Not only were these patterns observed, but police patrol officers overwhelmingly agree that the organizational cultures and police patrol practices vary at the sub-organizational level of the precinct. Furthermore, this study shows some support for David Klinger's (1997) causal model of police behavior ("Negotiating Order in Patrol") but the overall utility of the model, in this context, is weak.
