For leaders & practitioners
About the book.
The book examines software delivery under AI acceleration: how to read the evidence, act on constraints and assess whether a change helped. It connects the detail of delivery work with the organisational decisions made from it.
It is written for technology and delivery leaders, and for the practitioners who operate the underlying measurements. The leadership task is to understand what the evidence permits, who owns the decision and when a confident answer needs more scrutiny.
