The Results of our first Chapter theme Poll

Thanks so much to everyone who took time to fill in our poll about chapters, we had over 50 of you respond.

The poll is now closed and the top four themes, as voted by you, are:

  1. What can go wrong and when not to use Agile: The warning signs and when Agile doesn’t fit.
  2. Agile UX and design: How can UX and design fit with agile development? It does, we promise.
  3. Agile at scale: Implementing Agile to manage a chunky programme, portfolio or organisation.
  4. Planning, tracking and reporting: Waterfall isn’t the only way to get the governance processes your Stakeholders need. We’ll explore what you can do to measure progress, gauge insights and how to constantly learn as you go.

For us, this means that our first workshops will focus on the top 4 themes.

That doesn’t mean we won’t include other themes, but these are what you (the users) have told us are the most important.

The full results are as follows:

Chapter Themes

This week we spent some time workshopping chapter themes and now we would love your input.

These chapter themes are going into a list we’re calling the Chapter Backlog. We’ll add ideas and hone this list all the time, but we’d like you to prioritise them for us. We are writing this book for you afterall.

The current Chapter Backlog is below and this is your chance to tell us what you most want us to write about. If you think we’ve missed something important, then please feel free to add a comment.
