An underlying belief is that change is learning and learning creates knowledge.  By blending the theory of knowledge management, developers and managers will gain the tools to enhance learning and change to accommodate new innovative approaches such as agile and lean computing.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChanging Software Development\u003c\/b\u003e is peppered with practical advice and case studies to explain how and why knowledge, learning and change are important in the development process.  Today, managers are pre-occupied with knowledge management, organization learning and change management; while software developers are often ignorant of the bigger issues embedded in their work.  This innovative book bridges this divide by linking the software world of technology and processes to the business world of knowledge, learning and change.\u003c\/p\u003e  Preface.  \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.1 Why read this book?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.2 Who are software developers?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.3 Software developers are knowledge workers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.4 Drucker’s challenge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.5 Prototype of future knowledge workers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.6 Software: embedded knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.7 Authority and leadership.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.8 Practical theory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.9 Begin with yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.10 Book organisation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Understanding Agile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.1 Roots of Agile thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.2 Positioning Agile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.3 Common practices of Agile teams.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.4 Applicability outside of software development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2.5 Conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.1 The difference between Knowledge and Information.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.2 Knowledge into action.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.3 Explicit and Tacit knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.4 Sticky knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.5 Problems with knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.6 Where is knowledge in software development?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.7 Knowledge creations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3.8 Conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Learning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.1 Three knowledge domains.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.2 Developing software is learning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.3 Learning benefits your business.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.4 Learning theories.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.5 Learning, change, innovation, problem solving.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.6 The role of leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.7 Seed learning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4.8 Conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 The learning organisation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.1 Defining the learning organisation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.2 The infinite and the finite game.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.3 Layers of the organisations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.4 Learning in practice: Senge’s view.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.5 Blocks to learning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5.6 Conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Information Technology – the bringer of change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.1 Change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.2 Benefits of technology change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.3 Change is what IT people do to other people.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.4 Software projects fail: why are we surprised?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.5 Change starts with business requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6.6 Conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Understanding change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.1 Defining change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.2 Change spectrum.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.3 Radical change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.4 Routine change in software development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.5 Continuous improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.6 Charting a course.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.7 Internal and External forces for change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7.8 Conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Change models.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.1 Learning and Change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.2 Lewin’s change theory.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.3 Satir’s theory of change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.4 Kotter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.5 Theory E and Theory O of change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.6 Appreciative inquiry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.7 Models, models, models.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.8 Motivating change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.9 When not to change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8.10 Conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Making change happen.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9.1 Build a case for change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9.2 Slack in action: make time and space for learning and change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9.3 Leading the change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9.4 Create feedback loops.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9.5 Remove barriers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9.6 Conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10.
