The Five Tantras of Enterprise Agility

By: Paramu Kurumathur

This book has distilled the experience of working professionals involved in Agile transformation and has been written in an easy-to-read style. While the stories in the book make it a light reading experience, the values from the tales and their linkage to the five values of Enterprise Agility detailed in the book make it a great learning experience with tips on how one can implement these values within their own workplace or organization A highly recommended book for anyone contemplating on how to become Agile, and for others who are already on this path, how to stay Agile. Vinod Sood, Co-Founder and Managing Director, Hughes Systique The software community has, over the years, been adopting a series of process innovations in their quest for delivering predictable, high-quality software. Agile approaches are a recent innovation that are becoming widely adopted across the world. However, most organizations that have gone Agile, have realized that they are not getting the benefits they were expecting with Agile and are searching for answers. This book from PM Power could help them significantly as it provides the priceless wisdom of many of their coaches in helping organizations not only successfully transform at an enterprise level into an Agile way of working but in sustaining such initiatives over time. Dr. A L Rao - Board Member - Trianz, EX COO- Wipro. Never have businesses and organizations faced such challenges like understanding market opportunities, customer requirements and risks as they are in today’s world as we face a global pandemic, geopolitical uncertainties and inequalities. This situation requires organizations to be more flexible and responsive and yes, more Agile, than ever before. The Five Tantras of Enterprise Agility couldn’t have come at a better time to help business leaders implement Agile in their design and development process. I highly recommend investing the time to read the book and learn how you can improve your current Agile implementation or for implementing Agile as a new approach. Marc Zionts, Executive Chairman, Precision Nutrition, Inc. I read “The Five tantras of Enterprise Agility” and enjoyed every bit of it. Intended for managers, it is indeed a great guide for those planning to launch the Agile journey in their organization or their client organization The style is conversational, the skill of the author to tell a compelling story is remarkable and deep subject matter conveyed in a light-load form factor remarkably well! With Agile getting mainstream and software entering every aspect of human endeavor, this book will be a must-read for most managers & consultants across the spectrum of industries - much beyond the software services industry! It is very contextual too! Starts before Covid-19, gets ready through the difficult period, and will see the light of the day on a day when hopefully Covid-19 would have become history! Prof S Sadagopan, Director, IIIT-Bangalore

Software Project Health: An Epic Retold

By: Paramu Kurumathur, PM Power Consulting

Overall, “Software Project Health: An Epic Retold,” certainly fulfils its promise. The core sections on engineering and execution excellence are particularly outstanding… Ashok Soota, Executive Chairman, Happiest Minds Technologies This book is a valuable contribution to the software project management literature. It addresses the need to fill the gap left by using metrics alone to manage a project… Prof.S.Sadagopan, Director, IIIT, Bangalore The author has intelligently used the characters of the Mahabharata to lucidly narrate the concepts of Software Project Health. Integrating Customer Connect and Engaged Management is novel… Krishna Prasad, Director and Country Manager, AS&UX Segment, Aptiv India “Software Project Health – An Epic Retold” has great insights from a real practitioner’s on-the-ground experiences. A must- read in the era of digital disruption. L.Ravichandran, President and Chief Operating Officer, TechMahindra Complex concepts and recipes for lasting success in project management have been made very easy by this excellent compilation from PM Power practitioners. Ramakrishnan Sudarshanam, Divisional VP – IT, United Breweries Ltd An epic is retold. The actors are familiar, but the roles are different. Arjuna is tormented by doubts about his capability to deliver the Kurukshetra program in a competition against the Kauravas. Krishna coaches and mentors him, helping him overcome his self-doubt. To deliver his program, Arjuna aspires to ensure the sustained “health” of his projects as opposed to the Kauravas who are approaching the challenge ready to cut all corners for short-term success. Arjuna and Krishna, with a focus on means and not just the ends, together evolve a project health framework for effective delivery, assurance of outcomes and robust products. This is the story of their fascinating journey of discovery interacting with project teams and stakeholders to develop new perspectives in managing projects. The end result is a comprehensive set of project Vital Signs and their manifestations and a 360-degree assessment approach – a framework for early warning to address the not-uncommon syndrome of projects being “in the pink of health till yesterday, but in Intensive Care today.”

The First Aryan

The Legend of Vr̥ṣākap

By: Paramu Kurumathur

Will a series of brutal killings destroy the very foundation of Parsuvarta, an ancient kingdom? A series of murders have taken place in Parsupur, the capital city of Parsuvarta. Kasyapa and Agastya, two students training to become priests, are asked by their guru to investigate the deaths. Around the same time, there is great turmoil brewing in the city-a palace coup and a battle for supremacy between the traditional Indra worshipers and the new sect of Varuna followers. It is an age when Vedic gods are worshiped, religious sacrifices are performed regularly, commerce flourishes and kings are guided by their loyal head priests. But beneath this façade of order lie prejudices and political rivalries, jealousy and power games. This is why the murders, which at first seem to be unconnected, soon lead in the same direction. It is now up to Kasyapa and Agastya to find out the common thread and identify the killer. The First Aryan is a one-of-its-kind murder mystery set in the Vedic times.
