Presentation at the Scan-Agile conference

Last week, I was at the Scan-Agile conference in Helsinki. I did a completely new presentation which I called "Journey through product development literature". It was a new style of presentation that only consisted of quotes from different books. I had a lot of fun making and doing the presentation.

I got some requests to list the books I talked about. Here they are:

• Hackers & Painters - Paul Graham
• How to Read a Book - Adler, Van Doren
• Dynamic Manufacturing - Hayes, Wheelwright and Clark
• Toyota Culture - Liker, Hoseus
• Just in Time - Ohno
• 8th Habit - Covey
• Clean Code - Martin
• Hard Facts - Pfeffer, Sutton
• Cross-Functional Teams - Parker
• Flexible Product Development - Smith
• Winning with Products - Cooper
• Product Development Performance - Clark, Fujimoto
• Revolutionizing Product Development - Clark, Wheelwright
• Fast Cycle Time - Meyer
• Designing Team-Based Organizations - Mohrman, Cohen
• The Discipline of Teams - Kaztenbach, Smith
• Wisdom of Teams - Katzenbach, Smith
• Leading Teams - Hackman
• X-Teams - Ancona, Bresman
• Reflections on Quality - Crosby
• Teams at the Top - Katzenbach
• Leading Self-Directed Teams - Fisher

Not all of the books are recommended reading though :) Some of the really good (and modern) ones are "Leading Teams", "Fast Cycle Time", "Toyota Culture" and "Hard Facts"
