    About this ebook

    I've been experimenting with different ways of nurturing Agile & Entrepreneurial culture onto teams, companies, projects... and daily life!

    Sequence of events inspired me, I woke up one morning and began taking some notes, in a thinking loudly style... With continuous practice, my notes evolved into a book form thru the way.

    In May.2012 I've self published the first Yogurt book. Since then I got involved in variety of technologies, experimentations... Thereby, I felt the urge to reflect my new experiences onto Yogurt book, by revisiting, revising and extending the contents.
    Though, I was so tired of the books written in "how-to" style! It is funny to see there is still plenty of books claim to teach you the magic recipe.
    e.g. how-to build Agile teams in 10 steps, how-to become master quickly in 4 steps, etc etc.

    As Musashi said;
    "You must understand that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain."

    My intention is neither to provide any kind of ultimate recipe, nor anything like how-to build better teams in 8 steps! On the contrary, all sections are written with passion, just for the sake of sharing knowledge and my humble experiences.

    Here we are... the shiny NEW edition!
    - Completely re-designed & reformatted
    - Each section has been carefully revised, and extended
    - a new Chapter about GAMIFICATION

    In this extended edition, we will enjoy the ride with the flavor of Yogurt here and there, talking about this and that...
    in 8+ sections:
    1) People Development
    2) Agile - Sharp - Transparent
    3) What - Why - How
    4) Work is Fun
    5) Flow
    6) Harmony in Chaos
    7) KISMIS
    8) the WareNinja Test
    +1) GAMIFICATION

    Einstein said well; everybody is a genius!
    You have the skills, vision and passion to do things in your genuine way...
    just believe in yourself and better begin, sooner than later, right now..!

    Disclaimer:
    This notebook (that’s better than naming it a book) will not give you the ultimate answer to the meaning of Agile Development, neither to life (the answer is surely 42!), but again, finding the ultimate answer is not in scope of that notebook, I doubt the existence of ultimate answer to any question though...

    Note: Blurbs are the invention of my mind, triggered by coffee & cigarettes!
    Appended just before the final revision, while approaching dawn of the day... hope you like them :-)

      About the Author

      Gratitude

      Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues,

      but the parent of all others.

      ~ Cicero

      Software development is like day-dreaming, you may even regard it as a state of art, or just as creative games we played when were kids… so should we patent dreams and sue others from having similar ones? How would that comply with the flow of the nature?

      I disagree with patents & copyrights especially in the world of creativity; therefore, you are allowed, even encouraged to share and reuse any section you like! Although it is voluntary, a tiny attribution/mention would do well for motivation. You are the most welcome to contribute back with feedback, comments.

      I’ve read APE the book published by Guy Kawasaki. While preparing for these book editions, I’ve leveraged many of the recommended practices. This time, I worked more like #APE! Guy’s book has vastly expanded my knowledge about A, P and E!

      Big big thanks to Kawasaki & Welch for making such a life saver book!

      In this edition, I’ve used LeanPub, for it is such a great platform particularly for collaborative authorship. Thanks LeanPub, keep on rocking!
