What People Are Saying about This Book

Scott Ambler

In early 2006, Ivar told me about his ideas around the essentials of the software process and about how to describe them with alphas and work products. At the time, I knew he had some work to do but clearly had important insights to share. This work eventually dovetailed into SEMAT, which I was honored to be involved with at its inception.
