Part I: The Kernel Idea Explained

In the first part of the book, we present the kernel and the ideas behind the kernel in a nutshell. We first demonstrate, through a simple story, how a software professional (Smith) helps a team address some software development challenges by using the kernel. Using this story we introduce the concepts behind the kernel, how we made the kernel tangible for software professionals, and how to extend the kernel to cover a broad range of software development challenges through practices. Through this, we demonstrate how the kernel helps you develop software, grow and scale to a large development, learn new practices, and evolve your way of working.
