Summary
A Tale of Two Systems takes us on an intriguing and very realistic journey through the development of two systems - one a spectacular success, and the other an equally spectacular failure. It exposes in detail why one system succeeds and the other fails. In the epilogue, Levine summarizes the lessons leaders should take away from this wonderful tale. This chapter alone is worth the price of the book; following the story brings a deep appreciation of its wisdom.--Mary Poppendieck, author of Implementing Lean Software Development: From Concept to Cash
