Adaptive software development-from slave owners to leaders <2 rebirth of world outlook>

<Rebirth of world outlook>
--------

This book is called "Adaptive Software Development", with the cover of "especially applicable to tight, highly competitive, and frequently changed software projects". In fact, this is one-sided, the idea expressed in this book should be "adapted to all activities of mankind, and the larger part includes social systems, and the smaller part includes personal development ".

Biological Evolution was interpreted by Darwin as "survival Val of fittest". What if Darwin is wrong? Many people now believe in the arrival of fittest. That is to say, the most fundamental thing in biological evolution is that different creatures are organized to work together for a common goal, the survival of the fittest is only based on this. That is to say, the emergence of new organisms is due to the mutual cooperation and self-organization between Microorganisms, rather than the selection of nature. Self-Organizing behaviors are the foundation of evolution.

Like all life bodies, today's human groups are formed to organize and work with each other on their own. This means that an organization, a project team, is not a machine, but a group of living organisms. How can we treat people who make up such a living organism as labor resources as a component and use it as a dead, mechanical, and linear machine? (Abstract The author's words: "I hope that the idea of assembling products on a high-speed conveyor belt like a hypnotized robot will always be one side ")

We need to make our team full of vitality and creativity. Our team should be able to adapt to today's age of rapid changes, fierce competition, and complex chaos. Both aspects can be achieved by traditional software engineering.

Even though the slaves can also lead the slaves to complete "Pyramid", "Great Wall" and other large projects, they can only be applied to long-term stable and unchanged environments, and require high-speed development of extreme projects, but cannot adapt. Just as the evolution of biology is not decided by the "nature", not by the slaves, but by the creatures themselves who organize and adapt themselves to the complex and changing environment.

This is the world view of "Adaptive" theory. The three major aspects of this theory are:"Boom at the edge of chaos","Leadership-collaboration","Prediction-collaboration-Learning".
