"This is THE compendium on modern delivery leadership. Jonny builds on the shoulders of giants, weaving together contemporary product delivery approaches and articulates both the value of delivery roles as well as providing a useful toolbox for aspiring and experienced delivery leaders. A go-to book for those involved in helping product teams to release value for their users."

"It's rare for an agile book to correctly capture and align all the conceptual elements, underpinning values and principles, but Jonny Williams has managed it in Delivery Management. Understanding these is far more important than rigid adherence to a framework for any Delivery Manager, new or old. But this isn't just theory because the book gives all the practical techniques to manifest the essential behaviours and approaches for successful delivery. Essential reading for anyone seeking to master Delivery Management."
Barry Traish, Head of Role for Agile Delivery, Department for Work and Pensions
"I see this book as must read material for all delivery professionals, and potentially for other team members in a product team, to build empathy and understanding for the role. By providing a common language and a gamut of practical tools, I'm expecting it to set forward the practice several years."
Laura Burnett, Head of Delivery, Made Tech
"This is a thought-provoking, considered and enlightening guide, based on real-life learnings and experiences, that will help those who are curious about Delivery Management through to challenging those who consider themselves an expert.
