Sustainable Software Development: An Agile Perspective<\/a> <\/strong>
This book describes the mind-set and practices required to create products that balance rapid releases with long-term sustainability and achieve both rich functionality and high quality. It is based on my work experience over the past 25+ years in the software industry.

p. 177: second paragraph in Keystone Species<\/em> call-out: “…would cause the entire ecosystem to fall<\/strong> apart, …”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
