Hi,
For me it is not a book but a certification that I did lately and it is the PSK1 (Professional Scrum with Kanban) on https://www.scrum.org/
I took the course with Louis-Philippe Carignan (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lpcarignan/) and it was really eye opener for me.
I was something I really needed and I felt it was missing in my day to day role, as a Scrum Master
I really really think in the near future, when teams will work with Scrum there will be no way to dissociate with Flow Metrics
It is the way of the future, there is so much value to extract from it!
For me the next step is Advance Professional Applied Metrics Certification from prokanban.org
https://prokanban.org/professional-applied-metrics/
I hope it helps you
My last 5 books have been:
Corkscrew Solutions – Clark Ching (who does great small books about ToC)
The Icarus Paradox – Danny Miller (how the success of businesses doom them to failure)
Practical DataOps – Harvinder Atwal, which is also a great agile/lean/ToC primer
The Fifth Discipline – Peter M. Senge, on building learning organisations
Lean Software Development from Concept to Cash – The Poppendiecks
Outside of that, 5 recommends would be
Out of the Crisis! – W Edwards Deming
Accelerate! – Forsgren, Humble and Kim
Wardley Mapping – Simon Wardley
Coaching Agile Teams – Lyssa Adkins
Team Topologies – Mathew Skelton, Manuel Pais
