      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

      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
