Human Complexity is the branch of Complexity science relevant to teams and modern organisations. Together with Lean and Agile Software Development, Human Complexity is one of the pillars of modern ways of working. With the constantly accelerating rate of change in technology and the markets, and with users, customers and competitors that are hyperconnected, understanding Human Complexity today is useful more than ever.

This book describes 15 practical applications of Human Complexity in the context of software and digital products development. And it also suggests a new strategy for introducing teams and organisations to Human Complexity, based on the principle of acting your way into the new Complexity thinking.

The 15 practices help to skip over the most common misunderstandings on Complexity that are still widespread nowadays. The strategy for introducing Complexity comes from the author's experience working with various senior leaders, managers, teams, and organisations. And it builds on the lessons learned the hard way from failures and from what ultimately proved to work well.

Finally, the book connects the dots among all the practices presented and offers a glimpse into the modern organisations able to cope with and exploit Complexity, their traits and characteristics.

The book is for modern leaders, managers, facilitators, change agents (Scrum Masters, Agile Coaches), and team members.

The practices in this book are inspired by the work of Joseph Pelrine, David S. Alberts, Ralph Stacey, and Dave Snowden. This book also includes original contributions from Dean Latchana and Liz Keogh.

This book has been improved thanks to the precious feedback from Joseph Pelrine, Sunil Mundra, Dave Snowden, Brett Ansley, Ilias Bartolini, Carlo Beschi, Maurizio Pedriale, Peter Fessel, Bülent Duagi, Tom Northwood, Antonia Greensides, David Legge, Katya Kolmogorova, Greg Franklin, Corrado De Sanctis, Michael Park, Vicenç García Altés, Simon Reindl, Carlo Volpi.
