2012 - Iterative Book Development Manifesto - Adam Hyde
Texto
For some time we have been talking about Iterative Book Development (IBD), so maybe it’s about time to unpack some of the ideas.
IDB is a book production process which focuses on smaller amounts of text (groups of chapters, chapter or chapter parts) and aims to move the content forward quickly through a collaborative process.
At first glance process sounds familiar to a software development process known as Agile Development. The Agile Development manifesto states
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
These concepts do not map directly onto book production. If there was a manifesto for IBD it might state that the value lies in:
Collaborative content production over single authorship
Collaboration and facilitation over ‘editors’ and ‘authors’
Engaged discourse over isolation
Completed chunks over incomplete volumes
Here and now production over sometime soon production
The values as such are applicable to a variety of contexts including Book Sprints but they can also be applied to book development of any kind.
