HISTORY BEHIND DPBoK ™

This work is in part derived from material developed by Forrester Analyst Charles Betz between 2014 and 2017 for use in teaching in the Graduate Programs in Software Engineering at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, USA, for SEIS 660 (IT Infrastructure Management), later replaced by SEIS 664 (Information Technology Delivery). Graduate Programs in Software at University of St. Thomas offers Masters’ degrees in Software Engineering, Data Science, Information Technology, and Software Management. It is the largest program of its kind in the US and emphasizes rigorous, realistic preparation of practitioners. No suitable collegiate texts were available providing comprehensive survey coverage of the Digital/Lean/Agile transition and its impacts on IT management generally, so this material was developed collaboratively, incrementally, and iteratively via an open Github project over the course of three years.
