I read How to Craft an Engineering Strategy.
This book presents "strategy" in an engineering organization as a concrete procedure rather than an abstract idea. It packs in ways to avoid the hollow slogans and disconnected ideals that many teams fall into.
It grounds strategy by moving from diagnosing the current state, to setting direction, to translating that into concrete action. It offers a template for stacking technical decisions along the organization's context instead of momentary preference.
Anyone who feels uneasy about the word "strategy" will sharpen their view of it by reading this.
