Today we finished another successful Book Sprint, this time in Seattle with F5. A group of F5 engineers from different areas pooled their expertise to create an Operations Guide for two Big-IP modules, basically a guard dog of the Internet. During very intensive five days of work, the group produced collaboratively 25k words of highly precise technical language and 22 pretty illustrations. This new resource aims to make the customer experience easier and better.

Jeanne Lewis, project manager F5 Networks and the company organizer of this Book Sprint, expressed her gratitude to the BS team and sum up their experience with these words:

“The F5 Operations Guides exemplifies F5’s commitment to quality, customer focus, and innovative solutions and services.  Using a collaborative agile methodology, like the process facilitated by BookSprints, we produced a high quality technical guide meeting the needs of our customers. We are thrilled to produce content our customers can use in multiple formats like PDF and ePub. ”
