Bas Vodde on LeSS, LeSS Huge and Descaling for Agility Jul 13, 2020

This is the Engineering Culture Podcast, from the people behind InfoQ.com and the QCon conferences. In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Bas Vodde, one of the formulators of Large Scale Scrum (LeSS) about how LeSS is designed to descale an organisation rather than scaling up to cope with complexity Why listen to this podcast: • LeSS is based on the idea of de-scaling and reducing complexity rather than scaling to cope with complexity • A characteristic of LeSS adoptions is that the concepts of projects and programs tend to completely disappear in favour of product-based working • With LeSS, you have always one Product Owner for the entire product. Product owners per team are considered to be an exceptionally bad idea from a LeSS perspective • LeSS is based on having largely stable, cross-functional teams working on customer centric functionality • LeSS is based on a set of ten principles which guide the approach, and then imperical feedback based on experiments and constant learning More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2WcEiwy You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2WcEiwy

Quinn Slack of Sourcegraph on Moving to Fully Remote and Zoomcations Jul 06, 2020

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Quinn Slack, CEO of Sourcegraph, about becoming a fully remote company, ways to improve communication and collaboration and the value of Zoomcations Why listen to this podcast: • If working remotely really is optional then it’s really important not to put any subtle pressure that says to people that they need to be in the office – it causes stress and confusion • Coming into a half-empty office feels like being in a disaster movie, and generates subtle pressure on people to come into the office • Working remotely is a forcing function that causes you to tackle problems which get ignored when working in person, such as how you onboard new people and how you encourage collaboration • Making all policies and way-of-working public and visible enhances collaboration and communication • Zoomcations (taking a week and working completely asynchronously, without attending any synchronous meetings) allow for deep work and expose communication & collaboration shortcomings in organisation systems More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2ZLdzIq You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2ZLdzIq

Steve Adolph on Product Management, Product Ownership and Business Agility Jul 01, 2020

In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Steve Adolph about the role of the product owner, the rock crusher for user stories and bridging the gap between “the business” and IT Tags: Agile, Agile 2019, Agile conferences, product management, product ownership, business agility, user stories, MVP, MMF Why listen to this podcast: • The role of the product owner often hides the complexity of product management and upstream activities designed to ensure we build the right product • A product backlog should not be like a stack of plates – every item the same size – rather it is like a rock crusher where large items are further away and as they get closer they are broken down into more granular pieces • A good minimum viable product is an experiment designed to answer a specific set of questions about the value and utility of some aspect of a product • Minimum marketable feature set is what is the minimum set of features that we can put out there that people will actually buy and use • The artificial divide between IT and business in many organizations is an inhibitor to generating real value More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2BrWI5p You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2BrWI5p

In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Lanette Creamer about the need for technical skills by testers and the importance of exploratory testing. Why listen to this podcast: • Despite the importance and value it provides, software testing is not a particularly respected profession • Testers with development skills and developers with testing skills can communicate effectively with each other and pairing results in faster bug identification and removal • Unit tests are an asset of confidence • Testers have an ethical responsibility to think beyond the intended use of the code, considering what could happen and how the product could be misused • Exploratory testing is an approach where instead of trying to prove that the software works, the goal is discovery More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/3hQAiuP You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/3hQAiuP

Scott Ambler on Disciplined Agile and Agile Beyond Software Teams Jun 15, 2020

In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Scott Ambler of Disciplined Agile about the DA toolkit and taking agile beyond software devlopment Why listen to this podcast • Disciplined Agile is a toolkit which provides a view of agile adoption at four levels – software development, DevOps, IT departments and whole enterprise • The toolkit provides context and questions to help you to make better choices for the specific context each team is working in and to do process improvement • Consistency across teams should not be a goal of agile adoption – each team is different, and they must inspect and adapt in ways that work best for their context. There is no one size fits all • Guided continuous improvement gives teams and organisations a head start on improvement by identifying patterns that have worked elsewhere, showing the choices available and the trade-offs that need to be made between different approaches • Good governance is all about motivation, enablement, monitoring and transparency, ideally with an automated framework – not bureaucracy and manual checks. Transparency over false predictability More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/3fwQyiZ You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/3fwQyiZ

In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Steve Crago about how leaders need to be coaches, being a good mentor and facilitating effective meetings Why listen to this podcast • There is an expectation that leaders are able to be effective coaches for their teams today • There are tools such as the Leadership Circle Profile that can help you understand your own strengths and weaknesses • You don’t necessarily need to work on weaknesses – often enhancing areas of strength can give better results than focusing on improving areas of weakness • To effectively mentor someone in an area you need to have deep knowledge and experience working in that domain • Facilitation is a skillset that is about helping others achieve their goals in a collaborative session More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2Yk1g5s You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2Yk1g5s

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Derek Weeks of Sonatype about the results of the 2020 DevSecOps Community Survey and the All Day DevOps conference. Why listen to this podcast: • If you’re doing DevOps correctly then DevSecOps is already a part of it • Organisations with mature DevOps practices have more security tools and security is more tightly integrated into the overall environment • Organisations with mature teams have a higher percentage of happier developers within their organizations than the immature ones • Happy developers are 3.6 times more likely to pay attention to security • In organisations with unhappy developers the primary cause of friction in the development process is management, in happy environments it is other developers More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/379gYEf You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/379gYEf

Advices for Managers to Promote Mental Wellness in Turbulent Times May 26, 2020

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods spoke to Dr Michelle O’Sullivan and Douglas Talbot about how managers and team leads can support the mental wellness of their teams through turbulent times Why listen to this podcast: • Good work is one of the best things for our mental health. It gives us a sense of purpose and it provides us with a community • Mental wellness is about how to speak with people, having open conversations, giving people practical support when they need it, and also just creating a safe space and a good culture within your team. Most of it is just about good line management in general. • Checking in in about how people are sleeping can be a safe conversation and can be good indicator of potential deeper issues • So if somebody is quite stressed by the pandemic or what's happening with their loved ones, or someone's sick, these are very real fears, and we don't want to pathologize what is a very normal reaction to an abnormal situation • As a manager it is important for you to model the behaviour you want to see in your team, be vulnerable and open about your own fears and concerns, which gives others permission to be vulnerable too More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2ZGTaGa You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2ZGTaGa

In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Chris Bailey about his book Hyperfocus and techniques for productivity hacking. Why listen to this podcast: • For many of us, having available time is not the problem – it’s having available attention • We all have a chronotype which shows the time of day when we are most productive • Productivity is about more than just managing time – it’s about managing time, energy and attention • Research shows that we tend to focus on one thing for only 35-40 seconds before being distracted • Tasks that lead to procrastination have seven things in common: Those are whether a task is boring, whether it’s frustrating, whether it's difficult, whether it's ambiguous, whether it is unstructured, whether it's lacking in personal meaning, and whether it's lacking in intrinsic rewards.

Jeff DeLuca on FDD and Transforming Large Organisations to Product Thinking Oct 08, 2019

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Jeff DeLuca, founder of Feature Driven Development and an early agile development pioneer, on the background to FDD, Java modelling with colour and transforming large organisations to product thinking. Why listen to this podcast: • The first value statement of the Agile Manifesto (Individuals and interactions over processes and tools) is the key to agility, and yet agile is often equated with processes and tools today • In the traditional, siloed environment, the structure that delivers value (the project) is transient and moving to a NoProjects/product structure results in better outcomes and higher value for the whole organisation • Aligning KPIs and metrics with business outcomes across the whole cross functional team results in faster problem resolution and better products • Changing just one part of the organisation can have very detrimental impacts on other parts and can be detrimental overall and needs to be approached with care • Be wary of salespeople selling silver bullets – there is no easy answer and simple solution to the complex problems organisations face when brining in new ways of working More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2ASa1bq You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2ASa1bq

Why listen to this podcast: • Radical candor is the behaviour which comes about when people both care personally and are able to challenge directly in a relationship • Telling each other about problems or praising each other in a way that is productive is difficult and seldom done well • Radical candor is first and foremost about soliciting feedback and criticism - ask the question “what can I do, or stop doing, that will make it easier to work with me?” • It is even more important to give public praise than it is to give private criticism – recognise and encourage positive behaviour • The best way to encourage radical candor is to be open to it yourself – demonstrate the behaviour you want to encourage in others More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2TgZUZu You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2TgZUZu

Why listen to this podcast: • High-performance design is design that fits with the customers needs and is successful • Design is worthless unless it is creating ROI in some way • Design is not “one thing” – there are many aspects which need to be addressed and these aspects have tension between them • All design is human experience design • We’re almost always wrong in what we think will be a good design, so a culture that is comfortable to be wrong and learn is critical for success • Ask “if we changed one thing, what possibilities could that open up for us” and make the change to see what the results are More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2UxxDdj You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2UxxDdj

Dominic Price on Why Agile is Not Always the Answer Nov 29, 2018

In this podcast recorded at the Agile 2018 conference Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Dominic Price from Atlassian about his opening keynote at the Agile 2018 conference. Why listen to this podcast: • Agile is an answer to teams working together effectively, but it is not the only answer • A lot of large-scale “transformations” are about AGILE being thrust around as a compliance regime where the measures of success are the following of rituals • The example of an organisation who moved from “agile transformation” to “new ways of working”. The difference is that “agile” is not the only answer and in a “transformation” there is an expectation of an end-state whereas new ways of working are continually evolving • Many of the things we call “soft skills” are in fact very hard and they are the key to success in making change in organisations • The need to focus on the mental health and wellbeing of people in the organisation – we believe we are custodians of our people More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2AxhT1o You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2AxhT1o

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Jim Rose of Circle CI about building a great engineering culture in a distributed, remote team. Why listen to this podcast: • Hiring engineers is a difficult task • Working in a completely remote organisation takes a particular type of person • It’s crucial that the engineering teams understand and empathise with their customers • You won’t find new and creative ways to solve problems unless you experiment and try new things, and some of those things won’t work • Ensure that your recruiting and hiring practices match the values of the company and that the onboarding process reinforces this • Ensure there is no “in vs out” – ensure everyone has the experience irrespective of where they are located More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2PB0oHh You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2PB0oHh

Why listen to this podcast: • The best software is software that people • The only secret to great engineering is simplicity • No matter how hard you try to enable people to take the 10% time, they take their deadlines to heart and the natural inclination is to focus on the work rather than the learning time • Teams should not focus on the backlog items they are completing, rather on the difference they are making for the end user of the product • Running a conference is tough, but by engaging the people in the event organisation it can be powerfully successful More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2zdk21C You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2zdk21C

Fred George on Solving Fuzzy Problems Oct 15, 2018

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Fred George about the need to solve “fuzzy problems” and approaches to doing so. Why listen to this podcast: • Fuzzy problems are ones which don’t have precise answers but they are the places where most money is being made in the modern economy • Applying the thinking that works for traditional problems to fuzzy problems causes frustration because the underlying assumption that the problem will have a single solution is wrong • The rules for solving fuzzy problems are related to the speed of trying out ideas and learning rather and so competitive advantage accrues to fast delivery • Most organisations have a mix of traditional and fuzzy problems – segregate the teams and use the appropriate approach for the problem type • If you’re doing agile the same way in all your teams you’re probably not doing agile anymore More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2J1xBpg You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2J1xBpg

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Linda Rising about Daniel Kahneman’s work on Thinking Fast, Thinking Slow, overcoming bias in the employment process and resisting social pressure in decision making. Why listen to this podcast: • Daniel Kahneman’s book Thinking Fast Thinking Slow based on the research he did with Amos Tversky into how the human brain works, for which Kahneman win the 2011 Nobel Prize for Economics, is hard to read. Linda wants to make the ideas more accessible • One part is known as System One – the part that reacts quickly, never sleeps, where our cognitive biases reside and is the home of our expertise • The second part known as System Two is the conscious mind, somewhat associated with the prefrontal cortex, it is the part that sleeps and wakes and where considered decision making happens • In the hiring process, and other important decisions, it is vital to involve more than one person because awareness of the possibility of bias enables you to question each other’s decision-making process and invoke System Two to examine decisions more objectively • Social pressure results in biases being reinforced, but a single dissenting voice can and des change the direction of bad decision making More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2NgG8Fm You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2NgG8Fm

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Bernie Maloney of Persistent Systems about servant leadership and bringing out human potential. Why listen to this podcast: - Servant leadership is about creating a space through which other people can succeed and stepping back to let them do so. It matters because it requires empathy and compassion. - Organizations that don’t change to the new ways of working are being disrupted out of existence - Teams need to learn new ways of working, especially collaboration over individual specialization - There are no models and structures in place to help leaders make the jump to letting go and trusting their teams to do the work – this is new territory.

In this podcast recorded at the Agile India conference Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to John Le Drew about solving technical problems by addressing the people issues. Why listen to this podcast: • Very diverse teams will naturally have conflict, but they still produce better outcomes despite the journey being more of a struggle to get there • Cognitive biases are real and are an evolutionary survival tactic and we need to be very mindful of them • We all like to think that we aren’t biased, but the imbalances in team formation and hiring practices are still perpetuated • We can’t reprogram our brains to remove biases, the way to overcome them is to be aware of them • If you address your people as unique human beings with individual needs and work out how to support them in the best way possible for their needs then you will get better outcomes More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2x79tfD You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2x79tfD

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Aurynn Shaw about how DevOps, Microservices and other “technical” approaches are in fact cultural constraints on technical ideas and what’s needed to make the culture sustainable. Key takeaways: * Running and testing a program on the developer desktop is not running the program * You must rethink the approach to building the software based on the way it will be deployed * DevOps isn’t about the tooling – it is about the context in which we find ourselves * Sustainable DevOps is about understanding the system that makes up the organisation ecosystem and what needs to change to enable the new ways of working * Design the system to help prevent dangerous actions rather than laying blame when something goes wrong * As a technologist you want to say “yes” – fix the systems around you that force you to say “no” * When examining the system we will discover that we’ve done things that we’re not happy about and must accept that they happened without apportioning blame

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Sanjeev Sharma, a Distinguished Engineer at IBM, on the challenges for large enterprises adopting DevOps at scale and what it really means to have a DevOps culture Why listen to this podcast: • There is no single “why” for adopting DevOps – each organisation is unique and the adoption approach should be based around what they are trying to optimize • DevOps is not a methodology – it is a set of guiding principles • As more and more parts of the business get to the higher levels of maturity you get to DevOps adoption at scale • The biggest challenge to adopting DevOps in a large enterprise is overcoming cultural inertia • The cultural impact of DevOps needs to be about building trust across silos in the organisation • There is a need for DevOps coaches who have skills that go deep into the operations areas, not just rebranded Agile coaches More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2wmiDEv You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2wmiDEv

Michael Cote from Pivotal on Programming the Business Aug 13, 2018

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Michael Cote from Pivotal Labs about “programming the business” to enable support for automation and moving towards DevOps. Why listen to this podcast: • It’s possible to move from deploying on a yearly basis to a daily basis • Adopting a new process or approach often improves things dramatically, frequently because what was being done before was not effective rather than because of the effectiveness of the new way • Change the structures so teams are focused on products, not projects, ensure all the roles needed are in the team and that they are fully dedicated to working on the product • The rift in many organizations between “the business” and IT means that business people don’t expect the software to be agile and responsive to their needs • Businesses which were founded in the tech space are inherently agile and they run using these approaches all the time. The challenge is bringing “traditional” businesses down the same path More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2P3dud4 You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2P3dud4

Why listen to this podcast: • Building SpaceShipOne was an iterative and incremental project • There are many parallels between the development of SpaceShipOne and an agile software product • Dan’s definition of a flying car is one that you can drive on the freeway and to the store, then drive to an airport and take off and fly to your next destination • There are a number of debates about the best designs for flying cars with multiple different approaches to addressing the challenges • Dan’s approach is to build a flying car which will fit in a home garage using well understood technologies and incremental development More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2KfKpYo You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2KfKpYo

Jeff Dalton on Teaching Leaders How to Teach Jul 27, 2018

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Jeff Dalton about the challenges of agile adoption in large organizations and the need to teach agile leaders how to teach so they can lead the cultural shift that is needed Why listen to this podcast: • The marketing of agility is going far better than the actual on the ground adoption • When process-centric, low trust organisations adopt agile they bring that approach to their agile practices • The link between the soft skills and the hard technical practices of agile is what enables high quality and real agility, but many senior managers haven’t made the connection for themselves • There is no need for a new framework – the need is to enable leaders to leverage agility and teach that to other leaders and to their teams • The re-emergence of a focus on craftsmanship is a great thing, but it is not enough More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2LOc5bq You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2LOc5bq

Edith Harbaugh of Launch Darkly on Engineering a Good Engineering Culture Jul 20, 2018

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Edith Harbaugh of Launch Darkly on the way she and her cofounder have deliberately engineered their organisation’s culture Why listen to this podcast: • A good engineering culture is one where there is a lot of respect for different people and roles • Start by good intent on behalf of your colleagues – everyone is doing their best • Be open to continually learning – mistakes will happen, learn from them in a blame-free way • Another aspect of respect is ensuring meetings are purposeful, have the right people involved, have a clear agenda and stay on time • To build mastery it’s OK to be bad at something in the beginning and deliberately get better • Sharing the reason why the customer chooses the product, rather than how much was earned from the sale, is motivational More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2LewoiU You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2LewoiU

Why listen to this podcast: • Everyone has a story to tell • Make sure you understand who you are speaking to and what it is that you can do to help them • It’s important to structuring your message in such a way as to make it easy for your audience to understand • All communication should have a goal which has three parts - information, emotion and action (what, so what, now what) • Overcoming imposter syndrome – most audiences are there to learn, they want you to be successful • It takes bravery to admit that we’re not great communicators and start on a path of learning to improve

Pooja Brown on Building Great Engineering Cultures Jun 25, 2018

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke with Pooja Brown, VP of Engineering at Docusign about building great engineering culture.

Jarrod Overson Offers Advice for Aspirant and Current Technical Leaders Jun 18, 2018

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke with Jarrod Overson of Shape Security about the reason for and the content in the Beyond Being an Individual Contributor track at QCon San Francisco, and he offers advice for current and aspirant technical leaders. Why listen to this podcast: • Many technologists get the opportunity to move into leadership roles but receive no training or guidance about what skills such a role needs • Solving other people’s problems as quickly as possible is an important aspect of a leadership role – this is very different to being an individual contributor where the focus is on solving your own problems • Advice for aspirant leaders: assume you are in the role you want and practice doing everything you think should be done in that role • There is a bias among software developers against what is perceived as “old” knowledge – practices that have been around for decades and centuries – this is very wrong • The problems of software engineering have not yet all been solved so there is still a lot of learning to be done, you can’t just repeat what has been done elsewhere before and expect it to work • Software engineering is a creative, artistic skill done by creative, artistic people and a leader needs to understand how such people are motivated • Culture and motivation comes from the top of a company and spreads all the way down More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2HXSIXF You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2HXSIXF

In this podcast recorded at Agile 2017, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke Troy Magennis about his talks at the conference on “I love the smell of data in the morning” and “10 ways to choose what to start next” Why listen to this podcast: • The absence of data means all you have is an opinion • The simplest way to start gathering data in software development is to put the starting date/time on one corner, the ending date/time on another corner and use different colour post-its for different types of work • It’s the trend that’s important, not any one week of data • Your job is to make better decisions with the least amount of effort • Context is hard to spot if you are in the middle of it – you need to be able to step away and see from a different perspective • The job of a leader is to help the people who report to you understand the bigger picture and the impact of their decisions on the whole More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2HAIBcs You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2HAIBcs

Katherine Kirk, Sally Freudenberg & Chris Corriere on Inclusive Collaboration Mar 26, 2018

In this podcast recorded at Agile 2017, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Katherine Kirk, Sally Freudenberg & Chris Corriere on Inclusive Collaboration, Neurodiversity and Creating Safe Spaces Why listen to this podcast: • Neurodiversity is the idea that things like autism, bi-polar disorder, dyslexia and ADHD are not “disabilities”, rather they are normal variations in the human genome • The tech industry is an industry of thinkers and we know that diverse teams are more effective, so embracing neurodiversity is a sensible approach • Create environments that include collaborative space as well as spaces suited for quiet, isolated individual contemplation or work • A robust system is absolutely vital in continuous environments – it enables continuous innovation and continuous delivery and supports a mindset of continuous learning • Many of our agile practices are suited for extroverted, fast thinkers and this disadvantages the contemplators who need time to reflect before contributing their ideas • Insight is the new market differentiator – insight comes from people and they need a creative environment in order to generate insights More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/2GaLbEJ You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2GaLbEJ

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Mike Bryzek – CTO and founder of Flow.io about his background in philanthropy, his current role at Flow.io and how they have empowered developers and adopted testing in production in order to raise the quality of their software. Why listen to this podcast: • The value of volunteerism and philanthropy for good through focusing on outcomes • Testing in production helps make higher quality software • The importance of instrumenting the software so we get feedback in real time • Allowing the engineer to own the decision about when to release the software and be accountable for that decision results in better products because the engineers who build them carefully consider what they need to do to get the product truly ready for release • Testing in production may seem scary now, but it’s just another tool in the toolbox of building quality software – it’s the only way we can guarantee that the software is actually working as expected in the environment that it is intended for More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ http://bit.ly/2sVXPoV You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: http://bit.ly/2sVXPoV

Harsh Sinha on Building Culture at TransferWise Feb 19, 2018

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Harsh Sinha, CTO of TransferWise about deliberately designing organisational culture. Why listen to this podcast: • The organisation is structured in lots of autonomous, independent teams each one of which is focused on meeting a specific customer need • For a startup the biggest competitive edge is speed, and this organisation structure supports and enables speed of decision making and responding to customer needs • Principles such as weak code ownership allow rapid changes within clearly defined constraints • While this may sound like a recipe for chaos it actually results in stronger ownership and better customer focus • Better decision making comes about because the people who make the decisions are the ones closest to the customer problems The difference between software development and product engineering. Engineers are expected to be proactive and go deeper into understanding the customer problem, not just working from More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ http://bit.ly/2obRelB You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: http://bit.ly/2obRelB

Rich Mironov on Product Development Trends Feb 12, 2018

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Rich Mironov about the current trends in product development Why listen to this podcast: • There is nothing more wasteful in the world than beautifully building a product that no one wants to buy • Everywhere in the world engineering teams are similar to other engineering teams and sales teams are similar to other sales teams and the two groups are completely opposite to each other • Dropping time and funding allocated to the quality/infrastructure improvements is similar to joining a health club and never going – you won’t get better and fitter unless you go • If you can’t cope with the role which has lots of responsibility and little authority then maybe a product role isn’t right for you • Bringing the dev team into close contact with customers has been a goal and a topic of conversation for a long time, but very few organisations are actually doing this • Good product managers frame problems, they don’t demand features More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ http://bit.ly/2GaezdT You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: http://bit.ly/2GaezdT

Why listen to this podcast: • A lot of formal education is very theory based rather than teaching hands-on development skills • A Stack-Overflow survey in which 60% of respondents describe themselves as self-taught developers • A high-pressure, high performance environment where students learn by doing results in faster learning and better retention • All of this information and teaching is available online, however when trying to teach yourself online you don’t know what you don’t know so it will probably take longer to find what you actually need to learn • Employers are struggling to find the talent they need to continue to grow their businesses • The higher education system is ill-equipped to supply the people needed for the jobs that are available • Challenging the “it takes four years to learn something” mentality – people can and do learn things quickly and deeply when given the opportunity to do so More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ http://bit.ly/2E5Gaw2 You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: http://bit.ly/2E5Gaw2

Ramon Harrington of Vistaprint on Choosing What Not To Build Jan 02, 2018

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Ramon Harrington of Vistaprint about his QCon New York talk on Rapid Prototyping. Why listen to this podcast: • Putting engineers in front of customers and having conversations results in far better understanding and empathy for the customer’s needs • Be prepared to launch before you’ve built everything you think the product needs in order to avoid building features people don’t want • In engineering there is often a “right” answer, in product identification there isn’t – you don’t know until you try it out • Launching early with a reduced feature set can result in more engaged customers because their important problems are addressed first, and the product will be improved incrementally • Sometimes the software that you don’t write is more important than the software that you do write More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ http://bit.ly/2qfuJQ7 You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Check the landing page on InfoQ: http://bit.ly/2qfuJQ7

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Kent McDonald and Heather Mylan-Mains on their talk at Agile 2017 about Socratic Questioning Why listen to this podcast: - Socratic questioning n approach to learning which is based on getting to answers through a question-based dialogue - Frequently what is presented at the beginning of a product investigation is a proposed solution rather than exploring the real need - There are six categories of questions to expose assumptions, change perspectives and delve into an issue or opportunity - There are other techniques which are needed when there is uncertainty about the existence of a problem or opportunity - This approach is not just restricted to elicitation – it can be used very effectively in a team situation when exploring options and identifying challenges More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ http://bit.ly/2AX6pX8 You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Want to see extented shownotes?

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, talks to Anders Wallgren, CTO of Electric Cloud about the adoption of DevOps, containers and microservices and the dangers of vanity metrics. Why listen to this podcast: - Adoption of containers is increasing – one survey indicated 42% of organizations surveyed are using them for something - Container orchestration platforms are good at managing the challenges around scaling and resilience - Architecture is a significant challenge for agility and DevOps – the need to move away from monoliths towards microservices requires a fundamental rethink of our products - Software organisations who are still building monolithic applications do so at their own peril - These ideas are not new, and we have known about them for decades – it’s not the quality of the daily work that matters, it’s the improvement in the quality of the daily work - Focus on actionable metrics – don’t show me a metric unless there is something I can do about it or it is something I should take action about More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ http://bit.ly/2BiDXvm You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Want to see extented shownotes?

Jason Yip on Removing Friction in Development and DevOps at Spotify Nov 22, 2017

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Jason Yip about removing friction in the developer experience and DevOps at Spotify Why listen to this podcast: • Friction is the feeling that your environment is fighting you – examples include poorly named variables in code, editors configured incorrectly, access to environments etc • These things often seem small individually, but together they significantly and slow down development activities • Cultivate refined annoyance; not tolerating these issues but actively resolving them • Challenges often come mainly from rapid growth – every design will fail if you just try to scale it larger and larger, you need to redesign for larger contexts, what worked yesterday may not work tomorrow and needs to be adapted • Be careful not to locally optimize one part of the system at the expense of the overall throughput More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ http://bit.ly/2hVBH9A You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq

Josh Evans on DevOps at Netflix Nov 13, 2017

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Josh Evans, former engineering manager at Netflix on how Netflix does DevOps and the freedom and responsibility culture that undermines their way of working. Why listen to this podcast: • There are many interpretations of the term DevOps, it is a useful shorthand for a wide variety of technologies and approaches • “You build it, you run it” is the concrete application of the freedom and responsibility culture • When building a platform tool make it so easy to use that the product teams are not tempted to try and build something for themselves • Product teams are free to experiment and learn, which can feel chaotic and is a valuable part of the freedom and responsibility culture • The value of blameless and safe incident reviews – the goal is to learn and find patterns and use that information to present whole classes of failure from happening in the future • Don’t view the value stream in a fragmented way – see the whole end to end system with all its interactions and dependencies and optimize the system as a cohesive whole rather than different tools and domains More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ http://bit.ly/2mtCIr1 You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Want to see extented shownotes?

Lee Cunningham on the 11th State of Agile Survey Results Oct 09, 2017

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke Lee Cunningham of VersionOne about the results from the State of Agile Survey Why listen to this podcast: • Agile is not just something that developers do – it’s an enabler of business outcomes • The emergence of multi-modal organisations where there are multiple different approaches being used simultaneously which holds them back from progressing effectively • Some organisations are adopting a Taylorism approach to agile adoption – get experts to tell us what to do and control the teams to abide by those rules • The emergence of business value as an important measure, over productivity (although productivity is a necessary precondition for business value) • Buying an expensive tool doesn’t make your agile adoption successful, in the same way that buying an expensive treadmill doesn’t make you fit – both need to be used effectively to deliver any value More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ http://bit.ly/2y6NKnY You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Want to see extented shownotes?

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Jez Humble about his Agile 2017 Keynote talk in which he refuted many of the common excuses why “continuous delivery won’t work here”. He also gave a scathing response to the “Manifestbro” controversy which recently unfolded at Google. Why listen to this podcast: Key takeaways about DevOps: - There are many reasons cited for not adopting DevOps – the real reasons are cultural and architectural issues - It takes commitment and effort at every level to rearchitect not just the products but the organisation to support the new ways of working - Even if you are not deploying every day, the practices of DevOps deliver huge dividends around reducing development costs, improving quality and maintainability and driving shorter lead - It’s not about repeating what someone else has done, it’s the ability to make mistakes and learn from them which makes teams and organisations successful Key takeaways on the gender diversity challenge: - In 2017 we should have come beyond the need to address these issues but the state of the industry means we must - There is extensive research that shows the differences are tiny between the genders, and this cannot explain the vast disparity in representation in the industry by women and people of colour - The harm done by perpetuating the myths around gender differences - We all have a duty to create an inclusive environment - Examine your organisation’s systems, policies and practices for the visible elements of discrimination and fix them – check salaries and career advancement by role and if there is a gender or race difference in the rates of pay or advancement then fix them - Introducing Inclusive Collaboration and calling for participation and having the conversations about the many aspects of diversity in the workplace today More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ http://bit.ly/2hYYH6G You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional software development. bit.ly/24x3IVq Subscribe: www.youtube.com/infoq Like InfoQ on Facebook: bit.ly/2jmlyG8 Follow on Twitter: twitter.com/InfoQ Follow on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/infoq Want to see extented shownotes?

Alanna Brown and Nicole Forsgren on the State of DevOps Report 2017 Jun 12, 2017

Manuel Pais, InfoQ Lead Editor for DevOps, talks to Alanna Brown Director of Technical Product Marketing at Puppet and Nicole Forsgren, PhD in Management Information Systems and CEO at DORA, on the State of DevOps Report 2017. Why listen to this podcast: - Three new areas of research in 2017: leadership, automation and organizational performance for non-financial organizations. - Transformational leaders have a clear business vision and communicate in an inspiring way, and provide intellectual stimulation, care for their followers' needs, and praise accomplishments. - High performing not-for-profit organizations (such as government) are twice as likely to achieve their goals, just like commercial organizations. - Medium performers are in the middle of the J curve effect where performance initially improves (via quick wins) but then gets worse (as technical debt surfaces) until it definitely improves again (for those that resist reverting to old ways). - Survey data analysis involves rigorous statistical integrity checks, followed by data correlation, prediction and inferencial tests to gather new insights. - C-level executives have to chose between ignoring technological transformation or leveraging DevOps to keep their organization competitive via improved technical practices and a culture of continuous improvement.

John Willis on DevOps Evolution, Leadership and Burnout Jun 05, 2017

Manuel Pais, InfoQ Lead Editor for DevOps, talks to John Willis, Director of Ecosystem Development for Docker and co-author of the "DevOps Handbook", on DevOps evolution, leadership and burnout. Why listen to this podcast: - DevOps got watered down along the way, but its principles and practices will stay. - People can learn the technical side of DevOps with training but they need to follow up on case studies from organizations that went through similar journeys. - Still early days to be able to distill what are the good and bad DevOps leadership practices, but we at least know that blameless environments are much more productive. - We are missing a burnout survey in DevOps, number of people affected probably staggering high but no one knows for sure, so the problem gets underrated. - The new view on human error is that we need to look at the system that allowed people to make the mistakes in the first place.

Rosalind Radcliffe on the Non-Challenges to Continuous Delivery on Mainframe May 29, 2017

Manuel Pais, InfoQ Lead Editor for DevOps, talks to Rosalind Radcliffe, Distinguished Engineer at IBM, about mainframe software delivery, from technical evolution to the mindset change required to adopt DevOps and modern development practices. Why listen to this podcast: - Large organizations have not evolved practices in mainframe systems due to cultural challenges, not technical. - Most mainframe applications still have high business value but don't take advantage of modern hardware. - Modern practices like TDD, code coverage, infrastructure-as-code and automated pipelines are possible today in mainframe. - Biggest problem in DevOps transformations is to exclude mainframe. There's no need for bi-modal IT because there is no constraint that mainframe must be slow to change. - Aging workforce is a particular issue around mainframe. Younger developers are not attracted by old school practices.

Gene Kim on Scaling DevOps and Learning from Courageous "Horses" at the DevOps Enterprise Summit May 22, 2017

In this podcast Manuel Pais, InfoQ Lead Editor for DevOps, talks to Gene Kim, co-author of the "DevOps Handbook" and "The Phoenix Project" books, on how to scale DevOps in large organizations ("horses") and the need for continuous learning and adaptation. Why listen to this podcast: - DevOps Enterprise Summit focuses on continuously learning from leaders elevating technical practices and cultural norms at large, complex organizations. - Remaining challenges in large organizations include largely outsourced IT workforces, rigid change management processes, and powerful regulatory offices. - Effective DevOps transformations require a certain political savvyness to protect teams and prevent initiatives getting killed too early. - It's not the org chart that dictates outcomes, it's how people act and react. Reorganization is far less important than setting cultural norms and expectations. - Metrics that matter in high performing organizations are code deployment lead time, deployment frequency, change success rate, or mean time to repair.

Exploring if Agile is Still Agile Dec 05, 2016

This is the Engineering Culture Podcast, from the people behind InfoQ.com and the QCon conferences. In this podcast recorded at the Agile 2016 conference, Shane Hastie, InfoQ Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, talks to five of the leading minds of Agile Management: Steve Denning, Ray Arell, Todd Little, Hendrik Esser and Steve Holyer. They explore the question “Is agile still agile?”, look at the challenges around agile development and product management, and what is needed for large scale agile transformation. Why listen to this podcast: - Agile is a mindset, not a set of processes or practices - The risks and dangers of packaged implementation of “agile” using process checkboxes without understanding why - Agile adoption is hard – simple but not easy - When agile practices are adopted for the wrong reasons it causes stress levels to go up and drives unsustainable behavioursIt’s not “twice the work in half the time”; it should be about twice the value with half the work - The Scrum role of Product Owner is broken - Product management is the hardest part of product development, irrespective of the development approachIn a complex world your only chance for survival is learning Notes and links can be found on InfoQ: http://bit.ly/2g2hWuR 4m:15s - Some teams can benefit from checkbox, packaged implementations of agility as a starting point but they must be able to evolve. 4m:30s - Agility is a journey – you need to be agile in mindset, based around continuous improvement. 4m:40s - The most agile teams are the ones who continually inspect and adapt their practices to work most effectively for their context. 5m:00s - Checkbox teams who follow every one of the practices without knowing why are unable to improve and are not effective. 5m:15s - It’s about understanding and getting to the heart of why – for your process and for your product. 5m:30s - The checkbox process is easy for companies to measure and doing so drives bad behaviour.

Business Analysis & Product Management in Agile Oct 10, 2016

This is the Engineering Culture Podcast, from the people behind InfoQ.com and the QCon conferences. In this podcast, Shane Hastie, InfoQ Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, talks to Kent McDonald, Steve Adolph and Ryland Leyton about the state of business analysis and product management in agile product development. They were participants in a weekend workshop where the Agile Alliance and the International Institute of Business Analysis were collaborating to produce a revised version of the Agile Extension to the Business Analysis Body of Knowledge. Why listen to this podcast: - Analysis skills are necessary for successful product development - We don’t question and challenge the rationale and strategic alignment of projects enough, which results in lots of waste from doing the wrong projects or building the wrong features in a project - The best return on investment that you can get is to stop wasting your money - Value is hard to define but crucial to identify; the definition of value will be different in every context - Agile methods provide for learning and rapid feedback, which enables us to optimize value and ensure strategic alignment in product development - User stories are conversation placeholders, not orders to be fulfilled Notes and links can be found on InfoQ: bit.ly/2e32o5X - 6m 20s Analysis skills reside in many different roles and doing analysis in agile development is far less prescriptive that has been the case. - 6m 44s You need to have a very comprehensive toolkit and have the ability to relate the tool needed to the context of the work being done. - 9m 13s Advanced organisations are changing when they utilise analysis skills to determine which initiatives should be worked on and how they align with organisation strategy; being able to review these decisions even after an initiative has started, stopping development work when it is no longer valuable.

Github’s Phil Haack on Moving from Engineering to Management Oct 04, 2016

This is the first in a new series of podcasts from the people behind InfoQ.com and the QCon conferences - the Engineering Culture Podcast. In this podcast, Wes Reisz, chair of the QCon conferences in San Francisco, London and New York talks to Phil Haack, an Engineering Director at GitHub focused on software pushed mostly to the desktop. He’s shipping software like GitHub Desktop, GitHub Extensions for Visual Studio and the Atom text editor. Haack joined GitHub in 2011 and is a prominent member of the .Net community. At Microsoft Phil was core to shipping NewGit and ASP.NET, MVC.NET. Why listen to this podcast: - There is often too much focus on the nitty-gritty details of software development practices but as you scale out to larger projects and teams the challenges are not technological- they are sociological. - Research shows that teams which are more diverse are more effective. - Engineers shifting to management should consider it a discipline like any other technical field; it’s not something that you should “just wing”. - Building an effective team requires trust and that allows candid discussions and healthy debates without disrupting the relationships. One-on-ones can be an effective way to do that. - To be an effective coach for engineers, a manager needs to be seen as a strong technical leader. Someone without technical credibility is generally not received well. Notes and links can be found on InfoQ: https://bit.ly/2L7Irg3 5m 10s The big problems we have are sociological, and frequently companies and engineers don’t pay enough attention to these problems because they try to focus on the technical practices instead; but the root cause is how people interact with each other and how they are working together. 5m 40s The talk covers some personal lessons learned and the research that backs those personal lessons. There is validated research that shows certain things make for more effective teams.
