Ihr Weg zu geschäftlicher Agilität
Dr. Mik Kersten begann seine Karriere als Research Scientist bei Xerox PARC, wo er die erste aspektorientierte Entwicklungsumgebung schuf. Im Rahmen seiner Doktorarbeit in Informatik an der University of British Columbia leistete er anschließend Pionierarbeit bei der Integration von Entwicklungstools mit Agile- und DevOps. Aus dieser Forschung heraus gründete Mik Kersten Tasktop. Er hat über eine Million Zeilen Open-Source-Code geschrieben, die noch heute verwendet werden, und sieben erfolgreiche Open-Source- und kommerzielle Produkte auf den Markt gebracht. Darüber hinaus war er an einigen der umfangreichsten digitalen Transformationen der Welt beteiligt. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit erkannte er die fehlende Vernetzung zwischen Führungskräften und Technologiefachleuten. Seitdem arbeitet er an der Entwicklung neuer Tools und eines neuen Frameworks, dem Flow Framework™, um Software-Value-Stream-Netzwerke zu schaffen und die Umstellung von Projekten auf Produkte zu ermöglichen. Mik lebt mit seiner Familie in Vancouver, Kanada, und reist um die ganze Welt, um seine Vision von der Transformation der Softwareentwicklung mit anderen zu teilen. Zudem ist er der Autor von Project to Product, einem Buch, das IT-Organisationen hilft, im Software-Zeitalter zu bestehen und zu wachsen.
I’m delighted to announce that my book Project to Product will be released at the DevOps Enterprise Summit 2018 (Las Vegas), on Oct 22, 2018. As startups disrupt every market and tech giants pull further ahead of entrenched businesses, the majority of enterprise IT organizations are facing an existential crisis. Either they quickly become much...
Ever since I started bumping into him at countless conferences, the learning from my meetings with Gene Kim just keeps accelerating. I have never met anyone who can match Gene in channeling where the industry is at, seeing the vision for a better way, and bringing together the technologists and leaders who will get us...
Agile has won, and DevOps is now standard at startups worldwide. With all of the success stories we are hearing at nearly every conference we attend, why is it that the conversations within our conference rooms continue to bring up a lack of clear business results, or outright deployment and adoption failures? The success of...
Many organizations make the same mistakes when it comes to scaling Agile and DevOps and then attempt to rectify those mistakes by formulating a new strategy—only to miss the real reasons why the initiative failed. As someone who helps companies through software delivery transformations, I’ve seen my share of ineffective behaviors. What I find most...
Some of the most interesting problems in technology only surface at scale. For the past few years, the majority of Tasktops customers have been using Sync to achieve scaled Agile. Without tool chain integration, it is impossible to get hundreds or thousands of IT staff adopting enterprise Agile methodologies such as SAFe, DAD, Scrum.orgs Nexus...
The future is already here it’s just not very evenly distributed. William Gibson If youre looking to predict how things should work in the future, start by looking in the right places in the present. Innovations in technology, management and collaboration that will change the way we work are already up and running...
Over the course of 2015 I got exposed to many companies going through Lean software delivery transformations–some very successful, but many less so. Tasktops customer base grew dramatically in 2014 and that growth accelerated in 2015. So I decided to put conference presentations on pause and instead spend more of 2015 on the road meeting...
At last weeks DevOps Enterprise Summit we got to hear how industry leaders are transforming the way that software is built. Most speakers told stories of automating the build, release or continuous delivery pipeline, and the cultural transformation that followed. One talk stood out from all the others because it described a transformation that went...
Ive long taken inspiration from Peter Druckers caution that if you cant measure it, you cant manage it. Technological progress has been punctuated by advances in measurement, ranging from Galileos telescope to Intels obsession with nanometers. Our industry is starting to go through a profound transformation in measuring how software is built, but only after...
From Galileos telescope to the scanning electron microscope, scientific progress has been punctuated by the technology that enabled new forms of measurement. Yet in the discipline of software delivery, robust measurement has been elusive. When I set out on a mission to double developer productivity, I ended up spending a good portion of my PhD...
