To Transform to Have Agility, Don’t Do a Capital A, Capital T Agile Transformation

The concept of “flow” is a common thread in DevOps. Fin Goulding and Hayden Shaughnessy do a great job summarizing the concept of flow and how it relates to digital transformation in their book Flow: A Handbook for Change-Makers, Mavericks, Innovation Activists and Leaders: Digital Transformation Simplified. In a previous article, “Modular Architectures Make You...

Project To Product: From Stories To Scenius

This blog was originally posted on the IT Revolution blog on November 19, 2018. We learn through stories—either through our own or through those passed on by others that we admire. When I first read The Phoenix Project, I was amazed at how much technological wisdom could be passed on in story form. That story, perhaps more than any...

Social Mission of Project to Product

The back cover of the Project to Product book states that: “All author royalties will be donated to the P2P scholarship and not-for-profit organizations supporting diversity, women, and minorities in technology”.  This post provides a short summary into why I decided to do this, and why I think this mission is important and aligned with...

Project to Product: What Flows Through a Software Value Stream?

Throughout this Project to Product series I’ve explored how we need to bring the same rigor to architecting our software delivery value streams as what we’re witnessing in advanced manufacturing plants. Once we agree on what flows, we can analyze those flows to identify bottlenecks and opportunities to remove them. However, every time I’ve asked...

Project to Product: Mining the Ground Truth of Enterprise Toolchains

To learn more about what works and what doesn’t in large-scale DevOps and agile deployments, we need data. The problem is, that data is notoriously difficult to get ahold of because much of it lies hidden across numerous private repositories. Efforts such as The State of DevOps reports have helped us gain some understanding by...

How One Global PMO Team Member Solved the Spreadsheet Challenge

Att arbeta med kalkylblad kan göra livet stressigt - i onödan. Detta blir ännu värre när grupperna dessutom är utspridda på olika avdelningar och geografiska platser. Ta Allen till exempel. Som medlem i ett globalt PMO-team för flygorganisationen är hans arbetsdagar ofta extremt stressiga. Han måste inte bara hjälpa till att övervaka arbetet på tre kontinenter och...

Why You Should Adopt Agile Portfolio Management

Om du hanterar arbetet med en agil metod kan det vara en utmaning att hålla resurserna fokuserade på rätt projekt som är bäst för verksamheten. När dina team utför arbete måste du se till att de levererar maximalt värde till stöd för affärsmålen. När organisationer vill börja med agil portföljhantering är det...

Project to Product: Modular Architectures Make You Agile in the Long Run

Gene Kim, one of the authors of The DevOps Handbook, once told me that organizations that require a developer to take 10 people out to lunch to get an API change done appear to have lower IT performance. We hypothesized that an overly high “lunch factor” would impede DevOps transformations, and added some questions on...

Project to Product: Lean manufacturing and the end of the manufacturing line analogy

I recently visited the BMW Group’s Leipzig plant. My goal was to brainstorm with BMW Group IT leaders on how we could seamlessly integrate production lines with the software lifecycle. I was also interested in learning more about how BMW approaches car production as I was in the midst of defining the Flow Framework™ for...
