    Educating a team slows you down for a week or two. Not educating the team slows you down forever. Time spent in learning is never wasted.

    "Not realistic" is code for "I can't do that at the fucked up place that I work." Don't assume that your experience is universal.

    Zappos has always been one of the more innovative (and radical) experimenters in decentralized organizations with lightweight-to-no traditional management. They're fearless, w/ massive experiments. Some work; some don't. Here's the latest incarnation.

    Sometimes, the "change management" organization, particularly if it's a PMO, is the biggest obstacle to change, and should be the first thing to go. They actively try to prevent changes that would make them irrelevant.

    If you try to do that incrementally, your director of QA will be fighting tooth and nail to prevent any agility from happening, because they see the writing on the wall for them. It's best to just pull off the band-aid and get it over with. 4/4

    But more to the point, adding testers doesn't eliminate the wait times associated with submitting to test, getting back changes, resubmitting to test, etc. The solution is to integrate all testing (and testers) with dev. 3/4

    It slows the entire value chain. That particular bottleneck cannot be optimized—you need to eliminate it entirely. Adding enough testers, for example, is usually politically impossible. 2/4

    Though it's best to change incrementally, sometimes you just have to rip off the band-aid and deal with the pain. Maybe not for the whole org, but definitely for some parts of it. Take a testing group as a case in point. That group is almost always a huge bottleneck. 1/4

    No real change is possible without psychological safety, so start there.

    This thing you call Agile, but isn't, isn't helping you. Hopefully, knowing that will lead to learning about alternatives that actually are agile, and which will help you.

    There are some folks who's "professional identity" is "I get to decide." Those folks will always create problems for everyone else. And they do struggle when that identity as the one who gets to decide gets subsumed into a team-oriented, human-centered process.

    I have been in situations where I've observed organizations attempt to 'install agile' with some sort of scaled framework ... only to find out too late that if you're not already Agile, all you're doing is scaling the existing dysfunction ... regardless of any certified training.

    Agile has nothing at all to do with Sprints, backlogs, fixed roles, meetings, stories, etc. Don't confuse tools (some useful, some not, all contextual) with the thing itself.

    Starting with a customer request is probably a better starting point that something a dev just invents, but in both cases, building that is the beginning of an iterative and collaborative process that will home in on what's actually needed. 3/3

    Anything that can elevate the devs over the customers is suspect to me. Instead of denigrating the customers, I'd rather work with them collaboratively. Fact is, nobody knows exactly what's needed until you build it. 1/

    My problem with "give them what they need, not what they think they need" is that, in the wrong hands, it can lead to an arrogant "I know more what they need than they do" posture. 1/

    Odgovor korisniku/ci @allenholub
    Cheesy, but I say: "Provide the customer with what they need, not what they think they want." - in other words you need to establish what will actually get them where they want to be - they may not have the expertise to determine that for themselves, that's why you are there!

    I hate the "customers don't know what they want" POV. Of course they do. They want better lives & to get their work done with less pain and more joy. They may not know how best to achieve that, but they certainly know what they want. Collaborate iteratively to figure out the how.

    Odgovor korisniku/ci @allenholub
    Although this makes a fundamental assumption, your customer knows what they want. Many a time customers don’t know what they want or they satisfice.

    So, what's the best alternative? Google is creepy. Apple forces me to put everything into Documents. Amazon is too much work. What solution do you use? 3/3

    You can send an email (which they take WEEKS to answer with a canned message that doesn't address the problem). THERE IS NO WAY TO TALK TO ANYBODY ON THE PHONE! The web site is simplified to the level of uselessness. I'm done. 2/3
