Заждались новостей от нас? А мы не просто так притихли 😉

Месяц тишины — потому что собирали большое. Встречайте новый модуль RetroPoint — Performance Review.

Это не очередная HR-анкета «для галочки», а понятный цикл договорённостей между лидером и участником команды:
• цели на период с весами и прогрессом (можно связать с OKR команды);
• самооценка участника и оценка руководителя по единой структуре;
• финал обсуждается на встрече 1-2-1, а не «приходит письмом»;
• три честных рейтинга вместо размытой шкалы и бейджи за результат;
• экспорт всего ревью в Markdown и PDF.

Всё живёт прямо в карточке команды — рядом с ретро, покером и OKR. Без отдельного HR-сервиса и лишней бюрократии.

Что это и как начать — рассказали в новости о запуске: https://retropoint.ru/news/performance-review-launch

Растите команду осознанно 🚀

@mlevison this is exactly the reason why we introduced “Backlog buckets” to @openproject: https://youtu.be/MCgBifE353Q?si=q3pRdwPkykvfKMRs

We learned in our user interviews that people had many ideas how to structure their backlogs, but struggled to implement those ideas in the tools they were using to manage their backlog.

Some organisations are now discovering that faster code generation can actually increase downstream costs.
More QA effort.
More regression testing.
More production support.
More architecture review.
More operational noise.
The bottleneck just moves somewhere else. #Software #Agile #AI

A dangerous trap is measuring AI success purely through output volume.
More pull requests.
More tickets closed.
More generated code.
Those metrics can look great while technical debt quietly grows underneath. #Software #Agile #AI

🐢 "It feels faster" is not the same as "it is faster."

In one study, seasoned devs using GenAI on familiar code came out 19% slower than without it, while certain they were speeding up. Self-reported productivity and measured throughput barely correlate.

A third full: real value, well short of the hype. Measure the real thing, Cycle Time and Throughput, before you trust the feel.

20 years of InfoQ, told through the editors who helped shape it.

Shane Hastie is our Lead Editor for Culture and Methods and host of the InfoQ Engineering Culture Podcast. He has been part of InfoQ for 18 of its 20 years, focusing on the human side of software.

His perspective is a timely reminder in a field often driven by rapid tech cycles: no matter how much the stack evolves, people skills remain essential.

Thank you for your incredible dedication, Shane! 🙌

🎂 Happy 20th Anniversary, InfoQ!

#InfoQ20 #Agile #DevCommunity

You can make a stew out of anything.

That’s exactly what #AI does with the internet.

And that’s exactly what most #agile transformations do with organizations.

#AgileCheese takes the opposite approach: before adding ingredients, remove them.

Complexity is just information that hasn’t been deleted yet.

The future belongs neither to intelligence nor to productivity.

It belongs to whoever knows what not to put into the stew.

That’s where the #cheese is. 🧀🔥 #Leadership #Complexity #AI

Eine Story, die drei Wochen im Board hängt, liefert dem User nichts. Außer Wartezeit.

Große Stories fühlen sich nach Fortschritt an. Sind aber nur aufgeschobenes Risiko: Solange nichts beim User ankommt, weißt du nicht mal, ob du das Richtige baust. Klein schneiden heißt nicht "kleiner planen". Es heißt früher lernen.

GROSSE STORIES SIND AUFGESCHOBENES RISIKO

Organisational Dysfunction of the Day

The agile scaling trap

Context: The teams are working well, or well enough. Sprints are running, retrospectives are happening, and there is some genuine ownership of the work. Then the question arrives from above: how do we scale this? The organisation has hundreds of developers across dozens of teams, and it needs them to be coordinated, aligned, and pulling in the same direction. A scaling framework is adopted; SAFe is the most common, but there are others. Release Trains are introduced. Programme Increment planning fills two days every quarter. A new layer of roles appears: Release Train Engineers, Solution Architects, Portfolio Managers. The teams are still doing agile. The organisation around them now looks remarkably like the bureaucracy agile was supposed to replace.

OST explains: Scaling frameworks like SAFe are not an extension of agile; they are a reassertion of DP1 over the partial DP2 that agile attempts. The coordination problem agile never solved at the team level becomes acute at scale, and in the absence of a structural answer, the bureaucracy provides one: add a layer above. The Release Train is a project in disguise, the PI planning session is a quarterly waterfall, and the portfolio layer is the PMO with new vocabulary. OST predicted this: when you introduce DP2 practices into a DP1 organisation without changing the underlying design principle, DP1 will fight back, and it usually wins, because it controls the resources, the budget, and the careers. SAFe is not a solution to the scaling problem; it is proof that the scaling problem was always an organisational design problem agile never had an answer to. The answer is not a bigger framework but a hierarchy of functions. Self-managing groups at every level, each owning its whole task and coordinating as peers. Agile needed fixing. Instead, it got scaled.

There’s also a growing risk that bad practices scale faster than before.
Weak abstractions.
Duplicated logic.
Poor naming.
Inconsistent patterns.
AI can spread these across a codebase remarkably quickly if teams are not careful. #Software #Agile #AI

Sehr viele Führungskräfte reden im Meeting mehr als ihr ganzes Team zusammen und wundern sich, warum keine Ideen kommen.

Das stärkste Führungsinstrument ist kein Tool und kein Framework. Es ist Zuhören. Eine Frage reicht: "Was noch?". Immer wieder, bis nichts mehr kommt. Erst dann hörst du, was dein Team wirklich denkt.

Just because a ticket doesn't states X doesn't mean it is not needed.
Text is just an artifact of communication and people are not perfect.
If you find something missing, I suggest to talk to people and discuss if you want to add X. Then also update the text to mirror the change.

People are in charge, not text.

Some teams are quietly shifting effort away from writing code and into reviewing AI-generated code instead. #Software #Agile #AI
That’s still work.
Sometimes a lot of work.
Especially when the generated output looks convincing but contains subtle mistakes. #Software #Agile #AI

These zum Sprintziel: Es gibt immer eines, egal ob man eines ausformuliert oder nicht.
Anders gesagt: es kann 2 Sprintziele geben. Ein explizit ausformuliert, dass aber oft nur einen Teil des Sprints abdeckt.
Und ein implizites, dass die Leute Kopf haben, weil sie wissen worum es geht. Sie die Komplexität der Realität verstehen.

Text ist immer nur einer Verkürzung der Realität.

„Agile" ist als Wort verbrannt. Totgeritten von Beratern, Zertifikaten und Transformations-Theater.

Das Handwerk dahinter ist es nicht: kurze Feedbackschleifen, kleine Schritte, ehrlich liefern. Das funktioniert, auch wenn keiner mehr „agil" draufschreiben mag.

Wirf das Label weg, behalt das Handwerk.

AGILE ST VERBRANNT Das Handwerk nicht

»YES, This!« https://bobgalen.substack.com/p/yes-this #Agilist.in #Agile #Change #Lean #Kanban #Scrum

For the #InfoQ20 campaign, we're revisiting an idea that feels even more relevant today: #NoProjects.

Evan Leybourn & Shane Hastie make the case for a different model - one where teams are accountable for outcomes, focused on customer delight, business impact, and value for all stakeholders.

The organizations that win don't just complete projects - they continuously learn, adapt & deliver value.

Ein Gantt-Chart für Softwareentwicklung plant Termine für Arbeit, deren Lösungsweg noch keiner kennt.

Das ist kein Plan. Das ist Fiktion mit Balken.

Anforderung unklar, Lösungsweg unklar: Dann gibts am Projektstart kein ehrliches Gantt, egal wie sehr das Management es will. Im agilen Arbeiten steht das Dreieck auf dem Kopf: Zeit und Budget fix, Umfang variabel.
