Сократили срок выхода задач в продакшен почти вдвое: что реально сработало

Команда разработки может работать много и активно, но продукт все равно будет выходить медленно. Рассказываю на своем опыте, какие изменения в процессах помогли почти вдвое сократить срок выхода задач в продакшен и сделать релизы предсказуемыми.

Hands up: Who is working in an agile team for customers (like in an agency, for example)? In such situations, the word "customer" can be confusing. The actual customer is the person who uses the system. That’s why I call the customers you work for "proxy customers."

Yet another version thanks to @nobsagile which incorporates customer feedback.

Do you work in an #agile team? What is your most valuable meeting or ritual, and which one is the least valuable? Why?

Who is using agile principles in a non-development organization? I’d love to get feedback from teams and C-level leaders on the usefulness of the Work-Feedback Loop. Maybe some of you can spare 30 minutes of your valuable time for this? Thanks for boosting!

This clarification is important to me:

Anyone who asks whether agile is still necessary in the age of AI hasn’t understood what agile is.

AI is a tool; agile is an approach. You can be agile with or without AI, or you can’t.

Please don’t confuse the two. Thank you.

My revised version of the 3 core project management forms inspired by @StefanRoock's article on hybrid project management.
I deliberately omitted details that make the difference in Stefan's versions.

If #agile work is about linking work and feedback in a tight loop so that the product can respond effectively to user requirements, why don’t organizations focus on that?

What do I mean by that? When I look around, I see many teams complaining that agile methods are being exploited to manage them. That’s a red flag. There can only be two reasons for this:

#Culture isn’t just within teams - it’s how information flows between them!

#Westrum’s 3 culture types - Pathological, Bureaucratic, Generative - reveal most teams see themselves as generative but struggle across teams.

Real cultural work = between teams!

Struggling to make change stick? It’s rarely a people problem; it’s a design problem. Kurt Lewin’s B=f(P,E) formula shows that behaviour is a function of the Person and their Environment.

Хьюстон, у нас проблемы! Наводим порядок в зоопарке инструментов и возвращаем контроль над продуктом

Если вы тимлид или техдир, ваше утро редко начинается с неспешного наслаждения чашкой кофе. Скорее, оно начинается с открытия пяти разных вкладок. Картина знакомая и удручающая: бэклог продукта живёт в одной системе (которую либо давно не обновляли, либо вообще собрали из того, что было), код лежит в GitLab, саппорт отбивается от пользователей и заводит баги в каком-то отдельном ServiceDesk, а сборка релизов, планирование ресурсов и метрики трекаются… да-да, в «любимом» Excel или Google Таблицах.
