Real cultural work = between teams!

In this #InfoQ #podcast, Adrian Peryer covers:
🎙 Westrum’s culture continuum

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.

PMBoK 7 vs PMBoK 8: что изменилось и зачем это знать креативному PM в геймдеве

Признаюсь сразу: я никогда не работала по PMBoK как по инструкции. И подозреваю, что большинство PM-ов в арт-аутсорсе - тоже. Слишком много процессов, слишком мало про то, что происходит, когда клиент на третьем ревью говорит «а давайте поменяем концепцию». Но PMBoK 8 - первое издание, которое я открыла из искреннего любопытства. Разбираю, что изменилось и почему это наконец-то работает для креативных PM-ов.

Basically, my thinking model of the Work-Feedback Loop is about one thing: Organizational Learning. If this is your area of interest, I look forward to your feedback!

8.5 Summary of the model Organizational learning ability is a function of time, coupling latency, frequency, and synchronization. The work-feedback loop offers a structured perspective on these relationships. It does not replace methods. It evaluates their structural impact. This provides a conceptual model that can be used to analyze agile working independently of frameworks.

Empowerment is a spectrum. Most teams are ""empowered"" at a lower level than leaders think. This diagnostic defines 4 levels of autonomy, from Level 0 (Feature Factories) to Level 3 (Strategy). Use this tool to find your level: https://www.thedecisionstack.com/how-empowered-is-your-team-really-a-decision-stack-diagnostic/

Man riding bicycle that has a wheelbarrow instead of a front tire and handlebars Caption: Visual representation of my company's "scrum" framework

@tezoatlipoca your reasons are sound from the UX standpoint, but the solution can use some work.

As part of the development team, if you agree to something and then sneakily do something else, you’ll will get yourself and the rest of the team in trouble.

I suggest that you point out the issue using relevant sources (you may not be in charge of UX) and negotiate that the suggestion can be carried out as a refactor or quick fix.

Waterfall waits too long to learn.
Agile learns by shipping.

Short sprints surface problems early, invite real feedback, and keep teams aligned as things change. Long cycles delay truth.

That’s why we sprint:
build → ship → learn → adjust.

The real question isn’t Agile or Waterfall.
It’s how long can you afford to wait before finding out you’re wrong?

What’s worked (or failed) for you?

In fact, tooling hasn’t ever made much of an impact in these areas at all, especially compared to disciplined practice on the part of collaborative knowledge workers. That’s why we’ve invented #UCD, #agile, #TDD... all of these are habits of complexity-tending, and they’re what disposes systems toward producing value, if anything does. 6/7 #AI #software

When we combine Work-Speed and Feedback-Speed we get the attached diagnosis matrix. The slower of the two elements (work or feedback) acts as a structural bottleneck for learning ability.

It should be noted that learning ability is only structurally possible in the Learning quadrant. All other states are forms of partial decoupling. The states can be described as follows.

Diagnosis Matrix

Well, I've done it! I've spoken for a full conference talk. I managed to convince a surprising number of people to listen to me talking about writing and communication for 45 minutes, at a conference dedicated to Agile. I'm amazed by how many people did come to my talk. But apparently I had something worth saying.

Feedback is the observable reaction of reality to work. https://no-bullshit-agile.com/wfl/#feedback

This can be:
Usage behavior
Market reactions
Qualitative feedback (e.g., from real usage situations)
