@RuthMalan @testobsessed @joeltosi I'm on chapter 5 and believe me, you want to read this book! #SystemsThinking

Why do good products slowly get worse even when teams keep shipping? That's the trap this session digs into. @charrett joined to talk systems thinking and what it takes to protect quality over time. Key insight: sustainable quality is a system property, not a feature list.

Teams often carry structural dysfunctions that no amount of process tweaking will fix, because the real causes sit deeper in how the organisation is designed as a system. One week from now, @trondhjort joins us to work through a live diagnosis using open systems theory.

Ich habe für diesen Artikel zwölf Beispiele beschrieben, wie das Agile Manifest in der Praxis aussieht. Zehn davon fangen mit „statt" an.

Statt ein Ticket zu erstellen. Statt den Genehmigungsweg zu gehen. Statt sich auf den Vertrag zu berufen.

Das Manifest beschreibt keine Methode. Es beschreibt, was du tust, wenn du den Prozess umgehst. Deshalb kriegt der Dev, der direkt mit dem Kunden redet, Ärger statt Applaus.

Alle zwölf: https://no-bullshit-agile.de/was-bedeutet-das-agile-manifest-in-der-praxis.html?mtm_campaign=mastodon

Plakat auf cremefarbenem Grund, schwarze Versalien: „Agiles Arbeiten ist Prozessverstoß", das Wort „Prozessverstoß" invertiert. Darunter: „Zehn von zwölf Beispielen fangen mit ‚statt' an."

Nimm eure letzten drei Retros. Zähl die Maßnahmen, die tatsächlich umgesetzt wurden.

Meistens ist die Antwort eine. Oft keine.

Das ist kein Motivationsproblem. Ihr erkennt die Probleme sauber, ihr könnt sie nur nicht schnell genug in veränderte Arbeit übersetzen. Feedback läuft schnell, die Arbeit langsam. Dieser Zustand hat einen Namen.

Plakat auf hellem Papierton, schwarze Versalien: „Erkannt ist nicht geändert", das Wort „geändert" invertiert. Darunter: „Zwei Geschwindigkeiten, eine Engstelle."

@midzer schrieb, Scrum sei ein brutaler Scam, erfunden von Krawatten.

Ich halte den Satz für falsch. Die Wut dahinter für berechtigt.

Die meisten Devs, die agiles Arbeiten hassen, haben es nie erlebt. Sie kennen das Daily als Statusreport für den Chef und die Schätzung, aus der eine Deadline wird.

Ich hab fünf Jahre Scrum nach Lehrbuch gemacht und es sein lassen. Warum es trotzdem nicht an dir liegt:

I'm speaking at KanDDDinsky 2026 in Berlin this October.

KanDDDinsky is one of the few conferences where the hallway conversations are as good as the ones on stage. That isn't an accident. The whole thing is set up so practitioners learn from each other rather than sit and listen. Working software, real problems, no vendor pitches.

A lot of this year's programme deals with AI in business software: what it actually gives us, and what it costs us. Both parts matter and both get discussed honestly. If you build business software for a living, this is your crowd.

14-15 October, Park Inn at Alexanderplatz. Early-bird tickets are 800 EUR until this Friday, 31 July. After that they go up to 950 EUR.

Every time I struggle with something difficult and big, I rediscover the usefulness of #SystemsThinking 💎 and specifically causal-loop diagrams 🔄 and systems archetypes. Such a great tool.

One person’s solution is another person’s problem.

That’s not a bug. It’s how requirements move through organizations.

Every layer solves a problem and creates a new one for the next layer.

#AI is accelerating this process dramatically.

#AgileCheese embraces it. We don’t optimize solutions. We optimize problem propagation.

The fastest way to solve a problem is to make it somebody else’s problem.

That’s why #agile scales so well.

And that’s where the #cheese comes from. 🧀🔥 #SystemsThinking

A multi-level organization propagating problems.

Is Conway's Law just a hunch? Or is it a law? Conway didn't include a proof in 1968.

However, decades later, research from the automotive/aerospace industries and the software industry tells a different story.

If organisations are misaligned with the product architecture, they will have quality problems and decision latency.

Part 2 of "Beyond the Shades of Conway's Law" is out now:

Validation: The Research and Reality Check
