People and careers-paths – Software teams

• People are by their very nature, change resistant• The right culture can be fun and market competitive• The new norm…is constant change…• Be ready to learn, adapt and adjust

AgileNot every organization can or should adopt agile. But agile, in what ever form that is appropriate for a business, organizational structure or team, is the now the new development standard.

@PaulPeissner

People and careers-paths – Business teams

• Blend cross-discipline teams and integrate silo functions• Invest in careers: education, training and mentoring• Reconsider incentives that align• Culture can a strategic advantage!

Continuous Integration

The collapse of the Dev/QA silos and segmented Dev technologies, makes more sense to integrate, automate and collaborate as project scopes get smaller and project cycles get shorter.

Technologies and change tolerance – Software teams

Continuous Delivery

As the project cadences speed-up, the Operations and production teams need to adjust established change patterns and expectations; and explore the benefits of innovative new technology.

• Explore simplification and the modern innovative tools • Create a culture that explores and experiments• Get out of the legacy box and manual routines• Collaborate to challenge the status quo

@PaulPeissner

Technologies and change tolerance – Business teams

• Cost of Change (it’s painful to disrupt organizational patterns)• Cost of Not Changing (the fastest way to obsolescence)• Invest in people and the changes they recommend• Reward the right kind of team behaviors

DevOps

As agile, automation, Cloud, mobile and new technologies bypass complex systems, org. bureaucracy and legacy tools, it becomes more critical for cross-discipline teams to collaboration.
