Friendship Is magic


(relaxing the web-wl committer model)



The Old Committer Model

  • External team dependencies
  • Committers can't focus on team backlog
  • Committers are responsible for wl code quality
  • Committers are expected to know everything about wl


Process Changes

  • Everyone is a committer!
  • Experience catalog
  • CoP instead of committer meetings
  • MYSTERY PRIZES!!!!


The Benefits

  • "Done" is in each team's control
  • Expert developers can contribute to their teams
  • Everyone is responsible for code quality
  • Increased knowledge sharing and collaboration



Why we shouldn't

be afraid

  • Everyone wants to deliver quality code!
  • Embrace failure
  • Support of technology leadership



    Desired Changes 

    to Behavior

    • Encourage meaningful reviews
    • Faster feedback
    • Promotes opportunistic refactoring

    Dream Castle

    the smooze


    The Grundles

    the flutter ponies


    (IT'S TIME FOR 

    AN APOLOGY)


    We all want the same thing

    and that's why this will work
