Hooray, We're Fire Fighting
And it doesn't feel right.
Great Successes That Suddenly Fail
- We excel in creativity like nobody else
- Set new standards with awesome solutions
- Our failures are small, but epic
- We stop believing in our awesomeness
- Fire fighting in PM - where is the root cause?
What Is The Problem?
Zombies. Sins of the past.
It's All Our Fault
- Software development is complex
- Tooling is laborious
- Changing requirements invalidate estimations
- Code changes make product unstable
- Our projects grow. Our processes don't
We're growing faster than our processes.
How Do We Fix It?
Get professional. Now!
Structure, Automation, Transparency
- Automate! Everything. (I said: everything)
- Set criteria + test continuously. (Every f*** day)
- Go Agile! You better do. (It is not a hype)
- Continuous delivery. (Unleash your powers)
- Get your hands dirty, make things happen!
Coach your people. Trust your people.
Make The Change!
