Let's talk about "Accelerate: The State Of DevOps" report again and about what makes some teams digital elite with stats that enviably show how fast they move and makes others fail to replicate that success.

Any self-respecting business with claims on sustainability or ambition to win these days, is aware that we live in a #VUCA world and the ways we used to employ to do business as recently as a few years ago, are simply no longer fit for purpose. “Speed” is the word of […]
"If you’re serious about #Agile enough to see it succeed in permeating the entire #organisation, take a look at the methods and practices that are state of the art in #software #development as they’re dripping with blessed inbuilt goodwill, thirst for #knowledge, willingness to make (arguably “too many” but that’s another post for another day) mistakes and true, ego-less #collaboration" #devops #SDO #PeopleNotTech #NoWoWWithoutWoT #technology #leadership #HR #operations #SAFE #ImpressionManagement #PsychologicalSafety #teams
The knowledge that #Agile is THE way is worth the effort to keep both ourselves and others anchored in the breath of the principles and incessantly ask ourselves: “Am I #Agile “yet?” or “Am I #Agile “still”?” #DevOps #Transformation #FutureOfWork #NoWOWwithoutWOT #PeopleNotTech #HumansAtWork #Technology #Flexibility #Meditation #WaysOfWork
"What if we've left the idea of probing in-depth into the well-being of our people so far behind, that none of the big things work? What if we have human debt, not tech-debt? Relationships to clean and fix, not code? Team dynamics and health to test, not features?" #Agile #DevOps #Team #HR #PeopleNotTech #Scrum #Technology #softwaredevelopment
Tales from the log of the #ProductOwner about being truly #agile, #design, big thinking, #servantleadership, #continouslearning and of course, #PsychologicalSafety #PeopleNotTech #leadership #HR #VUCA #Technology #DevOps
What to do about half-baked Agile unsupported by a shift in the way of thinking? #Transformation without #change. Agile by numbers. Agile as seen on BigConsultancyTV with no change of #mindset. Agile as a #process. The Agile party in the #IT department and #Waterfall #BAU in the #business. Us and them. #WowNotWoT. - Fall in love with #Change - get #DevOps in the mind not the #tech.
How To Not Fail At #Agile 94% Of The Time. Why we should stop saying and thinking "transformation"- and how #DevOps is a much better term for the new #WaysOfWork and more importantly the new #WaysOfThinking in #knowledge #organizations who need to do #Agile if they are to use #technology fast and smart enough to delight their #customers.
Curiosity is fundamental for an #Agile, #growth-and-#people-obsessed mindset and the latter is the only way forward in the #knowledge economy. To become part of the #Digital elite, both #leadership and #developers (as well as anyone else at all, really!) need to want to create a new #Cultural paradigm and mould the #FutureOfWork through #DevOps in #Technology around happy #teams and #PsychologicalSafety in our fast-moving #VUCA world. This book will help! #PeopleNotTech #ProjectPhoenix #ProjectUnicorn #HumansFirst #HR #IT
How can anyone be #FitForVUCA in the absence of #ContinousLearning? Why aren't #knowledge #organizations designed with #curiosity at the very core? It's time #L&D became true #LearningAndDevelopment instead of a discreet #HR afterthought and drove the organization if we are to have any hope of #Innovation and #growth.
Being truly strong, open and flexible, having Emotional Intelligence while still applying all of the hard skills and obsessively ever learning - that's what's needed of anyone who works in Agile ways.
I typically end it by urging someone to try it for a month. Read a bit more – start at the manifesto and then transfer their team’s (or even their personal) action items into some form of a version of a board be it by sticking some post-its or starting a Trello board. Just for a month. Just to see. See if they’ll fall in love with rapid results they built together from the heart.
