We are dedicated to unlocking the worlds best development practices; putting them into the hands of professionals who power the software industry to improve all our lives.
Many organisations have standard ways of working, methods that they insist that all their teams should follow. This is done for good reason, consistency, compliance etc. but it can constrain or hamper teams if it is not done right. The idea that a single method is applicable and ‘right-sized’ for all the endeavors that an organization is working on is doomed to failure. Agree
All methods share much more than their creators think, the differences are artificially magnified.
Instead of collaborating, the method gurus fight one another. Instead of belonging to the software engineering community as a whole, you belong to a much smaller method community. Agree
The hand-crafting of routine tasks is wasteful. Given that “most tasks are routine and not innovative” (Mary Shaw, CMU), routine tasks should be automated, ‘engineered’, resulting in better quality with faster outcomes. We need to liberate teams from ‘no brain work’ giving them the freedom to be more creative when needed. Agree
