  • “Any repetitive process that you perform is a candidate for automation. Anything that you do more than once, you can automate.”

  • “We want to understand the value of what our stakeholders care about first, and then reverse engineer that to the activities we perform in our marketing operations teams.”

  • "This mechanism is known as a pull system because new work is pulled into the system when there is capacity to handle it, rather than being pushed into the system based on demand."

  • Scrum events aren't meetings, but opportunities for a conversation. Tobias Mayer describes this perfectly in his book The People's Scrum:

“Scrum is centered on people, and people have conversations. There are conversations to plan, align, and to reflect. We have these conversations at the appropriate times, and for the appropriate durations in order to inform our work. If we don't have these conversations, we won't know what we are doing (planning), we won't know where we are going (alignment), and we'll keep repeating the same mistakes (reflection).”

  • Einstellung (in der meist englischen Fachliteratur attitude) bezeichnet in der Psychologie die aus der Erfahrung kommende Bereitschaft (Prädisposition) eines Individuums, in bestimmter Weise auf eine Person, eine soziale Gruppe, ein Objekt, eine Situation oder eine Vorstellung wertend zu reagieren, was sich im kognitiven (Annahmen und Überzeugungen), affektiven (Gefühle und Emotionen) und behavioralen (Verhaltensweisen) Bereich ausdrücken kann. Beispiele für Einstellungen sind Vorurteile, Sympathie und Antipathie oder der Selbstwert. Einstellungen haben die Funktion, Objekte einzuschätzen sowie durch Identifikation und Distanzierung zu Individuen soziale Anpassung zu erreichen.

  • Die Einstellungsforschung klärt die Zusammenhänge von Einstellungen, Verhalten und Handeln. Sie fragt vor allem danach, unter welchen Bedingungen Einstellungen zustande kommen, wie dauerhaft diese sind und unter welchen Bedingungen sie geändert werden.

  • „Failure is the consequence of doing something new. In biz failure is used as bludgeon to attack people.“ – Ed Catmull –

  • So what’s the missing link? Requirements. The code may be of the highest quality, but if it’s not reflecting what was specified in the requirements, you may have built perfectly useless code.

Louis Srygley has an apt description for this: “Without requirements and design, programming is the art of adding bugs to an empty text file.” The key is to change our mindset of using “testing” as the only means to achieve application quality. Martin Thompson says it best: “It took us centuries to reach our current capabilities in civil engineering, so we should not be surprised by our current struggles with software.” “If we look to other engineering [disciplines], we can see the use of tooling to support the process of delivery rather than imposing a process on it.” As teams adjust to Agile software development practices, they become better at calculating their capacity and estimating the size of tasks. Consequently, their predictability increases, and they begin to deliver consistently on the content that they commit to producing.

  • The Scrum Guide starts defining a Sprint with this sentence:

“The heart of Scrum is a Sprint, a time-box of one month or less during which a ‘Done’, usable, and potentially releasable product Increment is created.” At the end of a Sprint, the new Increment must be “Done,” which means it must be in useable condition and meet the Scrum Team’s definition of “Done.” It must be in useable condition regardless of whether the Product Owner decides to actually release it. —  Scrum Guide

  • I see four main reasons to automate a computer-related task:
  • Speed. This is the obvious one that everyone thinks of. We’ll come back to it later.
  • Consistency and accuracy. Little errors often creep in when you do a repetitive task by hand.
  • Conservation of concentration. Multistep tasks can take your mind off of what you’re working on. I owe this insight to John D. Cook.
  • Entertainment and satisfaction. Puzzling out an automation script is way more fun than Sudoku.
  • At its core, Agile is a set of Values and Principles:
  • Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
  • Working software over comprehensive documentation
  • Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
  • Responding to change over following a plan

That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more. Underlying these is a mindset with a focus on self-discipline, self-organization, and adaption to change.

“Good design is difficult to achieve and hard to replicate. Design is the DNA of your product.” –@andybudd #uxriga

“First order design is how the product looks. Second order design is how the product feels (delighters).” —@andybudd #uxriga

“In the digital world, UI animation is the second order design on the web. It is important.” —@andybudd #uxriga

“Third level design is how customers interact with a product. It’s how it behaves when used.” –@andybudd #uxriga

“Fourth order design focuses on systems thinking. It’s where interaction design crosses over into service design and customer experience.”

“Designers are fire-fighters if there is 1 designer for every 10 developers. Design becomes accidental. It won’t work.” —@andybudd #uxriga

“Highly effective design teams have one designer for every 3–6 developers. Only then can design serve its purpose well.” —@andybudd #uxriga

“Massive teams don’t work. Every single team should not have more than 8 people. A team no bigger that can be fed by two pizzas.” #uxriga

“Product market fit isn’t delivered by devs or product managers. To succeed, it has to be delivered by design teams.” –@andybudd #uxriga

Design is the only way out to remain relevant today. Given that people are moving from hotels to AirBnBs, how many hotels are innovating?

To outperform your competitors, focus on design, delight and unique personality. Meeting needs with an unprecedented attention to detail.

“Performance is a proxy for happy users. A proper metrics isn't page load time — it's Image Render time.” —@Souders #imagecon17

“Images have a significant impact on user experience. Displaying a white blank screen due to critical blocking resources is unacceptable.”

“To convince management of performance, appeal to the need for a better understanding of how performance impacts business.” –@aemcknig

"Listening to people" is hollow unless you go on with the humility to change your opinion and decisions based on what you hear.

“Concurrency is a way to structure things so they can run parallel. But concurrency’s goal is not parallelism; the goal is good structure.”

A short explanation about the ~ part: (If you've used a Unix shell before, you probably know this part already) ~ means "the user's home directory". That's where on most systems you have folders like "Documents", "Downloads", "Desktop", "Music", etc. On iOS, you don't have a "home directory", because every app runs in its own sandbox. So on iOS, the "home directory" is the app's user data folder, which is the /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/{UUID} folder that you see in many paths. Unlike a shell, Python doesn't automatically understand the ~ shortcut. You need to manually use os.path.expanduser(path) to replace the ~ with the actual home directory path. Long story short, to move your module files to the correct location, this command should work: shutil.move(os.path.expanduser("~/Library/Application Support/Commands/site-packages/gspread"), os.path.expanduser("~/Documents/site-packages/gspread"))

Loading everything before showing anything is an antipattern. This is an old native pattern we shouldn't be bringing to the web.

Our brains scan the world for problems and sometimes that's all we see. Happiness is a choice. And it's hard work.

Agile is not Lean and never will be, primarily because it’s blind to and ignorant of systemic issues.

Being #Agile is not table stakes, it’s a cul-de-sac.

Slow automated tests are no more use to you than no tests at all, if you can't gain fast enough feedback from your tests refactor!

Im Gegensatz dazu ordnet Liggesmeyer (Lit.: Liggesmeyer) den Regressionstest in die Gruppe der diversifizierenden Tests ein. Dadurch wird im Unterschied zu funktionsorientierten Testtechniken die Korrektheit der Testergebnisse nicht anhand der Spezifikation entschieden, sondern durch Vergleich der Ausgaben der aktuellen Version mit den Ausgaben des Vorgängers. Ein Testfall gilt beim Regressionstest als erfolgreich absolviert, wenn die Ausgaben identisch sind.

@sarahmei Declarative programming removes control flow from the program and makes it about data. A spreadsheet is declarative programming.

Interesting! In a spreadsheet, the code is hidden while the data is front & center - the inverse of most of our programming systems.

The "minimum" in #MVP refers to effort/time, not no./quality of features. The output is #validatedLearning; a decision point - not features.

One of the reasons teams fail to build product discovery into their work is a hyper-focus and management to drive velocity of delivery /1 Adding in discovery work increases a different type of velocity -- the velocity of learning /2 However, there isn't a different bucket of capacity for the team for each type of work (discovery vs delivery) /3 This means that as the team increases their velocity of learning (discovery work) the velocity of delivery goes down. /4 This is OK since it informs the team on which delivery work makes most sense right now. But most teams struggle to absorb this "slowdown" /5 Successful lean/agile teams find the right balance b/w velocity of delivery and velocity of learning. /6

How quickly we can go from commit to deploy in prod is a more valuable metric than deploys per day. @RealGeneKim #devopsdays https://twitter.com/crayzeigh/status/857270963775217664/photo/1

A softer approach to #noprojects and #noestimates, agile manifesto style: "We value product management over project management"

If you are a designer who needs to learn how to code, the fastest way to learn is by eating developers and gaining their powers.

What's your ultimate productivity trick, strategy or technique? What tasks do you automate, and how? Any tools you can't live without?

If you reward delivery [velocity], you will get more delivery - but of what? - @AgileBrightSpot #BASD2017

It's irresponsible to load teams to 100% capacity. Increased workload creates longer delays, lower quality, and higher costs.

Design is problem-solving. Design is never finished. Design is continuous. Design is foundational. There is always more to come, to do.

Don't ask customers what they want. Measure what they do. #RunningLean

Incorrect prioritization of risk is one of the top contributors to waste. #RunningLean

"Give someone a program, you frustrate them for a day; teach them how to program, you frustrate them for a lifetime." - David Leinweber

Fools ignore complexity. Pragmatists suffer it. Some can avoid it. Geniuses remove it. - Alan Perlis

Perhaps the root of all confusion stems from the belief that #agile & waterfall are just different solutions to the same problem.
