I was just reminded of "The New Methodology," @martinfowler's novella-length post from 15 years ago. Everybody whose ever used building construction as an analog to Agile needs to read every word. Same for the pro-estimate folks. martinfowler.com/articles/newMe…
Would you speak at the Wellington .NET User Group? Once again, the Wellington .NET User Group needs people to share their experiences, their stories. Everyone has a story to tell - and we'd love to hear yours. meetup.com/WelliDotNet/me…

I'm really proud of this piece of work below. The 'Developer Growth Framework' is something that I've poured a lot of my spare time into and I'm excited to share it with everyone to use if they'd like. Please read, share and give me feedback! <3 tamarabuckland.co.nz/blog/2018/5/6/…
As someone who joins a lot of software teams for a handful of months at a time, here are the traits of the most successful ones: - They write tons of tests and they require everything to pass in CI - Pairing is the default. - Stale code gets deleted - Debate is encouraged
Abandon Agile! ronjeffries.com/articles/018-0…
Agile is no more or less than * work in small increments * get feedback * take engineering seriously If someone tells you it’s more than this, they are trying to sell you something. If someone tells you it’s less, they don’t understand agile. @tastapod at #CraftConf
We simply ask that you be innovative without mistakes while working as a team to achieve individual performance goals.

I do not accept the argument from enterprise IT orgs that a skill gap is keeping them from adopting cloud or platforms. Existing teams can develop the necessary skills faster than the organization can move to adopt new tech. There is no skill gap.

Industrial revolution style "Management" is dying. Motivating & empowering staff in the knowledge/tech industry is a whole new paradigm #codecampwelly

Concerning that “bad product owner” is so often the excuse for bad product. I coach towards product leadership and team ownership. My worst case is product owner telling the team exactly what to build, and team not taking ownership of the outcome. That’s what “bad” looks like.
Those interested in digital government need to become interested in investing in unsexy plumbing work: clean data, open APIs, libraries & services. Great UX is not built on a handful of spreadsheets held behind firewalls in departments that don't talk.
