So you thought Agile was simple and easy?

Ever heard that Agile and Scrum are the same thing? Perhaps that was your impression as well? This comprehensive illustration from Lynne Cazaly could possilby help in dispelling that myth:

As you can see from the picture there’s around 40 different agile methods or frameworks. They’re all in the range from simple principles or practices to fully fledged software development frameworks.

….

So called hybrid frameworks has gained attraction in the last couple of years. Among those DAD, SAFe and LeSS are among the best known…..

Product over Project

A project is a way to organize work. However, in many organizations projects has become an end in itself….

What’s the problem with projects then? There are mainly two reasons:

• The division between project and maintenance leads to “handover” and loss of knowledge

The best way to maintain a software product is to have the same people maintaining it, as those who created it. So why not start maintaining from day one of production creation?

• Managers tend to “manage” resources and assign people to projects based on specialization

“Respect for people” is an important principle of lean. When you manage people like a “resource” there’s little room for respect of the individual.

Why does this matter to architects and the way they engage within an organization?

David Bonilla nos presenta su carrera profesional, sus saltos y motivaciones, y como ha llegado a ser CEO de Comalatech, una empresa internacional con trabajadores 100% en remoto.

También nos da consejos sobre lo que NO hacer al emprender, ya que ha tenido varios proyectos, conseguido financiación y después de varias vueltas, terminó vendiendo su empresa por 1€.

Después de esta entrevista David ha seguido emprendiendo, esta vez en el campo del recruiting técnico, algo que para él está roto y es necesario renovar. Veamos como le va y esperemos seguirle en futuras ocasiones.

DESCRIPTION

What do architects do in an agile environment, at scale?  Architects as leaders “need to instill agile values throughout the entire enterprise” is a quote from the Harvard Business Review article Agile at Scale.

Architecture&Agile@Scale deals with issues organizations have in finding the flows of value. Agility at scale permeates areas of the business that were untouched by team-based agile practices  – business strategy,  portfolio management, budgeting, procurement, innovation, enterprise demand management. In addition as practices emerge on the delivery side e.g. DevOps. SAFe, DAD, Nexus, SOS have emerged as organizations grapple with scaling agile.

Architects are challenged to understand their role in the context of agile and agile at scale. The initial backlash from agile suggested that architects were unnecessary, however, in large complex environments organizations struggled to manage the overall architecture and roadmap. Architecture&Agile@Scale seeks to define the role an architect plays in any scaled agile environment.

After this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the demand side of agile.

• Understand how architects contribute to the supply side of agile work

• Find the end to end flow of value
