the three Downwars spiral

  1. Daily issues due to application, complex infra and poor documentation. No time to fix those “TODO/for latter” issues. The most important systems are the most prone to fail and most urgent changes have to go there.
  2. Business people promising imposibles to sales and developers have to work hard pushing small fixes for later and creating tech debt.
  3. Bottlenecks everywhere: slow communication, dependencies, deployments, slow respond to market changes.

IT fails = entire organization fails

  • three ways: flow, feedback and learning

  • value stream

  • deployment lead time

    • deployment must be predictable
    • small batches of code to build and deploy as soon as possible
    • avoid long-lived feature branches

  • way 1: flow

    • build, Integration, test and deployment processes
    • environments on demand
    • limit WIP
    • easy to maintain

  • way 2:

    • quick feedback
    • rapid problem detection

  • way 3:

    • cultural high trust
    • experimentation and risk taking
    • sharing knowledge and learn

  • easy to maintain

  • lean principles

  • agile manifesto
