State of Mind

What do I think?

simplicity
relationships
process
continuous improvement

simplicity
KISS
Simple
Repeatable
Reusable
Easy to communicate

relationships

relationships
Engage early, engage often
Both sides need to have détente
Involve others in CORE processes
Talking to someone beats emailing them
Really, it does.

process
Automate EVERYTHING
Build in redundancy and the expectation of failure
Test EVERYTHING
It’s YOUR lifecycle too!

continuous improvement
Customers don’t stand still
Products don’t stand still
Technology definitely doesn’t stand still
Your team doesn’t stand still
Strike often, strike hard, be aggressive…

CULTURE…
Cultural change is HARD
People hate change
You make changes then people WILL hate you
Fear of change is irrational
Listen
Concrete examples
Be in the guts of things

What about you?
Hands up
One at a time
No shouting and wild gesticulation
I’ll make notes
Notes to be sent around later
