Editor's Notes
- HELLO My name is LEO BARNES I’m a BUSINESS ANALYST and CX Designer at AMIDO A CLOUD NATIVE consultancy CLICK
- I’m here to TALK about the IMPORTANCE of LABELS …And WHY sometimes we should CONSIDER REMOVING them I'll COVER a bit about DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORKS… A TRUE story about LABEL REMOVAL… And a QUIZ GAME at the end CLICK
- I think we ALL AGREE that LABELS can HELP UNDERSTANDING A GOOD SHORTCUT WAY TO GROUP a set of things or IDEAS, or IDENTIFY SOMETHING CLICK
- For EXAMPLE LABELS are GREAT in UI DESIGN CLICK
- I’m SURE WE CAN ALL AGREE, there’s an ART to WRITING GOOD LABELS CLICK
- IT'S particularly IMPORTANT on FOOD Where PEOPLE want to KNOW what they’re EATING CLICK
- ESPECIALLY as some people have ALLERGIES and FOOD INTOLLERANCES…. For EXAMPLE… CLICK
- I’m INTOLLERANT TO HAZARDOUS WASTE PAUSE CLICK
- AND ARGUMENTS CLICK
- LABELS can also help AVOID NASTY SURPRISES CLICK (to Brad)
- If only THAT BOX had been LABELLED CLICK
- DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORKS and METHODOLOGIES have LABELS too… And this CAN make things TRICKY BEFORE we get to THAT… LET’S TALK A LITTLE bit about the MOST POPULAR ones in SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT CLICK
- WATERFALL is a FRAMEWORK still used DESPITE claims to the CONTRARY… OFTEN ”NEW” framework projects (like AGILE) get accused of being WATERFALL CLICK
- WAERFALL IS SEQUENTIAL phases of development Often large documents created up front THESE are like GATES needed to pass through before STARTING THE NEXT ACTIVITY EACH ONE is a TOOL within the framework PROS Removes AMBIGUITY of unplanned work OFTEN Easier to get large programmes of work AGREED and BUDGETED CONS Can be SLOW to see ANY RESULTS Harder to ADAPT to market changes CLICK
- Agile CATCH-ALL METHODOLOGY Most COMMON FRAMEWORK within it is SCRUM CLICK
- IT’S about BREAKING THINGS DOWN INTO more MANAGEABLE CHUNKS HARD to get people INVOLVED if they don’t have EXPERIENCE AGAIN, things like Daily scrum / standups Sprint planning User STORIES Sprint review / demo ALL JUST TOOLS in the FRAMEWORK CLICK
- Seemingly growing year on year…. Lots based on others like JUST IN TIME… WHERE things ARE READY just before they are NEEDED CLICK … which is the framework I use for IRONING CLICK
- I’m NOT here to DESCRIBE ALL THE FRAMEWORKS and METHODOLOGIES And these are JUST A FEW of THEM People can STRUGGLE TO ADOPT THEM… And this CAUSES FEAR CLICK
- AT a HUMAN level it causes all SORTS OF PROBLEMS… CONFUSION GOES AGAINST how they are used to WORKING REDUCES their JOB RESPONSIBILITIES perceived USEFULLNESS ----- TO BE FAIR…… Understanding FRAMEWORKS is a SKILL IN ITSELF SO WHY NOT just EDUCATE? Click
- NICE IDEA CAN’T always influence a WHOLE COMPANY (and training costs MONEY) TYPICAL EXAMPLE AGILE PROGRAMME WORKS TOGETHER CLICK WATERFALL business AROUND IT not SET UP for AGILE OUTSIDE programme (CLICK) they don’t CARE about FRAMEWORKS They FEAR the use of FRAMEWORK. AND LIKE BRAD, CLICK They don’t know WHAT IS IN THE BOX! CLICK
- Can be EVERYTHING OR JUST a few THINGS CLICK USING a LABEL can IMPLY EVERYTHNG IS USED And THAT CAN BE OVERWHELMING CLICK
- WHY does ANY OF THIS MATTER? Well I'll TELL YOU A TRUE STORY CLICK
- So, a few months back… A CLIENT had AGILE described to him We’ll call the CLIENT CHUCK… because that IS HIS NAME He’d HEARD of AGILE but never understood it HE’D worked HIS OWN WAY FOR YEARS And the IDEA of an ‘AGILE FRAMEWORK’ freaked him out HE APPEARED TO ACTIVELY avoid working that way. ANYWAY, A FEW WEEKS AGO he started working directly with my team and I chatted to him about the WAY WE WORK CLICK
- SO I explained in very HUMAN language WE’LL only define work for short PERIODS PRIORITISE on VALUE SHOW work AS WE GO ETC… CLICK
- Not once DID I SAY BACKLOG… Or SPRINT Or USER STORY Or AGILE HIS RESPONSE….? CLICK HE APPROVED and started WORKING WELL with the team I ADMIT his name WASN’T CHUCK… but this GIF works WAY BETTER if I SAY it WAS ANYWAY, I REALISED this was a good APPROACH CLICK
- IN CONCLUSION KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE and the TOOLS they CAN USE ------ SOME, ALL or ONE THEY DON'T EVEN NEED TO BE FROM THE SAME FRAMEWORK JUST MAKE sure PEOPLE UNDERSTAND WHY you’re using those TOOLS AND use LABELS SPARINGLY CLICK
- I truly believe this BUT it's not REVOLUTIONARY PICK only the TOOLS THAT WORK FOR YOU and the TEAM PEOPLE WHO WORK WITH YOU WILL GET ON BOARD CLICK
- I call this the NO LABEL FRAMEWORK CLICK DAMN… I JUST GAVE IT A LABEL CLICK
- WHILE I WAS WRITING THIS TALK… A SECURITY COMPLIANCE consultant was TELLING ME ABOUT SOME OPEN SOURCE TOOLS we could use on our PROJECT SOMETHING STRUCK ME ABOUT THE NAMES (OR LABELS) of these tools… SO it’s CLASSIC quiz time… SORRY, I’m aware you’ve all played this EXACT QUIZ a MILLION TIMES… CLICK
