Modern Development Framework for Working Better

•

The document discusses the principles of "Conversational Development" or "ConvDev", which is a framework for more efficient collaboration. The four principles are: 1) using shortened development cycles to minimize waste, 2) threading conversations through all stages for transparency, 3) having open conversations without requiring full consensus to avoid delays, and 4) focusing conversations on business results and metrics. The document argues that following these principles can help reduce meetings, handoffs, and inefficiencies compared to traditional development practices.

By doing less of the things we don't
like to do, we can be more efﬁcient

Where does it go wrong?
• Need to sync up on information, but it's scattered over apps,
documents, logs
• Not all stakeholders are available
• Slow iterations, big changes
• Communication (meetings) are slow and wasteful

A framework for working better
@Jobvo - GitLab

4 principles of ConvDev
1. Shortened cycle
2. Threaded through all stages
3. Open without consensus
4. Result-oriented
@Jobvo - GitLab

1. Shortened cycle
Minimally Viable Change (MVC)
@Jobvo - GitLab

1. Shortened cycle
• Easier to coordinate, reason, estimate
• Quicker to respond to market need
• Higher predictability
• Better code quality
• Easier to troubleshoot
• More sense of progress
@Jobvo - GitLab

1. Shortened cycle
Include gatekeepers into the conversation
@Jobvo - GitLab

1. Shortened cycle
1. Deploy frequently: if it hurts, do it more
2. Single changes: easier to link to problems
3. Deploy on peak times
4. Automated integration testing: test everything
@Jobvo - GitLab

2Thread the conversation through all
stages
@Jobvo - GitLab

Link everything
• Give everyone access to the same information
• Only way to measure cycle time, therefore focus on results
• Optimally: Everything in a single tool (GitLab)
@Jobvo - GitLab

3Open conversations without
consensus
@Jobvo - GitLab

3. Open conversations without consensus
Embrace asynchronous conversations
@Jobvo - GitLab

3. Open conversations without consensus
Prevent "Not Invented Here" syndrome by
practicing innersourcing
@Jobvo - GitLab

3. Open conversations without consensus
• Small changes allow you to make mistakes, consensus takes
more time
• Increases reuse of solutions, prevents duplicate work
• Increases shared knowledge
• Work async and remote!
@Jobvo - GitLab

4Result oriented conversations
@Jobvo - GitLab

4. Result oriented conversations
Connect work to relevant business
metrics
@Jobvo - GitLab

1. Shortened cycle
2. Threaded through stages
@Jobvo - GitLab

3. Open without consensus
4. Result oriented
