This document discusses the evolution of project management from traditional waterfall approaches to more modern DevOps approaches. It describes how project managers historically focused on tasks, reports, and budgets using techniques like Gantt charts. Their interaction with developers was often adversarial. Operations teams did not get involved until after projects completed. More recently, the Renaissance saw improvements like shared estimation but operations remained separate. Modern DevOps approaches integrate operations earlier and see project managers take a new role as delivery enablers who facilitate communication and continuous improvement across teams.

The document discusses the evolution of project management from traditional "Stone Age" practices to more modern DevOps approaches. In the Stone Age, project managers focused on tasks, reports, and budgets with little collaboration with developers. During the Renaissance, estimation improved but operations teams were still separated. In the DevOps era, the role of the project manager shifts to a "delivery enabler" who facilitates communication and coordination across teams to continuously improve and remove impediments to delivery.

Technical debt refers to potential rework caused by taking shortcuts when coding to complete a project faster. This document discusses lessons learned from failing to manage technical debt properly. It describes situations where technical debt was incurred such as a junior developer copying code from a poorly designed class, rushing to complete work, and refactoring code secretly without informing others. The document advocates for openly communicating about refactoring work, making refactoring activities user stories, dedicating time to pay down debt each sprint, and never approving added technical debt without documenting it.

The document discusses the evolution of project management from traditional "Stone Age" practices to more modern DevOps approaches. In the Stone Age, project managers focused on tasks like planning and budgeting, but often did not collaborate well with developers. During the Renaissance, shared understanding between teams improved estimation. Now in the DevOps era, project managers act as delivery enablers, facilitating communication across teams and advocating for continuous improvement and risk management practices. The role has shifted from command and control to helping teams work together effectively.

Principles of Iteration

🌍 Job van der Voort

This document discusses principles of iteration according to Job van der Voort. The three main principles are: 1) Shorten the cycle time from idea to shipping changes by adopting minimal viable changes, frequent deployments, and automation. 2) Adopt conversational development where all communication is written down and asynchronous. 3) Measure changes and learn by connecting business metrics to allow seeing how changes affect outcomes. Following these principles through short cycles, conversational development, and measuring outcomes allows for consistent building of valuable products.

Delivery Mindsets from Stone Age to devops

Antonio COBO CUENCA

The document discusses the evolution of delivery mindsets from traditional plan-driven approaches to more modern Agile and DevOps approaches. It describes how project managers' roles have changed from a focus on tasks and reports in the "Stone Age" to becoming part of integrated teams. In the DevOps era, project managers facilitate communication and continuous improvement, ensuring collaboration between development and operations teams. The document advocates that project managers adapt to new mindsets that emphasize teamwork and a shared responsibility for delivery.

Digital Project Success

Shawn Day

This document provides 12 observations and reflections on successfully managing digital projects from conception to completion. It emphasizes the importance of: 1) Planning for completion and post-completion from the beginning. 2) Setting clear goals and creating a detailed project plan with timelines and dependencies. 3) Establishing a formal project charter and documenting plans and decisions. 4) Communicating regularly, transparently, and using appropriate asynchronous and synchronous tools. 5) Reviewing and revising plans iteratively as the project evolves and releasing components early and often.

It concludes by providing tips for making a hybrid approach work successfully, such as promoting communication, making metrics visible, and allowing flexibility within fixed milestones.

Evolving Project Management: from the sin to the virtue by Antonio Cobo

OpenCredo

Slide's from Antonio Cobo's talk at the November Psychology of Agile Scrum meetup. Antonio discusses how the PM role needs to evolve from the classical plan-driven approach to a facilitator role more focused on delivering value. He highlights that in order to improve and evolve, we need to understand our mistakes, and then find the virtues needed to drive our teams to accomplish successfully the company goals altogether.

Evolving pm: from the sin to the virtue

Antonio COBO CUENCA

This document outlines the seven deadly sins of project managers and proposes seven heavenly virtues that project managers should strive for instead. The seven deadly sins include gluttony, greed, lust, envy, anger, pride, and sloth. These sins relate to overpromising, bending rules for more features, focusing on appearances over substance, copying others' work, blaming others, refusing to change, and avoiding work. The seven heavenly virtues for project managers are proposed as chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness, and humility. These virtues involve saying no to stakeholders, continuous self-improvement, serving team needs, using facts, quality over speed, strong relationships, and humility. The document encourages project

DevOpsDaysRiga 2017: Mark Smalley - Kill DevOps

DevOpsDays Riga

A fast-moving, outside-in talk that 'sells' the value of DevOps to business executives, finds the weakest link in the value stream and explores the often troubled relationship between IT people and normal people (the business). There is much hype around DevOps, so what are we actually talking about? DevOps improved Agile by speeding up deployment (and more). But how do you 'sell' DevOps to business executives who don't understand IT? No business value is realized until the users actually use the systems well. This is often the weakest link in the IT value chain, so you need to extend your scope. Collaboration is difficult and collaboration between business and IT even more so. What kind of behaviour is effective? Learn from workshop results from practitioners in 11 countries. But why "Kill DevOps"? This refers to an ancient Zen saying about a monk’s journey towards enlightenment and awakening. If you think that you’ve found Buddha, think again, because you never will. It’s the same with DevOps: it’s about continuous experimentation and learning.

DevOpsDays Riga

Richard Dawkins described memes as being a form of cultural propagation, which is a way for people to transmit social memories and cultural ideas to each other. Not unlike the way that DNA and life will spread from location to location, a meme idea will also travel from mind to mind. Getting your organization to take a step back and look at how ops affects people (awareness of alert fatigue, burnout risk, proactive/reactive approaches) can be a tough challenge. In this talk, I will discuss how the very DNA of an organization can evolve through the use of actionable communications from all levels - management, strategy, and practitioners. The “virus” of humane ops will infect your organization, providing a more sustainable approach to on-call, incident resolution, post-mortems, and more. There also will be copious references to the Neal Stephenson classic novel, Snow Crash. After this talk, you will have ideas of practical approaches to effect change in your organization, regardless of your level of influence. While not every group will use the same “viruses”, you will take away a good understanding of where to get started as Patient Zero.

DevOpsDays Riga

This document discusses using Kubernetes as a data platform. It describes using use case driven development to build the initial platform, focusing on simple use cases that provide value. The platform is designed to facilitate collaboration and democratize data access. Pipelines are used to process and transform data in the data lake. The platform supports features like continuous deployment, autoscaling, and compliance with GDPR for data retention and deletion. Lessons learned include selecting cloud infrastructure based on data locations and using Kubernetes for its support and to avoid managing separate clusters.

DevOpsDaysRiga 2018: Jon Hall - DevOps in the enterprise: how "swarming" can ...

DevOpsDays Riga

As DevOps becomes increasingly established in enterprises, and its outputs become widely adopted, DevOps practitioners increasingly find themselves absorbed into traditional, large scale IT support structures. Often this means becoming “tier 3” in a multi-layered support structure. The shortcomings of this structure make it the antithesis of DevOps: the siloed nature of tiered support creates work-in-progress queues. Cross-functional collaboration is limited, communication is disjointed, and knowledge sharing is difficult. In this presentation we will discuss Swarming: an alternative methodology now emerging in forward-looking enterprises, which sets out to dismantle the tiered approach, replacing it with a dynamic, lean, and cross-functional methodology which is a much better fit for DevOps.

DevOpsDays Riga

"I have a strategy to solve the DevOps transitional challenge. It is called reducing inertia that can be seen on daily basis in finances, team behavior and tech stacks. Reducing the friction in these areas is key to successfully move to the DevOps way of work. For me, ‘inertia’ is a good way of making value flow visible and I’ve been using it as the principle underlying my work. This approach can be applied especially successfully in more complex environments, such as enterprises." Joep Piscaer is a technologist with team building skills. He likes all things infrastructure (cloud, storage, virtualization), but really shines when it comes to DevOps and Infra-as-Code. Currently, Joep is building the Jumbo Tech Campus. It is the second biggest supermarket in the Netherlands and the fastest growing online supermarket there.

Why technology X is not what you need right now Why ignoring skills that are already present in the team may be a huge risk Why everything-as-code is an effective approach Why not investing in team member education may be very destructive Why not having time is a bad excuse for not automating Why process improvement effects may not be observable immediately Why cost of automation sometimes is higher than the time invested in writing the scripts

DevOpsDays Riga

AI is such a buzzword, with its futuristic implementations and sophisticated machine learning algorithms (Hello, Deep learning!). We are using ML when we need external data to reach a working product because it would be impossible to solve it with the regular for/if/loops. What are the next steps? Moreover, what about Test, Release and Deployment? We always value data and call our organizations “data-driven”, but now the impact is even bigger. If you are using a ML component, misused/dirty/problematic data will affect not your internal reports as before… but your application deployment and quality of service. Let’s hear discuss some AI implementations stories (its advantages/problems) finding common mistakes and future challenges for such a hyped theme.

DevOpsDays Riga

Build engineering is fun, especially with the awesome choice of tools we have today! In this showcase I’m building a build pipeline with TeamCity. You are going to learn why build pipelines are useful (yes, not only for the sake of eye candy!), and how the CI server can optimise when properly configured. In this talk I’m going to start with the simple scenarios and gradually introduce the complexity: scaling the project by adding constraints and requirements. This will result in changing the build process and revealing the tips & tricks alongside.
