Seeing a bigger picture - Tobias Fors - CiterusHolifant
With this interactive presentation, my intention is to help participants see the value of engaging with a bigger picture when struggling with challenges in developing their organization.
Lättrörligt arbete går att tillämpa på annat än rent utvecklingsarbete, t.ex. för arbete i ett driftsteam. Genom att utgå från principerna för lättrörlighet kan vi bygga nya lättrörliga arbetssätt.
Att Lära Sig Tillsammans - Tobias Fors - Agila Sverige 2009Holifant
Alla organisationer kan använda sin potential bättre. Agile är ett sätt att komma igång med det. Men, även om agile har spridits snabbt och resulterat i många förbättringar är det fortfarande många som ser agile bara ännu en utvecklingsmetod. I agiles kärna finns ett värdesättande av möjligheten att röra sig med elegans och lätthet, även när omständigheterna ändras. Vi kan aldrig stanna och säga att vi hittat det enda sanna sättet att göra saker och ting. Organisationer som inser detta använder lärande och lagarbete för att ge energi åt förbättringar som sträcker sig bortom det som böcker, guruer och konkurrenter säger och gör. Däri sitter kraften i att lära sig tillsammans. Talet beskriver några användbara teorier som hjälper oss att lära oss tillsammans, plus en näve praktiska tips på hur man kan tillämpa teorierna i sin egen vardag.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

Chaos -> survival -> short term thinking
“Fear makes the short term almost the only thing that people see or focus on.”

Survival Instincts in Management
• “Teamwork sounds good, but …”
• “Let’s just test it in the live system …”
• “I hear what you’re saying, but …”
“It can’t be done”
What would it take for
this to be possible?

Example: The Reward Once You Make it Through
“I’ve gotten more done the last three weeks than the previous three years here.”
– Developer, gaming company
“The way we talk to each other now, we’ve never talked before.”
– Project member, another gaming company
“Before, I always felt like a pain in the ass when I came in with questions and
suggestions. Now I feel really welcome.”
– Product owner

Simple Works Better
“We observed that organizations that were better at learning and translating
knowledge into action understood the virtue of simple language, simple
structures, and and the power of common sense …”

An Old Source of Conflict: How Should We Develop?
Manifesto for Agile Software Development
We are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.

Do We Really Need Something New?
“Second, research demonstrates that the success of most interventions
designed to improve organizational performance depends largely on
implementing what is already known, rather than from adopting new or
previously unknown ways of doing things.”

The Vision: A Goal Beyond “Introducing Agile”
“We really don’t have any problems, it’s just
that we think that it would be convenient to
have a new way of working.”
• Quality?
• Time?
• Cost?
• Quality of work life?

Exercise: Vision of Change
• Think for a minute: Can you identify a powerful vision you’ve encountered, that
attracted either you or someone else
• What made the vision so compelling? ✎
• Have you felt alienated from a vision at some time?
• What made you feel alienated? ✎
• What are the ingredients of a powerful vision? ✎

Find Change Owner and a Change Team
“Anyone who is to use Scrum would benefit from trying it once in an environment
where it is truly supported by management, as I got to do.”

Define Done
• Needed for estimation of work
• Enables cooperation
• Clarifies expectations
• Minimum: frequent testing, frequent
integration, effective release
management
• Expand as learning happens

Tip: Behavior Influences Attitude
“There is a large literature demonstrating that attitudes follow behavior. That
means that people accepts new beliefs as a result of changing their behavior.”

Challenge: The Change is Reverted
36
37. Citerus - Tobias Fors, 2009 - tobias.fors@citerus.se
Challenge: Inadequate Engineering Practices
• Critical challenge if you lack:
• Effective configuration management (late integration, merge conflicts)
• Test automation at several levels
• Smooth release management (builds, packaging, deployment)
• Going forward:
• Expand your definition of done
• Coach, train, practice
37

Challenge: Going From Expert to Team Player
Expert: Instructions, veto right, knows Team players: Helps, supports,
best teaches

Challenge: Cherry Picking From a System
• Can you “cherry pick” specific
practices?
• Scrum, for example, is a system where
the parts interact to give a result
• When you take the parts out of the
system, they no longer function the
same way
• Example: You cannot take one leg of a
chair and expect to get a certain
percentage of “chair functionality”

Tip: Be “Programatic”
Dogmatic “Progmatic” Pragmatic
1. Think about consequences
2. Make the change
3. Evaluate the result

41. Citerus - Tobias Fors, 2009 - tobias.fors@citerus.se
Common Challenge: Disruptive Incentive Systems
• Rewarding lines of code produced
• Acknowledging heroes
• Collisions between the individual and the team

Assignment: More Change
• When you go from your home to class the next time, take a different route
• After this, start a new mail in your favorite mail client
• Journal for exactly 5 minutes about your reflections on this change
• If you want to (and I’d love it if you did), send the text to me
