You Are Doing Autonomy Wrong

•

The idea of creating autonomous teams has been trending for a few years now. It is now considered one of the tenets of mature agile organizations. In theory, autonomous teams move faster because they don't have to synchronize with other groups as much or wait to get approval for their decisions. They don't have to wait for direction. Autonomous teams should also be happier; autonomy being one of the three pillars of driving motivation in individuals. In practice, many leads and their managers confuse autonomy with being completely "hands-off." Failed projects, buggy releases, or other issues are often the result of not understanding how team autonomy should work. In this talk, I’ll discuss my experiences seeing autonomy done correctly and not in teams, and share examples of what I’ve done to establish the needed conditions for autonomy done right.

Many consider agile a process to implement within an existing organization. A set of rules to follow that will produce some useful outcomes. This approach can provide improvements in many different structures of organizations. As agile maturity improves, however, the benefits can become limited by the structure and culture of the organization itself. Agile is more than a framework for organizing tasks for a team. Agile is a culture, a mindset and a structure for improving the velocity of innovation and providing real business value to customers. To gain the most benefit from Agile it must be considered as part of a more extensive system that incorporates organizational structure, software architecture, and company culture. This talk considers the interactions between how the work, the software, and the people are organized in high performing agile organizations. Using my own experiences at companies large and small, I will share what I have learned and some best practices I use. These lessons will help you as you improve and scale your Agile teams. I will discuss: How to structure your organization to remove the bottlenecks in coordination and decision-making that can slow velocity to a crawl How to take advantage of modern systems architectures to allow teams to move faster Using data to provide accountability for autonomous teams without creating more process By the end, you will have concrete examples and ideas that you can bring back to your team to help you improve and scale agile within your organization. This talk was the opening keynote of the Agile Israel 2019 conference.

Do your performance metrics reflect what's truly important to your customers? This session explores the ways companies can increase financial performance by changing from inwardly facing measurements to measurements that extend outside the firm. Changing these metrics often requires firms to think differently than they have in the past. If you're ready to think differently about your company's measurement systems (or think you might be ready to think differently), join this conversational session facilitated by Ed Kless.

We’re bombarded by messages daily, so it’s important to remember that delivering your message is not the most important skill to master in sales. Pitching is dead. Engagement and empathy are what count in today’s world. A key for turning leads into opportunities is the ability to communicate effectively. Your ability to sell anything is dependent upon establishing trust, rapport and credibility. In practice, this involves replacing a sales pitch with developing a human connection. By practicing great questioning techniques and asking the right questions, you demonstrate how much you care about a buyer’s needs, wants and outcomes. Join us for this complimentary one-hour webinar led by Julie Thomas, President & CEO of ValueSelling Associates. Learn a questioning technique that can improve your effectiveness in prospecting and get an action plan to increase interest and engagement with prospective clients. What you’ll learn: Why it's worth the effort to prepare to ask better questions 4 types of questions used in the ValueSelling Framework How to reverse engineer the customer buying process to improve your win rate The art of crafting questions tailored to your sales situation Leveraging active listening as an integral part of your response Who should attend: Sales leaders to front-line managers Individual contributors seeking to engage with prospects Marketing and sales enablement

Presented at Agile2019 in Washington D.C. Is Enterprise Agility an oxymoron? We say we value Individuals and interactions over processes and tools however, the enterprise agility space is drowning in processes and tools. There are countless frameworks and innumerable tools to measure every part of a teams performance to dizzying detail. But what about individuals and interactions? Does this get overlooked because it’s “too hard”? How does an enterprise scale an agile practice beyond a team, into a team of teams, or boldly into an entire enterprise but not lose sight of this principle? In this session, Em & Adrienne will trade war stories with you about with Agile in the Enterprise and what role valuing Individuals and Interactions plays in successful transformations. Learning Outcomes: Identify Enterprise behaviours that are incongruent with valuing Individuals and Interactions, including leadership pitfalls. Explain the economic benefit of valuing individuals and interactions Describe the types of behaviours displayed by Enterprises that values Individuals and Interactions Apply valuing Individuals and Interactions in an Enterprise context

In the last years many enterprises have decided to make Agile transformation in order to improve products delivery and to increase customer satisfaction. Also they want happy people while working on these products. Self-managed teams are working since more than a decade with success. some of these teams belong to non-agile organizations, that in some way make no easy to perform their work while ensuring Agile values and principles. When the complexity of these environments is high, new formats for communication and governance are needed. Scaled Agile Frameworks can be used in order to avoid this kind of troubles and resolve decision making with success. SAFe is one of the mayor frameworks used to scale Agile at enterprise, in this talk we will discover why.

A challenge for startups as they scale is finding the right structure for the stage of their growth that will support them as they continue to grow. While there is no "one size fits all" solution for organizational structure, there are patterns for the different stages of startups that can be adapted to your culture and best practices to leverage. First presented at the 0111 CTO Conference, November 2022

It's teams all the way down - Design patterns for technology organizations

Kevin Goldsmith

Because our models and pipelines don’t usually run in production, it's natural to put less scrutiny into the security of the systems and the code. However, vulnerabilities in our data architecture, software architecture, or network design can expose critical company IP or personal data to hackers or fraudsters. Vulnerabilities in the open-source packages we use to build our models can be exploited as well. This talk covers considerations around security that should be central to anyone building ML/AI solutions.

Whether you are responsible for salary decisions or just give input to someone else, it is important to understand the overt and subtle considerations around determining appropriate pay raises for your team. How you handle salary is a critical part of performance management and retention. This talk gives some practical advice and things to keep in mind when you are considering what type of pay raise to make. I’ll also provide some points to make the salary discussions in your performance reviews easier.

I was privileged to be a senior leader in the product development team at Spotify from 2013 until 2016. I joined the company right after the adoption of the now well-known "Spotify Model." As a Tribe Lead and then Alliance Lead, I helped in the models' evolution as the company grew to over 800 developers across five offices on two continents. My time at Spotify was instructive in many ways, and since leaving, I have adopted the lessons I learned as a CTO in multiple companies. While the squads/chapters/tribes/guilds model as a method for scaling agile development is what people focus on, the ideas and values that inspired that model are valuable and applicable across a wide range of organizations. I share those ideas and values in this talk—their application at Spotify and how I have applied them in different organizations since.

Presenting to executives at your company is different than giving a presentation to your team, other teams, at a meetup, a conference, or customers. When asked to present to a group of senior leaders from your company, you need to structure your presentation differently, prepare differently, and communicate differently than when speaking to other audiences. Positive exposure with senior leaders in an organization is valuable for career advancement. It is an excellent opportunity. This talk presents some concrete strategies for planning your presentation, preparing the attendees, handling unexpected questions, going down rabbit holes, driving the attendees to a decision (if that is your goal), and following up afterward. This talk was first presented at LeadDev Live, January 2021

Presenting to executives

Kevin Goldsmith

This talk was presented at the Stretch Leadership Conference in Budapest, Hungary on February 14, 2020 In this talk, Kevin Goldsmith discusses four main challenges to leading distributed teams: Conway’s Law, Amdahl’s Law (as applied to organizations), Empathy, and Communication. He gives examples of these problems and solutions from his experience leading distributed teams over the last 25 years. Distributed teams can either be very powerful, finding the best developers wherever they are, or it can be a nightmare of bad video meetings and flame wars. What makes distributed teams especially challenging? How can we address these challenges to make our distributed organizations more effective?

Leading Distributed Teams - Stretch Conference 2020

We continue to build products allowing our customers to do more things online. While bringing convenience, it also raises the stakes of fraud, for our customers and our companies. The democratization of technology means that those intending to commit fraud can take advantage of some amazingly sophisticated tools. Consumers and governments have little trust in technology due to the questionable ethics of some of the biggest players in the industry. Identity online continues to evolve; governments, businesses, the open source community, and grassroots organizations are all evolving how we validate, protect, and secure our identity. Whether your software is targeted towards businesses or consumers, if you are in a regulated vertical or a non-regulated one, or if you have customers in multiple countries or just one, how you ethically manage customer identity will be crucial to your product’s success (or existence).

Drawing on real-life examples from Avvo, Spotify, Adobe and Microsoft, Kevin Goldsmith explores why you should consider changing your organization to improve your architecture and discusses the successes and failures he’s seen around the interplay of organizational models and software architectures. Kevin often visits companies, where he hears about how they struggle to break up monolithic applications or move to a continuous deployment pipeline. Oftentimes, the organizational structure is clearly making their problems harder but is seen as something that can’t be changed. Kevin relates his own journey to a more experimental organizational style. As a developer at Microsoft, Kevin worked in a rigid hierarchy organized around functional areas. The communication flows within the organization dictated the way it structured its libraries and dependencies. This is the essence of Conway’s law. In this case, the company hierarchy and the architecture it produced was often suboptimal for the problem Kevin and his team were solving, but it was the architectural path of least resistance. When Kevin moved to Adobe and became a senior manager, he started to build his organization in the traditional way. Adobe wanted to create a more fluid and agile architecture for its products, but the company struggled to realize these goals because it was it was too hard to work across teams and reporting lines. The company finally started to make some progress as the organization became more fluid and loosely coupled. Kevin then went to Spotify, which had realized this problem early on and restructured its organization in a way that supported the architectural model that it wanted to build. As a vice president of engineering, Kevin was able to see firsthand how the organizational model simplified the architectural challenges that other companies struggled with while also introducing difficulties that other companies were easily able to overcome. When Kevin joined Avvo as its CTO, the company had the same organization and architectural challenges as many other startups, but rather than attack them only from an architectural angle, Avvo experimented with architecture and organization together to improve its legacy systems and help build new ones faster and with higher quality.

Architecture and organization (Abstractions II version)

Kevin Goldsmith

We attend Agile By Example because we believe in Agile and we want to develop our skills and improve how our teams work. We work Agile because we have had great experiences and success working this way. Our experience is not common! Most "Agile Transformations" fail. Many (if not most) Agile teams have poor Agile practices. People new to Agile struggle through these failed transformations or poor practices and get a wrong impression of Agile, because they have never seen it done well! Poor experience with Agile leads to the many myths and fallacies that developers repeat to each other or post on social media. What can a dedicated Agilist do to inspire their teams to embrace Agile or work on improving their Agile processes? Two years ago, I came to ABE to talk about the culture of continuous improvement that we were building at Avvo. It turns out that one of the biggest challenges we faced was explaining what our vision was, where we were going. I will return for this years' ABE to talk about what a high-performing Agile company looks like, how to create and explain a vision for your teams and I will share the painful lessons we learned at Avvo as we worked on our evolution. I will also share the model I use to help with an Agile cultural transformation.
