"Self­organizing agile team" may be the most over-­used, misunderstood, vague, and misleading term of the decade. So what is a self-­organizing agile team? How are self-­organizing teams different from other teams? How can managers and team members get the self-­organizing mojo going? What are the challenges that self­-organizing teams face? Esther explores all these questions and goes beyond the buzzword.

Google Tech Talks September 4, 2008 ABSTRACT High performance depends on the self-organizing capability of teams. Understanding how this works and how to avoid destroying self-organization is a challenge. Until you understand complex adaptive systems and how Toyota works it is difficult to improve team velocity. Jeff will discuss three core topics: 1. Shock therapy as a strategy for booting up teams. 2. The Cosmic Stopping Problem, otherwise known as the choice uncertainty principle. 3. Punctuated equilibrium - how software systems evolve Take advantage of these concepts and you may find a way to achieve the ultimate potential of a team. This session will be a "Deep Agile" presentation keying off topics presented to engineers at MIT. Speaker: Jeff Sutherland Dr. Jeff Sutherland is one of the co-creators of the Scrum software development process. He and Ken Schwaber invented Scrum in 1993. Since then he has worked with many software companies and IT organizations to extend and enhance this process. For more info please Google Jeff or visit his web site.

Recording of a workshop given at the Scrum Gathering in Chicago, Spring 2008. The workshop talks about breaking mindsets with some radical thoughts, what it is to BE an Agile Coach, what it means to coach high performance teams and ends with a tidbit on Powerful Questions one can take away and use.

Content Warning: Thank you Janice for bringing to my attention my commentary on Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) in this keynote. I deeply regret making light of ADD and even using it as the butt of a joke to segue to my next point. I realize this creates a disconnection between me and those for whom ADD is a daily reality, which is not my intention. For this I am sorry. - Lyssa Adkins, October 2021- On great agile teams, conflict is constant and welcomed by all as a catapult to higher performance. It is about human beings working together, day after day, in the maelstrom of constant collaboration and change. http://starwest.techwell.com On many agile development teams, conflict lurks under the surface and can erupt as a volcano of destruction and suffering. On many agile teams, conflict is viewed mostly as a distraction that keeps the team from getting the job done. However, on great agile teams, conflict is constant and welcomed by all as a catapult to higher performance. In all these situations, conflict is not a mechanistic system one can simply take apart, fix, and put back together. It is not about mechanisms; it is about human beings working together, day after day, in the maelstrom of constant collaboration and change. In this turbulence, how can teams chart a course through conflict and turn it into a force for greatness? Lyssa Adkins reveals a conflict model that helps you do just that, walking you through five levels of conflict from "Problem to Solve" to "World War" with each step finely tuned to view conflict in a deeply human and humane way. After all, agile is about people and interactions and nowhere is this more apparent than in the midst of conflict. Watch this video to learn a framework you can use right away to help your teams navigate conflict and move toward high performance.

🗓️ Upcoming developer events: https://dev.events Since Kent Beck wrote the book on TDD in 2002 a lot of words have been dedicated to the subject. But many of them propagated misunderstandings of Kent's original rules so that TDD practice bears little resemblance to Kent's original ideas. Key misunderstandings around what do I test, what is a unit test, and what is the 'public interface' have led to test suites that are brittle, hard to read, and do not support easy refactoring. In this talk, we re-discover Kent's original proposition, discover where key misunderstandings occurred and look at a better approach to TDD that supports software development instead of impeding it. Be prepared from some sacred cows to be slaughtered and fewer but better tests to be written.

I’ve been using TDD/BDD at work for the last 12 years, I also teach and mentor teams on this subject. I’ve found that misconceptions and errors in this field are shared, and that most of us make the same mistakes. Give me 45 minutes of your time, and I’ll try to address the most common problems, hoping to improve your TDD/BDD situation as much as possible. I’ll try to solve: Long running tests problem, by bringing back the correct shape of test-pyramid with power of Hexagonal Architecture (Ports & Adapters) with practical examples in Spring. Miscommunication and lost art of requirement gathering, by focusing on readability, introducing just enough of Domain Specific Language, and sorting out what is important with the power of Spock. Difficult test setup and environment requirements, by using command and conquer, modularity, monitoring. Mock abuse, by showing what are the benefits of in-memory implementations. And hopefully more. Most teams that do not write tests first do it, because it’s hard for them. I’ll try to show you, how to make it easy. Real life examples included. If you are not using TDD/BDD, this might also interest you - you’ll know how to start the right way.

This interview was recorded for the GOTO Book Club. #GOTOcon #GOTObookclub http://gotopia.tech/bookclub Read the full transcription of the interview here: https://gotopia.tech/bookclub/episodes/learning-test-driven-development Saleem Siddiqui - Author of "Learning Test-Driven Development" & Principal Architect at SPR Dave Farley - Author of "Modern Software Engineering", Continuous Delivery & DevOps Pioneer Find plenty more from Dave on his @ContinuousDelivery YouTube channel. DESCRIPTION You may think test-driven development wouldn't work in your preferred programming language, or that it would disrupt your code writing — this Book Club episode proves otherwise. Saleem Siddiqui, author of “Learning Test-Driven Development,” and Dave Farley, author of "Modern Software Engineering," review the multiple ways test-driven development can yield more effective results and produce higher quality code.
