However, it can also be used to describe the elements of our situation and personal history that influence our thoughts and decisions in ways we don't und…

Developer Productivity and discussions on developers and productivity have never gone away. You heard people talking about this in the 80s and the idea of paying developers by lines of code. And it was even rubbished in the 80s as a foolish thing to do. There's a famous story about developers removing bad code from the code base and having negative…

Bringing mapping to your org. We are doing a wee series on Wardley Mapping, with some practical items. The last two episodes were: 'Wardley Mapping 101' and 'Can Wardley Maps Predict the Future?'. So I thought it would be good to answer a common question: 'That's a cool technique, but how would I do that in my work?'. If you follow Simon Wardley, o…

Can Wardley Maps predict the future, is our topic this week. In our last episode, we talked about Wardley Mapping. We did a 101 last time, explaining the basics. One of the things that we say is that Wardley Mapping is a superpower that helps you predict the future. What do we mean by that? It's like a fortune teller. But it doesn't tell you when e…

Wardley Mapping is a core part of our book: 'The Value Flywheel Effect'. And it's a topic that people always ask about it. It's a difficult thing to learn. We've spent many years thinking about it, stumbling around, and then practicing. So we figured we would do a quick series on Wardley Mapping. We have spent almost 10 years mapping, give or take.…

It began with the forging of the Great Maps and Simon Wardley We've been talking this week about Wardley mapping. Where did you first hear about Wardley Mapping? I first heard Simon Wardley talking at cloud conferences about early cloud. I remember an open source conference and a 20 minute video. When he presented it came across as common sense. Li…

What is Engineering Excellence? Few companies say they don't want good engineering. But they don't define what good looks like. And secondly,engineers are expected to write lots of code. For me, engineering excellence is not writing loads of code. It's about getting into code reliability, feedback loops and how well engineering is functioning. And …

Clarity of Purpose with the North Star Framework For many teams, trying to figure out why you're building what you're building is a good question to ask. I have found out in my career that most teams don't really understand why they're building what they are building. It's interesting to look at the models for creating great software, like The Brit…

Today, we decided we'd have a chat about the 8 principles or tenets for a high performance serverless first team. 1. 'Chase a business outcome or a KPI' A team should know what business KPI they're working towards. You should be able to tap a person on the shoulder and have them tell you what they're working on. And what business impact the work th…

We have picked out our top books that have influenced us and our 'The Flywheel Effect' book. 1. 'Continuous Delivery' came out in 2011. And it has been massively influential in how high performing teams deliver their software today. It is still as fresh as it was when it was written. 2. 'Domain Driven Design' describes good domain models and the im…

This is the sixth and final piece of our Modern Cloud series. Modern Cloud has to represent value for the different personas across the business. The customer is an obvious one. But it's good to talk about internal stakeholders. The CEO and Product personas are very interesting. I think we were happy talking about the Developer and CTO/Architect pe…

We are continuing our series on the modern cloud. During our six part series, we've covered an ‘’Introduction to Modern Cloud’, and talked about the CEO, Product and Developer perspectives. Today, we're talking about the technical leader or CTO perspective, which is linked to long term value. As CTO, you need to be on top of this because you own th…

We're continuing our conversation on Modern Cloud. There are a couple of previous episodes: an overview of the CEO's perspective and an overview of Product's perspective. I figured we would look at the Developer perspective today. Sometimes when you meet with developers, you don't know what's working or not. By mapping out the tech stack, it's easy…

We're continuing our series on Modern Cloud looking at the Modern CEO. What does a CEO expect from Modern Cloud? They want capability from your engineering or IT organisation. They also want speed. And flexibility. I don't think they care about Lambdas or Kubernetes! It's good way to really frustrate your CEO if you tell him all about Kubernetes an…

Many people are asking: 'What does modern cloud, modern application or modern architecture actually mean?' It's hard to explain what it means without thinking about legacy cloud. Gregor Hohpe has a great description. He says; 'If you lift and shift to AWS (or any of the cloud providers), and don't modernise your architecture, all you've got is a fa…

Over the last six episodes, we have gone over the well architected framework from AWS. As a recap, we think this is a fantastic framework. It's about your workloads. Like a physical building, if the foundation is not solid, it may cause structural problems that undermine the integrity and function of the building. So you need to look at all six pil…

The team talk about serverless and security. Sometimes there's a CISO who doesn't want to touch Serverless because they believe it's not secure. Is serverless more secure or less secure? We've talked in previous sessions about rapid delivery and the fact that we're assembling or aggregating various components or managed services together to form a …

The team looks at clarity of purpose and the North Star Framework and why orgs don't understand the reasons behind transformation or trying to improve and the fact that it's not based on core understanding of purpose for why you doing the things you're doing. Businesses talk about wanting to corner the market or drive up the rate of business. But t…
