X : We use methods to explore then switch to lean and finally agile.
Me : In old money that is agile / xp (i.e. explore), lean (e.g. scrum + mvp + other artifacts) and six sigma (i.e. what some of today's "agile" frameworks are desperately trying to emulate).
i.e. we probably need @KentBeck to reclaim the Agile Manifesto because some "Agile" frameworks seem to have little to do with it.
My all time favourites are "agile" specification processes. It's a wonderful juxtoposition of horror.

X : I'm getting confused by the value chain axis on a Wardley Map.
Me : That's a good sign. Ditch it.
X : Eh? Isn't it important.
Me : It's purely scaffolding. Think of it like training wheels. You're growing beyond it.
X : I don't understand.
Me : Ok. Let's start with a tea shop
Me : The first thing we put down are the users (i.e. anchors of the map). In this case, we have the public (who has need to drink tea) and the business (who has a need to sell tea). There are of course many more users.
X : Like regulators?
Me : Yes. But we will start simple.
Me : You then expand this graph (and it is a graph) by exploring those needs to create chains of needs i.e. what does a cup of tea need ... it needs tea, it needs a cup etc.
X : It needs staff.
Me : Of course, that's part of sharing the final map. People find missing components.

I can't stop laughing (h/t @futuristpaul). I was doing this about a decade ago, I even gave a public presentation on this circa 2010. I find it hilarious that execs are still leaking such information through private jet use. It's pathetically easy to mask the signals ->
The number of times I've used this in presentations over the last decade ... I'm truly amazed that ... well, actually ... given the leading edge to laggards in the corporate world can be 25 years, I suppose execs will be leaking like sieves for another decade.
However ... the National Business Aviation Association quote to "develop new tools for more effectively blocking data on private aircraft" ... is the icing on the cake, I'm currently rolling around in fits of laugher. Where do they dig these muppets up from?

X : Do people use maps in security?
Me : Yes.
X : Could it be used to stop people cheating in games?
Me : Video games?
X : Yes
Me : That was solved decades ago. You give everyone command line access to instant god mode commands.
X : No, I mean for games like Apex Legends.
Me : Hmmm .. I assume this is a fps?
X : Yes
Me : And, people are cheating to get higher up some leaderboards?
X : Yes
Me : So, give everyone god mode and stop being sad bastards. More important things to do in life.
X : No, I think you misunderstand ...
Me : Oh, I think I understand. This is an online game creating status for people through imaginary leaderboards where you have to pay to play, pay to get better gear and we keep you addicted with random big drops and rapid turnover? Roughly?

#Eğitim ve #YKS19 hakkındaki tartışmalar devam ederken, #Fransa'da Napolyon'un emriyle 1808'den beri uygulanan "bac" sınavından söz etmekte fayda var.

Bu, her lise öğrencisinin mezuniyet için geçmek zorunda olduğu açık uçlu bir sınav.

Sorulara birkaç örnek vermek istiyorum:
• İnsanlık kendisi hakkında illüzyonlar yaratmaya mahkum mudur?

• Bilimsel bir hipotezi ispatlayabilir miyiz?

• Gerçeği aramak bizim görevimiz midir?

• Devlet olmadan daha özgür olur muyduk?

• Doğal arzular gerçek olabilir mi?

• Çalışmanın tek amacı faydalı olmak mı?
• Her inanç, mantığa ters olmak zorunda mıdır?

• Geçmişin tutsakları mıyız?

• Teknolojik gelişmeler özgürlüğümüzü tehdit eder mi?

• İmkansızı arzulamak absürt mü?

• Teknik gelişmeler insanları dönüştürür mü?

• Dil, düşünceye ihanet eder mi?

domani i nostri questuanti vanno a chiedere l'elemosina a bruxelles
in genere bruxelles è prodiga di brioches fresche, ma sono rimaste quelle secche e scadute
e non è detto che siano commestibili così oltre scadenza

Seeing a trend in large (and not originally software based) companies making a move to more outcome oriented models and feature teams not understand that you need #prodmgmt leadership.

You can’t have a product organization of a bunch of entry level folks and expect magic. /1
What these companies typically want to do is move people from other parts of the business into PO roles on Scrum teams.

Totally fine. You can do that and train those people.

But who is pulling all those scrum teams together into a holistic product vision for the group? /2
Who is going to keep mentoring those people once the trainers and coaches you hired leave?

Who is going to align the business strategy back to the software strategies?

Scrum clergy member (SCM): "Sinner, why are you not hold a scheduled retrospective after every sprint?"
Agile Atheist (AA): "Who says we do sprints"
SCM: "So when do you release working software?"
AA: "As often as possible"
Thread 1/n
SCM: "But then when do you refine your stories?"
AA: "Whenever we get new information"
2/n
SCM: "And what about your retrospective?"
AA: "Which 1?"
SCM: "The one you should have every sprint if you actually did them!"
AA: "We schedule 1when we feel the need which isn't very often since we retro every standup, every story refinement, every architectural discussion"

I'm only halfway through Bertrand Meyer's 2014 book, "Agile! The Good, the Hype and the Ugly", but it's already proven its worth as a lucid, unrestrained appraisal of #Agile principles and methodologies. Here are a few passages that resonated with me...
"#XP's insistence that [pair programming] should be the absolute rule [...] makes little sense conceptually, as it neglects the role of programmer personality (some excellent developers like to concentrate alone and will resent having to be paired) [...]"
"Starting any significant software project (anything beyond a couple of months and a couple of developers) without taking the time to write some basic document defining core requirements is professional malpractice."
