1/ Thread with the material I'm using to learn about #WardleyMapping πŸ—ΊπŸ§­

I discovered about Warley Mapping when I went to @ddd_eu in 2018 and Simon was presenting the next talk πŸ‘‡

@ddd_eu 2/ During the same conference, I attended the open discussion with Dave Snowden, Andra Sonea, and Simon Wardley.

I was amazed at how they were able to communicate complexity. Yet, I was so far into understanding the concepts!

@ddd_eu 3/ The concepts described during the talks, remained back in my mind and I rewatched the videos several times during the past years.

I went into reading the Creative Common Book by @swardley

medium.com/wardleymaps
@ddd_eu @swardley 4/ I tried to read it several times during 2018. I was unable to really grasp the surface. I put Wardley Mapping on hold.

Lucky me, people joined the mapping movement and built a stronger community.
@ddd_eu @swardley 5/ That's why some years later, in 2020, I found the wardley-mapping-community! Awesome content there! I could learn from more people πŸ§‘πŸ™Œ

github.com/wardley-maps-c…
@ddd_eu @swardley 6/ A webpage that I used a lot as a reference has been learnwardleymapping.com

I liked how all the concepts are synthesized and accessible! πŸ‘€
@ddd_eu @swardley 7/ Then, in 2021, @HiredThought made awesome video content on learning practical wardley mapping. Thanks so much! The courses made mapping more accessible to me πŸ€—

learn.hiredthought.com
@ddd_eu @swardley @HiredThought 8/ I started to learn by practicing and reading other people's work. Here is another book I also read

The Art of Strategy by @erik_schon

leanpub.com/TheArtOfStrate…
@ddd_eu @swardley @HiredThought @erik_schon 9/ I recently started reading these two books.

UN Global Platform Handbook on Information Technology Strategy: Wardley Mapping with example SDGs maps

@ddd_eu @swardley @HiredThought @erik_schon 10/ Reaching Cloud Velocity: A Leader's Guide to Success in the AWS Cloud

amzn.to/3uSRmHX
@ddd_eu @swardley @HiredThought @erik_schon 11/ I will share more about them when I finish πŸ˜„
@ddd_eu @swardley @HiredThought @erik_schon 12/ and last but not least, I'm also learning by practicing and sharing with others!

@ddd_eu @swardley @HiredThought @erik_schon 13/ I hope I could point you to some relevant content to learn about wardley mapping and which journey I took.

And you? How are you learning about mapping? Which material did you use? Do you have any published material about it? Love to read you!
14/ another awesome resource that @erik_schon just shared with me!!

πŸ‘‡

@erik_schon Here is a conference about Wardley Mapping! It's remote-friendly πŸ‘‡

1/ Side Project C started πŸš€

It came after understanding the paradigm shift from Organizing teams, where we see a tendency toward @TeamTopologies, #DDD, and #DynamicReteaming as new emerging practices vs the old paradigm. Wardley Map about the Manager's needs towards Organizing Tea
2/ With a higher #TeamTopologies adoption, it creates new sorts of needs for managers.

Needs that I'm currently facing and I'm currently solving with Excel files to gather team's feedback and improve my organization sensing
3/ I will make the side project publicly as soon as I feel confident about it. Yet, I do a Tweet about it because it boosts my commitment to the side project πŸ˜„βœŒοΈ

1/ I cannot stress enough the importance of junior people in the organization

I'm amazed by how much you learn when working with them. They really show where the organization/team can do better. It can be uncomfortable because they are sharing your weaknesses
2/ Don't think that they should know better to do the job, but why do we create a place where juniors cannot contribute or they have a hard time providing value? What can we do better to help them perform and learn faster?
3/ Juniors help Seniors find their weaknesses, more than seniors helping seniors. Since they show the areas to improve so easily!

- Why take that long to understand this code?
- Why is so hard to do a unit test?
- Why do they get lost in the code structure?

1/ I'm doing some reflection on how #DDD can help you spot a Platform as a Product Team from @TeamTopologies wrongly applied Image
2/ Indeed, I think we created a Platform Team because the intention was to reduce cognitive load on teams on a specific part.

BUT, on the recent learnings, we think it might be a Bounded Context by itself, a Supporting Subdomain at least.
3/ This is one of the cases in which using different perspectives to the same problem space helps you find the best team composition.

1/ "We expect that anything can happen and we are never prepared for anything"

This sentence resonated a lot with me

Regardless of the risk management, regardless of being adaptative, regardless of how prepared do you think you're, World keeps surprising you
2/ As a manager, your job is to make the teams, product, and business more resilient and adaptative to survive in several situations.

Yet, I never felt that we reached a level where we can say

"We're safe!"

It's not viable.
3/ You manage the areas that are more probable to happen and the impact is higher. Then, you just accept those situations that are outside that scope, to be handled as you can.

1/ We have been debating with some colleagues about the importance of learning about our decisions within the organization, and how the fast rotation of talent that's happening lately is affecting the decision-making outcomes quality.
2/ Here we had the supposition that the feedback cycle between a decision is made and understanding the consequences are long enough. We always thrive for fast feedback loops, yet we acknowledge that that's not always possible.
3/ It's not the same doing TDD within a unit test - feedback cycle of seconds-minutes vs a business decision and go-to-market strategy that can take months.

We are talking about the latter. Where those business learnings are most valuable for the organization

1/ When you start doing project development, you find yourself with tight deadlines, a lot of tradeoffs in quality, and money spend.

You start feeling that you might be doing something wrongly. You feel that you're not delivering business value

Thread 🧡
2/ You learn about Agile, and why deliver working software as soon as possible. You adopt Scrum, but with a project mindset. So, it's a fake Scrum. It's more like a 2 weeks waterfall.

Yet you adopt a very important ceremony important, the Retrospective.
3/ Based on Retrospectives, you start questioning yourself how are you working. Why can we deliver value to the customer? Why aren't we customer-focused?

You start looking for alternatives.

PRODUCT! PRODUCT-MINDSET!

Just burn the Project Management! πŸ”₯
