This is the Engineering Culture Podcast, from the people behind InfoQ.com and the QCon conferences. In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Bas Vodde, one of the formulators of Large Scale Scrum (LeSS) about how LeSS is designed to descale an organisation rather than scaling up to cope with complexity Why listen to this podcast: • LeSS is based on the idea of de-scaling and reducing complexity rather than scaling to cope with complexity • A characteristic of LeSS adoptions is that the concepts of projects and programs tend to completely disappear in favour of product-based working • With LeSS, you have always one Product Owner for the entire product. Product owners per team are considered to be an exceptionally bad idea from a LeSS perspective • LeSS is based on having largely stable, cross-functional teams working on customer centric functionality • LeSS is based on a set of ten principles which guide the approach, and then imperical feedback bas

In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Quinn Slack, CEO of Sourcegraph, about becoming a fully remote company, ways to improve communication and collaboration and the value of Zoomcations Why listen to this podcast: • If working remotely really is optional then it’s really important not to put any subtle pressure that says to people that they need to be in the office – it causes stress and confusion • Coming into a half-empty office feels like being in a disaster movie, and generates subtle pressure on people to come into the office • Working remotely is a forcing function that causes you to tackle problems which get ignored when working in person, such as how you onboard new people and how you encourage collaboration • Making all policies and way-of-working public and visible enhances collaboration and communication • Zoomcations (taking a week and working completely asynchronously, without attending any synchronous meetings) allow for deep work and expose communication &

In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Steve Adolph about the role of the product owner, the rock crusher for user stories and bridging the gap between “the business” and IT Tags: Agile, Agile 2019, Agile conferences, product management, product ownership, business agility, user stories, MVP, MMF Why listen to this podcast: • The role of the product owner often hides the complexity of product management and upstream activities designed to ensure we build the right product • A product backlog should not be like a stack of plates – every item the same size – rather it is like a rock crusher where large items are further away and as they get closer they are broken down into more granular pieces • A good minimum viable product is an experiment designed to answer a specific set of questions about the value and utility of some aspect of a product • Minimum marketable feature set is what is the minimum set of features that we can put out there that peop

In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Lanette Creamer about the need for technical skills by testers and the importance of exploratory testing. Why listen to this podcast: • Despite the importance and value it provides, software testing is not a particularly respected profession • Testers with development skills and developers with testing skills can communicate effectively with each other and pairing results in faster bug identification and removal • Unit tests are an asset of confidence • Testers have an ethical responsibility to think beyond the intended use of the code, considering what could happen and how the product could be misused • Exploratory testing is an approach where instead of trying to prove that the software works, the goal is discovery More on this: Quick scan our curated show notes on InfoQ https://bit.ly/3hQAiuP You can also subscribe to the InfoQ newsletter to receive weekly updates on the hottest topics from professional sof

In this podcast recorded at Agile 2019, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Scott Ambler of Disciplined Agile about the DA toolkit and taking agile beyond software devlopment Why listen to this podcast • Disciplined Agile is a toolkit which provides a view of agile adoption at four levels – software development, DevOps, IT departments and whole enterprise • The toolkit provides context and questions to help you to make better choices for the specific context each team is working in and to do process improvement • Consistency across teams should not be a goal of agile adoption – each team is different, and they must inspect and adapt in ways that work best for their context. There is no one size fits all • Guided continuous improvement gives teams and organisations a head start on improvement by identifying patterns that have worked elsewhere, showing the choices available and the trade-offs that need to be made between different approaches • Good governance is all about motivation, e
