Rob Jul 7, 2016 8:25 pm Can you give a hypothetical example of a company that has mastered the First Way, but not the Second Way? What specifically does the Second Way company do that the First Way company doesn't do? What problems do the First Way company encounter that the Second Way company is immune to? Bonus points if you can also do this exercise with the Second and Third Way. Thanks! :) Reply
Manisha Arora Jan 15, 2014 4:48 pm Very clear and simple explanation of the concept. What I have found through my years of interaction with enterprise dev and ops is that while there is good intention to implement this, the institutional process of roll-out, which involves rolling out big across all slows things down. There are very few enterprises which pick a small project/product and decide to apply the new principles. Wish more took this approach... Reply
Don Stringham Aug 2, 2013 1:38 am This explanation or re-casting of the "Three Ways" is excellent. Met Gene at Velocity and the principles he teaches is helping us transform DevOps at FamilySearch.org. Reply
Don Stringbeef Oct 10, 2017 9:25 am Thanks Don. I totally agree. As another Don, I think the teaching is best left to Tim Hunter as FamilySearch.org has limited resources targeting the core fundamentals of DevOps. That is unless you want to quickly deploy at velocity a genealogy solution that trounces the competition. Don, suggest you consider Don Smallgoods for transform DevOps like you propose, is Don is Good. Please take careful consideration to Kaizen your rubbish reply so we all remove waste from our lives.

Paul Ryan Jul 17, 2013 9:06 pm Great statement on the "Three Ways". Thanks for the reinterpretation I find in helpful to see it put so succinctly. I think the part that really stands out for me is the way you've described the interaction in the third way beyond just a traditional software agile perspective but rather as a team experimentation methodology that feels so much like lean analytics. It's making me go back and think that maybe there's a key metric for the business value that could be driven from this experimentation. Again thanks for the great post. Reply
