Model Life-Cycle Management at Continental Tires

June 28, 2022 by IT Revolution Leave a Comment

By Dubravko Dolic, Head of Applied Analytics & AI, Continental Tires Since Continental Tires began researching the topic of machine learning and AI several years ago, it has had to manage a lot of challenges to industrialize software products based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence. While many companies started out by trying out different use cases in many business areas, we had the advantage of setting our focus on the industrialization of use cases from the beginning. By … [Read more...]

Value Stream Management and Organizing Around Value

June 14, 2022 by IT Revolution Leave a Comment

By Saahil Panikar, Pricipal Project & Team (with contribution from Cindy Van Epps, Principal, and Jeff Shupack, President, Project and Team) There is an ever-increasing push to organize around the value stream to improve the flow of value to customers. The most important aspect of understanding how to do that is first understanding what the actual value is that you create. For many organizations, there is a heavy weight placed on return on investment (ROI), and profit is the driving force … [Read more...]

Exclusive Excerpt from The Value Flywheel Effect

June 7, 2022 by IT Revolution Leave a Comment

By David Anderson, with Mark McCann and Micheal O'Reilly After twenty-five years in the technology industry, I can now look back and empathize with all the people I drove crazy—mostly IT managers. Let’s face it, software engineers are usually hired to build things quickly, not fix the sociotechnical issues of the larger organization. And yet that is what I have found myself drawn to time and time again. After all, I have always believed that if you fix the system then everyone can build quicker … [Read more...]

Getting Started with Radical Collaboration

May 26, 2022 by IT Revolution 1 Comment

A quote from Matt K. Parker: "Radical collaboration is grounded in the intrinsic motivation of the participants and formed through the freely given commitments of peers. It is always voluntary, never coerced."

In his book A Radical Enterprise: Pioneering the Future of High-Performing Organizations, Matt K. Parker profiles successful companies that have changed their structure from hierarchical to self-managing. Maybe you've read the book or maybe you've heard conversations about it on Twitter or at conferences, and you're left wondering: How do I make this happen in my own organization? In his presentation from DevOps Enterprise Summit Virtual - Europe 2022, Matt tackles this exact question, and we're … [Read more...]

Learning Effectively From Incidents: The Messy Details

May 10, 2022 by IT Revolution Leave a Comment

Much has been written about "organizational learning" and "learning organizations." This continued and growing attention on these topics in the software world is encouraging and warranted! However, creating conditions for people to genuinely and effectively learn from the incidents they experience is difficult to do, never mind sustain over time. The frequency, severity, and even absence of these events do not represent what is learned, who has learned what, or how learning might be taking place … [Read more...]

How Google SRE and Developers Work Together

April 5, 2022 by IT Revolution Leave a Comment

One of the prominent themes in so many DevOps Enterprise Summits has been Site Reliability Engineering, which I've always been dazzled by. There are so many interesting things about these principles and practices that Google pioneered back in 2003. I think it's one of the most incredible examples of how one can create a self-balancing system that helps product teams get features to market quickly, but in a way that doesn't jeopardize the reliability and correctness of the services they create. … [Read more...]

The Case Against Best Practices

March 15, 2022 by Dominica DeGrandis 4 Comments

To the disgruntlement of some people, I have been skeptical of best practices since I was first exposed to the idea. But now more than ever, I fear that teams strive to implement and follow best practices in situations where novel ideas are needed instead. The assumption that published works are the correct approach to take is an interesting topic. I acknowledge the irony of this statement given I have suggested practices and guidance in my book. It’s just that people seem to read things and … [Read more...]
