Marked and unmarked hazards exist on ski runs. Especially in the spring.

Are you trying to improve how you do SW dev & del? My passion is helping people like U. One way I do that is by opening my schedule for a week every Spring and Fall to have free 30-minute discussions. Here is this Spring’s link to my Calendar.

Trying to understand and optimize the bottleneck — that is what really optimizes the flow of value.

#DevOps #DevOps Community #ContinuousImprovement #TOC

Why is a stable quality signal important before you start building in quality?

It keeps developers from wasting time debugging issues that weren't associated with their code change.

How do you optimize throughput for software without overwhelming and frustrating the development teams?

This question comes up so often I wrote a new white paper to provide additional perspective.

'I’ve got the machines. I’ve got the people. I’ve got all the materials I need. I know there’s a market out there, because the competitors’ stuff is selling. So what the hell is it?”

― Eliyahu M. Goldratt, The Goal: A Process of Ongoing Improvement

If the bottleneck for the organization is development or the release, then improving flow through the requirements process is just going to build a bigger pile of work in the process of sitting in front of the real bottleneck.

The best way to figure out which test to start with is to go to your manual testers and ask what types of things they frequently see in this particular application that make it not very useful to test.

What is a stable quality signal designed to ensure?

✅ Automated tests will run well
✅ Sturdy test environments
✅ Repeatability/reliability

I would like to see the software industry shift from all these complex frameworks — copying what works for somebody else — to really coming up with a systematic approach to drive continuous improvement.

#DevOps #DevOps Community

From a continuous improvement perspective, we want to start improving the quality that we’re building into the product at a rate that the developers can handle.

They need to get good at bringing in changes without breaking existing functionality.

'People generally want to do the right thing, but in a large organization, they frequently don't really understand what is the right thing.”

― W. Edwards Deming, Out of the Crisis

The implication for software is that it should be able to achieve similar benefits from systematic approaches as long as we pick the right ones and the industry stays focused on continually improving them.

#DevOps #DevOps Community #SoftwareDevelopment

Software is unique in that once you’ve got the repetitive tasks automated and stable, the primary things that you’re trying to find are product defects caused by manual work.

Somebody usually has coded something in such a way that has created a product defect.

I think one major difference between manufacturing and software is that with manufacturing, they made the shift to building in quality decades ago.

With software, the accepted practice in many circles is still to inspect in quality.

Do you agree?

A culture of continuous improvement that is led from the top with strong leaders is an important element of an organization.

What approaches do you think benefit the software industry?
