AI in the SDLC Transformation: A Single-Drive, Decision-Focused Perspective

Framing the Challenge: AI and the Mikado Effect Adopting AI in the software delivery lifecycle is less like installing a new tool and more like playing a game of Mikado, a game in which players carefully remove individual sticks from a tangled pile without disturbing the rest.

Team Topologies is not enough; you need a management model to match! – FastFlowConf UK

Team Topologies have crossed the chasm. Folks are using it, and as with any good approach based on patterns, they discover blockers to flow. They discuss those and try to improve. However, there is always some feeling that dark patterns pull away the evolution of teams and their interactions. The organization's design and software architecture...

A messy Team Interactions Modeling diagram, which doesn't follow the rules, and tries to represent the full enterprise

The most important part of Team Topologies is also the one most people overlook
