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...

Our software craft is constantly changing. Technology evolves, and our skills and practices develop as well. How about the teams we are part of? And the organizations? The evolution at the team and organization level is slower but has the potential to be more disruptive. Our brain likes routine, and it is hardwired that way....

Organisations attempt to transform their structure in many different ways. Usually, they resort to external help to move the needle forward. More often than one would like, externals impose the new organisation structure on people. Well, you can picture what happens next in the story. There are different approaches to organisation evolution (as opposed to transformation)....

To really understand what our users need so that we can build the right thing, we want to have a first-hand experience of 'real-life stories' before we model and create our software. To quote Alberto Brandolini "it is not the domain expert's knowledge that goes into production, it is the developer's assumption of that knowledge...

Effective test automation can help you speed up time to market and build quality in. However, when we start implementing test automation, we usually require multiple applications to accept a specific business feature, especially with a microservices architecture. These tests, which we call end-to-end tests, are a continuous delivery anti-pattern. In Continuous Delivery, we always...

Recently ABN AMRO embraced their DevOps journey, recognising that they need to continue in the path of continuous improvement. The market demands are high, and they continue to crunch knowledge and create new insights on top of the previous transformations.https://speakerdeck.com/joaoasrosa/a-devops-journey-at-abn-amro-at-devopsdays-online-2020Date: 9 July 2020 Location: Online Website: https://devopsdays.org/events/2020-amsterdam/welcome/

Many organisations execute IT transformations to be more efficient and effective. However, the context differs between organisations, and there is no blueprint to copy IT transformations across organisations. We need to listen to the signals from inside of the organisation, learn, and adapt. In this experience report, we detail our approach and learning for a...
