In small development organizations, software teams are usually able to deliver value independently of other teams. In these organizations, it is easy to give teams total autonomy. What happens as the company and systems grow to where there are multiple teams to organize and deliver value together? Usually the response from the leadership team is to align the teams, but that alignment is usually at the expense of the teams’ autonomy. How are teams supposed to be both aligned and autonomous? What is the role of leadership in both aligning the teams around a common purpose and building the environment so the teams remain autonomous?
In this session we’re going to learn how to be an empowering leader who uses alignment as a pre-condition to high autonomy. We’ll learn a recipe for creating alignment and how having alignment and autonomy relates to Daniel Pink’s Autonomy, Mastery, Purpose and to David Marquet’s Leader’s Give Control models.

Software development... for all? (keynote at ICSOFT'2024)miso_uam
Our world runs on software. It governs all major aspects of our life. It is an enabler for research and innovation, and is critical for business competitivity. Traditional software engineering techniques have achieved high effectiveness, but still may fall short on delivering software at the accelerated pace and with the increasing quality that future scenarios will require.
To attack this issue, some software paradigms raise the automation of software development via higher levels of abstraction through domain-specific languages (e.g., in model-driven engineering) and empowering non-professional developers with the possibility to build their own software (e.g., in low-code development approaches). In a software-demanding world, this is an attractive possibility, and perhaps -- paraphrasing Andy Warhol -- "in the future, everyone will be a developer for 15 minutes". However, to make this possible, methods are required to tweak languages to their context of use (crucial given the diversity of backgrounds and purposes), and the assistance to developers throughout the development process (especially critical for non-professionals).
In this keynote talk at ICSOFT'2024 I presented enabling techniques for this vision, supporting the creation of families of domain-specific languages, their adaptation to the usage context; and the augmentation of low-code environments with assistants and recommender systems to guide developers (professional or not) in the development process.

Impact of Machine Learning on Testers
• Some of the repetitive tasks in testing
can be learned by machine learning.
• It is possible to simulate human actions
like scrolling and swiping on mobile
phones using ML.
• A new breed of testers who will
understand ML enough so that they
can train the machines.
• This new breed will face ambiguous
expectations and less repeatable
workflows because ML will generate
rules at runtime.
• Record and playback will be replaced by
train and test.
• ML will help us by pointing to most
susceptible parts that need our attention.
• ML will work from within the application
to inform us what to test -- in a way
writing test cases and scenarios.
• This implies that most of the testers will
have to acquire developer skills.
Alternatively testing can be done by
developers who will find it more
interesting!

24. AGILE2017 Top 10 Takeaways
5. Containerized Microservices=NoOps
• No need of scripts to bring up virtual
machines.
• Bye-bye deploying code in environments
configured by chef or puppet; welcome
container images=config+code in the
deployment pipeline.
• Low friction way to distribute software
across Dev, test, pre-prod and prod.
• Faster startup and shutdown. No need to
re-boot the OS.
• Better env fidelity = reduced ops role.
• Applications are decoupled from the
infrastructure.
• Orchestration platforms provide scaling
and resiliency.
• License costs: one server can have
many containers.
• Containers are programmatically
generated and have smaller attack
surface - hence more secure.
• Each microservice does one thing well
and is loosely coupled with other
microservices - ideally suited for CD.

– In pursuit of passion
– For business reason
• Both formal and the informal role needs to
be backfilled
• Over-communication helps
• Trading places in mobs at Hunter
• Deliberate re-teaming at Spotify; teams
formed by self selection

8. Estimating Time/Cost
1. Estimating Time/Effort/Cost - Troy Magennis
a. Use sampling - 7 to 11 samples sufficient for 90% confidence
b. Use statistical tools to estimate/predict
c. All of Troy’s docs and spreadsheets tools available free Bit.ly/SimResources
2. Don’t even use story points! If you do, just use 1, 3, 5. Better yet, slice
them small & just count them.
3. #NoEstimate Update - still a passionate and raging debate!
31
32. AGILE2017 Top 10 Takeaways
#NoEstimates
• #Noestimates is a hashtag for the topic of
exploring alternatives to estimates for
making decisions in software
development. That is, ways to make
decisions with “no estimates”
• This is the main premise behind
#noestimates: estimates do not directly
add value to your process, so we want
to find ways to reduce the estimation
process or even stop it where possible
• #Noestimates isn’t about ditching
estimates. It is about improving the
way we work such that estimates
become redundant

9. Get Them “Hooked”!
• Prioritise based on outcomes- do what
is most effective in changing user
behavior is of high value and should be
done first.
• If user stories don’t intend changing
user behaviour then something is
missing.
• Most decisions are made emotionally
and automatically.
• Herding: Everyone is doing it.
• Artificial scarcity: Only 20 in stock.
• Anchoring: Maximum order 12.

11. Surprises at Spotify!
• No Model exactly represents reality.
Some models are useful.
• Pairing is used differently in different
squads.
• TDD is practiced in some squads but not
in most squads.
• Light coding standards- devs not aware of
buzzwords like “Clean Code” or ”SOLID
principles”.
• Spotify is trying to implement; Pivotal’s
pairing model- but squads are pushing
back.
• They prefer “Move fast & break things”
over “Move slow to move fast”.
• Spotify compensates for lack of process
by hiring bright engineers.
• No squads have agile estimates,
burndown charts or visual aids.
• Some of these problems are rooted in
Spotify’s hyper growth.
• Too much autonomy, when everyone is
accountable no one is and complacency
are the reasons.

12. Architect Role/Architecture
• Architecture is a shared responsibility, no "official" architect role
• Define "Landing Zones" upfront - a range (min, target, outstanding) of
acceptable values of essential system characteristics/qualities
– e.g. thruput - min 150K, target 270K, outstanding 320K
– tweak them along the way
• Architecture work “rolled into” user stories, and keep it visible
• Actively manage Technical Debt, and keep it visible
– “Floss” Refactoring: small, regular done, like hygiene
– “Root Canal” Refactoring: protracted, infrequent, undertaken only when in pain

Soundbites - VJ
• Set based design works better than point
based design. Keep multiple options
open.
• Avoid taking design decisions when cone
of uncertainty is wide-wait for the last
opportune moment.
• Way to change culture at NUMI was not
by changing how people think but by
changing how the behave. -Jez Humble
• Every business is a software business. -
Anders Wallgren
• Metrics that compare the team to
themselves are less toxic. Use ratios to
compare across teams.
• “Time taken to get the feedback” is the
single metric that matters.
• If you don’t know how to measure what
you want, you will end up wanting what
you measure. -Cheryl Hammond
• The longer you delay the release the
more is the pressure to accommodate
changes/additions.
• Plans are useless but planning is
indispensable. -Johanna Rothman

Soundbites - HE
1. There are two chronic complaints about software development
a. Requirement are not clear (enough!)
b. Estimates are not accurate (enough!)
2. To reduce bias of HiPPO, vote first and then discuss, rather than
discuss and then vote (people get to know leader's opinion and align
along that)
3. Two different types of refactoring
a. Flossing: small, regular done, like hygiene
b. Root Canal: protracted, infrequent, undertaken only when in pain

4. Outcome (customer impact) vs. output (working software). Same team
should own both, today someone higher-up owns the outcome, while
team owns the output.
5. Pair programming and peer code reviews are far more helpful (for risk
management) than any other external review.
6. Build a system (dev/test) where the ”right” thing to do is also the
easier thing to do, e.g. automated testing.
