April 29, 2016Episode 106: Turning the Agile Ship Around with David Marquet
Tony, Renee, Craig and special guest host Tyson Nutt catchup with David Marquet, author of “Turn The Ship Around!” and the “Turn Your Ship Around” companion workbook at the Agile Australia conference and talk about how similar a nuclear submarine and an Agile team really are:
leadership is not about telling people what to do and how to do it
all investments in human beings are long term
the approach spread from the bottom up, now the book is on the official reading list of two Navy’s (including New Zealand)
“I intend to” does not mean they get to do it – gives psychological ownership and to spark the conversation
thinking out loud is about saying what is going on in our head, this even works when teaching your children how to drive!
feed the beast – don’t respond by hiding, feed them with as much information as you can as data puts you in control
you can’t empower people, you can only unempower them
you give control while ensuring competence and clarity
whilst not telling people what to do can be good for their learning, sometimes you just need to tell people what to do (in the absence of competence and clarity)
good to have you team hold you accountable when you fall back to old habits
deal with the “frozen middle” by giving them decision making authority they previously didn’t have
when learning about a new team ask “what do you hope I will change” and “what do you hope I won’t change”, this is easy when you have not created the culture
“I imagine a world where we all find satisfaction in our work” – you need embrace your fears, on a submarine that can be fear of death
need to seek permission to proceed and embrace feedback rather than pursuing signoff
instead of saying “are you sure?”, ask “how sure are you?”
David is working on a couple of new books – a book of success stories and a colouring book
when talking to yourself, use the third person for motivation

January 25, 2016Episode 102: The Essence of Microservices (and Agile) with Scott Shaw
Tony and Craig are at YOW! Conference and in the hallway ambush Scott Shaw, the Director of Technology (Australia) at ThoughtWorks and talk about the state of microservices and Agile:
Scott’s YOW! talk “Avoiding Speedbumps on the Road to Microservices“
Microservices are just a different way to build applications that get away from monoliths
Beth Skurrie, Evan Bottcher, Jon Eaves case study at YOW! – “The Odyssey – From Monoliths to Microservices at realestate.com.au“
Essentials for microservices include Domain Driven Design, security and identity and change management
Simon Brown talk at YOW! – “Agility and the Essence of Software Architecture“
Cloud and infrastructure as code has changed the way we look at applications and have allowed microservices
The essence of Agile is the team taking ownership of the business success of whatever it is they are building and keeping that ownership over the longer term
Microservices take advantage of Conway’s Law – the teams closest to the systems should own them or change your structure to mimic the systems you want to look after
There should be no difference between maintenance and evolution – it is all one of the thing that goes towards the success of the business
Adrian Cockcroft defines microservices as “a service-oriented architecture composed of loosely coupled elements that have bounded contexts”
Microservices should be no bigger than a concept that fits in your head
Sam Newman book “Building Microservices“
Agile approaches that are evolving include Docker and functional programming languages (especially Scala, Clojure and Go), the importance of craftsmanship and skills
Defending the Free Internet
ThoughtWorks Technology Radar
Microservices in a Nutshell by Martin Fowler and James Lewis
