Why your team is slowing down
Abstract:
Do bugs and technical debt make you want to pull your hair out? Does your backlog never seem to shrink but only grow? Is your velocity (and roadmap) unpredictable too?
Yes? Then this a session for you!
First of all, it's crucial to understand the effects of bugs and technical debt on our ability to deliver what we promised/planned (in time). How often have you not been able to complete your sprint goal because too much unaccounted work (bugs/incidents) popped up during the course of the sprint? Or how often have you 'almost' (so not) been able to deliver features by the end of the sprint because you just missed the weekly release window?...
Once we understand effects of bugs and technical debt and also know how they originated, we can move on to some simple rules or guidelines you can start using today that will help you get a hold on your technical debt that keeps pilling on whilst slowing down your delivery frequency.
During this session you'll learn more about (data-driven) decision making (including tools/models), DevOps- and Lean principles like 'Good is good enough' or 'Decide as late as possible' and how these (attitudes) will accelerates your teams decisiveness and flow.
Join us and learn how to obtain a balanced delivery system for features, bug fixes and solving technical debt.
