Agile – Ein Sehnsuchtsort

In der Dezemberausgabe des Javamagazins findet sich mein aktueller Leitartikel zum Thema Agiles Arbeiten.

Der ganze Artikel findet sich unter:

Wer das Thema gerne vertiefen möchte, ist herzlich eingeladen zur W-JAX in München. Auf dem diesjährigen FLOW-Day werden wir das Thema vertiefen und spannende Ansätze kennenlernen, um die Art wie wir Software entwickeln weiter zu verbessern.

Softwareentwicklung als Soziotechnisches System

Das Thema Soziotechnische Systeme gewinnt in der Softwareentwicklung zunehmend an Bedeutung. Und das ist gut so.

„Im Allgemeinen muss das Management erkennen, dass der Erfolg eines Unternehmens davon abhängt, wie es als soziotechnisches System funktioniert, nicht einfach als ein technisches System mit ersetzbaren Individuen, die hinzugefügt werden und sich anpassen müssen.“

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soziotechnisches_System

Dies ist eine wichtige Erkenntnis, da die erfolgreiche Entwicklung von Software in Rahmen von Projekten, sowie deren kontinuierliche und nachhaltige Weiterentwicklung in hohem Maße von Faktoren des sozialen Gefüges und deren Zusammenarbeit abhängt.

Das Wissen darüber machen wir uns seit über 25 Jahren in zahlreichen Projekten zunutze und lassen es regelmäßig in die Projektarbeit einfliessen. Beispielsweise wenn es darum geht Teams zusammenzustellen und zu führen.

Einige Beispiele finden sich unter https://cswob.de/

Das geht so weit, das wir mit der Creative Software Workbench einen Rahmen geschaffen haben, in dem die Säule Menschen und Teams eine zentrale Rolle spielt.

Das Wissen und die Erfahrung aus vielen praktischen Anwendungen und Erfolgsgeschichten lässt sich in andere Projekte integrieren. Dabei unterstützen wir sie gerne…

Aliens and Avatars – Explorative Product Deveploment in Action

On this years W-JAX I had the pleasure to host a session about explorative product development. The session was about the appropriate mixture of methods and software architecture especially, but not only, for projects in the pioneering phase. A good example of the Creative Software Workbench in action. You can see the session recording on entwickler.de (subscription required).

Lean Coffee at Jax Innovation Forum and DevOpsCon

This autumn I am going to moderate the Jax Innovation Forum and the DevOps Transformation Day again. On both days we will also have Lean Coffee Sessions, a format that incorporates input from the attendees. It is very energetic, interesting and fun. On top of that we conduct it even in hybrid mode, in which you can participate no matter whether you are on site or in the office. If you are interested in those kinds of events we can also carry it out it in your organisation. The event will be adjusted according to your corporate needs. You can find more information here.

JAX Agile Day 2022

We are doing agile for over 20 years now. It shows that Agile is not just a flash in the pan like many other trends in IT. Agile has brought innovation to many organizations and changed the way we develop software today. This is already a great success . According to the principle of inspect and adapt the agile movement is still evolving and entering more and more domains. That’s why the main theme of this year’s Agile Day is Agile beyond Development. We are widening the scope to aspects and departments outside of development to take a more systemic view on modern software development.

So, this year the JAX Agile Day is going to be great again. You can see all sessions here. I am very glad to be your host on 2. Mai in Mainz or wherever you like, because the day is going to be streamed directly to you office as well. We are also making the day more interactive for you by integrating a Lean Coffee Session.

And that’s not all. For the upcoming conferences we are going to rename the day and open the agenda to create a space for strong innovation in professional software development. But this is something that has to be revealed later. For the time being I hope you take part in the conference and to meet you there.

Agile Day at W-JAX

From 8.November 21 to 12.November 21 W-JAX is taking place in Munich. W-JAX is the winter version of JAX, which is the leading conference for professional software development in Germany. This year W-JAX will be hybrid, that is people can attend personally or online from whereever they are.

I have the pleasure to moderate this years agile day again. The main topic of the day is agile beyond development. Many organisations are applying agile frameworks and techniques with good results. But business agility is often not achieved. That’s why we have choosen inspiring sessions about agility at the business level.

My session is about Kanban Flight Levels and OKRs. I am going to show how to establish coordination and alignment levels on top of agile teams.

The last session will be an interactive lean coffee session in which you can bring in and discuss your own topics.

I am looking forward to this great conference day and hope to meet you there.

Agile Culture Articles

In 2021 many organisations are trying to become more agile. They do that by applying techniques such as Scrum or Kanban. In the articles I wanted to shed some light on more hidden aspects of cultural development which I think is the real success factor of agile organizational development.

Recently I published a series of articles about agile culture development in the German IT magazines Java Magazin and Windows Developer.

Those are the Java Magazin issues that contain the article:

I am glad to see that this time the article was published in two magazines. Those are the Windows Developer magazines.
