@Nash @adambcohen93 @ycombinator @WorkWeave I call B.S. There is no good measure of developer productivity that allows you to draw such conclusions. It probably ultimately boils down to a useless proxy like writing more lines of code or writing them faster. I am curious and want to be proven wrong.

@adambcohen93 @ycombinator @WorkWeave Is there a behind the scenes, or a blog post with more data?

San Francisco is home to the most productive engineers in the world. SF engineers do 13.9 months of work in a year. Here are the fastest building cities, according to our data at Weave. Maybe @ycombinator has a point about building in SF 🤔

@staaruNeet Hey! What are you concerned about specifically? You can always send me a msg on LinkedIn or via mail!

最近買ったこの本、スクラム解説本のように見えるけど。。ゴール設計や価値設計、そこに向かうチームビルディングをスクラムのアンチパターンを元に丁寧に説明されている本でした。プロダクト関連の実例が多い本だったので入門書を読んで実践を始めて試行錯誤してる人に良いのかな？

@edwinperaza @GergelyOrosz Depends on which country you compare it to. The quality of life is significantly higher in NL.

@GergelyOrosz IMO you have more benefits than cons for living here.

When talking about “life quality” versus “maximising income” this is a good reminder of tradeoffs. This guy makes $30M/yr and yet dragged and arrested for absolutely nothing. How much is it worth to live in a country where things like this do not happen *at all*, to residents?

@PawelHuryn @lennysan I understand, I also refuse to talk about SAFe for that very reason. If I were a doctor I would not go on a podcast to discuss why homeopathy doesn't work as it's a waste of my expertise. I have been asked many times.

Thanks @mdalmijn, I love the podcast, but I'm not sure I would like to talk about SAFe specifically. Criticizing SAFe for 60 minutes wouldn't make the best episode 😅 None of the top product companies use the framework. PMs ignore it. Only backlog administrators / POs struggle with the framework. Anyway, here are my thoughts if you @lennysan needed inspiration for your questions. No paywall: productcompass.pm/p/safe-agile-f…

Who would be the best person to come on my podcast to talk about the rise of SAFe and the product owner role?

@lennysan @jonnyjkane E.g. Team Topologies is no longer Team Topologies. They recommend normalizing Story Points between teams. They also have weird perspectives on what an Epic is to fit the framework, and in the framework outputs can be the same as goals... Happy to hop on a call to exchange info.

@jonnyjkane Oooh, curious to hear why you see it as deceitful and dishonest? honestly curious, as I don't know a ton about it.

@lennysan @jonnyjkane Hey Lenny! Agile Manifesto creators all spoke out against SAFe. Team Topologies (part of SAFe) spoke out against SAFe. Scrum creators spoke out against SAFe. Why? Well, if you look any SAFe concept, you will find it's been diluted and adjusted to fit the framework.

@adriaanmol @KLM Volgens mij drie redenen: 1. Meer geld verdienen als je weer moet boeken. 2. Jouw retour weer te verkopen 3. Om hidden-city ticketing tegen te gaan. Soms is een vlucht van A naar C met als tussenstop B goedkoper dan om direct naar B te vliegen. Voor de rest: slaat nergens op.

@daverooneyca @allenholub How can you believe they have good intentions when many people whose work they incorporate (e.g. Team Topologies) tell them they are doing a shitty job, and then they do not fix it.

SAFe is really just Fe--the iron framework. As for the S--that usually means add bureaucracy. You cannot become more effective by adding complexity. And the A has always been a joke. There's no Agile in a rigid framework, forcefully applied across an entire organization. That leaves the Fe.

@Mura_Mi @kawasima Thank you! There is a Japanese translation coming FYI.

@alshalloway I'd trim it to 5 and then post it. Few care about 17 reasons, let alone 20. What are the 5 most important ones?

I've been compiling a list of how Scrum and SAFe are similar. I'm up to 17 things. When I hit 20 I think i'll post it.

A developer wakes up from Big Room Planning.

@carlvellotti SAFe

Make a product manager cry in 5 words.

We have all gone down this rabbit hole

Is it really that hard to describe what a Scrum Master does? Browsing Scrum Master positions I can only conclude it is crazy difficult Finding one that seems to get it or at the very least does not contain glaring mistakes is almost like finding a four-leaf clover. #Scrum

@lissijean I feel your pain. Did you ever read the EBM framework from Scrum.org? When you read that it becomes even more evident there is a massive chasm.

I've been talking about Escaping the Build Trap for 6 years now and people are still copying and pasting the Scrum Guide to me to tell me I'm wrong and that it does explain how to do #productmgmt well.

Call to action #RenewRaisedByWolves It’s not surprising, especially after the news of the mergers and what is happening at Warner, that a lot of shows are not having their stories finished.

A common problem: What gets you promoted doesn't make you good at what you're promoted to.

Don't mistake the pristine perfection of plans on paper for reality. The problems we imagine are often not the real problems that matter. Intentionally incomplete plans rooted in reality work better than unintentionally incomplete plans floating in speculation.

@allenholub @allenholub: if that is what Lean boils down to, then it is easy to argue that Scrum is Lean. Curious to hear your thoughts too @alshalloway

People talk a lot about Lean, but don’t seem to be able to define it very well. To me, Lean thinking comes down to two things: • A relentless and pervasive focus on continuous improvement. • Trusting and empowering the people who do the work to do the work. →
