This reminds me of a point brought up when writing our "Measuring Value" paper for @ITRevBooks last year... when an IT org considers itself and its goals distinct from its business peers... "If IT wins but the business loses, is that still success?" Answer here. 👇

Just heard of a utilities government company that is going bankrupt after their IT arm went all-in on Scrum and SAFe, rewrote a billing system, and that billing system got delayed long enough that they could not collect revenue, and ran out of money. Oh man.

@age_shulman @RealGeneKim This got me... "these [issues] are operational implementation issues and not related to the overall Workday contract performance metrics." The vendor project metrics look great. What? No, we weren't measuring whether the software solved an actual problem. That's crazy talk...

@RealGeneKim 😫🚩"currently on budget and on track" "significant progress with our workstreams" (wonder if any of those workstreams have dependencies with each other?) "ill-defined priorities, and critical decisions were delayed"

@dustinson I've not had this problem. But then again, I usually have a conversation with my manager first if I'm planning to submit a talk about something work-related to make sure it doesn't include sensitive IP.

A friend txtd me that they got accepted to a conference, but can't publicly share then until their company clears them. I've never seen that before. Is this more common that I'm aware of?

I’m leaving Google Cloud at the end of this week. Working at Google was something I’d dreamed of doing since I was 11. I met many great people in my 2.5 years there and got a taste of the complexity / impact of solving problems at hyperscale. Grateful & excited for what's next!

With all the layoffs happening in the industry - product folks are more important than ever. We need to be able to clearly articulate the value we’re providing to the org and where we’re going. If we aren’t working on important things, might end up on the wrong side of a layoff

@editingemily This was an amazing talk @editingemily! A great combination of raw personal story, historical truth bombs, and an inspiring call to action. 👏 Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us.

From Centers of Excellence to Communities of Practice: CoE is a good way to introduce a new capability, but to make it sustainable and lasting, consider CoP. Question: Can you introduce CoP right away or do you need to start with CoE and evolve to CoP? blog.mangoteque.com//blog/2023/11/…

@age_shulman I think COEs are useful for exploring or starting up a new capability (because that is their charge). But, as part of their charge, they should help stand up CoP(s) as soon as possible, owned by passionate advocates beyond the COE, to help make the new capability sustainable.

In Iowa we have “Beggars Night” which is you do Trick or Treating the night before Halloween. I told my wife every year someone freaks out on Facebook or Ring Neighbors about kids dumping out the bowl of candy left out and posts a video from the doorbell cam. Sure enough…

I've been taking a break from work for the last few weeks, so missed much of the brouhaha over the McKinsey developer productivity article. But I'm sure that I could not write a better response than this one from @tastapod dannorth.net/mckinsey-revie…
