"Surprisingly, our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless."

@dahukanna @lisihocke
I get your point! Thank you for that.
IMHO, the presentation is well-balanced explaining

  • why the reasons mentioned by teams don't hold,
  • what are the problems with the use of branches,
  • what is the alternative,
  • how to get there (this has a follow-up prez with more details)
  • the benefits of the alternative
  • what is exactly evil about branches: the real reasons teams are using them for

I have yet to see a good application of feature branching. Anytime I have seen/experienced it, it introduces lots of delays, context switching, and stress. Sometimes, lots of team dysfunctions.

X: So you are saying feature branching is bad?
Me: Yup!
X: But why? It is the most commonly accepted practice in the IT industry. Does that mean that all these people are doing it wrong?
X: Yup! Definitely.

If you'd like to know why, please come to the online Agile Alliance Tech Talk where I'll explain in long and large what is problematic about feature branching, what different approaches we can take, and how we can get there.

Why your ‘Brilliant’ technology fails to have impact, Tom Adeyoola

We need an idea to solve a real customer issue

Customers always want:

  • Quality
  • Convenience
  • Price

How to focus on avoiding failure?

  • focus on people (staff)
  • focus on market
  • focus on Intellectual Property (IP) for defensibility

What do I mean by people?

Different perspective, experience, skills
Shared values, curiosity, drive

Hire people better than you!!
A type people hire A type people
B type people hire C type people 🤷

An org culture is not about table football, ping pong and beers. But having great people to work with.

Make room for people to surprise you!
Look for stories in CVs

It is about Values NOT culture fit!
Be mindful about inclusivity

Are your people as diverse as your customers?
If you want to conquer the world make sure your are representative

We need to learn learning from failures!

Even the best learn from failure?
Apple, Amazon, Google, …

The importance for orgs is not to have great ideas. Any org has ideas. The importance is the ability to kill bad ideas.

Kill puppies!

“Every startup must build a product that is at least 10 times better at doing something than the current prevailing way. Two or three times better will not be good enough …to get people to switch to the new thing fast enough or in enough volume”

To summarise, focus on

  • great people
  • market fit
  • defensibility

And be
lucky

Bringing our testing earlier into the process (that is during ideation)

Helps reducing problems in the product ( that is during implementation and support & maintenance).
