Andy Nelson16:10:23

@marc.price @zsolt.berend when do you start the clock for lead time? At idea creation? Or at time work is allocated to start?

๐Ÿ‘ 1
Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:26

Hi Andy, the clock starts when work started (the first time when a ticket moves from 'backlog' state to any in progress state until the chg implemented in prod

๐Ÿ‘ 1
Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:15

#days from work started to released to prod

Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:39

and release lead time is the max of all ticket lead times within the release

Andy Nelson16:10:34

do you measure any of the up front portfolio planning or product discovery work? i.e. how the larger level asks get broken down into the given set of stories?

Meghan Glass - PrdMgr Best Buy16:10:35

This slide is showing "issue created date" not "status" - could you talk more on that?

Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:26

@isuanelson we measure alignment - golden thread

Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:43

%stories that linked all the way up to strategic objectives

Marc Price - Nationwide Building Society (Speaker)16:10:46

@meghan.glass we look to see that when an issue is created, does it instantly link into the golden thread alignment to strategy or not

Meghan Glass - PrdMgr Best Buy16:10:12

so golden thread = ideation to backlog and lead time = progress start to release?

Marc Price - Nationwide Building Society (Speaker)16:10:58

golden thread is alignment from stories all the way up to strategic outcomes

Meghan Glass - PrdMgr Best Buy16:10:20

so current measures are: does the work align and then the lead time for the work from start to release, but no "lead time" calculations for idea to backlog/work start at this stage

Marc Price - Nationwide Building Society (Speaker)16:10:09

@meghan.glass, we do have a lead time measure starting from the time an issue is created, but it depends of the persona for usage. For example a support team working on incidents might want to start their lead time from the time of creation, so they can choose that metric also

Glenn Wilson, Author of DevSecOps16:10:26

What data are you using to measure happiness?

Marc Price - Nationwide Building Society (Speaker)16:10:16

Hi Glenn, We created a bespoke survey that we send out to the teams and followed up a few months later to track how happiness has changed over time.

John Ediger16:10:55

What is the "golden thread"?

๐Ÿ‘ 1
Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:33

it is alignment from stories all the way up to strategic outcomes

John Ediger16:10:27

I see. How is that measured?

Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:49

so whether what the teams are working on are aligned to quarterly, yearly and multi-year strategic outcomes

Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:14

measure: %stories that linked up to strategic outcomes

John Ediger16:10:22

who decides that?

Marc Price - Nationwide Building Society (Speaker)16:10:40

we partnered with our value realisation office

Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:57

so practically in Jira: story - epic - OKRs - yearly/multi-yr outomes

Adam Bell16:10:23

parent/child relationship of a sort?

Craig Cook - IBM16:10:52

value realisation office?

Jon Smart [Sooner Safer Happier]16:10:02

VRO = reinvented PMO. From traditional to supporting the organisation on value (articulated via OKRs)

thankyou 1
Tashfeen Mahmood16:10:41

do you use tools like Jira, ServcieNow, etc. to measure these flow metrics?

Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:36

and we link logically to measure end to end lead time

Andy Nelson16:10:02

and SNOW chg requests are created/completed as part of deployment pipelines for the most part with some exception manual ones?

Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:22

our flow metrics is not reliant on how the changes being created - we link it through fix versions

๐Ÿ‘ 1
Matt Ring (he/him) - Sr. Product/Engineering Coach, John Deere16:10:30

What was the dashboard / visualization tool you leverage? I think it was just meentioned but I missed it.

Marc Price - Nationwide Building Society (Speaker)16:10:59

lets here from our customers....

๐Ÿ‘ 1
Andy Nelson16:10:09

this accelerate metrics view - is this at the app level? product team? value stream? or multiple different "flight levels"?

Marc Price - Nationwide Building Society (Speaker)16:10:44

Hi Andy, We allow the users to filter to their context. So all levels of the society

๐Ÿ‘ 1
Marc Price - Nationwide Building Society (Speaker)16:10:26

Mel was one of our early adopters of our product within the intelligent controls team!

Craig Cook - IBM16:10:35

Is any of this tooling open source?

Marc Price - Nationwide Building Society (Speaker)16:10:58

We are using a tool called ThoughtSpot for reporting and self service

thankyou 2
Marc Price - Nationwide Building Society (Speaker)16:10:49

its great to see how Craig has implemented our product within his own context in the payments team

Ganga Narayanan16:10:07

This is great. The lead time in the dashboard, how was it calculated? What tool?

Ganga Narayanan16:10:07

Thank you!

Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:10

lead time: #days from work started to release in prod (snow)

Ganga Narayanan16:10:47

Got it, thank you!

Matt Ring (he/him) - Sr. Product/Engineering Coach, John Deere16:10:49

@berendzs Did you need to standardize on JIRA board columns for this to work or did teams retain some flexibility in identifying their state columns (to visualize the flow of work)?

Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:43

@mring on purpose we wanted to give full autonomy for teams to choose their workflow as it is unique so no one size fits all

โค๏ธ 1
Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:45

instead we created a map from all states to todo in progress done - this is an essential step to make the calc. agnostic the workflow states as well as to teams ways of working

Tashfeen Mahmood16:10:23

Do you find that your metrics are only as good as teh data that people provide in Jira/SNOW?

Marc Price - Nationwide Building Society (Speaker)16:10:11

we have seen that, yes. It requires good discipline in updating stories and change records etc

Tashfeen Mahmood16:10:55

how do you improve that discipline? how granular are the workflow states?

๐Ÿ‘€ 1
Marc Price - Nationwide Building Society (Speaker)16:10:39

we are agnostic to data sources as we do mapping within our data model to map to todo, in progress and done so are not reliant on all teams using the same workflow

Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:17

teams have the ability to reflect their unique flow of work

Tashfeen Mahmood16:10:31

how many teams realize this and go back to look at their flow states?

Tashfeen Mahmood16:10:40

versus just giving up?

Tashfeen Mahmood16:10:17

I find that most do not invest that time... that is just tribal knowledge... people do not care about putting that in metrics

Marc Price - Nationwide Building Society (Speaker)16:10:22

we provide a link back to jira within the reporting etc

Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:40

what we see is that using VSM data from our dashboards teams go on the journey to make their queues and work states visible

Zsolt Berend, Co-Author - Sooner Safer Happier16:10:15

they go from simple todo in progress done boards to boards that reflect their vsm

Glenn Wilson, Author of DevSecOps16:10:28

I like this golden thread approach to measuring productivity. Itโ€™s simple yet very effective

Bryan Payton16:10:22

Thanks @annp !! Here to answer any questions.

๐Ÿ‘ 1
Babita17:10:48

@bryanpayton @sakthikasiramalingam How do you manage daily production tickets?

Babita17:10:19

especially for systems like Payroll or HR

John Ediger17:10:28

Is this single backlog & rotation being done in the app teams or is this just for this platform team?

Graham McGregor17:10:08

how big are those teams that were combined?

Bryan Payton17:10:29

@babita.sood We have an operational rotation 24 hrs a day segmented into 8 hour periods. As they incidents come in, we prioritize them and open an internal response call until resolved. During this we maintain an master station log of activities performed and times. If there is a rotation shift we turn over the master station log between engineers. Escalations for SME's happen through our escalation process, but with the consolidation of Ops/Eng we found we have fewer escalations.

Babita17:10:47

Thank you, how is Backlog managed in this case

Bryan Payton17:10:19

We have weekly refinement and weekly planning/grooming meetings to keep inline with priorities and pivots. We also have weekly incident/issue calls for reflection and creation of backlog work for fix-actions and remediation. The individuals on the operational rotation take 'operational' work from our backlog when issues/incidents are slower and capacity permits. This keeps us progressing both engineering and operational deliverables while providing production response.

Babita17:10:02

Thank you!!

Bryan Payton17:10:53

@halfmoondad Currently this is down on the platform and product side (e.g Databases, Cache, Messaging, etc). We are not directly involved in the AppDev side, but we have shared our success and lessons with that community. They are adopting.

๐Ÿ‘ 2
Bryan Payton17:10:36

@graham_mcgregor The current team size is roughly 40 people.

Bryan Payton17:10:26

@graham_mcgregor we have found the 'more the merrier' with this approach as the rotations are less frequent and the perspectives are rather 'fresh'.

Sakthi Kasiramalingam17:10:14

@graham_mcgregor True, we had to bring more of our engineers into the rotation schedule to enable this

Brian W. Spolarich - Cal Poly17:10:42

We're using the concept of paired Eng/Ops teams today in my org that share a common portfolio. It works if the leads are aligned. Did you collapse these into single teams with a single leader?

Sakthi Kasiramalingam17:10:24

@brianspo Yes these teams were all already under one organization

Bryan Payton17:10:25

@brianspo Yea, same objectives. Myself and a Senior Product Owner oversee all products/deliverables within this space. However, each product has its own PO and PA. Operations has a Ops Manager that is consistent and we simply rotate the individuals in and out. All of our leaders are aligned and were involved in this decisions.

Brian W. Spolarich - Cal Poly17:10:06

I think what is resonating for me here is the product thinking, which means you need to start further upstream. How you're organized to build and deliver is a downstream effect of the upstream org approach.

Sakthi Kasiramalingam17:10:37

Agree itโ€™s about the product orientation instead of a project focused approach

๐Ÿ’ก 1
Brian W. Spolarich - Cal Poly17:10:42

@bryanpayton - Are slides for this talk avaialble? I didn't see them in the library.

Hi Everyone! I'm excited and honored as well to be a part of this great event.

Scott Prugh (DOES Prog Committee)18:10:51

Love the Flywheel of Decay visualization!

Scott Prugh (DOES Prog Committee)18:10:21

The downward spiral is one we often see in transformations

Carter McHugh (He/Him)18:10:27

We really felt "landlocked"...almost held hostage by forces many felt powerless to change.

Jeff Dirks (TrueBlue CIO/CTO)18:10:46

@scott.prugh Yes, it's a play on TrueBlue's Flywheel of Innovation we discuss with our Board and Investors.

Scott Prugh (DOES Prog Committee)18:10:51

We often call this the "Pit of Despair"

Jeff Dirks (TrueBlue CIO/CTO)18:10:16

Love "pit of despair" and have seen that movie a few times in 30 years of tech.

Carter McHugh (He/Him)18:10:08

Tools are important, but we needed more to change our culture.

Ganga Narayanan18:10:43

"Many opinions, but far fewer facts". Fact!

Scott Prugh (DOES Prog Committee)18:10:29

The performance metrics in Accelerate have been so critical in many transformations! @nicolefv @genek @cmchugh @jdirks

๐Ÿ‘ 1
Carter McHugh (He/Him)18:10:21

We wanted to avoid two major impacts here: teams opting out with reasons (e.g. we're legacy, our customers won't allow it, etc) and also avoid gaming the system with proxy/vanity metrics.

Carter McHugh (He/Him)18:10:16

Accelerate talks about how important it is that teams set the commitments and pick their tools. We needed to embrace that.

Scott Prugh (DOES Prog Committee)18:10:49

Not setting hard targets for the measures is a great approach. Let the teams measure to learn to then set their own goals.

Ganga Narayanan18:10:03

The comment about some teams being green-field having different goals from some that are legacy is very true. We don't want a comparison between the teams in goals and targets!

Carter McHugh (He/Him)18:10:13

The teams had lots more opinions after we started this!

Carter McHugh (He/Him)18:10:43

But they started innovating...

Carter McHugh (He/Him)18:10:11

One team had really good CI/CD already in place, but were bottlenecked by cumbersome CM policies and procedures.

Carter McHugh (He/Him)18:10:38

They set to work with the CM team to define a new, automated "Standard Change" policy that enabled them to deploy daily.

Scott Prugh (DOES Prog Committee)18:10:49

I love the compass analogy! The key is to teach teams to measure to learn to improve and coach them to do that!

Scott Prugh (DOES Prog Committee)18:10:07

That is really the heart of Kata

Jeff Dirks (TrueBlue CIO/CTO)18:10:58

Yes - we talk a lot about compasses over maps. Get on the field of play, get more feedback loops and use those for orienteering towards the end goal. Maps tend to promote waterfall approaches.

๐ŸŽฏ 1
Carter McHugh (He/Him)18:10:15

Some legacy teams found a way to do some even very simple improvements...many legacy procedures were simply done again and again just because no one even questioned them anymore.

Carter McHugh (He/Him)18:10:33

"Oh...that...it only takes our release engineer 2 mins to do that"

Carter McHugh (He/Him)18:10:06

But added up, they were spending hours in manual tasks and this created fear, error, and declining motivation.

Scott Prugh (DOES Prog Committee)18:10:30

Wow. Some great 10x results in changes deployed!

Jeff Dirks (TrueBlue CIO/CTO)18:10:12

Yes - we focused thematically on making it easier to get work done -- and automating everything.

Carter McHugh (He/Him)18:10:53

The big learning for me, is how shifting into smaller release, suddenly showed up in the other metrics. KTLO came down because there was less to troubleshoot each day, or plan for rollbacks, or other non-value add activities.

Carter McHugh (He/Him)18:10:28

We know teams like innovating, and this "broke the logjam". Forces that folks couldn't describe well let alone affect for good, were given clarity in "Accelerate"

Scott Prugh (DOES Prog Committee)18:10:29

Yes. Start the journey where ever you are! Don't get discourage by: 1) the size of the challenge or 2) where others are

@nicole.forsythe I think it helped to pull from past target experiences and all the creativity that went into so many things.

@nicole.forsythe We decided to throw this on its head. Create experience that overtime was morphed into something special. Honestly - i dont know how this forum would have morphed if we were all co-located. Part of me thinks it gained alot of steam because it was remote.

Joe Arrowood19:10:33

The "Problem Is" that many developers don't understand 1. How to Test 2. Why to Test 3. That it is their responsibility to test. 4. Others will test their code AFTER they have tested their code. Once they experience the POWER of testing their own code, they are hooked. But you have to get them to do it, in order to get them to love it. A CoP could help get them immersed in testing!

Javier Magaรฑa - Walmart19:10:02

We're about to start a community, and we have them set up monthly... time to revisit that then :thinking_face:

Eric Kramlinger19:10:58

Great point. We had a few stop and starts and found that we needed some initial consistency to gain momentum.

Ganga Narayanan19:10:20

Can relate! We've seen many starts and stops every now and then. People getting busy; reorgs; changing mandates etc. -- and also because these are seen as voluntary.

Klaudia Breslavets - Vanguard19:10:21

@jillmead2018 & @erickramlinger, I feel like CoP done well is an underrated topic. I've seen pockets of CoPs done well in my travels but they are rare!! I have found the hardest part in a CoP, beside momentum to start it, is evolving out of a solely consumption-based participant engagement to a balance of contribution-based. In your experience, have you seen this challenge & any suggestions to reach equilibrium?

๐Ÿ‘ 6
โค๏ธ 1
Eric Kramlinger19:10:56

@kxbres - great call out. Every CoP featured different members of the organization. We also did "feedback blitzes" where volunteered to show off artifacts and the CoP would ask questions and share feedback. A few examples of how we tried to create a back and forth flow.

Tashfeen Mahmood19:10:27

I often say: I have yet to meet a CoP that works well. I wonder if I need to have personalities like @erickramlinger and @jillmead2018 to make a CoP work well... My question is therefore: Is a CoP model sustainable?

๐Ÿ‘ 1
Klaudia Breslavets - Vanguard19:10:12

@tashfeen_mahmood one of the CoPs I've seen work really well is with great moderation that believes in drawing out the expertise available in the "hive mind" so-to-speak and enabling many people to share their experiences/SME'ism rather than relying on the moderators/organizers of CoP. Another was feedback from the community & offering enablement from the CoP to address the feedback/needs. Also..rules of engagement that are established & understood so existing and new participants know how best to engage/gain & contribute value as quickly as possible.

โค๏ธ 1
Tashfeen Mahmood19:10:22

and my question is: how many people can do it well? I can tell just by listening to Eric and Jill that these are two extraordinary people, leaders, thinkers, personalities, DevOpsers, Product People... How many of those do you know? By the way: I can tell that you folks at Vanguard are also geniuses. I saw the session from another Vanguard person on Day 1 and I am very impressed!

Jill Mead20:10:14

@tashfeen_mahmood How bought in is your organization to moving to more of product, business agility and/or devops values, ways of working, ect Do you know anyone whom are natural leaders for this movement? Our goal is to create more leaders in this space internally?

Tashfeen Mahmood20:10:23

we are bought in... However, I will also say that if you take 20 executives (from any organization) and ask them what DevOps means, you will get 21 answers. I would like to talk to you more about the cultural topic you brought up related to leadership. IMO - Leadership grows more leaders. That is something we can improve at my company.

Steve Spear10:10:25

@jeff.gallimore @rshoup Thatโ€™s 100% right. Those who learn more, faster win by the ability to bring new and useful insights into practical use ahead of rivals. Thatโ€™s the โ€œhigh velocity edge.โ€ The basis of all learning is recognizing a problem, swarming on it to investigate it and experiment around it to get to a solution. The huge multiplier is sharing whatโ€™s discovered so the individual insight gets systemic application and so the individual discover collides with others to build compounded understanding. That latter part is the basis of Jared Diamondโ€™s Guns Germs and Steel (which I use as the intro case in the chapter on knowledge sharing).

@allspaw in your journeys, what has been the most effective method of publishing incident learnings? Any particular method that was excellent at capturing metadata for future engineers to sort by?

John Allspaw22:10:50

Iโ€™d say the content of write-ups is paramountโ€ฆthe specific platform (Google docs, Confluence, etc.) matters very little if whatever indexing/search doesnโ€™t have much to index.
