Lee Smith11:05:52

Thanks Ann and Gene for inviting us to participate...

Gene Kim, ITREV, Program Chair12:05:34

(@lucas.rettig I’m eager to hear the answer to this — the area has a very complex value delivery chain…)

Lee Smith12:05:37

Good question Luke... Technology is the pure tech team doing dev, tech support etc., and Prod Delivery are in essence are the Change function on the Business side...

👍 3
Lee Smith12:05:34

We're very closely aligned teams working in cross-functional PODs together - so organisationally different, but aligned operationally to deliver

❤️ 1
Raj Fowler12:05:41

What were the biggest cultural challenges that existed that you needed to overcome? What you have achieved here is no easy achievement inside a large bank.

👍 1
Lilian Mitroglou - DevOps Coach12:05:58

What concrete steps did you go through to achieve the psychological safe environment and what were the challenges in this specific step?

👍 2
Danielle Horney12:05:13

I would say it's removing the onshore/offshore tags and become one team @raj.fowler

👍 1
Erik Greathouse12:05:34

@leesmith do your cross-functional PODs self-managed or is there a resource management effort applied?

👍 1
Lee Smith12:05:45

They are self managed as much as possible, but there is an element of high level resource management - goal to try and keep the PODs and static and consistent as possible

Beat Buehler - Team Lead / Agile Coach - Helsana Health Insurance12:05:18

could you share the whole criterias of the business value calculator?

👍 1
Luke Rettig - Target12:05:33

lots of interest on this Business Value Calculator 🙂. Do you separate out the ‘value assessment/prioritization’ from the ‘sequencing’ in which things get done? asking for a friend 😆

👍 1
Danielle Horney12:05:52

@lester2 Yes, even technical change will bring value to the business in some shape or from

Nigel Lester12:05:00

Great to hear. Forecasting value is very difficult though.

Raj Fowler12:05:26

Have you been capturing metrics to date and what trends have you seen? @sergiolopes709 - this is similar to the NatWest story in many ways.

👍 1
Lee Smith12:05:06

Thats a great point, and we have started to assess our flow metrics fairly recently so that we can see the true value metrics of the improvments and trends.... also measuring team satisfaction :)

Danielle Horney12:05:16

@lucas.rettig we use the business value to order the sequence things get done

Luke Rettig - Target12:05:27

@danielle.horney - i’ve run into issues where the highest value items have lots of dependencies. We’ve started to use it as a critical input into sequencing, but often times we can get more total value by doing the items with slightly less value, but but easier complexity

Luke Rettig - Target12:05:34

does that resonate?

Danielle Horney12:05:19

Yes, so we have also come up with a value that takes the BV and effort to give an overall score that helps with these kind of issues

Lee Smith12:05:33

Hi @lilian.mitroglou - the main elements here were around setting the right tone from the top with Danielle and my approach - being open, vulnerable and authentic as possible. The coaching element Danielle references was also key to allow people to be themselves and open up. And then also driving the awareness of the need of that psychologically safe environment. As Danielle referenced earlier, the other key element was working to build that collaboration cross-location within our teams to bring 'people' together, not just 'resources'...

👏 1
Nigel Lester12:05:48

Do wonder if we should move from Products to Services focus....

1
👍 1
Moira Cheng12:05:10

@lester2 Probably one for a BoF session with Project to Product. I've been contemplating similar especially as i've recently seen models where Agile teams are being set up with Product Owners and Service Owners who basically balance prioritization of the backlog for delivery.

Lee Smith12:05:22

Its a good point, as we really have a combination of Products and Services within our Value Streams...

Sergio Pereira-Lopes12:05:41

@raj.fowler I would agree, it is crucial you can measure in real terms the value or impact of the delivery.

👍 1
Siddharth, NatWest Group, DevOps CoE (he/him)12:05:55

@leesmith - how did you shared failure ?

👍 1
Lee Smith12:05:39

A really good question... key to this is ensuring the psycholoigcally sage culture is in place as the base, and this then enables people to be more open, removing their fear of judgement and using everything as a learning opportunity. The sharing itself is then done through a combination of Blogs, talks, team mettings etc., all in a very open environment

Siddharth, NatWest Group, DevOps CoE (he/him)12:05:48

Ahh I guess I need to get more down the pyramid to know more. May be sometime 1-1 conversation if possible.

Nigel Lester12:05:46

Is your budgeting cycle annual or more frequent?

In german we say "Der Weg ist das Ziel", "The journey is the reward". Makes absolutely sense while working iteratively in a continuous learning environment.

Virginia Laurenzano NSA12:05:03

can you share your napkin math to get to the costs for IAM you identified?

Raj Fowler12:05:39

We did some value stream mapping for different patterns and determined lead time, wait time and effort. We then took the effort and multiplied it by the rate cards of the engineering workforce This then gave us the cost for onboarding per applications

Raj Fowler12:05:07

We then look at the to-be self service and did the same to understand the future cost.

Sergio Pereira-Lopes12:05:28

Certainly, it does depend on the offerings as we also enabled MFA to our Mobile Payment journeys. So we attempted to price out journey adoptions to capabilities. Happy to connect with you to talk that through

Raj Fowler12:05:50

Multiplying this up by the future demand over 3 years, together with investment costs gave us the business case for change.

Nigel Lester12:05:55

Totally agree on making as much as possible self-service.

❤️ 1
Sergio Pereira-Lopes12:05:04

For a central technology service our main focus was to remove us as a dependency to deliver value. This enables us to focus on identity capabilities as a value proposition to the organisation rather than enabling a piece of tech

❤️ 1
Raj Fowler12:05:10

Be good to understand if any of the benefits and metrics improvements coming up resonate with others who have enabled self-service platforms

Virginia Laurenzano NSA12:05:33

love that outcome - building what customer needs instead of what you think they need

👍 1
Radoslaw Wiankowski12:05:03

@sergiolopes709 could you elaborate what help around self-service for cloud infra you’re looking for? I might have some thoughts/experience to share, but depends on where you are and where you want to go.

Sergio Pereira-Lopes12:05:53

I will PM you my details and connect if that works as this topic may require a 30 min coffee catch up

Sergio Pereira-Lopes12:05:47

Thanks, in essence we are looking to adopt cloud infra to progress our journey to enable identity as code, giving our business a much more fluid approach to adopt identity capabilities within the customer journey

Gene Kim, ITREV, Program Chair14:05:33

"Do we have too many?" (Ugh. 😢). It was amazing to hear Trent Hone (author of Learning War) talk about how we are witnessing a massive, distributed experimentation happening — the missing step is a central mechanism to help distribute/share learnings.

Erik Greathouse14:05:27

@genek I think the challenge from Senior leadership is how to balance operational security and budget concerns compared to DevOps capability. IMO

Gene Kim, ITREV, Program Chair14:05:57

I.e., we actually want lots of variety and massive experimentation happening, when there are so many unknowns about what the ideal looks like

Robin Yeman14:05:31

Gene Kim, ITREV, Program Chair14:05:50

@robinyeman OH lately: "no problem. We just need to go from P1 to either Iron Bank or _, via the Party Bus." I thought it was a joke, but apparently, all real things. :)

Andrew Davis - AutoRABIT - DevSecOps for Salesforce14:05:33

I’m going to start using Party Bus as the preferred synonym for event bus from now on

Gene Kim, ITREV, Program Chair14:05:25

I.e., I freaking love the names of these projects. Hahaha

Robin Yeman14:05:46

@genek yes all real!!!

Erik Greathouse14:05:00

The challenge of ATOs is that they are generally done as after actions (large batch size) cATO is very much focused on small batches.

Robin Yeman14:05:02

@erik.greathouse277 ATO is more expensive than designing and building and testing the entire system

☝️ 2
Erik Greathouse14:05:51

@robinyeman doesn't disagree, My point was ATOs are more expensive due to how they are implemented compared to cATO which is the same intent but implementation is different.

Robin Yeman14:05:35

its something commercial programs would not be aware of

Gene Kim, ITREV, Program Chair14:05:34

This is a super fantastic talk, @robinyeman — thank you!!!!

Gene Kim, ITREV, Program Chair14:05:52

Can you convey that to Duong, as well! (I'll email you on a separate topic, as well!)

Marc14:05:35

@moonmaster9000 I really like the Ideas you presented, thanks a lot for that! One question, though: How do you account for survivorship bias in your work? In other words... how can you actually draw the inference that those radical collaboration patterns are indeed the cause for the organizations' being successful?

Matt K. Parker he/him (Speaker/Author)14:05:28

First --- thank you for the question! Second --- I've done nothing to account for survivorship bias. I think causation is hard --- particularly in sociology and organizational science, and particularly outside of an experimental laboratory. That being said, I'm also principally a writer, not an organizational science researcher. But studies like the HOW Report, which highlight the correlations, along with various psychological and sociological studies in the book, definitely paint a compelling (and hopeful) picture that what is good for humans is good for organizations.

Marc07:05:10

Thanks @moonmaster9000. Don't get me wrong here, I do believe (and I find it quite logical) that improved collaboration leads to improved results. But then beliefs are just beliefs 🙂 "Fooled by randomness" kind of shook up my confidence a little here 🙂
