#Innovation happens @ the intersection of #Agile #DevOps #DesignThinking #LeanStartup. When you've ebed all those in your culture.

Time to leave. It's been a while since I was active here.
As much as I love the way the tech community used Twitter to connect, I cannot be associated with this company and system anymore. Find me on LinkedIn or elsewhere and stop supporting people who spread bad ideas. #exitX

@noeloc Backlog, that place where ideas go to die

@noeloc An incredible loss for music and Ireland

[Val Yonchev 💙💛 @valyonchev]

@matiaslespiau Absolutely! It is amazing how fast ideas get skewed. I have alrwdy seen organizations which call their teams with the different team types from #teamtopologies, but there is little thought behind. It is the process, interaction that makes the difference

[Matias Lespiau @matiaslespiau]

@valyonchev Yes!

Having a formal team can help, but there is more to it!

You still have to:
- sponsor them with other teams
- adjust existing processes
- learn new modes of interaction

It took us some time to establish our first horizontal (now enabling) team in our organization.

[Val Yonchev 💙💛 @valyonchev]

@matiaslespiau "yes and..." What I see in some organizations where those horizontal teams don't exist as teams - they have communities of practice instead, which some may call guilds.
The key challenge there is that they are not taken seriously and given the weight they need to influence at all

What if the most important part of "platform engineering" is maintaining a high quality wiki with proven, empathic patterns for Stream-aligned teams to follow? 📄

.@RedHatLabs my team just published an amazing Platform-as-a-Product Workshop template on Miroverse @MiroHQ, inspired by concepts like @TeamTopologies and Lean Inception🚀 Check it out, give it a try and let us know if you have any questions and comments!

@jromanmartin @RedHat Congratulations, amigo. Be sure to say "guys and girls" as we are blessed with amazingly smart women in our teams

[Val Yonchev 💙💛 @valyonchev]

Exciting new launch in a significant gap, measuring product teams performance in terms of outcomes and that based on facts and tangible evidence, rather than guesstimates.
An evolution improving the OKRs framework by combining with the North Star framework and outcome delivery

[Tim Beattie @timbeattie]

Launch day has arrived. Stellafai is here. I’m thrilled to invite you to explore https://t.co/KVHJveo0Qc. In the coming days I’ll be tweeting more about why you should & how you can engage with our consulting services & join our beta testing product team. 🚀 Ready for lift-off?!

[Val Yonchev 💙💛 @valyonchev]

@myfear Thanks, mate. I hope for a great year ahead, even better than the past few 🙂

[Val Yonchev 💙💛 @valyonchev]

@solidtubez @ckavili Let's even call it DevEx.
I am proud to be in the same team with those smart ladies

@ckavili and Angels Dimitri Gutierrez delivering When GitOps Meets UX at #GitOpsCon
We definitely need more UX in Platform Engineering! It's so easy to fall into the trap of thinking one knows the user's needs.

[Val Yonchev 💙💛 @valyonchev]

@ckavili You better @ckavili Kubecon needs more voices like yours

[Donal Spring @spring_do]

Looking to learn how you can leverage UX Practices in order to build platforms fit for purpose, come and check out our talk at #WTFisSRE on Thursday #platformasaproduct #teamtopologies #redhat

[Charity Majors @mipsytipsy]

yes. individual engineers can *write* software, but only teams can deliver, ship, maintain and own software.

the smallest unit of software delivery is the team.

[Donal Spring @spring_do]

What a difference a day makes 🙈 ... the last two weeks we did two back to back runs of our DevOps Enablement in London. I had an amazing time reconnecting with colleagues & sharing experiences leaving pumped to do more @RedHatLabs 💪🐈
