Serverless Craic Ep61 Finding your North Star 12:40

26 weeks ago12:40

12:40

Send us a text This episode centres on Chapter Five of the book "The Value Flywheel Effect," focusing on the North Star framework. We explain how this framework helps teams align their work with a clear, meaningful metric (North Star) and its related leading and lagging metrics. North Star Framework Overview We explain the North Star framework, emphasising its use in helping teams coalesce behind a mission or purpose with a visual, collaborative tool. And the importance of leading metrics and lagging metrics, explaining how the North Star framework helps teams reverse engineer leading metrics from lagging ones. Application of North Star Framework We look at the usefulness of the North Star framework at both the small startup level and the enterprise level, where it helps link lead measures back to overall business impact. The North Star framework is powerful for team and individual morale by making work meaningful and aligning it with organisational objectives. We reference Dan Pink's "mastery, autonomy, sense of purpose" to emphasise the importance of knowing what you are doing and why. The North Star framework is complementary to mapping for strategy, helping to narrow down on value and focus conversations. Challenges and Benefits of North Star Framework It is valuable to ask teams about their metrics and how their work influences them, leading to valuable conversations about measurement and alignment. We look at the importance of measurement, referencing Grace Hopper's quote about the power of accurate measurement. Having data and clear alignment to organisational strategy helps teams advocate for change more effectively. The North Star framework can sometimes reveal that teams are not aligned or that the overall strategy is flawed, likening it to the emperor's new clothes. Connecting North Star to Business Value A structured North Star often reveals disconnects in the work being done and its impact on business value, serving as a corrective measure. We compare the North Star framework to impact mapping, both helping to create a compelling narrative and understand the story of what the team is working on. It is challenging to craft the North Star for behind-the-scenes teams, but the framework helps align value delivery with business goals. We discuss Amazon's working backwards process and its similarities with the North Star framework, emphasising the importance of understanding the customer's need and working backwards from there. Critical Thinking and Leadership These frameworks are enablers of critical thinking, challenging teams and organizations to question their assumptions and goals. North Star metrics and key input metrics make it easier to write a compelling press release that aligns with the company's strategy. Clarity of purpose is the foundation of everything, requiring leadership and courage to implement.

Serverless Craic Ep59 How to Wardley Map 23:01

37 weeks ago23:01

23:01

Send us a text Wardley mapping is a strategic tool to visualise the evolution of products or services. The two axes of a Wardley Map are visibility and evolutionary stage. Products and technologies evolve through four stages: Genesis, Custom build, Product or rental, and Commodity or utility. Understanding context and phase of adoption is crucial in the business world, especially with AI and LLMs. Identifying and moving commodities versus custom-built solutions is important, and optimizing organizational structure for autonomy involves concepts like movement, time planning, and sub-maps. We explain the anatomy of a Wardley map, starting with the anchor (customer) and emphasising the importance of understanding the map's axis and how space and position have meaning. Evolution of technology from Genesis to Commodity, with stages of Custom Build and Product. Product evolution from Genesis to Custom, Commodity, and ubiquity, tailored to specific contexts. We explain the evolution of products through usage and competition and product evolution is context-dependent. Leveraging AI and LLMs in business contexts. We highlight the varying perceptions of LLM and Gen AI across different contexts and note that DBT is marketed as a product or consumer depending on the context. We discuss the importance of understanding user needs and dependencies in designing a successful product. Mapping components to move from custom-built to commodity products. We look at the importance of mapping components to move a business forward and identify inertia as a challenge in moving components, and discuss ways to overcome it. The conversation highlights the importance of leveraging commodities and building a database in 2024. We discuss the evolution of AI, from its early stages to its current utility, and the importance of having the right team types, including explorers, settlers, and time planners. We emphasise the need for all three team types, as each one plays a crucial role in the AI development process, and spikes in team performance can be identified and addressed accordingly. Mapping for autonomous organisations, including optimisation, movement, and sub-maps. We look at the importance of optimising for movement in engineering teams, with different strategies for 'pioneers', 'settlers', and 'villagers'. And the need for organisation-wide alignment and the use of mixed methods within Wardley Mapping, with a focus on stacking boxes when necessary. We look at the importance of mapping in software development, highlighting different types of maps and their uses. And we provide tips for creating effective maps, including using sub-maps for detailed areas and avoiding too many components on the map.

Serverless Craic Ep53 Cynefin Framework 21:19

1 year ago21:19

21:19

Send us a text We use the Cynefin Framework in our cloud modernisation work. Dave Snowden created the Cynefin framework. Cynefin, pronounced "ku-nev-in," is a Welsh word that translates as "place" or "habitat." However, it can also be used to describe the elements of our situation and personal history that influence our thoughts and decisions in ways we don't understand. It's a sense making framework. As architects, we find that the Cynefin framework is a good thinking model. In the Cynefin framework there are four domains and a fifth disorder domain. The first four domains are: 1. Clear, when something is well understood, 2. Complicated, it's understood by few, 3. Complex, where there are a lot of unknowns. 4. Chaos, when you don't know what's happening. The 5th domain in the middle is called Confused. If you understand which domain you're in, you can assess where you're at, and if you're not aware of where you are, you're just confused. When you deal with situations and teams, it's sometimes easy to see the problem or situation. It falls under one of the domains and there are a bunch of practices to apply. When something's well understood and clear, the practices are different than for something that's complex. There are different ways for you to handle situations. And if you're a manager, there are different ways to manage. A chaotic project needs different practices to a project that you know well and when know what to do. We explain each of the domains and we apply them to Software Development.

Send us a text The Software Development Lifecycle - how does it apply to modern cloud? We are kicking off this episode with the term modern SDLC. The software development lifecycle (SDLC) is changing. When you get into this new way of working, you start differently. It's no longer a straight waterfall/ABCD, or starting with an established system like SCRUM and iterating. So how do you get into a fast flow state? We have discovered a lot of things over the past couple of years. In this episode, we talk you through the phases of the modern software development lifecycle.

Send us a text Dave Anderson, Mark McCann and Mike O'Reilly about sustainability. After doing a lot of reading and writing about sustainability and cloud compute and through the influence of COP 26 the team discuss the how sustainability is now at the top of the agenda. Even Simon Wardley is calling for AWS to bring out carbon cost per lambda execution. Will this be announced at AWS re:Invent 2021? Mark feels it's one of the big wins that all Cloud Providers can easily put out there especially with Microsoft Azure calculator and GCP and their carbon footprint capabilities. Mark sees cost as a proxy for carbon footprint up to now, but it's a big assumption. But with a serverless first approach, sustainability is not for free, but you're getting it as a side effect. Dave talks about the 4 basic models of compute and how hard it is for Cloud providers to report on all cases. But the first step is to get to the cloud and the second step is to think about your energy utilisation. They also discuss the report from AWS this week, that AWS is around 80% more efficient than running your own data centre Mark also talks about teams who have delivered solutions in a serverless first way will be able to adopt any new carbon footprint features that within minutes or hours to satisfy Board/C Suite Level mandates. And they discuss the UK government sustainability guidelines for the Central Digital and Data Office.
