Decoding Paradoxes: Why are many good ideas in Software Delivery counter-intuitive

July 16, 2024 6:00 pm (UTC)

How does deploying more frequently improve quality?

How does slack time in a team improve reliability?

It's a complex task of juggling social and technical dynamics. There isn't a linear path to follow. How do we deepen our understanding and most importantly, find simpler ways to explain counter-intuitive concepts to others?

In this session, we'll explore these counter-intuitive ideas we grapple with in software delivery, by visualising the socio-technical feedback loops in our software delivery systems.
