DevOps North East - April 2021 - "Its complicated!"

April 2021 - "It's Complicated" – Complexity Theory, Forecasting and the Nature of Work

Why did that work take longer than expected?

What's the best way to deliver this new thing we've got?

Why did that initiative sprout legs and run around?

In this talk, join Tom Hoyland at DevOps North East, where we will be diving into the world of Complexity Theory and how teams have been using it to understand the nature of work, increase confidence in forecasts and better manage risk.
We'll demonstrate how to bring delivery frameworks, tools and professions together, all with real-world examples.
You'll see how Discovery and Delivery can be knitted together by asking better questions, respecting heuristics and promoting a culture of learning....

Interested in Metrics? Then we've got you covered with the observability paradox!

Wondering how to break that work down into smaller chunks? Yep, we'll discuss that.

To Spike or Not to Spike? Ok, we've got the answer to that question too.....

There will also be the usual D.O.N.E. chat....
