Craig and Tony are at Agile Australia in Sydney and after many years of chasing him around finally get to speak to Jez Humble, co-author of many fine books including “Continuous Delivery“, “Lean Enterprise“, “The DevOps Handbook” and “Accelerate” and they discuss:

• Accelerate is based on a research program where practices are validated on the impact they had on various organisations
• Agile Australia keynote “The Key to High Performing Tech Organizations“
• There is enormous scope to extend the Accelerate-type research to the rest of the value stream
• “Thinking Fast and Slow” – Daniel Kahneman shows that you can measure psychological and behavioural science
• Project Aristotle by Google – were able to replicate results around culture
• State of DevOps Report
• Jeff Smith at Suncorp
• We all want to ensure that people and data are safe – need to find better ways to achieve control objectives that don’t slow people down
• “Growing Object-Oriented Software, Guided by Tests” – Nat Pryce and Steve Freeman
• Unless you spend weeks or months doing test first it is very hard to get into
• UC Berkeley classes
• Rebecca Parsons drops in!
• Trunk Based Development argument
• The books and frameworks help but you need try and fail by yourself
