Continuous Disintegration
Team Design for Continuous DeliveryJohn ClaphamIt appears we have the formula for great engineering teams nailed; Cross functional, T-shaped, pizza sized and manifesto enabled. All teams live in tension between their own output and contributing to others’, is spinning up a team in a continuous delivery environment any different? In three sections this talk considers design factors for continuous delivery teams, starting with what, if anything, is different about creating a CD team. We look two key common factors which underpin high performing teams. Finally we explore what you can do to improve your team and assist (or even inspire) it’s continuous delivery capability.

Why?
“Companies with highly engaged workers grew revenues two and a half times as much as those with low engagement levels.”
“Higher workplace engagement also leads to other positive outcomes: - lower absenteeism (37%), - fewer safety incidents (41%) -fewer quality defects (41%).”

Dependability: Can we count on each other to do high quality work on time?
Structure & clarity: Are goals, roles, and execution plans on our team clear?
Meaning of work: Are we working on something that is personally important for each of us?
Impact of work: Do we fundamentally believe that the work we’re doing matters?
Psychological safety: Can we take risks on this team without feeling insecure or embarrassed?
