#BIMpill – Il principio di Swarming

Il principio di swarming in DevOps fa parte della cosiddetta “seconda via”, ovvero quella che favorisce un flusso di feedback rapido e costante che risale da chi utilizza i prodotti a chi li sviluppa, perché possano essere incorporati nei cicli successivi di produzione. Dato che il feedback sul prodotto dev’essere incentivato, correttamente amplificato e valorizzato, vengono individuate diverse tecniche per favorire queste dinamiche all’interno del flusso di produzione.

L’idea di “aggredire” i problemi (swarming), è orientata appunto a conseguire tre sotto-obiettivi, mentre l’obiettivo primario è costruire nuova conoscenza:

  1. impedire ai problemi di propagarsi lungo la catena di sviluppo, dove il costo di risolverli è più alto (un principio che già abbiamo visto in relazione all’impedire di incorporare difetti nelle fasi iniziali di sviluppo, perché andando avanti con il lavoro questi difetti si ingigantiscono);
  2. impedire che il dipartimento di sviluppo inizi nuovo lavoro basandosi sugli errori pregressi: spesso i progetti precedenti vengono presi come base di partenza per nuovi cicli di sviluppo senza sapere se effettivamente quella soluzione tecnica si sia rivelata vincente;
  3. impedire di incorrere negli stessi problemi con le consegne di nuovi prodotti.

But for pursuit of virtue and of knowledge

I’m sure you’ve read enough analysis of Nolan’s Odyssey to last a lifetime, and you don’t need another European ranting that he changed stuff, so I’m not going to. Instead, I’d like to talk about the movie in itself, as an independent work, granting the
