#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.

Same poet, different book. Rilke, the Bohemian poet and playwright, already made an appearance in the original list, so I’m well aware that bringing him back on day two of a sequel about not repeating myself is a strange way to start. But the Duino

The Thursday Murder Club

I wanted to read this series after seeing the delightful movie on Netflix, which would have been worth it if only for the stellar cast. After I started, I couldn’t possibly stop. I think I read the whole thing in a month. Here’s what I

Summertime (though the living ain’t easy)

There is a particular kind of August laziness that likes to dress itself up as a fashionable pose: you can’t undertake significant projects in August, you’re not supposed to, apparently, you aren’t even supposed to read anything that’s too complicated (though I wonder, if you
