howdo successfulorgs scale?
» start somewhere simple that kind-of-works
» question and honestly evaluate current state
» adjust until it stops hurting
» high degree of automation supporting feedback
» repeat
DOD Keyflags
» Nobody on the software development team is
observing the users in action
» Continuous feedback from users not available
» Meeting requirements more important than getting
something useful into the field as quickly as
possible
» Manual processes tolerated when such processes can
and should be automated
