In this podcast Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Dominica DeGrandis about time thieves, making work visible, the important themes from the DevOps Enterprise Summit and ways to be more productive.
Why listen to this podcast:
• If we can understand the thieves of time better we can get some time back from our overburdened work-life
• Having too much work in progress is the mother of all the other thieves of time
• Much of our work is based on arbitrary rather than real due dates
• Most daily stand up events take too long because of the focus on status - Instead of talking about what people are doing rather talk about what’s blocking them
• Different type of works needs different time focus – managers vs makers
• The value of having a regular cadence for meetings and for “Do Not Disturb” time
• The danger, and harm, that comes about from believing there are “best” practices which can be applied in complex or complicated domains
