- 13. CULTURE PRINCIPLES CULTURE OF DESIGN PRACTICES TECHNIQUES VS OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS, MANY POSSIBLE ANSWERS. Given a Principle… How do we approach this now? Could we be better? What would good look like? This month? In six months? How will we know we’re getting better? TERMINAL QUESTIONS, YES OR NO ANSWERS. Given a Practice / Technique… Do we or don’t we? Are we or aren’t we? Best practice or not? N/A, we checked the box or didn’t. N/A, we checked the box or didn’t. 13

X ✔ Our Velocity went up! We completed 10 more stories than last week! We delivered this business value, and average cart value went up 10% X ✔ All stories need to be written, in Jira, in this format… We have both a physical and digital backlog, Devs understand stories, and Cycle Time is low X ✔ BETTER > PERFECT We can’t do User Testing—we don’t have external access to staging set-up and that’ll take… Marketing got us in contact with 5 user’s and we’re doing screen share over Skype X ✔ Low Checkout Conversion? What Did We Accomplish This Sprint? Are We Working Effectively? Will We Validate This With Real Users?

- 19. 19 NORMS NOTHING IS ABSOLUTE—EVERYTHING IS NEGOTIABLE This is a HYPOTHESIS DRIVEN model—we discover new truths, things change, and so do we. We try new things. If something stops being useful, it’s gone. Everything in service of the OUTCOMES. Nothing for it’s own sake. EVERYONE A PRODUCT OWNER—EVERYONE A DESIGNER DESIGN WITH THE USER MEASURE EVERYTHING AUTONOMOUS + ACCOUNTABLE We own the outcome—the WHY, and AMAIRAP the what and how of that is totally up to us (Boundaries vs Constraints). That said, WE are accountable for our choices—they’re made intentionally, backed by reason, logged, and transparent. Who Tests the Product? Who meets with Stakeholders? Who participates in User Testing? Who Buys Snacks? Who can sketch a Prototype? Who writes a Story? Who does the 3am Release? Whose fault is this? As much as is reasonable and possible, the continuous design of the product will be a COLLABORATIVE endeavor. AMAIRAP the user (internal too) is involved—or the best proxy we can muster. Everyone takes part in ‘How might we…’ Are our Retros useful? Is this Feature valuable? What’s most painful about Dev to Release? How well are we dealing with Tech Debt? What do our users REALLY care about? How’s team morale? Does this make sense? Can we KNOW?

- 27. CONTINUOUS DELIVERY BUILD TEST RELEASE CI PIPELINE INFRASTRUCTURE Unit Deploy to CI Env Compon ent Tests Contract Tests Deploy to QA Smoke E2E Tests Manual or Automatic Step Manual Step Deploy to Staging The component tests should live in the same repository as the production code Contract tests are defined by the consumer but should be in repo and pipeline of the provider. The code should be refactored and documented in the same way you would production code, both QAs and developers are responsible for the health of it. Avoid the ‘Broken windows’ theory keep the build always green Smoke E2E Tests Manual Step Deploy to Prod Smoke E2E Tests For mature teams cross functional testing can be part of the pipeline. Initially focus on making them automated and easily runnable.
