Richard Hundhausen on Professional Scrum - Episode 100

Richard Hundhausen on Professional Scrum - Episode 100

In today’s episode, Jeffrey is joined by a good friend and incredible software engineer and trainer, Richard Hundhausen.   Richard helps software organizations and teams deliver better products by understanding and leveraging Azure DevOps and Scrum. He is a Professional Scrum Trainer, Professional Scrum Developer, author of Professional Scrum with Azure DevOps (MS Press), and co-creator of the Nexus Scaled Scrum framework. As a software developer and consultant with over 30 years of experience, he understands that software is built and delivered by people and not by processes or tools.   In their conversation today, Richard outlines what Scrum now looks like in 2020, what the roles look like, clears up misconceptions, offers tips to Scrum teams both new and old, and shares some advice on how Scrum teams can best adapt to changes in technology.   Topics of Discussion: [:38] Be sure to visit AzureDevOps.Show for past episodes and show notes.

[14:52] For an organization that wants short cycle times all the way through to production, does Scrum as it exists in 2020, work? [16:59] If someone adopted a flow model, does that mean that they wouldn’t be doing Scrum? Or does Scrum fit nicely with a flow model as well? [18:57] In modern Scrum, are there still roles? And if so, what are they? [22:10] A word from Azure DevOps Podcast’s sponsor: Clear Measure. [24:49] Richard clears up some Scrum misconceptions; explains why Scrum is a framework, not a process; and offers tips to new Scrum teams. [30:42] How new tech fits into modern Scrum and how teams can best adapt to these changes in technology. [34:43] Does the latest Scrum guide specify that you do estimating or is ‘estimating’ a distant relic? [42:27] When will the 2020 Scrum guide come out?

Simon Brown on Architecture for Developers - Episode 96

Simon Brown on Architecture for Developers - Episode 96

In today’s episode, Jeffrey Palermo is speaking with Simon Brown! Simon is the author of Software Architecture for Developers; a developer-friendly guide to software architecture, technical leadership, and the balance with agility. Simon is also the creator of the C4 software architecture model and the founder of Structurizr; a collection of tools to help software teams visualize, document, and explore their software architecture.   In their discussion today, they will take a look at architecture for developers. The topic of architecture is something that all developers need to know about, and there is no better guest than Simon Brown to discuss all things architecture! He shares his experience with practical architecture for developers, his advice on how developers that are new to the industry should begin thinking about architecture, how a development team should go about designating someone for the architect role, and shares some additional resources to explore on the topic of architecture! Simon also gives a rundown of C4, his software architecture model, and Structurizr, his collection of lightweight developer tools.   Topics of Discussion: [:38] Be sure to visit AzureDevOps.Show for past episodes and show notes. [1:22] About the recent Microsoft Build Conference and The Azure DevOps Podcast. [1:44] About today’s episode with Simon Brown! [2:14] Jeffrey welcomes Simon to the show! [2:35] Simon speaks about his background and what led to what he’s currently doing. [3:38] How would Simon encourage developers that are relatively new to the industry to think about architecture? [6:05] Regardless of what the architect role is called, there should always be someone on the team with a wider perspective on the project or goals. [6:38] As someone who has coached a lot of people through this, what would Simon say is the right approach to getting started with architecture? [7:41] How does diagramming fit into architecture? [9:24] Simon shares why he created C4 (a software architecture model) and why developers should be using it! [11:48] Contrasting Simon’s C4, Jeffrey and Simon discuss the 4+1 architectural view model. [14:10] A word from Azure DevOps Podcast’s sponsor: Clear Measure. [14:37] Jeffrey shares some quick announcements. [16:26] Simon discourages developers from installing Viseo, and offers an alternative. [19:03] If general-purpose diagramming tools are not good for software architecture, what does Simon recommend? [20:32] Simon speaks about the essence of his Structurizr tooling: lightweight developer tools that are developer-friendly. [21:47] The stored format of the different views/diagrams is text and therefore would naturally go into the source control repository. So, what does Simon see when he looks in the source control?  [22:58] Simon gives a rundown of what context diagrams, containers, components, and classes are, and when developers should be doing those things. [29:16] Simon answers the question, “Should we treat our assemblies as containers?” [29:41] Simon mentioned that, at the class diagram level, you should not do it by hand. Was he alluding to the fact that there are some generators that he likes to use to generate it? When’s the last time he actually did that level? [31:09] For developer teams that are struggling with how to organize themselves, what does Simon recommend regarding how to designate the architect role? How does Simon coach his clients on this? [34:54] For those who want to learn more, which resources does Simon recommend listeners to check out after listening to this podcast?

Chris Patterson on GitHub Actions - Episode 95

Joining the podcast today is Chris Patterson! Chris is the Staff Product Manager for GitHub Actions at GitHub. He has been in the software industry for more than 20 years. In that time, he has worked on a variety of projects at companies ranging from startups to telecom. Prior to coming to GitHub, he spent 14 years as a Principal Program Manager on Azure DevOps at Microsoft.   In this episode, Jeffrey and Chris take a deep dive into GitHub Actions.

Chris also shares some information regarding GitHub Enterprise Server and what the future roadmap is looking like for GitHub Actions!   Topics of Discussion: [:38] Be sure to visit AzureDevOps.Show for past episodes and show notes. [:48] About the recent Microsoft Build Conference and The Azure DevOps Podcast. [1:55] About today’s episode with Chris Patterson! [2:23] Jeffrey welcomes Chris to the show! [2:42] Chris speaks about his current role at GitHub. [4:00] How separate is GitHub from Microsoft? Or would Chris consider them more integrated? [5:50] Chris compares the model to that of Microsoft’s acquisition of LinkedIn. [7:08] What Chris loves the most about working for GitHub. [7:46] How many time zones does Chris work across? [8:16] Is most of their team still in the pacific time zone or is it pretty evenly distributed? [9:44] Chris catches listeners up on the recent important announcements from Microsoft Build and GitHub Satellite — especially in regards to GitHub Actions and GitHub Enterprise Server. [17:27] Chris elaborates on the strategy regarding integration, credentials, and connections to other services. [18:21] Chris speaks about the changelog on the GitHub blog and why they’ve decided to take a pause with it. [19:10] A word from Azure DevOps Podcast’s sponsor: Clear Measure. [19:35] Jeffrey shares some quick announcements. [21:26] Where is GitHub Actions headed? What’s not there now but is on the roadmap for the future? [24:49] Chris speaks more about the core capabilities they’re working towards with GitHub Actions. [28:16] Is it called “hosted build agents” in GitHub? [28:48] If the GitHub hosted runners don’t have a dependency that’s needed for the build process, you could fall back into a self-hosted. But for some of the really small dependencies, what does Chris recommend? Is this something that’s being worked on to try and make it easier to not fall back to a self-hosted? Or is it not part of the purview of the team? [31:30] Is being able to save a new container image in a container registry far in the future or available today in GitHub Actions? [33:34] Is Chris’ current focus entirely on the new features of GitHub Actions? What else is he up to? [35:00] Chris highlights some of the language and platforms he has learned about recently that he has found particularly interesting and unique. [39:20] Is the correct terminology “action pipelines” or “series of actions” in reference to GitHub Actions? [40:11] For a business application, would there typically be one workflow or a series of workflows?
