Comment on Team-based organizations vs. role-based organizations by Tim

Just a call out that your premise of why role-based team structures don’t work is based on the assumption there has not also been conscious org design work done to resolve the inherent conflict between “my boss” and “my team lead”. This conflict can, and should, be resolved as a part of the work to implement a role-based work environment.

The challenge inherent in the ‘team-based structure’ you’ve drawn is the inherent rigidity that comes from trying to force fit an org design construct (cross-functional teams) into a hierarchical pattern that really only works for functionally-aligned organizations.

To make these things work – role-based work and cross-functional teams – it helps a lot to ditch the notion that a two-dimensional hierarchy is the only way to ‘organize’ people.

Comment on Iteration Management – Post #5 – Estimates by George @ Quantify

Sometimes story points are used for reporting like in your example — categories of work. The problem is that estimates don’t necessarily represent actuals. What is your recommendation to address it?

Do you have any suggestions for having a dynamic AHK GUI for writing SQL select queries? A Gui where the user can simply select the functions, clauses and/or operators, fill in the table and column names and then the complete query is built by the application. That can help anyone who is aware of the basics, but is not hands-on the way a query should be built.

Comment on Using Cucumber for unit tests… why not? by Daulet Kadirbekov

Daulet Kadirbekov — Fri, 15 Mar 2019 12:04:51 +0000

It’s 2019, and this topic is still relevant. I’m currently started to implement Cucumber in the project and I tried to write unit tests(not only integration) in Cucumber too. First time it was hard to write test, using mocks. But after several tests, it became same as writing by JUnit. And suddenly, it became more pleasant to write Unit tests with Cucumber.
Conclusion: I think we will use Cucumber for unit tests also.
