Many of the original leaders in agile software development have now disavowed the term. Why? In short, it&#39;s been devalued. Literally, stripped of its values. Today, the word is used as a capitalize noun, as in the hideous phrasing, &quot;Do Agile,&quot; rather than as the lowercase adjective it was meant to be.</p> <p>The word &quot;Agile&quot; always seemed like a branding initiative, bundling together the various things we had been calling &quot;lightweight methods&quot; and giving them a business-friendly label. It succeeded. No manager in their right mind goes on record saying, &quot;Agile? We&#39;ll have none of that, thank you very much.&quot;</p> <p>Dave suggests that we need an adverb rather than an adjective. It should describe how we <em>develop software</em>, rather than describing ourselves.</p> <p>I think we face the same problem, and the <a href="http://tech.mangot.com/blog/2013/05/29/-im-not-a-devops-dot-dot-dot-are-you-an-agile/">same debate</a>, with the label &quot;DevOps.&quot;</p> <p>Here&#39;s my proposal. We do need a label for a style of organization. Not for a team, nor for the individuals within that organization. If nothing else, we need that label as a shorthand to describe the style of interaction we expect. It helps us understand what <a href="http://thinkrelevance.com/blog/2014/02/17/culture-is-defined-by-what-you-cannot-say">culture to expect</a>.</p> <p>However, I think we also need a label that isn&#39;t so attractive to tool vendors and Big Process consultancies.</p> <p>I propose we adopt the adverb &quot;Etsily&quot;. It refers to <a href="http://etsy.com">Etsy</a> of course, since they are the avatars of DevOps anyway. It sounds a little bit silly, so it should safely repel the blue-shirt consultants and enterprise tool vendors. Finally, it&#39;s an adverb so it can be used in sentences like, &quot;We build things etsily.&quot;</p> http://thinkrelevance.com/blog/2014/03/11/dan-croak-of-thoughtbot-cognicast-episode-051 2014-03-11T14:00:00Z 2014-03-11T14:00:00Z Craig Andera craig@thinkrelevance.com <p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/cognicast/covers/051-dan-croak.jpg" alt="cover art"></p> <p>We talk to <a href="http://dancroak.com">Dan Croak</a> of <a href="http://thoughtbot.com">thoughtbot</a> about the thoughtbot playbook, their approach to remote work, and their software development philosophies.</p> <p><a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/cognicast/shows/cognicast-051-dan-croak.mp3">Listen to</a> or <a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/cognicast/shows/cognicast-051-dan-croak.mp3" download="http://s3.amazonaws.com/cognicast/shows/cognicast-051-dan-croak.mp3">download</a> this episode.</p> <h1>Subscribing to The Cognicast</h1> <p>The show is <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/thinkrelevance-the-podcast/id498067022">available on iTunes</a>!

In it, I talk about the <a href="http://www.getchef.com/blog/2010/07/16/what-devops-means-to-me/">CAMS model</a> for DevOps. The &#39;C&#39; in CAMS stands for Culture, and it&#39;s always a hard one to define. Yes, we do say that DevOps is about culture not tools. But what kind of culture? I can say <em>everything</em> is a culture. Agile development is a culture. But so is waterfall development, or cowboy coding.</p> <p>Every time we try to define the culture, we end up using words like communication, collaboration, and feedback. The problem is that those words don&#39;t differentiate DevOps from <a href="http://www.itil-officialsite.com/">ITIL</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_quality_management">TQM</a>, or any other operational process since <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Edwards_Deming">Deming</a>.</p> <p>Your culture is really defined by the things that would be unthinkable to say.</p> <p>In that light, I&#39;d like to offer some statements that you will never hear in a DevOps culture.</p> <ul> <li>That&#39;s not my job.</li> <li>(From a developer) Well, the tests all pass, so the problem must be in Operations.</li> <li>(From operations) I did everything right, it must be a code problem.</li> <li>Oh, production is down? I didn&#39;t know.</li> <li>I built the production environment by hand. There&#39;s no reason to automate it because we&#39;re only doing it once.</li> <li>How close is QA to production? I don&#39;t know.</li> <li>You need a new environment? Put in a service request and we&#39;ll see.</li> <li>Your service request was approved. You should have a new machine in a few weeks.</li> <li>Why do you need another terabyte of storage? You&#39;re already using a terabyte!</li> <li>Our DBAs won&#39;t let you install that server. We&#39;re a SQL Server shop.</li> <li>I don&#39;t know what our slowest query is.</li> <li>I don&#39;t know how many cores our production environment has.</li> </ul> <p>I could go on, but I think you get the idea.</p> <p>How many statements like these do you hear around your company?</p> http://thinkrelevance.com/blog/2014/02/11/carin-meier-cognicast-episode-049 2014-02-11T15:00:00Z 2014-02-11T15:00:00Z Craig Andera craig@thinkrelevance.com <p><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/cognicast/covers/049-carin-meier.gif" alt="cover art"></p> <p>We talk to <a href="http://gigasquidsoftware.com/">Carin Meier</a> of <a href="http://www.neo.com/">Neo</a> about speech acts, storytelling, and robot dance parties.</p> <p><a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/cognicast/shows/cognicast-049-carin-meier.mp3">Listen to</a> or <a href="http://s3.amazonaws.com/cognicast/shows/cognicast-049-carin-meier.mp3" download="http://s3.amazonaws.com/cognicast/shows/cognicast-049-carin-meier.mp3">download</a> this episode.</p> <h1>Subscribing to The Cognicast</h1> <p>The show is <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/thinkrelevance-the-podcast/id498067022">available on iTunes</a>!
