What makes a software development team great? Is it about software engineering roles, and the correct distribution of rockstar contributors, or is it about their ability to wield the latest and greatest technology? Is it all down to development team management and leadership? Actually it isn’t really any of these things, the data from DORA says that it is mostly about the ability of the team to self-direct. Teams that can make their own decisions without relying on external permission or instruction do best.
In this episode, software developer Dave Farley, author of “Continuous Delivery”, “CD Pipelines” and “Modern Software Engineering” describes the most important characteristics that predict success in software development teams - great teams take, and own the responsibility for their software and how to structure an organisation to activate that sense of ownership and responsibility.
