๐ **Continuous Global Mobbing Sessions**
๐ Skylar takes us on a journey through his experiences in helping to orchestrate global mobbing sessions, where teams seamlessly transitioned their operations to the cloud. From the initiation of pair/mob coaching to running 24x5 mob sessions across different time zones, Skylar unveils the intricacies of managing overlapping periods and passing the development story baton from one continent to the next.
๐ฐ๏ธ Discover the impact on cycle time and throughput, and unravel the team dynamics when faced with the challenge of context passing. What were the initial reactions? How did team ownership versus individual contribution play out? Find out the surprising results and the lessons learned from this groundbreaking experiment.
๐ **Mobbing Full-Time and Chats with VPs: Revolutionizing Work Prioritization**
๐ก Skylar shares insights on how full-time mobbing can be a stress-relief prescription for development teams, transforming the chaos of multiple priorities into a streamlined, focused approach. Learn how the shift from "everything is #1 priority" to a singular #1 priority improved efficiency and sparked collaboration. Delve into the challenges faced when handling objections to mobbing, and explore the transformative power of mobbing as a problem-solving mechanism.
๐ Skylar's fascinating journey includes encounters with VPs and questioning traditional productivity norms. Hear the thrilling account of a Twitter post leading to a VP discussion on mobbing, and how the Mob experiment unfolded in a transparent "glass house" setting.
๐ **Skylar's Book on Refactoring to Services: Unlocking the Secrets of Microservices**
๐ ๏ธ Transitioning from mobbing to Skylar's expertise in refactoring, we explore his book on refactoring to services. Skylar provides valuable insights into extracting microservices from a monolith, discussing the nuances of branching versus Trunk Based Development (TBD). Gain practical knowledge through concrete examples, and unravel the mysteries of keeping changes small with inside-out versus outside-in refactoring.
๐ Dive into Skylar's evening projects, where he hones his skills and tests hypotheses. Discover the impact of Trunk Based Development on git skills and the art of "forgetting well." Skylar also gives us a teaser on his upcoming book on data empowerment.
