What We Learned
What We Learned
- Be a facilitator and accelerator not a gatekeeper. Find ways to include people.
- Companies are often hard to communicate across so things get reinvented.
- Introducing a new system adds complexity. Only removing an old system reduces complexity.
- Don’t try to solve every problem. Do one thing well. (Don’t ignore the big problems though).
- Don’t just build tooling; model processes.
- Tools are temporary, ideas are forever…(well a bit longer than tools anyway).
- Add value without adding complexity.
- Teams depend on your stuff. You should too!
- Don’t build everything straight away. Get something out there and embrace feedback.
- Work with people. Go and speak to them and include their ideas.
- The real problem you’re solving is not technical, it’s people.
- Ensure senior management understand the problem and support you.
