Σπεύδε βραδέως (Hurry Slowly)
"Σπεύδε βραδέως" in ancient Greek, or "festina lente" in Latin translates as "hurry slowly" an oxymoron saying to indicate the need for balancing deliberation and urgency.
In this talk we comment on the prevailing perceptions relating to speed of software development and how in a DevOps context what sometimes is perceived as fast from an individual's perspective has a deleterious effect on team performance while practices traditionally viewed by developers as cumbersome have in fact a positive effect on team performance and effectiveness.
Target Audience: Software Engineers and DevOps Practitioners
Prerequisites: None
Level: Advanced
Extended Abstract:
The talk draws on the experience of multiple projects but uses the team setup and 2020/2021 data of the NHS Covid19 app's backend services teams as a showcase for a team that managed to avoid neglecting subjects like peer reviews, documentation, testing etc. in a high pressure, high pace environment.
Vassilis Rizopoulos is Principal Devops Consultant at Zühlke specializing in team efficiency and automation. He has over 25 years of software development experience dealing with a wide area of subjects from embedded and regulated environments to web and cloud infrastructure.
He was one of the lead engineers responsible for developing, deploying and operating the backend services for the NHS Covid19 contact tracing app in 2020/2021.
