We can learn how to
manage software teams
by studying management
of similar systems
(like traffic management)
![Page 13: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

![Page 14: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
A collection of competing stimulus-response rules
that respond to input, and generate output
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_classifier_system
Learning classifier system
![Page 15: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
It has a performance system with credit assignment
where rules with good results are triggered more often
Learning classifier system
![Page 16: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
It achieves adaptability through rule discovery:
generation and recombination of building blocks
Learning classifier system
![Page 17: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Learning classifier system
And thus we learn that…
Diversity of practices in a software team enhances adaptability
![Page 18: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Subsidiarity principle
“The dictionary defines subsidiarity as the idea that a central authority should have a subsidiary function, performing only those tasks which cannot be performed effectively at a more immediate or local level.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidiarity
![Page 19: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Subsidiarity principle
And thus…
Delegate decisions until you’ve hit a competency problem
(team members decide unless there is some lack of competence)
![Page 20: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Precautionary principle
Assuming that things are risky, in the absence of evidence.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precautionary_principle http://kwebble.com/blog/tag/haarlem
![Page 21: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Precautionary principle
And thus…
Decide who has the burden of proof for competency
(assume team members are competent, unless proven they’re not)
![Page 22: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Shared space
Increased risk perception People are less mindful when they see no risks
Reduced false security / risk compensation People show riskier behavior when they think they are safe
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shared_space
![Page 24: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Shared space
And thus…
Remove rules to increase risk perception and reduce false security
![Page 25: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Memetics
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memeplex
A memeplex is a collection of ideas grouped together because copying them is more successful when they are “teamed up”
![Page 26: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Memetics
And thus…
Adopting a named collection of practices (Scrum, XP, Kanban) can be more successful than copying individual practices
![Page 27: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Broken windows
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixing_Broken_Windows http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewin's_Equation
When broken windows are not repaired people have the tendency to break more windows
Lewin’s Equation
B = f (P,E)
Behavior is a function of
personality and environment
![Page 28: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Broken windows
And thus…
Address the small problems, not just the big ones
![Page 29: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Agile Manifesto
On the 2nd page…
“Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility”
Excellence… how?
http://www.agilemanifesto.org/principles.html

But how do we develop competence?
![Page 33: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Maturity models (like the CMMI)?
Level 1: Initial Process is unpredictable
Level 2: Managed Process is often reactive
Level 3: Defined Process is proactive
Level 4: Qualitatively Managed Process is measured/controlled
Level 5: Optimizing Focus on process improvement
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capability_Maturity_Model_Integration
![Page 36: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
“Many of these ‘Process Maturity’ models do not explicitly take into account that organizations are complex social systems. If it is performance that really counts, then we need to go beyond maturity to look at how an organization develops business process competence.”
Andrew Spanyi, “Beyond Process Maturity to Process Competence.”
http://processownercoach.com/To%20Process%20Competence.pdf
Maturity models (like the CMMI)?
![Page 37: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Three maturity levels (for skill)
Shu traditional wisdom, learning fundamentals (apprentice)
Ha detachment, breaking with tradition (journeyman)
Ri transcendence, everything is natural (master)
(last column: three similar levels in medieval European guild system)
Note: the Dreyfus Model lists five levels of skill acquisition:
Beginner, Advanced Beginner, Competent, Proficient, Expert
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuhari http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_craftsman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreyfus_model_of_skill_acquisition

Six maturity levels (for discipline)
Oblivious “We don’t even know that we’re performing a process.”
Variable “We do whatever we feel like at the moment.”
Routine “We follow our routines (except when we panic).”
Steering “We choose among our routines by the results they produce.”
Anticipating “We establish routines based on our past experiences.”
Congruent “Everyone is involved in improving everything all the time.”
Gerard Weinberg, Quality Software Management: Systems Thinking
(Alternative: six similar levels in “Agile Made Us Better…” by Ross Petit)

Competence = maturity in 2 dimensions
![Page 40: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
1. Self-development
People must learn...
urgence vs. importance
time management
boosting memory
finding motivation
![Page 41: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
2. Coaching
Hire external coaches
Develop competency leaders
Note: manager != coach
![Page 42: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
3. Certification
By itself a certificate doesn’t mean anything, but...
it can catalyze all other competency measures
![Page 43: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
4. Social pressure
Let people identify with a small group
Give them shared responsibility for shared goals
![Page 44: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
5. Adaptable tools
Tools must be adaptable, not just customizable
Open databases, APIs, scripts, plug-ins, reports
![Page 45: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
6. Supervision
Have someone sample/check the products of teams
![Page 46: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
7. Management
One-on-ones to assess problem situations
360 degree meetings to assess collaboration
![Page 47: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Individual competence
“We learned that individual expertise did not distinguish people as high performers. What distinguished high performers were larger and more diversified personal networks.”
Cross, Rob et.al. The Hidden Power of Social Networks. Boston: Harvard Business School Press, 2004
![Page 52: The Big-Ass View on Competence (and Communication)](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051322/541561d78d7f72336c8b4678/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Individual competence
“Engineers are roughly five times more likely to turn to a person for information as to an impersonal source such as a database.”
Cross, Rob et.al. The Hidden Power of Social Networks. Boston: Harvard Business School Press, 2004

“The idea of “chunking”: a group of items is perceived as a single “chunk”. The chunk’s boundary is a little like a cell membrane or a national border. It establishes a separate identity for the cluster within. According to context, one may wish to ignore the chunk’s internal structure or take it into account.”
Hofstadter, Douglas. Gödel, Escher, Bach. New York: Basic Books, 1979
