Post-Agile: What Organizations Actually Need Now
Agile meant something once. Now it means almost nothing, and that loss created a real opening for organizational development that actually fits.
Patient agility: Is agile working dying?
Agility is ailing in many companies, but it is not dead. Two rescue service schemes show where the pain is and what can help now.
Why Your CI Pipeline Is Lying to You
Flaky tests don't just slow down CI, they erode trust until engineers stop believing the build. Here's how to fix that.
How Testers Impact Developer Experience
Four DORA metrics already measure what QA teams care about most. Here's how testers can make their work visible through DevEx coaching.
Ask Me Anything about AI, automation and Shift Left
176 episodes, 122,000 downloads, flaky tests, AI fears and a microphone faux pas: what the year really left behind.
Control what you can control
Stoic philosophy turns out to be a sharper tool for product decisions than most agile frameworks. Here's why outcome focus misleads teams.
What is Behavior Driven Development, Really?
Most teams treat BDD as a testing technique and miss the real value. Here is what happens when examples drive shared understanding instead.
Everyone Owns Quality? Really?
When everyone owns quality, no one really does. Why cross-functional teams often lack the deep testing skills they need most.
Remote Testing Services
Bringing external testers into the agile team - in one week? How this works with contingents, clear communication and a fixed contact person.
Built in Quality
Agile quality often breaks not in the team, but one layer above. How practices, not frameworks, keep quality from falling through the cracks.
Retrospectives done right
Why do retrospectives so often produce the same little pieces of paper? Five phases, a design canvas and a crucial error in thinking about the measures.
Holistic Testing
Quality isn't a phase you reach at the end of a sprint. Holistic testing shows how shared understanding early prevents the rework that quietly kills teams.
Learning with simulations
If you really want to understand agile working, you don't need a slide - you need a board, cards and a round of simulation.
Quality in the SAFe environment
Quality responsibility does not end at the story boundary. How quality coaching in SAFe closes the gaps between teams that nobody wanted to see.
Software Analysis
What happens when a third of the adopted code is only available as a black box? How an agile mindset and honesty can save a ticket store project.
Shift Left but Right
Why do testing activities always end in a traffic jam just before go-live? Shift left alone is not enough: How synthetic monitoring reuses the same test case.
What you should know about change even in post-agile times
Agile transformation with a hangover? Four change models show why change fails and how small steps achieve more than major upheavals.
Planet Earth as a stakeholder
Why should the earth be a stakeholder in the next sprint? Sustainable software saves costs, conserves resources and makes systems better for everyone.
Don't give me technicality
Scrum provides a process, but not a plan for good requirements. What happens before the backlog often determines product success more than any sprint.
Agile remote teams vs. on-site teams
Remote teams can work better together than office teams, but only on one condition: Knowledge must be networked, not people.
DevOps
DevOps is not a process model, but a battle cry against burnout and wasted budgets. Four metrics show where things really get stuck.
New edition Agile Testing
Agile testing has long been common sense, but why does overall quality still fail when twelve teams run at each other?
Keep CI small
6.000 test cases, CI runtime under 10 minutes: How test-based selection via code coverage makes exactly that possible.
Continuous Everything - Do we need it?
Shift left sounds good, but does it really make a difference? How six years of data show what Continuous Everything actually changes and what it doesn't.
A critical look at BDD
BDD looks simple, but it's not. Why Gherkin without real team communication creates more effort than benefit, and how to do it right.
House of Agile Quality
Agile quality needs more than test automation: roles, approach and processes must fit together. The House of Agile Quality shows you where to start.
Shift Left
If you only check quality during testing, you've already lost. How unit tests, IDE plugins and contract testers make errors visible earlier.
Ensemble testing and ensemble programming
Four to six people, one keyboard, real code: Ensemble Testing brings testers and developers together where documentation and meetings fail.
What is BDD (Behavior Driven Development)?
Why do developers and business departments read the same requirement and still understand something different? BDD and Given-When-Then close precisely this gap.
Quality assurance in agile projects
Quality in agile projects is not created at the back in acceptance testing, but at the very front in dialog. Why this is the case and what often goes wrong.
