Description:

Max and Luniel co-authors of the book - "Ready: Why Most Software Projects Fail and How to Fix It", discuss the concept of Readiness in software engineering with host Brijesh Ammanath. While Agile workflows and technical practices help delivery, many software efforts still struggle to achieve desired outcomes. Rework, shifting requirements, delays, defects, and mounting technical debt plague software delivery and impede or altogether halt progress toward goals. The problem is often that implementation begins prematurely, before the team is properly set up for success. A strict system of explicit readiness work and gating, called Requirements Maturation Flow (RMF), solves this problem in a SDLC-independent way. Teams that have adopted RMF dramatically improve progress toward real goals while reducing stress on engineering teams. In this podcast, Max and Luniel deep dive into Requirements Maturation Flow (RMF) and explain its foundational pillars.

Objective -

  • Understand why most software projects fail, what causes rework, under-delivery and delays.
  • What is Requirements Maturation Flow and its 3 foundational practices?
  • Understanding the value of having Readiness as a explicit work item
  • Understanding Definition of Done
  • Understanding Definition of Ready
