Joe Justice - Agile at Tesla - Agile New England Feb 03 2022

[@avocade]

One of the best presentations I've seen on the internals of how Tesla teams work, in sort of an Agile / Mob / Swarm / Cybernetic Collective (literally) way. Big thanks Joe for the depth & candor & humor - a very Musky trait indeed 😄🙏

[@aloufin]

I think thats the most insightful video I've watched on Tesla ever. I've heard before 'we all work on the factory floor', but this blows open that mystery and shows what that really entails

[@uratuls]

Great video on ways to think about scaling agile and measurement towards the org missions

[@sirousmohseni4]

Joe explaining how Tesla works puts a smile on my face. It sounds like working for Tesla is fascinating while super demanding. It thinks sense of satisfaction of working for Tesla is through the roof.

Didn't like the interruption at 3:00, wanted to hear the story about Elon sleeping at the bottleneck. Other than that, great presentation

[@sirousmohseni4]

That's when we sleep!!!!!! That blew my mind.

Who and how are notes taken at open space conferences?

[@3ctrustee908]

Does anyone in here or has anyone worked at the Factory in Fremont Ca?

[@legasik2099]

"Elon Musk is drilling metal" i had to pause the video after hearing that xD 18:00

[@SoundboundOfficial]

"Emitting positivity" toxic positivity, hell yeah !

[@yuriib5483]

how is this agile if all the deadlines and promises are 3-4 years past due.

[@singhprabhjinder]

If you have seen the video, they target to do 6 years work in 6 months. So some delay is expected but still that's way better than others.

[@yuriib5483]

@@singhprabhjinder this does not compute...if you do 6 years of work in 6 month then your evaluation was wrong and you just did 6 month of work. This sounds like ponzi scheme promises of 1% per day returns. Also tesla semi promised production in 2019 but now it is not sooner than 2023 (another lie). This doesn't sound AGILE or LEAN or KAIZEN

[@singhprabhjinder]

@@yuriib5483 Productivity doesn't work like a linear equation. Agree that Tesla has missed their targets but those targets were so aspirational from the beginning that even if they achieve them with some slippage that will still count as a success in my view.

[@yuriib5483]

@@singhprabhjinder that's the opposite of agile then. Predictability is a cornerstone benefit of agile. Years of missed targets is an indicator of poorly implemented agile.

[@yuriib5483]

@@singhprabhjinder productivity is not a linear equation. true. Velocity in agile is a measure of how much work an agile team can deliver on average in a sprint. So like predictable after 10-15 sprints (4-6 month maybe)

[@wrongrabbit3882]

does "positivity" mean you react on every bs with a "brilliant", "amazing", "sooo important!" and then afterwards put people "out of the company" if their performance doesn't live up to the "Tesla-Spirit"? and who decides that anyway? thought they're all the same on the floor - sorry but sounds like a lot of bloomy words and phrases for a very traditional workshop without any definable workers rights

"Agile" is trash... I've seen it in play in many different situations and companies. There are so good qualities, but really is micromanagement and creates tons of worthless jobs. There's an old saying... the development triad. Speed, cost, quality... if you want something good its going to cost or be slow. If you was something cheap then it will either be slow or junk... etc... what is going to happen at Tesla which happened a lot in the dot com era... people went fast and hard... which produced a whole lot of junk and caused so many people getting burnt out... this is why Tesla's self driving cars kill people. Agile always sacrifices quality.

[@1DJRikkiBee]

Tesla's self-driving cars kill people because the product is unfinished and requires users to monitor their car and surroundings, which they don't. Because people are lazy and stupid.
