Keynote: Systems Thinking - Kent Beck & Jessica Kerr

[@kobac8207]

Great explanation of why a cancel culture is hurting those trying to cancel others. People need to find ways to keep talking to each other.

This talk was so great. My team is probably quite annoyed by how many quotes I just shared with them :)

[@AgileStateofMind]

This is such an awesome talk! I was thinking recently about "Systems Thinking" but this is a whole another level. Thanks a lot! I will be sharing it with all my colleagues!

Kent: You still want to crush them like bugs. Jessica: AHAHA ~ maybe ~ you do.

The problem Jessica related makes me wonder if she could have been the original inspiration for the Pointy-haired Boss in Dilbert.

Great talk! However, to apply system thinking, you need to understand and know the context in which your team act and how other people and other teams interact with you. So ... we need some "maps." We work with other people on the team. Our team collaborates with other teams in a value stream. More value streams should coexist and share things within the enterprise.

[@tudorm6838]

And.. IMO the system is beyond the team limits. The minimum system to be considered should be the value stream (all the activities that start and end with the customer). As you mention later, good development is not so useful if you have other bottlenecks.
