Here’s what I’ve noticed after spending several years in service management: DevOps is coming up more in the conversations I’m having with service desk leaders. Usually, these conversations start with one of the similar questions: DevOps is going to be the death of ITSM, correct? Alternatively, some consider DevOps as a challenge, and ITSM doesn’t […].

It is quite easy to say that we are drowning in work, and most business leaders accept the fact that they're trying to do too many things, too quickly, and not getting the impact they want. At the same time, they are confronted with coaches and advisers stating the obvious that they need to do less and focus more. Unfortunately, this is not useful, merely correct.

While data platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and programming platforms have evolved to leverage big data and streaming data, the front-end user experience has not kept up. Holding onto old BI technology while everything else moves forward is holding back organizations. Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) aren’t built for modern data platforms and don’t work on modern architectures.

In this article, you will learn about the difference between Angular and AngularJS. Angular. It is a very well known top front-end framework. It uses Microsoft’s TypeScript language which has many advantages like type declarations, type checking, object-oriented features and the benefits of ES6 like iterators and lambdas. It has many versions like 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and they all are completely different from AngularJS.

Modeled after Chris Bailey’s bestselling new book, Hyperfocus, this talk reveals how effectively managing our attention hinges on working with greater intention, taming stimulating distractions

Cultural diversity is an increasingly important reality for Agile teams. The way individual team members approach agile values and principles can vary based on their cultural background. Respecting the impact of various cultural backgrounds on how team members think, and act is essential for building a high performing agile team. On the other hand, lack of cultural awareness may lead – at the least - to failure of achieving the team potential.

I find myself subtly drawn to binary questions, though I wish I weren’t. Binary questions have yes/no answers. They ask people to line up on one side or another. They polarize, draw lines, and take sides. They create stability around an issue, which works against agility. The split us into groups of believers and non-believers around the topic. Consider this example of a binary question: Does the “point velocity” of a scrum team matter?

These transformations typically focus on transitioning people into near-autonomous teams of no more than eight people who will work in an agile manner.

Imagine if you could add a more time to your testing, where would you spend it? Although we can't add more hours to our day, we can find time by discovering inefficiencies in our current approach. Many of us feel like we never have enough time to fully test in a given sprint, cycle or other timeframe. We plan for the best case scenario, but, undoubtedly, something happens with our best-laid plans that cause us to feel like we "just didn't test enough.

The “algorithm” is now an entity. It is a subject that society is talking a lot lately. In 2015, a photo app automatically tagged two Afro-American friends as gorillas. In 2016, a bot called Tay learned to be racist, Holocaust denier and that feminists “should all die and burn in hell”, in 12 hours. In less than 24 hours, it was shut down.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability.
