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.

Team structure and team measurement can dramatically influence how much value teams provide during a Sprint or product increment (PI). It can also influence how smoothly the software development process operates for the teams in your organization. Generally, teams can be organized into two structures, a skills-based structure with similar skills on a single team or a domain-based structure where a team has all the skills needed to deliver value in one area of the application.

The Ring doorbell spent much of 2019 getting buzzed by perceived security and privacy issues, from secret agreements with law enforcement agencies to cybersecurity practices that put its users at risk. Given that Ring, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, bills its devices as helping to build “safer neighborhoods,” its apparently lax approach to protecting customer data struck a number of people as more than ironic.

When customer companies buy software products, they usually need skilled staff to install them. This staff is usually provided by a service provider company, since software product vendors don't find it makes business sense to build their own services arm. Customers need to be aware of the relationship between product vendors and service providers, and should require transparency on the relationship from those they work with.

I posted on twitter recently asking for recommendations. Specifically for non-designers who need some design literacy, but without the goal of becoming a professional designer. Not UI design, not UX, but focusing on aesthetics. Often pro designers recommend books from their degree program, but that’s not quite what I’m after, as those books tend to assume you’re going to be a practicing designer.
