Description

The world we live in is face-paced. When we want something, we tend to want it as soon as possible, with as few delays as possible and with as little resistance as possible. However, when it comes to software development, when more focus is placed on how quickly a process is completed rather than on the people completing those processes, things will inevitably get worse. In a fast-paced world, you have to be willing to invest. When you invest your time and resources into the people you work with and their understanding of the processes that they're being asked to complete, not only will there be an increase in production efficiency, but also in the satisfaction of those who are on your team. In today's podcast, we sit down with Agilist, Mark Shead and explore things such as behavior-driven development, dev-ops, quality assurance testing and how each of these practices can help bring you a great return if you are willing to invest in them. Mark Shead is the acting president of Xeric Corporation, an operation that "helps organizations increase their return on investment in software development." With over 20 years of software development experience and 10 years working as an Agile coach, Mark has helped a wide gamut of businesses (from start-ups to highly regulated spaces) achieve their shared goal of successfully going Agile. We are proud to introduce Mark Shead. Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theagilecoach/support
