Disrupt Or Be Disrupted In Digital Business Transformation

The digital-first economy is like a treadmill that keeps getting faster and faster. If you don’t keep up, you fall. The collapse of the video-rental service provider Blockbuster serves as a cautionary tale of exactly this. Blockbuster was once to movies what McDonald’s is to fast food. It was once a global empire in its field, with more than 9,000 branches internationally but is now a faded memory, having closed its remaining stores permanently in 2014.

Boosting Efficiency with Sprint Velocity​

Sprint Velocity is the key metric in a Scrum framework. In Agile teams, it refers to the analysis of past workloads to calculate how much work can be done in future sprints. Velocity is calculated at the end of the sprint by adding up the points for all completed Users Stories or customer requirements. With this prior knowledge, businesses can plan future projects knowing how much work can be completed in the next sprint. This helps them to accurately allocate time and resources to complete projects and tasks.

Furthermore, Sprint Velocity estimates give customers and stakeholders a better idea of when they can expect the delivery of products and services.

This guide will cover the best ways to improve Sprint Velocity. The common denominator is that to move faster, you must make the effort now and “plant the seeds” to enable higher productivity in future sprints.

SRE vs. DevOps – What’s the Difference?

The terms ‘DevOps’ and ‘SRE’ are often used interchangeably, with SRE methods and techniques accompanying DevOps culture and practices, though there are several key differences.

The term ‘DevOps’ is short for ‘development and operations’, and it refers to the culture and practices of collaboration between software developers and IT operations professionals. The goal of DevOps is to shorten the software development life cycle and increase the frequency and quality of software releases. ‘SRE’, on the other hand, stands for ‘site reliability engineering’. SRE is a set of practices and principles for achieving operational excellence with cloud-based services.

SRE teams work to ensure that DevOps procedures create quality software and meet operational Service Level Objectives (SLOs).

SREs typically have a background in operations and software development, while DevOps teams can include QA experts, developers, engineers, and SREs.

While both DevOps and SRE are concerned with improving the quality and speed of software development, they are distinct approaches with different goals.
