I am excited!

When somebody like Mary Poppendieck during a keynote at the Lean Kanban Central Europe 2014 presents a slide named “Next Generation Software Engineering” and you realise that your teams cover each and every point, it is a great feeling.

The points (blurred in the picture) are:

• Acceptance Test Driven Development process
• Tight collaboration between business and delivery teams
• Cross functional teams include QA and operations
• Automated build testing, db migration and deployment
• Incremental development on mainline with continuous integration
• Software always production ready
• Releases tied to business needs not operational constraints

And there is so much more we can do to improve, even more exciting! Well done PaddyPower! Well done BSD!
