It's inevitably at odds with itself--we're trying to both saying things clearly & concisely & at the same time learning new concepts that we can't possibly express clearly & concisely because we just learned them. 013333

A simple first step: when your stakeholders share user stories or business rules, ask them for a concrete example. Dig into the details—think about a specific persona, a customer’s name, or exact figures. Avoid abstract descriptions. 1/3 1153

Wouter Lagerweij @wouterla.bsky.social · 22/01/2024Oh, absolutely. We do have the equivalent of 'Miss' (Mejuffrouw), but it's considered very quaint and outdated, as far as I can tell. I don't think there's a 'Ms'. And everyone here speaks English, but don't expect nuance and accuracy... 🤷 010
Wouter Lagerweij @wouterla.bsky.social · 22/01/2024I'd like that! I do think there's a coupling, but not necessarily a preset path. Introducing a new tech practice, pairing or tdd, might need enough slack for the team, and some level of trust. But if I need to start working in smaller steps, I might need those tech practices to be successful. 010
Wouter Lagerweij @wouterla.bsky.social · 22/01/2024Certainly in Dutch culture, we have a tendency to not use titles. It's very quickly seen as somewhat snobby to insist. Irregardless of gender, of course. Which also means we might come across as too familiar, using first name, or both first and last, in the opening of an e-mail. 3171
Wouter Lagerweij @wouterla.bsky.social · 22/01/2024Thanks! I could've used that nice name 200 pages ago :-) There's also the quote about not being able to get out of trouble using the same thinking that got you into it. It's been a theme in my work that technological and organisational change needs to happen in lockstep. I can't see another way. 110
Wouter Lagerweij @wouterla.bsky.social · 21/01/2024Sometimes the legacy is because you don't make the change. Sometimes the legacy is because you _do_ make the change, but not in the way or in the place it should be made, because that is out of reach. And then you have the same thing twice, but slightly different... 000
Wouter Lagerweij @wouterla.bsky.social · 21/01/2024Whether it's difficult to change because you can't make the change yourself (outsourced, or simply owned by others in the company), or because it's hard to even know what the side effects of the change will be and you are afraid to try it, you will end up with legacy. 100
Wouter Lagerweij @wouterla.bsky.social · 21/01/2024I ended up with: "Legacy is all the attributes of a system, including the organization building the system, that prevents us from delivering at the pace and quality needed and expected by the market." And then spent 2 chapters trying to explain that :-)linkedin.comWouter Lagerweij on LinkedIn: LegacyOne of the things I do in my still-in-progress-but-getting-there-really! book, "The Product Owner's Guide To Escaping Legacy", might be cheating a little.

Wouter Lagerweij @wouterla.bsky.social · 21/01/2024Thanks for the link @markdalgarno.bsky.social! I struggled with the definition of 'legacy' while writing my book-in-progress, "The Product Owner's Guide To Escaping Legacy". I needed a way to ensure it was a shared responsibility, and 'code not under test' was not sufficient. 120
Wouter Lagerweij @wouterla.bsky.social · 13/11/2023Of course, I'm someone that prefers to send longer messages from a device with a physical keyboard. I guess that means I'm not the best person to ask ;-) 010
Wouter Lagerweij @wouterla.bsky.social · 13/11/2023My car / phone can easily read me messages I receive. And you shouldn't be sending chat messages, text or audio, while driving. If it's important, stop and send a message. If it's not important, make sure you don't make the receiving party do extra work for a message that is not important! 110
Wouter Lagerweij @wouterla.bsky.social · 13/11/2023I tend to not listen to those. I can't immediately, usually, and then I forget. In most cases, I do think sending an audio message is being very inconsiderate of the receiver's time and effort. 110
