Digital Transformation Is Tougher Than You Think. Here’s What Can Help.

,

How hard is it to digitally transform an enterprise? A lot harder than you might imagine. That’s the message delivered by a recent survey, the “MuleSoft Connectivity Benchmark Report 2018.” MuleSoft surveyed 650 IT decision makers around the world and found how important they believe digital transformation is. The report also highlights how difficult it has been for them to digitally transform their enterprises and far they are from achieving their goals.

The report starts out warning, “To put it bluntly, those organizations that fail to digitally transform will start to lose revenue, and fast…But for many organizations, there are still huge barriers to digital transformation like integration, lack of resources, and misalignment between IT and the rest of the business.”

Is There Value in The Daily Standup Meeting?

,

Recently I was teaching an overview class for new Scrum Masters. I was covering the five important events (meetings) in Scrum and had just introduced the Daily Standup Meeting (DSM), when a learner interrupted with the following question: “Given the cost to people’s work time and the cost to the corporation, do Scrum teams generally feel there is value in the Daily Standup Meeting?” He followed with, “How do you feel about the Daily Standup Meeting?”

A study was conducted at the University of Oslo Norway (V. Stray et al, 1997) to answer the first question. The method of study was a survey of professional software developers. Those conducting the survey received 221 responses from professionals who identified either as a general computer programmer or a web developer. Participation was voluntary, no compensation was given, and controls were placed to prevent the same respondent from answering more than once.

China Developer Survey Report 2017 Revisited

,

As the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2018 and GitLab’s 2018 Global Developer are making headlines on the web, developers from around the globe are getting a better view of the various trends and practices in software development. Although these reports are informative, they do not accurately reflect the current state of software development within Mainland China.

In response to this information gap, the Alibaba Cloud Developer Community published its very own annual China Developer Survey Report in December 2017. This study featured over 7,000 developers across China and from various industries answering 118 questions. Through the survey, developers shared their perceptions on several topics, including development environment, development language, programming environment, database, integration management tools, and API capacity preference. They also communicated their understanding and practices in multiple technical fields such as web development, front-end development, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and security.
