The Agile Manager

AUGUST 31, 2021

If we accept the fact that Agile is a value system and not a set of mechanical processes, it stands to reason that there must be something different about the norms and behaviors of Agile managers vis-a-vis traditional managers. The metrics are only very rarely used to drive the team.

To accomplish this goal, an organization needs to build internal processes and procedures that can operationalize a performance-first culture. According to Tim Kadlec : A performance budget is a clearly defined limit on one or more performance metrics that the team agrees not to exceed and that is used to guide design and development.

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, ensuring high-quality software is crucial for organizations to thrive. Service level objectives (SLOs) provide a powerful framework for measuring and maintaining software performance, reliability, and user satisfaction. But the pressure on CIOs to innovate faster comes at a cost.

For example, the PID namespace makes it so that a process can only see PIDs in its own namespace, and therefore cannot send kill signals to random processes on the host. There are also more common capabilities that are granted to users like CAP_NET_RAW, which allows a process the ability to open raw sockets.

Most monitoring tools for migrations, development, and operations focus on collecting and aggregating the three pillars of observability— metrics, traces, and logs. Using a data-driven approach to size Azure resources, Dynatrace OneAgent captures host metrics out-of-the-box to assess CPU, memory, and network utilization on a VM host.

The solution is proactive monitoring using time-lapse metrics monitoring like what you would get with Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM). Using time-lapse metrics monitoring, we can monitor overall disk consumption and the rate at which consumption occurs and then predict how much time we have left before we run out of space.

What would you say is the job of a software developer? A layperson, an entry-level developer, or even someone who hires developers will tell you that job is to … well … write software. They’d say that the job involves writing some software, sure. But deep down it’s about the purpose of software. Pretty simple.

In the same way that we have moved from a few big software releases a year to continuous delivery of many small changes, we need to move from annual disaster recover tests or suffering when things actually break, to continuously tested resilience.

Site performance is potentially the most important metric. Having a slow site might leave you on page 452 of search results, regardless of any other metric.

Moreover, just like an A/B test, we’ll be collecting metrics while the experiment is underway and performing statistical analysis at the end to interpret the results. In all cases we need to be able to carefully monitor the impact on the system, and back out if things start going badly wrong. On error rates.
