Joining Mik for the sixth episode of Mik + One is Sam Guckenheimer, Product Owner for Azure DevOps at Microsoft, and a regular keynote speaker at industry-wide events, and the author of four fantastic books.

In this episode, Mik and Sam discuss:

• How the current situation parallels to previous installation and deployment periods, and the patterns organizations can implement to leverage and survive the Turning Point
• The importance of looking at investments in terms of core versus context, to better understand where the business needs to focus
• The importance of flexibility and business agility, in order to reduce technical debt and optimize the end-to-end idea
• Flow Metrics, and how they can help organizations to better understand end-to-end flow and optimize business outcomes
• Viewing regulations as constraints of doing business, as opposed to objectives, and acting customer-focused in a compliant way to deliver quality products and services
