Product Backlog Building Canvas - Many software teams describe desired product capabilities as a product backlog: a list of user stories. These stories capture who needs the work, what the work is, and why it's needed. Too often teams expect a product owner to be the sole source of the backlog, but anyone could (and should) write user stories. Paulo Caroli teaches teams to use a Product Backlog Building Canvas, which provides a simple process to develop user stories, starting with describing personas for product users and the activities they do. These activities yield features: their interactions with the product. Features are broken down into backlog items, which can then be formulated into user stories from the background of personas and activities. [Martin Fowler]
Ogooreck, a sneaky testing library in BDD style - Some time ago, I saw an excellent presentation of Dylan’s Beattie presentation - The Art of Code. It reminds us of what we are here for. By… [Event-Driven by Oskar Dudycz]

'Where is my car?': Toyota's event-driven customer engagement platform - Last weekend, I went on a long walk to prepare for The Four Days Marches Nijmegen.

Conway’s Law Doesn’t Apply to Rigid Designs - The Inverse Conway Manoeuvre is an organisational engineering device. It tells us to change our team and organisational structure to achieve the system design we want. More and more organisations reorganise based on this idea, and yet they don’t end up with the system they’d like. What are we missing? There’s evidence of the Manoeuvre being applied. GitHub for example is a distributed company that built a tool for distributed collaboration using GitHub to build it. While systems do mimic their organisations’ structure, changing the organisation doesn’t seem to have the same effect. [Mathias Verraes]

You Probably Don't Need to Worry About MediatR - I've been pointed at this post from various sources, and I thought I'd take the time to address the criticisms one by one. Not because I personally care too much, MediatR evolved over many years to solve the problems my teams faced, but since others seem to care, here we go. [Jimmy Bogard]
