Teaming for Faster Cycle Times in the Device Industry with Luca Ingianni & Jeff Gable

The Mob Mentality Show

Welcome to a groundbreaking episode of the Mob Mentality Show, where worlds collide in a crossover event with Luca Ingianni & Jeff Gable from The Agile Embedded Podcast. Joining us as they delve deep into the intricacies of the embedded systems industry from a teaming/mobbing perspective.

In the first part of the discussion, industry veterans Jeff and Luca share their insights into the "Pain Points and Practices of the Embedded Systems Industry." They explore the challenges of code coupled to hardware and discuss strategies for breaking down isolated silos. Can Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, and Firmware Engineers all work well together? How has the industry coped with post-COVID supply chain issues, and is the traditional yearly release cycle still viable?

Key Highlights:

• Code decoupling strategies
• Adapting to post-COVID challenges
• Breaking down industry silos
• Cross-discipline team formation

In the second part of the discussion, Chris and Austin provide an "Intro to Mob Programming from an Embedded Systems Perspective." Uncover the dynamics of collaboration with firmware engineers, the power of ad-hoc mobbing, and the benefits of problem-solving together in real-time. Learn about the growth of mobbing, from "destroying silos" to "just sharing" and "coalition of the willing." The hosts explore sizing mobs/teams for large cross-functional IOT teams, live code reviews, and the application of Conway's Law.

Key Highlights:

• Collaborative problem-solving
• Mobbing for less coupling
• Sizing mobs for large teams
• Applying Conway's Law and Inverse Conway Maneuver

Join us on this journey of exploration and transformation, covering topics from safety-critical processes to clean architecture. Unleash the potential of Mob Programming in the embedded systems domain and discover new avenues for collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement.

Tune in for a paradigm-shifting episode that will inspire, inform, and propel your understanding of teamwork and agility in the embedded systems industry. Don't miss out on this unique collaboration between Mob Mentality Show and The Agile Embedded Podcast!
