PODs won’t fix anything.
It’s the same control-and-bullying culture with a new org chart. Agile already failed here because there is no psychological safety and no real delegation of authority. PODs require exactly those things to work. Strip them out and you just get Dark Agile 2.0: ceremonies turn into surveillance, metrics become performance we-pons, and “self-organizing teams” still operate under the same managerial gaze.
Reorganizing into small AI-enabled teams doesn’t remove the systemic barriers. It just gives the same managers a fresh structure to enforce. We’ve seen this movie before.
Call it whatever. It will just be a scrum team.
Another way to lay off lot of managers.
Just heard something about this today. Some weird idea from BE to have small teams, like a few developers, developing functionality and enabled by AI. So who knows WTF this really is.
These ideas are like putting a band aid on a cut from a chainsaw. There are so many systemic barrier to delivering quickly that whatever you do with PODS (herr rderr) isn't going to do much. And gee, let's create more pockets of work/info, what could go wrong?
@a2, Did you go to agile? PODS is for teams to go to when agile fails. Agile failed at Wells because it is a toxic place, lacks the psychological safety that agile requires.
in our group i have heard a rumor that 'solutions engineers' or any non 'true' architecture engineers above the lowest level will be pushed down into the developer teams and expected to contribute code now.
Technology had PODS in 2021 when I left as a contractor. I will say before the implementated it, they laid off a lot of managers and just used team leads...
yes but how will teams be affected?
I take it as the new and improved agile lol
Basically a new way to do coding, testing etc faster. New way of working using AI, I see it as worse than when we went to agile
