How to Decide in Self-Managed Projects - a Lean Approach to Governance
Whether self-managed or self-governed as a project, the power still needs to be distributed internally. If the project is open to decide how things are done, how do we decide? A solid but flexible set of tools and practices like sociocracy is a great starting point for projects to have clear but lean processes that can grow as we grow.

Gamification: a Strategy for Enterprises to Enable Digital Product Practices
To embrace the changing needs of consumers, organizations are exploring new ways to ideate, collaborate and create products, some of them being embracing co-creation models, investment in long-term value, and fostering collective wisdom through gamification. This article shows how gamification helps to create perspective around product practices and bring us closer to next-generation products.

How Medical Companies are Innovating through Agile Practices
The adoption of Agile methods has been steadily growing in medical product companies over the past ten years. Practices vary from cloud-based continuous flow for data-intensive services to sprint-based for physical devices with embedded software. The question is no longer whether, but how Agile can work in medical product development - for our mix of technical, market, and regulatory constraints.

Consistency, Coupling, and Complexity at the Edge
Successful use of a microservices architecture requires maintaining a clear separation of concerns in the various layers and by employing design principles best suited to each layer. While RESTful API design has become the standard for microservices, it can cause problems at the UI layer. Alternatives such as the Backend-for-Frontend pattern using GraphQL can provide better separation of concerns.

The Excel Formula Language Is Now Turing-Complete
The Excel team announced LAMBDA, a new feature that lets users define and name formula functions. LAMBDA functions admit parameters, can call other LAMBDA functions and recursively call themselves. With LAMBDA, the Excel formula language is Turing-complete: user-defined functions can thus compute anything without resorting to imperative languages (e.g., VBA, JavaScript).

Benefits of Loosely Coupled Deep Learning Serving
As deep networks are becoming more specialized and resource-hungry, serving such networks on acceleration hardware in tight-budget environments is also becoming difficult. Instead of using API frameworks, loosely coupled components can be preferred as an alternative. They bring high controllability, easy adaptability, transparent observability, and cost-effectiveness when serving deep networks.

Building Reliable Software Systems with Chaos Engineering
Advances in large-scale, distributed software systems are changing the game for software engineering. As an industry, we are quick to adopt practices that improve flexibility and improve feature velocity. If we can move quickly, can we do so without breaking things? Chaos Engineering practices can be used to navigate complexity and build more reliable systems.

Microsoft's Low-Code Strategy Paints a Target on UIPath and the Other RPA Companies
Microsoft is investing big in the low code space and has put together a collection of products that is hard for other companies to match, capped recently by the announcement of PowerFX. The target in their sights is the Robotic Process Automation (RPA) companies such as UIPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism who are closing big deals with big enterprises.
