This is a key one. I'm continuously disappointed in the Navy's ability to field DevSecOps capability on par with the other services, let alone on par with industry. The Navy is still in discussions about which DevSecOps tech stack is the correct one. It's not about the technology... it's about the process. Use the process to deliver the technology. The DevSecOps tech stack should be continually updated via the same agile DevSecOps process that delivers software. Continuous Authority to Operate -cATO. Currently, each SYSCOM has their own process to approve software with their own offices. Why do I need separate Air, Surface, Subsurface, Information Operations, Health, etc approvals when we are all working off of baseline NIST standards which are known and in place and operating everywhere? cATO isn't hard, it's just not invented here. Unified cloud provisioning of SaaS services. This is a contract problem. The Navy is renegotiating SaaS contracts with the same companies over and over again. Air Force has Cloud One that does the contract and provisioning work across the Air Force. Steal that. In fact, beg, borrow, steal everything that is working in the other services. This isn't a bespoke thing that needs to be highly customized for Navy use. It's a pretty basic problem that has been solved in DoD for nearly a decade. I talk to companies that have commercial contracts that are delivering secure software via DevSecOps at scale that have to decrement their abilities to deliver because they are mandated to use 2000's era software practices by the Navy. It's madness. Push your software developers and designers out to the edge. There should be an Operational Software Development Team at each Fleet pushing software into a common operational baseline via a common CI/CD process with cATO across classification domains. Implement agile software contracting, where the contract officer and PM are embedded in the backlog planning meetings and approves the sprint backlog vs manages a Gantt flow down. Sustained DevSecOps work delivers capability milestones. Capability milestones do not deliver sustained DevSecOps work. Yes, this is a great opportunity. The Navy needs to shape itself around this PM and change its processes and culture for this to be successful. This works if the PM is enabled to change the structure and policies of the Navy. May the odds be ever in your favor.

In the new brave world of hot desking very little thought is given to where employees sit beyond being with their immediate teams. However, where an employee sits can significantly impact their productivity. According to research conducted in 2016 by Housman and Minor sitting near a high-performer can boost an employees performance by 15%, adding an estimated $1 million in annual profits. Conversely, sitting near an underperformer can decrease an employees productivity by 30%. If you've got two poor performers camped together, think about moving them ASAP and further starting to manage their performance before it starts affecting your team members and ultimately your business. As employees start returning to the office —it's time to consider optimizing spatial management to foster positive spillover and save the bottom line. Strategic seating could be your secret weapon for success!

Lean Community: The first Wednesday of every month is #ICelebrateYou day to honor someone who has impacted your personal or professional life. Since we are in between Memorial Day and Father's Day, I decided to dedicate this post to my Father - Martin William Brueggemann, MD who passed away from a three year battle with leukemia in 2017 most likely due to ionizing radiation exposure during his military service. He proudly served our country as a member of the US Army's medical Battalion during the Vietnam War. Afterwards, he taught and conducted research while at The University of Cincinnati and practiced pulmonary medicine for 32 years at The Christ Hospital. He taught me the importance of Interpersonal Connection - the human side buried within scientific thinking. The excerpt and brief video best capture the essence of his stories about his patients and have shaped me as a person. WHEN BREATH BECOMES AIR by Paul Kalanithi "Yet the paradox is that scientific methodology is the product of human hands and thus cannot reach some permanent truth. We build scientific theories to organize and manipulate the world, to reduce phenomena into manageable units. Science is based on reproducibility and manufactured objectivity. As strong as that makes its ability to generate claims about matter and energy, it also makes scientific knowledge inapplicable to the existential, visceral nature of human life, which is unique and subjective and unpredictable. Science may provide the most useful way to organize empirical, reproducible data, but its power to do so is predicated on its inability to grasp the most central aspects of human life: hope, fear, love, hate, beauty, envy, honor, weakness, striving, suffering, virtue." THE HUMAN CONNECTION IN HEALTHCARE https://lnkd.in/gde_h6uA Thank you, Dad. #ICelebrateYou

Today, I read a post by Amy Miller, and shared an incredible story of personal growth and professional development. Keep reading to find out about it. In this hero origin story, Amy shared how she experienced personal growth by choosing not to comment on a post someone made on a topic that they have no level of expertise in. Instead of engaging, she chose to go pet puppies. This is the adult thing to do. 👏 I haven't reached Amy's level of adulthood yet. So this is my plea. Writing soliloquies on LinkedIn professing about how terrible recruiting processes are, how the ATS is killing your shot at a job, fake job posts, the hidden job market, etc., I want you think of the trees that you are harming. Recruiters are friends, not food. There are countless absolute GOAT recruiters out here posting relevant and knowledgeable content for FREE. Please follow them, not someone who applied to a job once and now says they're a job coach or ATS wizard. #recruiterlife #oxygen #tedtalk
