In this interview we're covering:
- Defining DevStreams
- Main ideas of the book DevStreams
- DevStream’s impact
- What type of companies benefit most from DevStreams
- Implementing DevStreams
- Common objections regarding DevStreams
Excerpt from the interview:
"After publishing the book, some VPs told me they liked the concept, but didn’t find it realistic to have streams where everyone does everything proficiently. My answer is, how do you know? Have you tried it?
When you start experimenting with the paradigm, you'll see that it’s not that far-fetched. Especially with today’s technological advancements in AI, it’s easier to pick up new skills than it was a year ago. We have so many tools available to make our work more effective, and our technology landscape is changing rapidly that it really merits a new paradigm. "

Quite disappointed with what I've heard.
Among various misrepresentations (like period-based agile somehow is forbidden from releasing during sprint; like somehow roles are set in stone; up to treating devops as a role not a culture); and bland repackaging of existing ideas (value streams, or releasing increments continuously as in continuous delivery) this whole interview screamed "ad for book/services".
