Managing Team Value
summary
A PhD-style qualitative study runs 13 DevOps interviews (three rounds each), coded in envivo with participants averaging nine years’ experience, and finds teams favor speed and tool fixes over negotiated tradeoffs. Key findings: security treated as subset of functionality, management sets rigid tech constraints that block timely delivery, and teams deliver “half‑baked” increments to satisfy cadence. Recommendations are clear values alignment, precise goals but flexible methods, and continuous two‑way communication between management and teams.
