TL; DR: Development Culture, Levels of Autonomy—Food for Agile Thought #238
Welcome to the 238th edition of the Food for Agile Thought newsletter, shared with 26,169 peers. This week, we delve into the findings of the latest Software Development Culture and Methods Report—spoiler alert: Liberating Structures are becoming something big—; we differentiate between different development levels of distributed organizations, and we learn that Zoom is safe to use despite all of the fear-mongering.
We also explore the differences between Impact Mapping and various other product frameworks; we embrace the idea that product discovery does not require a product team to be co-located, and we revisit the shift of product planning to customer-centricity.
Lastly, we applaud Dave Dame for sharing with us how he navigates the struggles of Cerebral Palsy.

Lastly, we are inspired by a set of questions true servant-leaders ask themselves every day.
