Meet Small Batches

Software delivery education designed for teams. A perk for subscribers!

Software delivery is a broad topic. One person or team just can't learn it all one in go. But you can learn one day at time through consistent exposure to knowledge.

Install the Small Batches Slack app, then invite the app your team's channel. The app immediately begins posting curated material to share knowledge and build capabilities. Incremental daily kaizen.

Small Batches introduces new topics and connects the dots between what the team already knows. Posting to Slack turns the team’s gathering place into a space for continuous learning and improvement.

The Small Batches Library

Remember those "page a day calendars?" Now, imagine that for DevOps, lean, continuous delivery, and more.

The library is the synthesis of over fifty books, years of experience, and conversations with industry leaders.

Topics include introductions to lexicon terms, book summaries, the best passages from relevant books, protips, and more.

A new day, a new entry. There's over a year's worth of content and more is added each month.

Entries link to the website for those who want to learn more.

Curated Courses

The library is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get. Not with courses.

Courses are prewritten. One day, one lesson. The best of the library edited for maximum information absorption.

Images Too

Humans have a strong visual sense. Text alone is not enough. Small Batches posts images too.

A Second Brain

A few sentences is enough to introduce an idea, but not enough to go deeper. Small Batches also included a dedicated second brain on all things software delivery.
