We've tried it all: Agile, Scrum, SAFe, Less, Kanban and Continuous Delivery. We've even setup Platform teams, are actively practicing TDD, apply DDD and deploy every day to production. Still we feel overwhelmed and not productive.

The above is a common thing I'm experience across companies I've worked with and spoken to during the last few years. Effectively they've done everything right and innovated well, but they missed a single aspect: how to make it easier for themselves? A typical habit for organizations is to not make software delivery easier, but bigger, more enhance and more complex.

Nope, this was never the intention of any of the techniques mentioned above... but how did we end there? This talk will not tell you what you should start doing, but rather what you should stop doing. Or like Google calls it: Shift Down. Hit the break. And decrease your load, rather than increase it with another gimmick.

The talk can be delivered as a short lightning talk or a more in-depth one. It's also possible to focus more on a managerial or engineering audience.
