The goal is to be a lasting educational resource, not a newscast. Every 10 days, a new episode is published that covers all topics software engineering. Episodes are either tutorials on a specific topic, or an interview with a well-known character from the software engineering world. All SE Radio episodes are original content — we do not record conferences or talks given in other venues. Each episode comprises two speakers to ensure a lively listening experience. SE Radio is an independent and non-commercial organization.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/software-engineering-radio"},"episode":{"title":"SE Radio 701: Max Guernsey, III and Luniel de Beer on Readiness in Software Engineering","slug":"se-radio-701-max-guernsey-iii-and-luniel-de-beer-on-readiness-in-software-engineering","published_at":"2025-12-30T23:29:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/software-engineering-radio/se-radio-701-max-guernsey-iii-and-luniel-de-beer-on-readiness-in-software-engineering","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/software-engineering-radio","url":"https://se-radio.net/2025/12/se-radio-701-max-guernsey-iii-and-luniel-de-beeron-on-readiness-in-software-engineering/","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/seradio/701-guernsey-de-beer-readiness-software-engineering.mp3?dest-id=23379","summary":"Max Geurnsey III and Luniel de Beer, co-authors of the book Ready: Why Most Software Projects Fail and How to Fix It, discuss the concept of readiness in software engineering with host Brijesh Ammanath. Although Agile workflows and technical practices help delivery, many software efforts still struggle to achieve desired outcomes. Rework, shifting requirements, delays, defects, and mounting technical debt can plague software delivery and impede or altogether halt progress toward goals. The problem is often that implementation begins prematurely, before the team is properly set up for success. A strict system of explicit readiness work and gating, called Requirements Maturation Flow (RMF), has the potential to solve this problem in an SDLC-independent way. Teams that adopt RMF can dramatically improve progress toward real goals while reducing stress on engineering teams. In this episode, Max and Luniel deep dive into RMF and explain its foundational pillars.
