Agile presentation
Agile presentationinfolock Agile development is both a philosophy and methodology for building products in an iterative and incremental way. It involves short development cycles called sprints where self-organizing cross-functional teams focus on continuously delivering working software. Daily stand-up meetings help ensure transparency and coordination across the team. While agile aims to be flexible and lightweight, some key practices like planning, pair programming, and tracking progress help teams stay aligned and deliver value continuously.
Top 10 Agile Metrics
Top 10 Agile MetricsXBOSoft XBOSoft runs through the Top 10 Agile Metrics revealing the most fundamental data points Agile methodology requires to work effectively, and will put you on the highly targeted path to successful implementation of your Agile processes.
XBOSoft and Go2Group run through the top data points you should be measuring in your Agile Workflow. We’ll show you what to track, when and how often, and most importantly – why. Many believe that metrics are useless, but unless you measure, how can you systematically improve or know how you are doing? And with velocity as an overarching objective in agile, you should be tracking other things so that you know what else you could be impacting by going faster. But, with all the metrics so readily available to us today, how do we filter through to the most meaningful?

Extracting deliverables from DITA
Extracting deliverables from DITAScriptorium Publishing This document discusses options for extracting deliverables from DITA content, including HTML and PDF output. For HTML, the DITA Open Toolkit is recommended due to its support for automation and customization with CSS or XSL. PDF output is more challenging to automate due to the complexity of page layouts. The DITA Open Toolkit can generate PDF but requires significant customization of XSL formatting objects. Alternatives like FrameMaker or InDesign offer more control over pagination but involve less automation. The best approach depends on an organization's priorities around typography, automation, and existing tools or templates.

The Bottom Line: Globalization and the Dependence on Intelligent Content
The Bottom Line: Globalization and the Dependence on Intelligent ContentScriptorium Publishing What is intelligent content's role in global markets? How does the content lifecycle affect business results? Though we are often concerned with cost of translation when developing content for global markets, traditional cost reduction practices (translation memory, reduced rates) simply aren't enough.

TrustArc Webinar: Consumer Expectations vs Corporate Realities on Data Broker...TrustArc Most consumers believe they’re making informed decisions about their personal data—adjusting privacy settings, blocking trackers, and opting out where they can. However, our new research reveals that while awareness is high, taking meaningful action is still lacking. On the corporate side, many organizations report strong policies for managing third-party data and consumer consent yet fall short when it comes to consistency, accountability and transparency.
This session will explore the research findings from TrustArc’s Privacy Pulse Survey, examining consumer attitudes toward personal data collection and practical suggestions for corporate practices around purchasing third-party data.
Attendees will learn:
- Consumer awareness around data brokers and what consumers are doing to limit data collection
- How businesses assess third-party vendors and their consent management operations
- Where business preparedness needs improvement
- What these trends mean for the future of privacy governance and public trust
This discussion is essential for privacy, risk, and compliance professionals who want to ground their strategies in current data and prepare for what’s next in the privacy landscape.
