Innovate Faster! 6 Steps to Daily Software Releases
Innovate Faster! 6 Steps to Daily Software ReleasesVictoria Livschitz Presented at NRF Big Show, the main technology in retail conference of the year, on January 13, 2015 in NYC. A discussion of challenges faced by big enterprises, particularly retailers, on their quest to become more agile, and what to do to enable agility through devops principles and pervasive automation in technology operations. It is the adaptation of the talk I gave at the CloudExpo 2 months earlier.
SBQS - SOFTWARE CRAFTSMANSHIP
SBQS - SOFTWARE CRAFTSMANSHIPPercival Lucena This document discusses applying software craftsmanship practices to a Scrum project. It presents software craftsmanship principles like clean code, test-driven development, and code reviews. It proposes a guideline to implement these principles in each phase of a Scrum project. The document also describes a case study where this guideline was applied to a mobile ecommerce app developed by a distributed Scrum team over 12 sprints. Technical metrics like deleted lines were used to measure reductions in technical debt from using craftsmanship practices in conjunction with Scrum. The conclusion is that Scrum benefits from these additional practices to improve quality.
Principles of Modern Application Architecture
Principles of Modern Application ArchitectureRajesh RV The document outlines 5 principles of modern application architecture. The first principle is to develop an adaptive architecture that can easily replace parts to reduce replacement costs rather than building for 10 years of robust support. The second is to develop a system of records that acts as a platform for business innovation rather than focusing innovation only at the business level. The third is to develop a functional core focused on key responsibilities and leave non-functional aspects like performance to cloud providers. The fourth is to make technology changes irrelevant to overall success rather than using only proven technologies. The fifth is to design systems that fail and recover fast rather than attempting to design systems that never fail.
semiconductor win
semiconductor winDoug McDowell Intel relies on GE's Proficy Cimplicity software to precisely monitor and control their manufacturing facilities worldwide. GE software sales to Intel have exceeded $2 million in 2013, with half of that for replacing legacy Rockwell software at Intel's global assembly/test facilities. A new evaluation of GE Energy's Envisage energy management software could threaten Schneider Electric's existing solution at Intel, driving further Cimplicity sales. Next week, GE and Intel will meet to discuss cybersecurity and mobile applications collaboration. Intel also procured GE services to support a change management pilot to replace outdated source control software and allow version control of additional equipment brands.

It covers various financial metrics used to evaluate projects including net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), payback period, and modeling project returns and costs. An example of evaluating a proposed new feature for a web-based payroll system called WebPayroll is presented, with financial projections built out over 8 quarters to calculate the NPV, IRR, payback period and discounted payback period for the project. The document emphasizes the importance of estimating project costs in addition to modeling projected financial returns in order to properly evaluate and prioritize projects.
Scrum: Leading a Self-Organizing Team
Scrum: Leading a Self-Organizing TeamMike Cohn This presentation by certified Scrum trainer Mike Cohn addresses a common challenge in agile development: the new role of leaders and managers in self-organizing teams.
Incorporating Learning and Expected Cost of Change
Incorporating Learning and Expected Cost of ChangeMike Cohn This document presents three guidelines for prioritizing features on agile projects:
1. Defer features with high expected costs of change, which is the probability of change multiplied by the cost of change. Features likely or costly to change should be delayed.
2. Prioritize features that generate useful knowledge, such as knowledge about a feature's desirability, usability, or technical feasibility.
3. Incorporate new learning often to decide what to do next, either implementing a feature now or reevaluating it later. Priorities should be reassessed each iteration to acknowledge continuous learning.
Overcoming Waterfallacies & Agilephobias
Overcoming Waterfallacies & AgilephobiasMike Cohn This document discusses transitioning to an agile development process and overcoming challenges associated with previous waterfall methods. It provides a framework for transitioning that includes treating the transition as a project with its own backlog and iterations. Common "waterfallacies" and fears of change ("agilephobias") are addressed, such as the inability to accurately predict schedules and fixed requirements upfront. Distributed teams and integrating testing are also discussed. The transition process itself needs to be agile and adapt to challenges identified along the way.
Agile Software Development
Agile Software DevelopmentDevasis Roy Compared to traditional software engineering, agile development is mainly targeted at projects with dynamic, undeterministic and non-linear characteristics, where accurate estimates, stable plans and predictions are often hard to get in early stages, and big up-front designs and arrangements will probably cause a lot of waste, i.e. are not economically sound.
Agile software development is a group of software development methods in which requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams. It promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, continuous improvement and encourages rapid and flexible response to change. It is a conceptual framework that focuses on frequently delivering small increments of working software.
Getting Agile with Scrum
Getting Agile with ScrumMike Cohn Getting Agile with Scrum discusses Scrum, an agile framework for project management. Some key points:
- Scrum uses short "sprints" typically 2-4 weeks long where work is designed, coded, and tested simultaneously rather than sequentially passed between teams.
- Scrum roles include the Product Owner who prioritizes work, the Scrum Master who facilitates the process, and a cross-functional Team.
- Ceremonies like daily stand-ups, sprint planning and reviews, and retrospectives help manage the work and process.
- Burndown charts track work completion. Scaling can involve multiple Scrum teams working on the same product managed through communities of practice.
Agile explained
Agile explainedLuis Fabiano Figaro, CAPM, COBIT, ITIL The document discusses problems with traditional software development approaches and how agile software development aims to address these problems. Specifically, it notes that traditional phased development often results in unclear requirements, requirements that change and become more expensive to change, projects that take too long, lack of testing, and wasted time on unused functionality. Agile development breaks projects into shorter iterations to allow for inspection and adaptation, improving visibility, catching failures earlier, and focusing on only the most valuable functionality.
Advanced Agile Planning - NDC 2014
Advanced Agile Planning - NDC 2014Mike Cohn Velocity is perhaps the most useful metric available to agile teams. In this session we will look at advanced uses of velocity for planning under special but common circumstances. We will see how to forecast velocity in the complete absence of any historical data. We will look at how a new team can forecast velocity by looking at other teams. We will see how to predict the velocity of a team that will grow or shrink in size. Most importantly we will look at the use of confidence intervals to create plans we can be 90% confident in, even on fixed-price or fixed-date contracts.
Planning and Tracking Agile Projects
Planning and Tracking Agile ProjectsMike Cohn This document discusses planning and tracking agile projects. It begins by introducing Mike Cohn and his background. It then provides examples for estimating tasks using story points and planning poker. It discusses relating different planning levels from portfolio down to daily tasks. Release planning and using velocity and a prioritized backlog to estimate delivery dates is covered. Finally, it discusses using burndown charts to track progress at both the iteration and release levels.
Agile Estimating - NDC 2014
Agile Estimating - NDC 2014Mike Cohn The first step in creating a useful plan is the ability to estimate reliably. In this session we will discuss how to do this. We will look at various approaches to estimating including unit-less points and ideal time. The class will present four specific techniques for deriving reliable estimates, including how to use the popular Planning Poker® technique and other techniques that dramatically improve a project's chances of on-time completion.
Agile for Customer Delight
Agile for Customer DelightAgile Tour Beirut The document discusses principles for being agile and delighting customers. It suggests companies should be ready for the unpredictable like Oreo, adapt and innovate like Fujifilm, frequently deliver products like Zara, and care about customers like Zappos. It also emphasizes focusing on people and culture like Zappos. To create an agile culture, the document recommends establishing autonomous teams that iteratively deliver frequently, getting customer feedback to continuously improve processes and letting this new way of working spread throughout the company.

Introduction to Agile, by J.D. MeierJ.D. Meier A brief and visual introduction to the Agile.
Learn the Agile mindset and the big 3 (Extreme Programming, Scrum, and Kanban). Be able to whiteboard a simple view of how each one works to get things done and make things happen.
User Stories 
User Stories Mike Cohn The technique of expressing requirements as user stories is one of the most broadly applicable techniques introduced by the agile processes. User stories are an effective approach on all time constrained projects and are a great way to begin introducing a bit of agility to your projects.
In this session, we will look at how to identify and write good user stories. The class will describe the six attributes that good stories should exhibit and present thirteen guidelines for writing better stories. We will explore how user role modeling can help when gathering a project’s initial stories.
Because requirements touch all job functions on a development project, this tutorial will be equally suited for analysts, customers, testers, programmers, managers, or anyone involved in a software development project. By the end of this tutorial, you will leave knowing the six attributes of a good story, learn a good format for writing most user stories, learn practical techniques for gathering user stories, know how much work to do up-front and how much to do just-in-time.
Scaling Agile and Working with a Distributed Team
Scaling Agile and Working with a Distributed TeamMike Cohn Mike Cohn presented on scaling agile with distributed teams. Some key challenges in scaling agile include managing dependencies between teams, coordinating large iteration planning meetings, and coordinating multiple teams. To address these challenges, Cohn recommends proactively managing dependencies, using rolling lookahead planning, scaling up iteration planning meetings by staggering them over multiple days or using a "big room" approach, and establishing communities of practice to facilitate collaboration. When teams are distributed across locations, it is important to decide how work will be distributed, create coherence among team members, and change communication approaches, such as adding documentation, encouraging lateral communication, and addressing time zone differences.

Agile planning and project management
Agile planning and project managementMike Cohn The document discusses an agenda for agile planning and project management. It covers iterative and incremental development, user stories, estimating effort for stories, and planning iterations. The presentation introduces user stories and templates, discusses adding details as sub-stories or conditions of satisfaction. It also covers estimating story points using planning poker and velocity to calculate how many story points a team can deliver in future iterations.
Scaling Agile and Working with a Distributed Team
Scaling Agile and Working with a Distributed TeamMike Cohn The early agile literature was adamant about two things: stick with small teams and put everyone in one room. However, in the years since the Agile Manifesto, the increasing popularity of agile and the dramatic improvements it brings has pushed it onto larger and larger projects. Additionally, having an entire team--especially on a large project--in one room, or even one building is a luxury no longer enjoyed by many projects.
In this presentation, we will look at how agile can be scaled to work on any multi-team project. Even a project with two teams will benefit from learning how to proactively manage interteam dependencies, conduct iteration planning for multiple teams, cultivate communities of practice, and coordinating work. Because so many projects are spread across multiple sites we will also look at overcoming the unique challenges facing distributed teams. We will look at deciding how to distribute a team, how to create coherence among team members, the importance of getting together and when are the most important times to use the travel budget, changes to what the team documents, and how to handle meetings when spread across timezones. Whether your project is spread across two locations in the same city or spread around the globe, you will leave with practical advice to try tomorrow.

Platform Requirements for CI/CD Success—and the Enterprises Leading the Way
Platform Requirements for CI/CD Success—and the Enterprises Leading the WayVMware Tanzu All enterprises want to increase the speed of software delivery to get new products to market faster. The means for achieving this is often through the practice of continuous integration/continuous delivery. But speed alone isn’t enough—teams also require the ability to pivot when conditions change. They must ensure their software is stable and reliable, and be able to roll out patches and other security measures quickly and at scale.
A cloud-native platform coupled with test-driven development and CI/CD practices can help make this a reality. In this webinar, 451 Research’s Jay Lyman presents the results of his research into cloud-native platform requirements for enterprise CI/CD and DevOps success. Pivotal’s James Ma joins Lyman to discuss best practices from DevOps teams charged with running and managing cloud-native platforms, including applying CI/CD to the platform itself.

April 08
April 08davidwebb00 The document discusses challenges with traditional waterfall software development approaches and how agile development methods address some of these challenges. It notes that waterfall projects often fail to meet schedules, budgets and user needs due to changing requirements. Agile methods use iterative development, prioritize working software over documentation, and emphasize collaboration between developers and customers.
Test Automation Trends and Beyond
Test Automation Trends and BeyondKnoldus Inc. Now-a-days the world of testing has shifted towards a Continuous Testing model. With increasing digital transformation, Agile & DevOps principles, the need to scale up quality initiatives becomes inevitable. Moreover, with increasing complexity and continuous integration cycles, the frequency of tests to release apps in a shorter time frame with continuous testing becomes the need of the hour to match the speed of Agile & DevOps.
Fast feedback loops and immediate responses allow businesses to adapt to changes in the market quicker than ever before. This is made possible with automation and continuous testing. But how do you achieve continuous testing?
In this, our specialist Sushma Nayak will discuss the present-day best practices in test automation at Knoldus and will examine the key testing trends that focus on the adoption of Continuous Delivery and the evolution of test automation in the coming year.

Dancing With The Agile Goddess Agile 2008
Dancing With The Agile Goddess Agile 2008Israel Gat This document summarizes an agenda for a presentation on agile methodologies. The presentation discusses agile success at BMC Software through the implementation of Scrum teams. It analyzes data comparing BMC's projects to industry trends, finding BMC achieved faster development times and higher productivity while maintaining quality. The presentation then discusses challenges of applying agile practices across an entire enterprise and proposes a three-level framework to scale agile.
Architecture vs. Design vs. Agile: What’s the Answer?
Architecture vs. Design vs. Agile: What’s the Answer?TechWell Is architecture the same as preliminary design in agile? It shouldn't be. Do we do architecture up front, then do iterative development after the architecture is done? That is edging back toward waterfall. Can you explain the purpose of the architecture in just two or three statements? Anthony Crain says that when he asks that question, he gets either verbose answers or blank stares. So Anthony shares an elegantly simple two bullet explanation of what an architecture does. Explore the models architects and designers should produce and learn why the models are so important to keep separate. Understand why it is vital to separate functional from nonfunctional requirements and how this affects architecture, design, and even code and test. Explore what a conceptual architectural model should look like vs. a physical one, and for the conceptual design model vs. a physical one—and the timing of all four models. Finally, explore the impact of iterative development on architecture.

Reinventing Organizations - Scrum Gathering Orlando
Reinventing Organizations - Scrum Gathering OrlandoMichael Sahota This document discusses reinventing organizations and moving towards more conscious and effective organizational cultures. It provides an overview of the Laloux culture model which plots organizational cultures on a scale from low to high effectiveness based on factors like consciousness, trust, and structure. Activities are suggested for participants to reflect on where their own organization currently sits on this model and what aspects could be improved. The document advocates for evolving organizational cultures by growing both consciousness among people and enabling structures, rather than following any specific blueprint. It emphasizes finding one's own path to positive change through inspiration, listening, choosing directions to move in, and applying learnings in a way that fits one's situation.
Reinventing Organizations for Agility
Reinventing Organizations for AgilityMichael Sahota These slides (from Agile Toronto 2015) describe how we may dare to create environments where Agile may flourish so we have Organizational Agility.
My message is really simple:
If you want Breakthrough Results
Cultivate Culture to
Create Places People Love to Work and
Start with Yourself.
Reinventing Organizations for Enterprise Agility
Reinventing Organizations for Enterprise AgilityMichael Sahota We present an alternative view to fitting agile into larger organisations. Inspired by Fred Laloux’ book “Reinventing Organisations”, we offer a coherent and comprehensive model for organizational development which encompasses the past and guides us into the future. Agile finds its place in these concepts, and becomes a means to move between the model’s stages.
As a leader in an organization on its agile journey, you’ll notice at various pain points that increasing agility struggles with existing organizational structures, governance systems and management expectations. We’ve understood for a while that the prevalent ways of how we run organizations are not compatible with Agile. We’ve tried to package Agile in a way that makes sense to people in organizations working the classical way.
Learn what’s new and essential about this model: the idea of organizational models developing with the evolution of human consciousness, progressing in clear stages. Now being a time where a new organisational model is emerging, and what that looks like. Learn how self-management, wholeness and evolutionary purpose shape organisations where agile will flourish and which agile can help bring about.

Whole Agile - Unleashing People & Organizations 
Whole Agile - Unleashing People & Organizations Michael Sahota In order to fully unleash the potential of workers we need to augment Agile/Scrum with Valuing People and rewire Organizational Governance.
Valuing People is about building a place where the whole person is welcome. Where there is safety, trust and authentic connection.
Organizational Governance refers to the approaches we use to run organizations: organizational structure, planning & control, roles & titles, compensation, performance management, information access, leadership and power. It has been well understood that these typically impact Scrum significantly.
Scrum and Kanban - Getting the Most from Each
Scrum and Kanban - Getting the Most from EachMichael Sahota Scrum is the most popular Agile methodology with Kanban a growing second choice. Learn about the core parts of each one as well as how they differ so that you can find the best fit for your team or organizational context. For example, Scrum is great when you want to shake up the status quo and transform the way you work. Kanban is great when small changes are a better fit for the environment. Learn how they work and how you can use them in your environment.
People over Process
People over ProcessMichael Sahota We outline a fundamentally different approach for organizational change: one where valuing people is integral to building lasting success.
Agile and Lean are a means to an end. Once we are clear what our goals are and our approach is consistent with what we truly value, then we may hope for success.
When we simplify the Agile Manifesto’s “Individuals and Interactions over Processes and Tools” we get “People over Process”. Agile is about people. It’s about a people-first culture. Lean is simliar.
Sadly, many organizations are mired in organizational debt: mistrust, politics and fear. Changing the process won’t fix this. We need to go to the root of it - to find a way to talk about and shift to a healthier culture: one that values people.
The VAST (Vulnerability, Authentic Connection, Safety and Trust) model makes the dynamics of human systems visible and clarifies where we may apply leverage to foster lasting change.

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.
