Agile at Salesforce From theory to practice, how to be agile at scale
Agile at Salesforce From theory to practice, how to be agile at scaleSalesforce Engineering Talk given by Pitch Chevalier, Director of SW Engineering, Search, at Salesforce, at Agile Grenoble 2015.
The story of Agile at Salesforce started in 2006 when the engineering teams were facing several blockers, delays and quality issues. The adoption of an agile methodology inspired by scrum, common to all teams, backed by senior management, lead to having shorter and predictable development cycles with three releases per year, deployed to all customers. The approach had a big focus on initiative and autonomy giving teams all latitude. It was key to the adoption and the agile transformation.
In order to support this new organization based on a large number of small teams, working independently, distributed across sites and different locations, a set of common agile tools was being deployed allowing teams to manage their projects, their delivery artifacts and more important to collaborate seamlessly.
This talk starts with a high-level description of the ADM (Agile Development Methodology), lessons learned and issues to overcome. It might even point to new issues that remain to be addressed. The second part of the presentation showcases the Salesforce Agile Accelerator, that can also be used by our customers.

Agile in Action - Agile Overview for Developers
Agile in Action - Agile Overview for DevelopersMatt Cowell Excerpt from a presentation I gave to the University of Alabama Association for Computing Machinery in November 2010. I wanted to give the students a practical overview of Agile and Scrum and give them some perspective on what Agile means for developers.
Measure what matters for your agile project
Measure what matters for your agile projectMunish Malik While working with Agile projects, we simply can't get away from tracking and showcasing the progress of the project. A typical Agile project would be working with estimates, story points, velocities, burn-up or burn-down charts.
I have witnessed numerous sprint reviews and showcases where the business is only waiting to see those few slides of the presentation where there is the "actual" red worm, running against the "planned" green worm, trying to catch-up. If the red worm is ahead, I have seen a smile on the faces of the stakeholders. If it matches the green one, there is a sigh of relief. And as a development team you should just pray that the poor red guy is not falling behind the green one, lest it might lead to a lot of questions starting with why, how, what etc.
There have also been times where there have been some unfortunate heated discussions that last forever on why did the team end up not claiming a few points that they had committed. What gets lost is what the team accomplished in the sprint that adds good value to the product. There have also been times where the estimates are being questioned by the product owner or account managers. If you are working in a distributed setup where the product owner is working out of a different country, the problem is even bigger.
Let us think about a scenario where the project gets completed on time, budget and scope. Majority (or all) of estimates were correct. However, when the product went live to the market it failed big time. What is the use of building such a product?
Are we focusing too much on numbers and points and overlooking the other important aspects of Agile software development such as producing software that delights the customers and looking for ways on how we can measure that? Are we measuring if we are creating a solid, robust and a scalable platform that is ready for future developments and enhancements? Are we measuring the outcomes of the time we are spending in the shoes of the people who will actually use the software?
The objective of this presentation is to promote the thinking of measuring what matters for your project. To measure the goals that your software development wants to achieve. I don't plan to showcase an exhaustive list of measurements that can solve all your problems, however, I instead want to highlight some samples that I have used in my projects with the help of my team, that helped us to measure things that add value to the business and development v/S simply creating burn down charts.
Majorly, I want to encourage thinking out of the box to identify what measurements will really matter for your projects. Perhaps from the eyes of the users and business and see what things if measured will add a lot more value than simply estimates, and will help in creating a valuable product that will truly delight the business and the users of the product.
Agile adoption survival guide - working with culture
Agile adoption survival guide - working with cultureMichael Sahota This document discusses strategies for adopting agile practices in organizations with unsupportive cultures. It recommends incremental adoption by focusing on areas of pain and specific practices that address them, rather than trying to implement scrum or adopt the agile manifesto fully. Leaders need to live the agile values through transparency and understanding the existing culture. Developing a transformational leadership team aligned around a shared vision is also important. Transforming culture requires hard conversations and actions from leaders to change the world of work. Resources are provided on agile culture and transformation.
Agile earned value exercise
Agile earned value exerciseJohn Goodpasture The document describes how to interpret an Agile burn-down chart as a tool for earned value management. It provides examples of setting up baseline burn-down charts for a project with 3 backlog items totaling 120 hours. A series of exercises demonstrates updating the burn-down charts as items are completed, including adding a new 4th item. The appendix summarizes that the project completed 4 items totaling 160 planned hours using 140 actual hours, resulting in an efficiency of 114%.

Silwood Webinar: Comparing data models for different instances of CRM and ERP...
Silwood Webinar: Comparing data models for different instances of CRM and ERP...Roland Bullivant The need to find the differences and variances in the data models of different instances of packaged ERP and CRM is often overlooked in a project - until it becomes necessary.
This is important in many data intensive initiatives where an organisation has multiple instances of an application or is involved in an upgrade, merge or migration event. In situations where development or customisation work is being performed under Agile Sprint conditions the need to identify and manage iterations of the data model is critical.
For many smaller systems with easily accessible and understood data models this is a relatively straightforward process. For packages from SAP, Oracle, Salesforce and Microsoft however it is much more difficult and requires a specialist tool to enable comparison to be done quickly, accurately and easily.
Safyr provides those abilities and more for the world's most complex packages applications. This webinar explores the need for comparison across a range of projects and illustrates how Safyr can make light of a difficult and time consuming task.

How Automation Can Improve Data Integrity and the Productivity of Data Stewards
How Automation Can Improve Data Integrity and the Productivity of Data StewardsPrecisely Data-driven enterprises continue to invest heavily in data management technology. But how do these investments benefit the people responsible for data accuracy and use. Data stewards charged with building accurate bills of material for manufacturing, rolling up annual financial data from diverse ERP systems, and curating product and pricing data for new product launches or seasonal go-to-market campaigns still rely heavily on spreadsheets to manipulate the data needed for these initiatives.
Taking data from various business applications and databases, populating spreadsheets, manipulating those spreadsheets to structure the data that's needed, then repopulating the original business applications introduces many opportunities for error. A simple solution is to automate the extraction, manipulation and repopulation of data using tools that also validate data before it's committed for use.
Fortunately, a new approach to self-service data integrity automation has emerged. Please join Carl Lehmann, Senior Research Analyst at 451 Research | S&P Global Market Intelligence, Andrew Hayden, Senior Product Marketing Manager, and Charles Howard, Senior Product Manager from Precisely who will discuss:
What's driving the need for enterprises to become more data-drivenThe challenges associated with data manipulation and integrity managementHow to automate data curation, validation, integrity, and integration
Attendees will learn the industry trends and technology needed to improve the productivity and value of data stewards, and how automation can simplify and speed the manipulation and integrity of complex data sets.

Using Safyr to navigate and analyse SAP data model demonstration screen shots
Using Safyr to navigate and analyse SAP data model demonstration screen shotsRoland Bullivant These are screenshots captured during a live demonstration of Safyr for SAP.
The session illustrates the speed and ease with which a data analyst or architect can locate and use the tables and related tables which are required for a data or information management project.
Safyr does not require that the user has an in-depth knowledge of the target package - in this case SAP.
Safyr helps to save time, cost and resource involved in the source data analysis, data preparation and discovery phases of ETL, Data Migration, Master Data, Enterprise Metadata Management, Application rationalisation and other projects.
It also performs a valuable role in Data Governance (eg GDPR) where it aids those trying to locate Personal Data across large, complex, customised ERP and CRM packages whose data models are hidden from view.
The Business Value of Metadata for Data Governance
The Business Value of Metadata for Data GovernanceRoland Bullivant In today’s digital economy, data drives the core processes that deliver profitability and growth - from marketing, to finance, to sales, supply chain, and more. It is also likely that for many large organizations much of their key data is retained in application packages from SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce and others. In order to ensure that their foundational data infrastructure runs smoothly, most organizations have adopted a data governance initiative. These typically focus on the people and processes around managing data and information. Without an actionable link to the physical systems that run key business processes, however, governance programs can often lack the ‘teeth’ to effectively implement business change.
Metadata management is a process that can link business processes and drivers with the technical applications that support them. This makes data governance actionable and relevant in today’s fast-paced and results-driven business environment. One of the challenges facing data governance teams however, is the variety in format, accessibility and complexity of metadata across the organization’s systems.
Where's the data
Where's the dataRoland Bullivant Trying to answer the question “Where’s the data?” in the context of Information Management projects which involve
packaged applications can be frustrating and time-consuming.
This white paper offers insight into why the traditional methods are not effective and an alternative software based approach to solving the problem.

"Where's the data?" The role of metadata in enabling the transformation to a ...Roland Bullivant This document discusses how metadata is crucial for enabling data-driven business transformations but can be difficult to find, especially for packaged application data. It presents two case studies where the Safyr tool helped companies overcome metadata challenges during SAP implementations at Hydro Tasmania and Boeing Commercial Aircraft. It allowed both companies to gain a faster understanding of their data models, improve communication, and accelerate their projects. The document argues that Safyr is uniquely suited for automated metadata extraction and can significantly reduce the time and costs associated with data discovery.
Using Safyr to find SAP data models
Using Safyr to find SAP data modelsRoland Bullivant As anyone who has ever had need to understand the data model which underpins SAP or SAP BW to assist in a project will tell you... it is often a difficult, time consuming and costly exercise and not easy to ensure accuracy. In this webinar we explore the problem, discuss how Boeing, RS Components and Hydro Tasmania have used Safyr from Silwood Technology to meet this challenge and at the same time reduce the time, cost and risk associated with it.
Using Safyr for SAP in an Oil and Gas company
Using Safyr for SAP in an Oil and Gas companyRoland Bullivant When the IT department of a large US oil and gas company was tasked with improving the way in which vast amounts of data were analysed, manipulated and disseminated, it investigated a number of tools that would enable users to explore, document and visualise data structures for its large SAP(r) enterprise application, before deciding to implement Safyr.

(Ethical) Alternatives to Piracy: A Quick Guide to Free and Open Source Softw...
(Ethical) Alternatives to Piracy: A Quick Guide to Free and Open Source Softw...s-m-quadri This presentation, titled "Ethical Alternatives to Piracy", originates from a scholarly effort at Deogiri Institute of Engineering and Management Studies. It addresses the urgent ethical, legal, and cybersecurity challenges posed by the widespread use of pirated software. Piracy is defined as the unauthorized use of paid digital content, and it is a practice fraught with risks—ranging from legal consequences and data breaches to malware infections, software crashes, and absence of support or updates. Alarming statistics indicate that 91% of users in India engage in piracy, a number that has surged due to increased digital dependence in the post-pandemic era.
The presentation transitions from critique to constructive solution by introducing reliable, free, and ethical alternatives via Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) and free operating systems. Emphasizing India's moral and cultural ethos, the speaker argues for a shift from piracy to integrity-driven digital usage, especially among engineering professionals. Two robust Linux-based alternatives to Windows are discussed: Ubuntu Studio, aimed at creatives with its XFCE desktop and Long Term Support (LTS) stability; and Pop!_OS, designed for STEM users, offering a GNOME desktop that balances performance with usability.
A broad selection of FOSS tools is explored as viable substitutes for expensive proprietary software. These include Blender (3D animation; alternative to Maya), Natron (compositing; alternative to After Effects), DaVinci Resolve (professional-grade editing), Kdenlive (video editing), VLC (media playback and conversion), OBS Studio (screen recording and streaming), and Audacity or Ardour (audio editing and mixing). Visual design needs are met by Inkscape and GIMP, serving as counterparts to Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, respectively. Productivity is addressed through LibreOffice as an alternative to Microsoft Office, and tools like VS Code, Android Studio, VirtualBox, Synaptic, and Stacer round out the system management and development environment options.
The central argument is not to vilify proprietary software, but to discourage unethical use through piracy. FOSS alternatives offer a legitimate, secure, and often equally powerful path for students, professionals, and institutions. The presentation concludes by encouraging a transition to open-source ecosystems—not just as a technical decision, but as a step toward ethical, sustainable, and secure digital practice. It is a call to adopt responsible engineering values and become part of the global open-source movement.
