Culture eats everything for breakfast! by Vladimir Kelava
Bez obzira koliko su dobre vaše strategije za vođenje organizacije/tima, one vam neće pomoći ako je organizacijska/timska kultura loša. Procesi i prakse su važni, ali jednako važni su i vrednosti i principi. Bez njih, temelj je slab i disfunkcionalan.
Organizacije koje ovo razumiju gaje kulturu koja se temelji na jasno definiranim vrednostima koje su vodići principi kako bi se ljudi trebali ponašati i komunicirati, kako bi se trebale donositi odluke i kako bi se trebale provoditi svakodnevne aktivnosti. U takvim organizacijama vrednosti nisu samo “random” reči na plakatima koji vise u kompanijskim hodnicima…i nisu opisane u opštim i hladnim tektovima na kompanijskim portalima.
Organizacije koje ozbiljno pristupaju ovoj temi ne opisuju svoju kulturu putem linkedin, fejsbuk i instagram objava na kojima ljudi igraju stolni tensi, stolni fudbal i ispijaju pivo…uz komentar - “Pogledajte našu sjajnu kulturu”. Nemam ništa protiv zabave 😉 ali….

Decoding Success in Pharma and e-Health by Lejla Zonić
Over the past four years, I've collaborated extensively with pharmaceutical companies and engaged in various digital initiatives within the e-health sector. This experience has afforded me a deep understanding of the transformative role technology plays in the healthcare and pharma industries.
Today, clinics have hundreds of applications that streamline processes for patients, doctors, and administrative staff alike. These range from patient care to diet management, and even extend to organizational logistics, all thanks to advancements in IT. Particularly, these applications are revolutionizing areas like clinical trials and medical research, facilitating the testing of new medications and the continuous study of existing treatments. The beauty of digital applications lies in their ability to gather rich data from a broader participant base without the necessity of physical presence, which is a game-changer for patients with mobility issues.
Moreover, the rise of telemedicine and mobile health apps exemplifies how technology is not just supporting but also spearheading improvements in patient care and clinical guidelines. This evolution is paving the way for more precise, timely, and cost-effective medical research and drug development.
Historically, data collection in this field was a manual, paper-based process that required extensive travel and face-to-face interactions to meet demographic quotas and gather necessary information. Today, we have applications that integrate panel management, project tracking, and data analysis in one seamless interface, tailored to each pharmaceutical company's specific needs, and also many other sectors (like market research).
To sum up, this is about digital strategies addressing the challenges of the e-health sector and pharmaceutical industry.
Agile Experimentation in Everyday Life - A Guide to More Aha! moments by Milo...
In the realm of software development, the pursuit of accurate project estimation has been a perpetual challenge. Despite the rise of Agile methods, the specter of inaccurate estimation continues to cast a shadow over projects, leading to missed deadlines, exceeded budgets, and frustrated stakeholders.
Consider this: a groundbreaking study by the Standish Group in 1995 revealed that a staggering 31.1% of software projects were canceled before completion, with over 50% ending up costing nearly twice their initial estimates. Fast forward to the present day, and while Agile has undeniably transformed development practices, the issue of project estimation remains a thorny one.
While Agile projects boast a commendable success rate three times higher than traditional waterfall approaches, over 50% still grapple with time and cost overruns. The question then arises: why has Agile, with its iterative approach and emphasis on collaboration, not completely eradicated the problem of inaccurate estimation?
Agile introduced relative estimation, epitomized by story points, in contrast to the upfront man-day estimations of the past. However, the journey towards accurate estimation has been fraught with challenges. Despite their widespread adoption, story points have often fallen short, leading to counterintuitive outcomes. A case study within a prominent corporation revealed that stories rated lower in complexity took longer to complete than ostensibly more complex ones.
This dilemma underscores a fundamental truth: the challenge of estimation transcends estimation methods; it is deeply rooted in human nature. Our innate biases and tendencies toward optimism color our estimations, rendering them prone to error. To break free from this cycle, a paradigm shift is necessary—one that embraces a data-driven approach.
The answer: actionable agile metrics and probabilistic forecasting. By leveraging historical data, teams can move beyond guesswork toward informed decision-making. These metrics provide nuanced insights into team performance and project dynamics, empowering teams to make accurate predictions about future outcomes.
During this talk/presentation, I will share:
- the results of two studies by the Standish Group (1995, 2020)
- a case study about story points from one US corporation
- what metrics we need to gather as well as how (and why)
- some cool models and tools (through quick demos or screenshots)
In this illuminating talk, we'll demystify agile estimation, drawing from real-world examples and personal experiences. Attendees will gain practical insights into the tools and techniques that underpin effective estimation practices. By the end of the session, participants will be armed with actionable strategies and newfound knowledge to navigate the estimation challenge confidently, ensuring smoother sailing on their Agile journey.
Agile Experimentation in Everyday Life - A Guide to More Aha! moments by Milo...
When we say experiments, a classroom or a laboratory may be the first association, or possibly work (especially if you’re in tech or product). However, there’s a lot of universal value in experimentation, testing assumptions, and learning. The famous 'Inspect & Adapt' is not reserved for Scrum teams only, and it can be an important and positive approach to your life.
Agile experiments are important in our private life because they provide a framework for trying new things, learning from them, and making continuous improvements. We’re not living in a vacuum, and our realities are simply too complex for driving on ‘auto pilot’.
By setting goals, measuring results, and adapting based on regular feedback, we can make positive changes in our personal lives. On top, agile experimentation helps us overcome the fear of failure, since experiments are seen as an opportunity to learn and grow, rather than a test of our abilities (and value).
In this talk, I will share first-hand experiences, tips, and pitfalls for applying agile experimentation to our private life, fostering a growth mindset, improving problem-solving skills, and ultimately living a more interesting life.

How can Operational Value Streams Shape Your Product Strategy and Roadmap Suc...
Picture a world where every stakeholder within your organization effortlessly grasps and contributes to your Product Roadmaps. It may seem like an ideal scenario, but trust me, there are techniques available that can turn this vision into reality. Operational Value Streams provide a structured pathway for organizations to optimize their workflows, fostering collaboration and simplifying the visualization of your product roadmap.
Operational Value Streams, as delineated in the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), offer a systematic approach to understanding and enhancing workflow across the organization. They play a pivotal role in aligning business objectives with the delivery of value to customers, enabling everyone involved to see the big picture and contribute to its realization.
A notable advantage of Operational Value Streams is their ability to offer end-to-end visibility into the product development lifecycle. By mapping out every stage and activity involved in bringing a product from concept to delivery, teams gain a comprehensive understanding of value generation and delivery.
This visibility empowers stakeholders at all levels to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement within the value stream. By analyzing these insights, teams can streamline processes, minimize waste, and optimize resource allocation. This collaborative effort ensures that the Product Roadmap reflects the collective priorities of the organization and drives success.
We've witnessed the transformative power of Operational Value Streams firsthand. Whether it's for existing products or brand-new ventures, we've created operational value stream maps that have revolutionized the way organizations visualize and execute their product strategies. Embracing this approach has not only streamlined our workflows but has also fueled innovation and growth across the board. Join me on this journey toward simplified, attainable, and impactful Product Roadmaps.

Production Support - the DevOps way by Mustafa Mehmedić
The concept of DevOps has been introduced to combine teams which have been functioning completely separately. It's goal is to enable continuous improvements to deliver software at a rapid pace, to respond to market conditions and customer feedback.
Sound familiar? Where the need for these is greater than in Production support – introducing the DevOps way for handling live applications support is only the next logical step, where collaboration between teams, continuous delivery and handling customers are all key factors for success. We are going to explore what does it mean for the teams and the Company, and how it has a positive impact on the Business.
The Rationale for Continuous Delivery by Dave Farley
The production of software is a complex, collaborative process that stretches our ability as human beings to cope with its demands.
Many people working in software development spend their careers without seeing what good really looks like.
Our history is littered with inefficient processes creating poor quality output, too late to capitalise on the expected business value. How have we got into this state? How do we get past it? What does good really look like?
Continuous Delivery changes the economics of software development for some of the biggest companies in the world, whatever the nature of their software development, find out how and why.
What’s a Design Sprint and Why Does it Matter? by Elvis Pivić
We all want to believe we’re just about to reach it — our eureka moment.
That moment when light breaks, clouds part, and all those torturous months of thinking, planning, re-thinking, and re-planning finally pay off in the form of the perfect solution to our problem.
Except that day never comes. And back to countless meetings, we go.
Perspiring towards perfection has a certain romantic appeal, but ultimately it robs us of the thing we want most: progress. This lecture is designed to give perfectionists in every form — product designers, marketers, business leaders, product, and project managers their first introduction to a better method for getting things done: the Design Sprint.
During this presentation, it will be explained:
* From thinking to doing: the origin of the Design Sprint
* What is the Design Sprint?
* Why the Design Sprint is the hero you need? -
* Sprints — what are they good for? - How exactly does the Design Sprint work?
Disciplined Agile: Past, present, and future. The path to true business agil...
What is Disciplined Agile? Where did it come from? Where is it going? How can it help me?
In your organization, you are very likely using a variety of approaches to deliver solutions to your stakeholders. You might be using traditional waterfall, agile, or hybrid approaches. If you are applying agile methods or frameworks you might be using Scrum, SAFe, Lean Kanban, or “roll your own” techniques. Regardless of what methods you are using, the Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit can help you to be more effective. It is an agnostic, comprehensive library of strategies and practices, with practical advice for which ones work for in different contexts. Many organizations struggle to evolve an agile way of working (WoW) that makes sense for their unique situations. The good news is that you don't need to figure it out on your own. The DA tool kit leverages the experiences of thousands of teams who have already struggled through the very issues that our teams currently face. By referencing these strategies, you can accelerate your journey to project delivery success using a technique we call Guided Continuous Improvement (GCI).
This presentation explains the value of the Disciplined Agile tool kit and how to use it in practice with GCI across your entire organization, putting you on a path to true business agility.

Minimum Viable Psychology (MVP) for Agile Teams by Ender Yüksel
Psychology is considered a new science with most advances happenning in the last 150 years, and for comparison computer science "is" a new science that began to be established as a distinct discipline in 1950s. Having a minimum viable psychology knowledge will help you a lot especially if you are a part of an agile team that has a shared purpose and accountability.
Managing a product without authority by Ana Pegan
One of the greatest challenges that each Product Manager/Product Owner faces is managing without authority. This role is most often positioned in the company in such a way it has no authority over people, processes or resources. So how can you manage if there is no possibility to make independent decisions on topics that affect product development the most?
Product Design Possibilities in Fast-Paced Agile Environments by Vildana Lojo

It serves as inspiration for B&H IT leaders and companies on how to create new design related services and provide new areas of professional growth to their employees.
DevOps Transformation in Microsoft – Case Study by Ognjen Bajic and Ana Roje ...
Microsoft has embarked on its DevOps journey more than 8 years ago, when it started modeling a new set of engineering tools and practices called One Engineering System (1ES), fully based on their own platforms – Azure DevOps (ex Visual Studio Team Services - VSTS) and Azure. Since then, multiple product development teams have gone through a massive transition in terms of how they organize their work and deal with infrastructure, tools and processes.
This session tells the story of the transformation of 70+ teams with more than 800 people that develop Azure DevOps, both Service and Server (ex Team Foundation Server – TFS). These teams have been previously producing the monolithic 3-tier on premises TFS environment every couple of years. Nowadays, they moved to the cloud cadence and deliver daily updates to Azure DevOps Services, their global scale, always available, cloud SaaS service made up of dozens of micro-services. At the same time, they deliver the same capabilities on premises every couple of months.
Join us to learn how Microsoft’s teams transitioned from an inert waterfall to a highly performing agile organization, whereby drastically changing the way how they develop, test, deploy and monitor their products. We will explain how they manage large agile distributed product development, how they improved their development process by switching to GIT, how they changed their approach to testing and quality control and managed to take full control over their technical debt.
Agile Business Process Digitization by Nedzad Junuzovic
Your company has decided to move towards digital transformation and in this regard they have decided to digitize the key business process by applying some of the software solutions such as Enterprise Resource System, Document Management System, Customer Relationship Management System etc. You have been tasked with digitizing a business process in a highly functional company that not only is quite far from business agility but also the realization of any project due to its pronounced ,,silo“ structure is a great challenge.
Are projects like this doomed to failure? What are the basic prerequisites that must be provided for a project to succeed? Should you choose an agile approach in this case? Do you differentiate between software and business solutions? To what level is it necessary to analyze the existing business process before carrying out activities to implement a new one? How to apply an agile approach in this case?
All these are just some of the interesting questions and dilemmas from the point of view of digital transformation that we will discuss and present an agile approach to successful digitization of the business process.
Transforming Scrum Masters: The Journey from joining a Transformation to tran...
Ideally, Scrum Masters are lifelong learners that set the example for their organizations. Unfortunately, many organizations have created an environment where learning is limited to a few classroom sessions per year (all within a strict budget). These organizations are trying to ‘use agile’, and suddenly, there are Scrum Masters in these organizations.
These Scrum Masters work within a constrained environment:
- they are made responsible for the team’s delivery
- are not allowed to leverage wall space
- work 40+ hours per week
- slack time (and playing, creativity) is perceived as non-working
- any time problems arise, the organization threatens to fall back into old micro-management patterns
Based on recent experiences with such Scrum Masters, let’s help people in this situation to move forward after their first Scrum Master training. Then, they can truly transform their own organizations.

This visibility empowers stakeholders at all levels to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement within the value stream. By analyzing these insights, teams can streamline processes, minimize waste, and optimize resource allocation. This collaborative effort ensures that the Product Roadmap reflects the collective priorities of the organization and drives success.
We've witnessed the transformative power of Operational Value Streams firsthand. Whether it's for existing products or brand-new ventures, we've created operational value stream maps that have revolutionized the way organizations visualize and execute their product strategies. Embracing this approach has not only streamlined our workflows but has also fueled innovation and growth across the board. Join me on this journey toward simplified, attainable, and impactful Product Roadmaps.
Agile is not just for software development, it’s for the whole business! by O...
In this session, Olta will discuss how Agile is influencing company culture, human resources, customers, finance, marketing, and the company as a whole. The use of traditional approaches in other departments and the agile approaches in software development departments are bringing so much noise into the environment rather than a successful agile transformation.
Supercharge your teams with Value Stream Management by Richard Knaster
This presentation is on how to supercharge your teams! Value Stream Management (VSM) is a set of lean principles and practices that optimizes people, processes, and technology to continuously improve business value flow, from ideation to customer delivery.
Companies that implement Value Stream Management have seen extraordinary business improvement in car manufacturing, software, financial, and medical industries. Studies show

Data Visualization Techniques in Meteorological and Climatological World usin...
1. How to visualize .nc data in R using RNCEP library
Exempli Gratia: Mean Precipitation and Temperature Regime Map for European Countries in 2019 (w/o rasterizing)
Technical part: this part will briefly explain the importance of proper data visualization of meteorological/climatological data, especially in NWP (numerical weather prediction). The brief, comprehensive hierarchy of .nc data will be enlisted within the presentation and clarified for the audience. As an alternative, GRIB2 type will be also mentioned.
Practical part: once the technical part is clear, the programmable code will be briefly shown to audience on how to visualize the precipitation and temperature map. This will be achieved using variety of libraries and corresponding methods under CRAN repository, such as sf, lubridate, tidyverse and the most pivotal - RNCEP.
2. Our own developed NWP (numerical weather prediction) model: NOTHAS
NWP Logic: the algorithmic approach behind NOTHAS will be briefly explained as part of visualizing and parametrizing the .nc and GRIB2 data within the integrated WRF domain inside the Southeastern Europe Domain using ICON-EU, GFS, ECMWF and/or ICON-EU model data as initial parameters. The algorithm itself will be shown and onwards briefly explained for parameterized data to the audience. Final result will include the results of visualized parameters for specific scenarios.
3. Why Stripes?
Logic: a simple, yet effective way of showing the importance of global/local temperature rise caused by effects of climate change. Three colors and bunch of stripes inside one simple piece of R code will be demonstrated on the example of our country.
4. OpenGrADS
Technical part: as a software tool that has been widely used in the meteorological circles, we will briefly explain the logic behind OpenGrADS.
Exempla Gratia: show both results: the existing visual, and code our visual for 500 hPa altitude pressure anomaly using CFS data.

Production Support - the DevOps way by Mustafa Mehmedić
The concept of DevOps has been introduced to combine teams which have been functioning completely separately. It's goal is to enable continuous improvements to deliver software at a rapid pace, to respond to market conditions and customer feedback.
Sound familiar? Where the need for these is greater than in Production support – introducing the DevOps way for handling live applications support is only the next logical step, where collaboration between teams, continuous delivery and handling customers are all key factors for success. We are going to explore what does it mean for the teams and the Company, and how it has a positive impact on the Business.
The Rationale for Continuous Delivery by Dave Farley
The production of software is a complex, collaborative process that stretches our ability as human beings to cope with its demands.
Many people working in software development spend their careers without seeing what good really looks like.
Our history is littered with inefficient processes creating poor quality output, too late to capitalise on the expected business value. How have we got into this state? How do we get past it? What does good really look like?
Continuous Delivery changes the economics of software development for some of the biggest companies in the world, whatever the nature of their software development, find out how and why.
What’s a Design Sprint and Why Does it Matter? by Elvis Pivić
We all want to believe we’re just about to reach it — our eureka moment.
That moment when light breaks, clouds part, and all those torturous months of thinking, planning, re-thinking, and re-planning finally pay off in the form of the perfect solution to our problem.
Except that day never comes. And back to countless meetings, we go.
Perspiring towards perfection has a certain romantic appeal, but ultimately it robs us of the thing we want most: progress. This lecture is designed to give perfectionists in every form — product designers, marketers, business leaders, product, and project managers their first introduction to a better method for getting things done: the Design Sprint.
During this presentation, it will be explained:
* From thinking to doing: the origin of the Design Sprint
* What is the Design Sprint?
* Why the Design Sprint is the hero you need? -
* Sprints — what are they good for? - How exactly does the Design Sprint work?
Disciplined Agile: Past, present, and future. The path to true business agil...
What is Disciplined Agile? Where did it come from? Where is it going? How can it help me?
In your organization, you are very likely using a variety of approaches to deliver solutions to your stakeholders. You might be using traditional waterfall, agile, or hybrid approaches. If you are applying agile methods or frameworks you might be using Scrum, SAFe, Lean Kanban, or “roll your own” techniques. Regardless of what methods you are using, the Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit can help you to be more effective. It is an agnostic, comprehensive library of strategies and practices, with practical advice for which ones work for in different contexts. Many organizations struggle to evolve an agile way of working (WoW) that makes sense for their unique situations. The good news is that you don't need to figure it out on your own. The DA tool kit leverages the experiences of thousands of teams who have already struggled through the very issues that our teams currently face. By referencing these strategies, you can accelerate your journey to project delivery success using a technique we call Guided Continuous Improvement (GCI).
This presentation explains the value of the Disciplined Agile tool kit and how to use it in practice with GCI across your entire organization, putting you on a path to true business agility.

DevOps Transformation in Microsoft – Case Study by Ognjen Bajic and Ana Roje ...
Microsoft has embarked on its DevOps journey more than 8 years ago, when it started modeling a new set of engineering tools and practices called One Engineering System (1ES), fully based on their own platforms – Azure DevOps (ex Visual Studio Team Services - VSTS) and Azure. Since then, multiple product development teams have gone through a massive transition in terms of how they organize their work and deal with infrastructure, tools and processes.
This session tells the story of the transformation of 70+ teams with more than 800 people that develop Azure DevOps, both Service and Server (ex Team Foundation Server – TFS). These teams have been previously producing the monolithic 3-tier on premises TFS environment every couple of years. Nowadays, they moved to the cloud cadence and deliver daily updates to Azure DevOps Services, their global scale, always available, cloud SaaS service made up of dozens of micro-services. At the same time, they deliver the same capabilities on premises every couple of months.
Join us to learn how Microsoft’s teams transitioned from an inert waterfall to a highly performing agile organization, whereby drastically changing the way how they develop, test, deploy and monitor their products. We will explain how they manage large agile distributed product development, how they improved their development process by switching to GIT, how they changed their approach to testing and quality control and managed to take full control over their technical debt.
Agile Business Process Digitization by Nedzad Junuzovic
Your company has decided to move towards digital transformation and in this regard they have decided to digitize the key business process by applying some of the software solutions such as Enterprise Resource System, Document Management System, Customer Relationship Management System etc. You have been tasked with digitizing a business process in a highly functional company that not only is quite far from business agility but also the realization of any project due to its pronounced ,,silo“ structure is a great challenge.
Are projects like this doomed to failure? What are the basic prerequisites that must be provided for a project to succeed? Should you choose an agile approach in this case? Do you differentiate between software and business solutions? To what level is it necessary to analyze the existing business process before carrying out activities to implement a new one? How to apply an agile approach in this case?
All these are just some of the interesting questions and dilemmas from the point of view of digital transformation that we will discuss and present an agile approach to successful digitization of the business process.
Transforming Scrum Masters: The Journey from joining a Transformation to tran...
Ideally, Scrum Masters are lifelong learners that set the example for their organizations. Unfortunately, many organizations have created an environment where learning is limited to a few classroom sessions per year (all within a strict budget). These organizations are trying to ‘use agile’, and suddenly, there are Scrum Masters in these organizations.
These Scrum Masters work within a constrained environment:
- they are made responsible for the team’s delivery
- are not allowed to leverage wall space
- work 40+ hours per week
- slack time (and playing, creativity) is perceived as non-working
- any time problems arise, the organization threatens to fall back into old micro-management patterns
Based on recent experiences with such Scrum Masters, let’s help people in this situation to move forward after their first Scrum Master training. Then, they can truly transform their own organizations.
