Kerth’s directive
“Regardless of what we discover, we understand and truly believe that
everyone did the best job they could, given what they knew at the time,
their skills and abilities, the resources available, and the situation at hand”
--Norm Kerth, Project Retrospectives: A Handbook for Team Review

Focus on
“Inquiry rather than Advocacy"
"Dialogue rather than Debate"
"Conversation rather than Argument"
"Understanding rather than Defending"

‘Diversification is the only free lunch in investing’ Harry Markowitz, Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences. ‘In business, the Four laws of Behaviour change can be used to create more effective products’ James Clear, author of Atomic Habits. In this presentation, John will walk you through a few key product and experimentation frameworks that he uses when consulting and mentoring, bringing concepts together into a simple system to coordinate product initiatives and testing ideas. His story begins with a career evolution from experimentation individual contributor (IC) to product leader, taking the driver’s seat to sync people, shape, and ship the product.

At a recent cookout, my 4 year old son, Dawson, ran for the back yard and easily joined a game of hide and seek. Watching this unfold, I realized that these kids are naturally agile. They got straight to playing (the value) and didn’t need a lot of ceremony to get there. They kids all did a quick hello, told Dawson what game they were playing, and invited him to join in (daily scrum). Then they played. He and his friends self-organize, self-manage, and solve problems on the fly. They naturally exhibit the agile values and scrum practices that many adults struggle with daily. For example, most parents have been bombarded with an unending stream of “Why’s?” from their child. Why does this work? Why did that happen? Why? Why? Why? While this line of questioning can be stressing, it is also invaluable to finding the root cause of an issue. Scrum teams use this approach – called The 5-Why’s – to get past technical issues and down to interpersonal issues that could be hindering the team. This session is a fun discussion about the behaviors I’ve noticed in my son and how they translate to important lessons that all scrum master need to learn to better serve their teams.

(slides and handout from PMI Personal Development Day, May 2010) Project retrospectives go beyond classic “lessons learned”. Retrospectives are one the best ways to improve your project results and build a healthy project community. Retrospective facilitator and agile coach Ellen Gottesdiener explain the why’s, what’s and how’s of conducting milestone, iteration and end-of-project retrospectives to elicit and leverage the project community’s collective wisdom, define and sustain good practices, avoid faulty decisions, and adapt for success. Learn: • The value proposition: retrospective benefits and characteristics • Who should be involved, and how to involved them • Essential steps for planning and conducting effective retrospectives • Key questions to answer, ways to address “safety”, and sample retrospective activities

From All Day DevOps 2019: Together, we will explore neuroscience to help reveal techniques to improve your own collaboration skills. By combining this research with examples of real-life use cases/situations (in comic form!), you'll walk away with a concrete understanding of how you can further your career while helping your company nail this "DevOps" thing! Adopting a DevOps culture means bringing the technical groups within your organization closer together. Developers learning from Operations folks, and vice versa. This means that the people that make up those technical teams will need to grow more comfortable interacting and sharing knowledge with each other. So how does your average tech worker learn to thrive in this new collaboration-heavy environment? What individual skills can help workers lead the transition to a successful and thriving DevOps culture? Well, in true geek form, we'll find the answers through science!

Project Retrospectives are an important part of any software development process. The Principles Behind the Agile Manifesto state that, "At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly." How can this be done? By taking the time to reflect and learn and proactively determine what should be done differently in the next iteration, release, or project. Linda's presentation will introduce techniques for project retrospectives, whether they are agile or not. The techniques help teams discover what they’re doing well so that successful practices can continue and identify what should be done differently to improve performance. Retrospectives are not finger pointing or blaming sessions, but rather a highly effective process in which teams reflect on the past to become more productive in the future. Linda will share her experiences with leading retrospectives of several kinds for dozens of projects—successful and unsuccessful, small and large, in academia and industry. Her lessons learned can be applied to any project to enable teams and organizations to become learning organizations.

The Power of Retrospection

"To know, is good. To live, is better. To be, that is perfect." - The Mother During the Agile adoption, its a common complain that many team in many organizations get caught up in the ceremonies or mechanics of Agile and fail to understand/appreciate the true value and spirit of Agile. And because of this, the original intent of the Agile movement itself is lost. This is a serious issue! This workshop will highlight, a well-proven approach to transformation (not adoption) and show the distinct steps in this journey that an individual or a collective goes through when learning anything new. Activities, serving as examples, in the workshop, will focus to show the journey - that is, how to begin with rituals, then gradually move to practices, arriving at principles and eventually internalizing the values. Witnessing this gradual process of transformation will help participants discover for themselves their current progression. We hope this will serve as a guiding light during their Agile journey. Finally, we will leave the participants to ponder upon and discover for themselves their ideals in life and work as this is not only applicable to software development, but also to any discipline where humans are involved, including life itself.

Recently I was asked to separate the public from the administration portion of a web application and deploy them to different servers. I'll present a Rails application where the admin and public portions are activated based on an application running mode flag. In order to achieve this the application components are separated in Rails engines, and I'll go trough some common pitfalls with this approach as well as discussing its long term benefits.

The chances of another pandemic are low, but your members will likely get through other crises such as increased demands with stagnant budgets, local crises, changes in laws or regulations, etc. This would help them lead themselves and their teams through those situations and will help them break the paradigm they have of always staying within one leadership framework that someone sold to them as the best. This would help them be more flexible with their approach to find an effective solution faster.
