Agile practices, if applied properly, reduce risk. But of course there a big “if” in that sentence. Christine Aykac will cover how risk practices (e.g. PMI Risk Management Professional) can be used alongside Agile. And as a bonus, we’re making references to TOGAF and Information Security!
What's covered:
- How Do Agile and risk Practices Support Each Other?
- How Can Someone “Secure” Agile-Behavior?
- Is Agile Risky?
- Team Agile versus Team Risk
- How Can You Benefit from Agile as Well as Risk Training?
- Bonus: Adding Togaf and Information Security to the Mix
Agile Risk Management : Presented by Ankit TandonoGuild .
The Sprint Planning meeting is just too long and never finishes on time.
I finished my tasks on time, the story couldn’t be completed as there was a dependency on him. I just didn’t have time to follow it up. Not my fault.
Yet again, there are left over items in the sprint. We couldn’t finish all the committed stories as some of them were too complex for their correct effort complexity estimation.
Ohh Gosh, once again the priority of the tasks have changed in the middle of the sprint, there are new urgent items that have to be done. My sprint commitments have gone for a toss.
We moved to Agile from waterfall and it has been few sprints into it, though even here vision is unclear, requirements are evolving and our sprint commitments are failing. Velocity is just been a number, Burn down graphs conclude nothing concrete and useful.
How do we cater support/maintenance work with Scrum?
Does any of the above statement sound familiar to you, if yes probably it is the time to evolve and adopt KanScrumBan wrapped around XP practices.
KanScrumBan is the combination of Kanban and Scrum and uses the best features of both. While Scrum framework helps the software development teams to self-organize, collaborate, improve efficiency constantly, work in small iterations, and avoid management overhead, applying lean methods like Kanban , flavored with XP practices can extend these benefits.
Risk management in an Agile way - presented at Agile Testing Days 2013Edwin Loon, van
Presentation on using Risk management in an Agile way. It describes how risks can be written down in a same kind of format as user stories and provides a practice on using risk management in a more dynamic, iterative and agile way.
Old-school risk management techniques don't help agile projects. They're just as flawed as waterfall-style Gantt charts that tell you what you'll be doing on a particular day three months hence. And yet if those risks aren't addressed the project will go wrong, despite all the great agile practices in the tech team.
If you're facing a project with a 'risk register', or if you're looking at projects with suspicious-looking business cases, your success is at stake.
Fortunately, in knowing agile you already have the tools you need to tackle this. This presentation will show you how.
Risk is inherent in all software projects. To manage and control them represents gains for the development and success of projects. The main focus of this talk is to present an approach to manage risks aligned with the best practices. This approach is implemented in a project management tool, SCRAIM. http://www.scraim.com/
Agile IS Risk Management - Agile 2014 - AntifragileKen Rubin
How applying core agile principles make the development process robust and at times antifragile to the disorder of uncertain events, allowing us to avoid harm and reap the benefits of uncertainty, without the need for heavyweight risk management processes.
Many believe that agile is lacking because there is no formally defined risk-management process. To compensate for this “failing” some people introduce a heavyweight risk-management process. Others might not believe that any form of risk-management process is necessary; if a risk matures into a real issue, then just deal with the issue through the normal agile process. In my experience, organizations that successfully “manage” their risks don’t fall into either of these camps. In this presentation, I discuss how a large part of successful risk management in agile is applying core agile principles to prevent risks from occurring rather than using a complex process for dealing with the risks that easily could be avoided in the first place.
Disciplined Agile: Past, present, and future. The path to true business agil...Bosnia Agile
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.

Test Driven Development is an engineering concept with practices that has great benefit to business. For example, if your business wants to have idealised and revered products, you will have:
- an ability to deliver high quality products which keep up with the latest customer wishes;
- products which are constantly updated with the latest cool features; and
- ability to very quickly resolve any issues that do occur – and they do for even the best organisation
We will share with you why Test Driven Development is a pivotal tool in the fight to be one of those inspiring organisations. We will cover the practices at a high level and go into the outcomes of those practices. We will include not only how the business should benefit directly from them, but also how they provide indirect benefits for the team and the organisation. Every positive has some negatives, whether they are perceived or actual, long term or short term). We will touch on how they are like any form of exercise – they will be hard work at times, but afterwards the results will include fitter, stronger and faster teams able to delivery consistently better results.
As a manager or leader, you will be able to walk away with insight that will enable you to determine how TDD is worth following up in your domain.
As someone within the delivery team, you will leave with deeper understanding of how you, your team and your company can effectively benefit from Test Driven Development.
by Dave Bales
This presentation aims to raise awareness that default Product Ownership (that uses only ordering and prioritising PBI’s) is not enough to be successful. A higher level of consciousness is required to appreciate the challenges and dynamics of the work at hand. Devising evolutionary strategies to cater for the undercurrents, changing landscape and the opposing dynamics in the product and its backlog, may help to tip the balance in favour of being more successful.
Project dynamics can include:
Releasing a new insurance app to millenials on a smartphone platform. The challenge with this is that more customer testing and an exploratory approach of how milenials think will be required, hence each sprint goal may include working toward a customer testing objective;
A compliance risk project where compliance objectives are static. How those objectives are satisfied is variable, hence an evolving strategy to use an iterative approach is to be considered. The first iteration would be to neutralise the compliance risk, starting with a manual process. Successive iterations would then be run by automating and adding more value;
An integration risk project, where a central framework has to integrate with several other systems. An evolving strategy would focus on setting sprint goals to achieve integration, as well as regression testing objectives to neutralise the integration risk early

"Achievements and Lessons Learned Introducing Large Scaled Agile Development"
Speakers: Stefan Wunder & Robert Dietze
Invensis Learning, a premier training and certification organization that provides widely-recognized project management certification courses decided to understand what could be the Project Management trends for 2019. As a training and certification provider, we wanted to clearly understand from the industry experts as to where the project management domain was heading towards and how could we address the gaps if there were any.
Brian Wernham (Governance SIG) on ‘The Agile Portfolio’. Brian gave a non-stop ‘pecha-kucha’ presentation where there are 20 slides, and each automatically moves on every 20 seconds. A very demanding format that was great fun to rattle through – the big advantage is that you know that it will last no longer than 6 minutes and 40 seconds!
Today many teams and companies are turning to Agile product development. Scrum is among the most popular choices. The promises from Agile are several. Still it is good advice to do a couple of things before you go Agile. In the following I will list and discuss five things to do before you go Agile.
The term Project Management means many things to many people. For software development, managing the project means having the customer agree you are Done in measures meaningful to the customer.

Customer Success Webinar Series: How to Align your Company Around an Onboardi...Gainsight
Customer onboarding can sometimes be considered an afterthought for organizations—leading to lengthy times to get up and running, under-educated customers and a general sense of dissatisfaction. Ensuring your customers are onboarded quickly and effectively is crucial to success, but also presents a number of unique challenges.
Businesses today are more dependent on technology than ever. And, more than ever, they're looking to IT for ways to improve employee productivity, customer service and innovation. The challenge is that in order to achieve results with technology, IT and the business have to work collaboratively.
IT needs to be able to develop the right relationships and communicate with different stakeholders from a business perspective - not a technical one. As a result, the transformation of the IT department has become a top-level priority for many leading organizations. At the same time, business leaders need to strengthen their business technology IQ and play a more significant role in the governance of IT.
Learning and development professional Michelle Moore fills you in on the skills and knowledge required to help IT and the business collaborate and perform in this new environment. She will also share industry best practices for making the transition.
FCB Partners Course Preview: Process Owners in ActionFCBPartners
A Three-day Advanced Certification Class on Business Process Management (BPM)
The role of Process Owner is a challenging one, characterized by significant accountability with limited resources and authority. Because process ownership is relatively new to many organizations, people taking on the role have had little guidance, training, or opportunity to learn from peers. The purpose of this course is to illuminate the role, explore the challenges, offer practical approaches, and enable individuals to successfully navigate opportunities, constraints, and conflicting priorities. This is a course for Process Owners, Managers, and Leaders seeking to improve their effectiveness as well as the staff and consultants supporting them.

Businesses are challenged to stay ahead of the latest trends and competitive developments while building a responsive and agile IT capability to support growth. However, since everyone has access to the same tools, technology alone does not offer a competitive advantage.

Why is everyone talking about Agile Project Management?Melanie Franklin
Do you know what agile project management really means? When your colleagues talk about ‘going agile’ do you know what is involved and how it might affect you?
This webinar is packed with facts and practical experience of adopting an agile approach to project management. It will help you understand how agile is different to other methods including PRINCE2® and what the benefits and the challenges of agile really are.
It forms part of a series of webinars, blogs and speeches I have delivered for the past 10 years. You can see more by clicking on the Linked-In or Twitter feeds embedded into the slides.
We've all experienced the tension that occurs between designers, product managers, and engineers during release time. Scope creep is one key culprit, but another one that isn't often talked about amongst teams is when and how to handoff specs, designs, and code. In this presentation, Poornima Vijayashanker, formerly founding engineer at Mint.com, and currently Founder of two startups BizeeBee and Femgineer discusses about:
* How to setup a process for handoffs that is flexible.
* How to measure the success of the process and refine it over time.
* How to coordinate with teams outside of product and engineering in order to meet business goals.
About the Speaker
Poornima Vijayashanker is a software engineer, entrepreneur, speaker, blogger, and lecturer. After graduating from Duke University with degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer science she moved out to Silicon Valley to begin her career as an R&D Engineer. After a couple of years she was lured into startup land. Here first startup was Mint.com, where she was the founding engineer. After Mint's acquisition, she transitioned from being a founding engineer to a founder. Currently she is the CEO & Founder of two startups: BizeeBee and Femgineer, and is spending the fall of 2013 lecturing at Duke University. When she's not running companies and building products she's practicing Bikram yoga, cooking, or traveling around the world.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
