How to repeatably release a fully functional piece of software to the end users within two weeks? Everyone nowadays knows we should go with the Agile approach. However, how to convince the executives that all IT projects can be still predictable on schedule and manageable on risks? The author shares the insights on one of the best practices to convert not only one team on one project, but the whole organization on all projects so that an enterprise can achieve high agility in responding to both internal and external demands. This approach is called SCRUM+WBS combo Agile approach.

Design Thinking is a method for the practical and creative resolution of problems through design with a comprehensive understanding of stakeholders, users, or customers. There has been significant coverage in the literature on this method, much in connection to Stanford’s d.school. This widely adopted method has direct application in engineering. Through this breakout, participants will learn some of the core concepts of design thinking and available resources. Participants will discuss how to leverage the overlap of design thinking and entrepreneurial mindset.
Design is any creation that is created through creativity, knowledge & skills.
It is about creating solutions for people, physical items, or more abstract systems to address a need or a problem.
A plan or specification for the construction of an object or system for the implementation of an activity or process.
Presentation cum training module about how to design thinking can be useful in projects. How project management team can become more innovative through learning design thinking. This also covers which type of projects design thinking can work best.

Interactive systems can be easily made foolproof and practical, but joy and delight all too often elude the final product. This author of two books on design process and interactive patterns has discovered that strict adherence to these same processes or patterns can result directly in functional, but ultimately boring interactive products. In this discussion, you will learn how to avoid the safe answer, while still embracing proven patterns, best practices and user feedback. You will also discuss how to recognize this problem, the principles to avoid these pitfalls, and how to implement tactics to encourage innovative design for your users, and that works within your organization.

If you've worked with Git long enough to wish you could modify the history of a repository, this talk is for you. Git's filter-branch command lets you re-write history in an automated way, changing usernames, removing certain commits, or restructuring repositories to have nested folders become the top level folder for potential use as submodules.

Git is a version control system. We can look at it from that high level. Git is a content tracking system. Some teachers advise us to look at it from that lowered elevation. But I will take you to the very bottom. The floor. The code. The algorithms. The directed acyclic graph of hashed bit sequences made efficient through LZW compression and deferred garbage collection determined by node reachability via hash relationships.
“But why?”, you may ask. “Why go this deep?”" Git is a tool that works so well for so many. It mystically corrects anticipated `merge` conflicts. It’s “where did code come from” results from `blame` are impressive. The ability to re-write history through `rebase` is awesome. The globally unique identifier nature of a hash-produced ref is revolutionary.
Uber-geeks are magic-slayers. We want and need to know precisely how things work. Like a hard 50 push-up workout, this study will make working with Git at the daily developer level a fraction of the effort — like a mere ten push-ups. Join Matthew McCullough of GitHub and let’s dig into the guts of Git.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
