Leading Large Scale Product Development with Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS)Kamlesh Ravlani
Organizations are frequently embarking on large scale product development initiatives involving hundreds, sometimes thousands of team members. Scale brings in additional complexity, non-linear behavior and risk. On the other hand, organizations are actively identifying ways to reduce hierarchies and reducing layers of middle management to become adaptive and agile.
Leaders leading large scale product development initiatives are seeking structure and process clarity to fail-proof their undertaking. Plethora of (Scrum) scaling frameworks and methodologies are trying to address these challenges. Some organically and others in more prescriptive way. In this session Kamlesh Ravlani discusses Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) framework and how leaders can apply it to re-design and descale their organization to scale the value delivery.
Large-Scale Scrum is Scrum applied to many teams working on one product. Scrum is almost linearly scalable, hence LeSS framework elements are essentially the same as one team Scrum. LeSS is well balanced between empirical process control and defined elements to work with 2 to 8 teams. From my practical experience working on and leading multiple large scale product development initiatives, and LeSS framework, I'll share elements and practices useful for leaders to re-design the organizations and to enhance the focus on customer value.

Transitioning from Timeboxes to Continuous Product Delivery (by Steve Stolt a...André Faria Gomes
Agile continuous flow (Kanban) methods aren’t only for Operations and Support anymore -- Product Development teams now use them for strategic, date-sensitive initiatives to achieve faster time to market. Proceed with caution! Simply throwing away timeboxes can be dangerous.
We took the journey from a timeboxed to a continuous flow software delivery model. We brought along a large tribe of developers, testers, product owners, dev-ops people, UX designers, and stakeholders. We got lost a few times on the way, but we did find our destination.
Inspect and Adapt principle was introduced last in 12 Agile principles, yet the most important one. On the journey of seeking greatness, any team essentially needs to regularly reflex on past experiences and adjusts itself for future success.
This presentation talks about different tools & techniques to conduct 'meaningful' retrospection meeting, not just efficient ones. If the team members feel that the Retros are meaningful and it contributes in continuous improvement of the team environment, only then the team members would be willing to participate enthusiastically in the retros.

I wish this is True - but it isn't. You can fail just as spectacularly on an Agile transformation project if we don’t follow the principles. But here You'll fail faster as you will be using Agile (due to the transparency and visibility it brings) but unfortunately it's not a silver bullet or an excuse to stop thinking.

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

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
