This document summarizes a presentation about addressing challenges facing program management offices (PMOs) through adopting agile program management practices. The presentation discusses how agile program management can help PMOs by embracing scope changes, prioritizing work to meet deadlines, empowering teams to own their commitments, improving communication through daily stand-ups and retrospectives, and engaging teams in risk management. It also notes that integrating the value stream across tools is a missing ingredient, and that connecting tools can eliminate issues caused by a fragmented value stream by providing end-to-end visibility, accountability, and responsiveness.
The Evolution of Agile Portfolio Management for Scaled Agile SuccessTasktop
With the right tools and mindset, scaling Agile throughout your IT organization can be a painless process. As the market evolves from post-it notes to whiteboards and beyond, the next frontier is finding the right tools that support Agile not only across teams, but also through various levels of hierarchy. The right tools will support not only team members in flowing work across their Kanban boards, but also will support the executive level as they look for at-a-glance updates on the progress and blockers of key initiatives.
From Dev to Ops, all teams within an IT organization should be working towards the same goal -- fast delivery of value to the customer -- and the benefits of Agile can help them get there. But this is not possible with a disconnected toolchain. Agile must impact the whole end-to-end workflow.
This webinar discusses how your organization can enable scaled Agile success by:
- Aligning team priorities around the common goals of an Agile transformation
- Increasing visibility of project status and compliance with cross tool traceability and reporting
- Creating and managing an integrated value stream that can scale to hundreds of projects in minutes
Quality Automation for Agile and DevOps Transformation SuccessTasktop
During this webinar, Gernot Brandl, Senior Product Manager at Tricentis, and Dr. Tuuli Bell, Partner Account Manager at Tasktop, discuss how quality automation and value stream integration can help organizations with their Agile and DevOps transformations by:
- Automating the flow of defects, requirements, epics, test cases and other information across the value stream for enhanced traceability and visibility
- Synchronizing critical data between systems while retaining relationship and context information
- Minimizing errors and rework by flowing defects from multiple sources round-trip to development
Deliver on the Promise of Agile and DevOps TransformationsTasktop
IT organizations are under continual pressure to develop and deliver high-quality applications – at speed - in order to provide key competitive advantage for their company.
They’ve adopted Agile and DevOps practices. But particularly for large organizations with complex application portfolios or compliance pressures, these practices have yet to fulfill the promise of enhancing an organization’s ability to continually deliver customer value. Agile has improved development and test; and DevOps has streamlined getting code into production. But these advances have been localized improvements; to get to the next step software delivery leaders must take a more holistic approach to improving the entire lifecycle.
In this webinar guest speaker, Forrester Senior Analyst Christopher Condo will present his analysis of practices used in modern application delivery and will describe how creating an integrated value stream can help organizations regain their focus on the delivery of customer value.
Are you being haunted by bad software lifecycle integration? Ask yourself:
* Is your team being drained by productivity vampires?
* Has your Agile or DevOps transformation turned into a zombie project?
* Are you caught in the spider web of point-to-point integrations?
* Do you know what monsters are lurking behind your tools' APIs?
Whether you've tried to build your own integration, suffer through lightweight integration solutions, or even manage without integrated tools, you know that building software without an integrated SDLC can be a real nightmare.
This spooky webinar covers some some serious issues facing software development and delivery teams. We'll share scary stories and arm you with the knowledge you need to keep the integration nightmares at bay.

BizDevOps – Delivering Business Value Quickly at ScaleQASymphony
BIZDEVOPS – DELIVERING BUSINESS VALUE QUICKLY AT SCALE
65+% of surveyed organizations are currently on the path to switch to DevOps or have already implemented the process, and the benefits of a properly implemented DevOps program are clear – quicker time to customer value, better alignment between businesses and customers, and a better ability to respond to customer input. However, when it comes to DevOps adoption, many teams rush to focus on one specific issue within one area when they would actually benefit more from aligning business, development, testing, and operations up front. The five major problems in DevOps adoption include:
Lack of Test Automation Coverage
Lack of Visibility into Testing
Maintaining Various Test Versions and Aligning Tests with Versions of Source Code
Maintaining a Single Source of Truth in the Testing Process
Understanding Where Business Value Currently is in the “BizDevOps” Pipeline
After helping hundreds of customers in their DevOps journeys, these three industry experts will cover these major problems, as well as innovative strategies to overcome them:
Bobby Smith – Director of R&D, QAS Labs

DevOps - an Agile Perspective (at Scale)Brad Appleton
by Brad Appleton, Agile Day Chicago 2018, October 26 2018;
This presentation gives a comprehensive introduction to DevOps, for Agile development practitioners. In 2018, there are many misunderstandings about Agile & DevOps and how they relate to one another. Too many think of Agile (development) as primarily "Scrum", and that DevOps is Continuous Integration & Delivery (both of which are wrong). This presentation describes the meaning, origin & history of DevOps from an Agile development perspective.
Efficient Performance Test Automation - Opitmizing the Jenkins PipelineJules Pierre-Louis
Shift-left testing represents a huge opportunity within the context of DevOps and Continuous Delivery, and integrating performance tests into your Continuous Integration scope greatly reduces performance risks when adding a new feature, or fixing a bug.
Even better – adding performance tests into the widely used Jenkins Pipeline is easier than you might think. In this webinar, co-presented by CA BlazeMeter and CloudBees, we’ll offer practical tips and best practices for leveraging performance test automation in a continuous integration environment.
In this webinar we’ll cover:
- How to easily implement a project’s entire build/test/deploy pipeline in Jenkins and store that alongside existing code
- How to configure and execute realistic, large-scale performance-testing scenarios as part of the Continuous Integration process
- Enabling easy test configuration maintenance using the open source test automation tool Taurus along with Jenkins Pipeline
- Analyzing comprehensive performance test results in real-time, and integrating those results as a part of the build promotion criteria
Extend the impact of performance testing across the software delivery pipeline and the popular tools your teams are already using.
Mastering Agile Practices to Build High Performing TeamsAgileThought
These slides are from a talk that I gave to the Tampa Bay Agile Meetup on August 19, 2014. The talk was titled "Mastering Agile Practices to Build High Performing Teams". http://www.meetup.com/tampa-bay-agile/events/193898502/
Description:
You've read the books. You already know what your Agile team SHOULD be doing. Your Daily Standup meeting should be short and sweet. Your deployments should be automated. Your Sprint Retrospectives should inspire improvement.
So if you know what to do, why aren't you doing it?
The short answer is because Agile is hard. It takes real discipline and leadership to master even the most basic practices. Many teams have committed to adopting Agile, but they just don’t know how to get to the next level.
In this talk, I will share my real world experiences from years of coaching high performing Agile teams. I will discuss the key practices that must be mastered for a team to become great. Additionally, I will identify useful measurement techniques so that teams know if they are improving.

Prove Your Transformation ROI with Value Stream ManagementTasktop
2020 elevated IT into the spotlight, opening up a window of unprecedented support for accelerating digital innovation and emerging technologies. But even with increased buy-in for investment and adoption, will anything be different this year?
Without the ability to measure and place value on specific transformation initiatives, many organizations are still shooting in the dark, either working on new features without aligning to business strategy, or putting them on the back-burner to concentrate on things that are easier to cross off a list.
In this on-demand webinar, Tasktop Sr. Flow Advisor, Paninya Masrangsan, provides actionable insights on how to prove your transformation ROI with value stream management.
Let It Flow: Using Flow Metrics to Combat Cognitive OverloadTasktop
Do conflicting priorities and interruptions disrupt your week? Is your calendar crammed with back-to-back meetings? If you are already overloaded and continue to take on more work, it’s likely you’re stressed. Stress impacts cognitive functioning - making it onerous to focus on and complete important work. While cognitive overload is difficult to measure, the impact is huge.
How can the impacts of stress be measured--and communicated? In this on-demand webinar, Tasktop Principal Flow Advisor, Dominica DeGrandis, presents actionable takeaways to address cognitive overload including:
- How to enable discussion for improvements using Flow Distribution and Flow Load
- How to allocate capacity for debt work by initiating “Flow Protection Time”
- How to put conditions in place for data-driven experimentation
Leveraging Validation Lifecycle Data to Drive Actionable Business InsightsTasktop
In this on-demand webinar, Tasktop Sr. Value Stream Architect, Dan Feminella, Tx3 Services Co-founder and CRO, Eric Toburen, and Merck & Co. Test Tool Specialist, Petr Srajb, present n how organizations can start making data-driven decisions while maintaining compliance and traceability by:
- Automating the flow of Computer Systems Validation (CSV) Lifecycle data to eliminate duplicate entry and boost productivity.
- Providing real-time visibility into the health of your product value streams to see how business value is flowing—not just work
- Generating Flow Metrics to spot bottlenecks and identify opportunities where investment is needed to maximize business results.
Driving Digital Transformation Insights with Value Stream ManagementTasktop
Many organizations have been on the road to AD&D transformation, making significant investments in CI/CD and release automation, yet they still have nagging issues such as siloed teams and lack of actionable data--and the new reality of working from home has made gaining the insights needed to master software at scale even more difficult. Value Stream Management (VSM) is helping enterprises to align and make better decisions, but there is still work to be done.
In this webinar, guest speaker Forrester Principal Analyst, Chris Condo and Tasktop CEO, Dr. Mik Kersten deliver an overview of Value Stream Management—a technology and methodology for gaining insight into software delivery processes that enables dev leaders to capture data that represents the actual state of processes—and discuss how Flow Metrics provide the analytics to help organizations better balance workloads, visualize bottlenecks and provide leaders with the data they need to make continuous improvements.
7 Must-Have Value Stream Management Capabilities to Maximize ROITasktop
The transition from project to product in Enterprise IT has the potential to drastically improve market response. Product line leaders can shift resources and funds up to 90% faster than in a project model.1 But that agility and authority is wasted if inadequate data and analytics on end-to-end flow are impeding IT from accelerating business growth.
Join Tasktop Sr. Director of Product, Naomi Lurie, and Principal Value Stream Architect, Mara Puisite for a webinar demonstrating how your organization can maximize business ROI with Value Stream Management and Flow Metrics by:
Measuring the rate of value delivery across software products and services
Capturing actionable insights into the bottlenecks impeding business value delivery
Providing a unified executive view of software delivery productivity and its correlation to business results like growth
Making informed data-driven decisions about future investments in a product line
From Factories To Flow: Streamlining Software Delivery at Cubic CorporationTasktop
Cubic Corporation is a technology-driven, market-leading solutions provider that has been innovating in the public transportation and defense industry for nearly seven decades – having revolutionized elevators, global positioning, public transit fare payments and military training. With a strong foundation of software delivery through solutions such as the “Top Gun” air combat training system as well as the fare payment systems for public transportation platforms in many US and European cities, Cubic set out on a journey to double down on software innovation. A key to that transformation was shifting to a product mindset to accelerate delivery through its highly complex value streams.
During this webinar, Tasktop CEO and founder, Dr. Mik Kersten interviews Jim Colson, CTO of Cubic Corporation on how their transformation is unfolding and lessons learned along the way. We cover Cubic’s use of the Flow Framework®, SAFe® and other industry standards and view some of the flow diagnostics identified by Tasktop Viz, where Cubic was able to accelerate the pace and velocity of delivery.

How to Drive Maximum Business Value from IT Investments with the Flow FrameworkTasktop
When organizations connect and measure the impact of their IT investments on the business’ strategy, business and technology leaders are able to partner more effectively and accelerate the delivery of real business value.
But to do so, these teams must be seamlessly aligned throughout the delivery pipeline, able to quickly identify and resolve bottlenecks, and work together to optimize their processes end-to-end. Flow Metrics enable organizations to measure what matters in software delivery, optimizing the flow of business value from ideation to operation and turning IT from a project-oriented cost center to a profit-generating product operating model.
Key Takeaways:
Discover how to align business and IT leaders to optimize value delivery using the Flow Framework™
Learn how to use Flow Metrics to expose bottlenecks and reveal opportunities to improve time-to-market, responsiveness to customers, and quality
Understand how to create a seamless end-to-end flow of business value in large-scale application delivery using Blueprint Storyteller and Tasktop Hub
Enable High-performance and Strategic Capabilities with Flow MetricsTasktop
To remain relevant amid increasing market disruption, organizations have no choice but to compress their software delivery timelines to deliver features customers want, faster.
Frequently, tactical decisions are made to add people, invest in more tools, and increase the amount of work in teams’ backlogs without achieving the desired results. Agile transformations introduce methodologies and frameworks without the appropriate support mechanisms for success. To enable high performance and inform strategic decisions, organizations need a new foundation.
During this on-demand webinar, Tasktop Flow Framework Engagement Manager, Kristen Biddulph, presents how Flow Metrics provide that foundation, irrespective of methodology or framework, by surfacing end-to-end data on an organization’s flow of work, providing insights that will help them meet their goals.
Flow Metrics: An MRI of your Product Value StreamsTasktop
IT within large enterprises can span vast and complex business portfolios, with numerous external and internal-facing products and their domains. The delivery and maintenance of these products is supported by a network of tools, teams, technologies and processes, all with their own unique variants. The primary goal of the shift to a product-oriented model is to increase business agility and to satisfy the diverse and ever-changing needs of the customer. Organizations must react quickly to customer needs to accelerate the flow of business value from ideation to operation. However, the way the work is traced and measured is slowing down the time to value.
This lack of visibility makes it impossible to know if value is accelerating, time-to-value is getting shorter, waste is decreasing, value work is prioritized and whether demand is outweighing capacity. By automating and visualizing the flow of work and abstracting the end-to-end data across the toolchain underpinning your product value streams, you can get an MRI of your product’s health to help answer those questions and take informed action before it’s too late.
During this on-demand webinar, Tasktop Senior Flow Advisor, Laksh Ranganathan, presents how the Flow Framework™ and Flow Metrics can help organizations make work within product value streams visible and create a data-driven blueprint for scaled success across a portfolio of products.
Project To Product: How we transitioned to product-aligned value streamsTasktop
The project to product movement is quickly gathering speed - a recent Gartner report found that 85% of respondents are shifting to a product-centric mentality. However, the complexity and uncertainty of software delivery at scale, coupled with the sheer number of people involved in the process, is too much for traditional project management techniques. Motivation is not enough to achieve a successful transformation—the product-centric model requires new skill sets, different investments and a change in culture.
What does the shift away from project-thinking really look like?
During this webinar, Tasktop VP of Product Development, Nicole Bryan, combines our own journey with the experience of working with our enterprise customers, to paint a clear picture of the cross-organizational challenges in store - and how you can address them by:
- Adopting a “customer-first” mindset
- Appointing a Product Value Stream Lead and a Product Manager
- Implementing the Flow Framework™ to align the language of IT with the language of the business
Value Stream Architecture: What it is and how it can helpTasktop
Modern enterprises increasingly rely on software to keep the lights on and lay the foundations for long-term sustainable growth. Among many things, IT leaders are tasked with accelerating the time to value of their software delivery value streams.
But when asked, “Do you know what is slowing your software delivery teams down?”, why do IT leaders typically not know the answer?
Methodologies such as Agile and DevOps have been adopted to accelerate the time between build to deploy, yet the benefits are often only felt at a localized level (more sprints completed, higher number of deployments etc.) without a tangible link to business outcomes. Enter Value Stream Architecture.
During this webinar, Senior Value Stream Architect, Dan Feminella, presents:
- The business case for Value Stream Architecture
- Why your organization needs it in order to scale Agile and DevOps
- How to architect for end-to-end flow of business value from customer request to delivery and back through the customer feedback loop
Why Digital Transformations are Failing at ScaleTasktop
During this webinar guest speaker, Forrester VP, Principal Analyst, Diego Lo Giudice, and Tasktop CEO, Dr. Mik Kersten, present their research on why transformations are failing at scale and how a product value stream approach enables organizations to survive and thrive in the age of digital disruption.
How to Integrate Multiple Jira Instances to Improve Collaboration, Visibility...Tasktop
There is no denying that Jira has taken over the developer space. Most developers only want to use Jira, and many organizations are taking advantage of the flexibility of Jira by making it their single source of truth for all software delivery teams.
If Jira is your single source of truth, it’s easy to believe you don’t need to connect to the rest of your value stream. But what about when you have multiple Jira instances across Jira, Jira Cloud and Data Center? The truth is, in order to ensure cross-team visibility, traceability and overarching reporting, you don’t need to look past Jira for the need to integrate.
This on-demand webinar discusses and demonstrates why you need to integrate your Jira instances to:
- Increase collaboration and reduce informal handovers
- Automate information flow to enable traceability across multiple Jira system
- Seamlessly accommodate organization change (mergers, acquisitions, reorgs), minimizing team disruptions
- Centralize fragmented data in a reporting database to identify bottlenecks
Future proof your jira integrations and avoid api change panicTasktop

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
