Presentation to the Agile Nashville User Group, January 2015. Are you working with multiple agile teams on a single software application? Are you looking for help with making agile work for you at the program level? Have you considered leveraging the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) but been scared off by its prescriptive nature? Are you confused about how program level SAFe applies in your context? Every organisation is different and what works for one organisation may not work for another. One of the benefits of a framework, is that they can and should be adapted to your context. Based on learnings derived from practical experience, this session will illustrate how focusing on principles can help you design a pragmatic approach to program level SAFe suitable for your unique situation.

Struggling with Agile at scale? Thinking about scaling Agile beyond the team? Want to learn from others’ mistakes? Well don’t panic, and carry a towel. After all, “any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.” There is a lot to be learnt from those who have successfully hitchhiked their way to the galaxy of Scaled Agile, but there is also much to learn from those who have gotten a little lost upon the way. This session celebrates the scaled Agile hitchhiker, the people who tried and failed, with ideas that were occasionally brilliant but often plain stupid. You will laugh, you will cry but you will also walk away will a nice long list of ideas not to try when scaling Agile!

The Key to the SAFe: Principles over Practices

Em Campbell-Pretty

Presentation given at Agile 2014. Are you working with multiple agile teams on a single software application? Are you looking for help with making agile work for you at the program level? Have you considered leveraging the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) but been scared off by its prescriptive nature? Are you confused about how program level SAFe applies in your context? Every organisation is different and what works for one organisation may not work for another. One of the benefits of a framework, is that they can and should be adapted to your context. Based on learnings derived from practical experience, this session will illustrate how focusing on values and principles over practice and processes, can help you design a pragmatic approach to program level SAFe suitable for your unique situation. By contrasting principles and practises this session will: * draw out the principles behind SAFe and the standard SAFe practises that apply to them, * show how practises from other scaling models align to SAFe principles and compliment program level SAFe; and, * share real word examples of how adapting SAFe practises, while remaining aligned to the principles, can help you create a working model applicable to your program

On Track: The ART of Avoiding a Train Wreck

Em Campbell-Pretty

They said, “You can’t use Agile to deliver an Integrated Enterprise Data Warehouse!” but they were wrong. With a little bit of pragmatism and a whole lot of hard work, that is exactly what we did. When the Enterprise Data Warehouse delivery team began their Agile journey, they scaled from 1 to 6 teams in a matter of months and found themselves struggling to make the leap from agile projects to an Agile program. After reading Dean Leffingwell’s Scaling Software Agility and Agile Software Requirements Em Campbell-Pretty was inspired to establish Australia's first SAFe Agile Release Train. The session will cover how she applied the Scaled Agile Framework, transforming not only the delivery capability of the EDW team but also the culture. The audience will come away a recipe for applying agile to data warehousing and the secret ingredients to create the right culture. Presented at the Agile Denver Meetup 8th October 2015

Mission Impossible: Banking on a SAFe QuickStart

Em Campbell-Pretty

Imagine inheriting the job leading the "business as usual" change program for Westpac's new online banking platform. Your challenge, should you choose to accept it (like you have a choice), is to “turn it Agile”. You are “gifted” a SAFe Program Consultant, not that you know what that is. So you tell them of your predicament and ask if Agile will help. As one would expect, the Agile consultant can see the path to agility. However, the recommended approach seems somewhat unconventional. A one-week immersion program that will transform the waterfall machine into an Agile Release Train! Tune into this session to learn how one of Australia’s largest banks adopted Agile on a mission critical application overnight. Attendees at this session will learn the benefits and pitfalls of using SAFe’s notorious Quick Start approach to implementing Agile, and the facts about what it really takes to “Quick Start” an Agile Release Train.

Imagine being the business owner of an application that was the complete antithesis of Continuous Delivery i.e. no delivery ever! Ok, that might be a slight exaggeration. Let’s just say the realisation of benefits from projects developed on this application were few and far between. You are presented with Agile - a silver bullet - and you wait, and you wait and you wait, but the magic doesn’t happen. Eventually someone starts a conversation about “agile technical practises”, finally you know the spell to cast to make the magic carpet fly, or so you would think…..

Demystifying the Role of Management in Agile

Em Campbell-Pretty

Often when an organisation introduces agile, management can be left wondering what their role is and how they can contribute. While some might suggest management should “just get out of the way” in my experience this is not the answer. Managers definitely have a role to play and an important one at that! In this session Em will share her journey to becoming an Agile Leader. You will hear what made her start, the real world challenges she faced, the mistakes she made along the way and the secrets she discovered. Attendees at this session are sure to walk away with a new appreciation of the role of managers in agile organisations and plenty of practical ideas that can be implemented in an organisation, regardless of whether they are agile or not!

7 Secrets of Successful HipChat Integrations

Atlassian

One of the great things about HipChat is its ability to support add-ons that pull useful information from other systems into team chat rooms. Many teams use add-ons to do things like notify them about incidents, track marketing metrics, or organize team projects. But, getting teams to use the right add-ons in the right way can be a challenge. While many provide a lot of value to the team, others don't get much adoption. Learn what makes for a successful HipChat add-on from HipChat Ecosystem team manager, Anatoli Kazatchkov, who has studied the essential traits of popular add-ons. You will learn how to avoid making your add-ons too noisy, how to make the functionality discoverable, and how to provide the right information in the right context. Products covered: HipChat

The changing role of testing and test automation in the increasingly fast-paced world of continuous delivery and automated acceptance testing. Learn how, in a DevOps environment, testing activities start with requirements discovery and definition, playing a vital role in not only detecting defects, but preventing them, and ensuring not only that the features are built right, but the right features are built. And learn how test automation needs to happen during, not after, the sprint, and how you can achieve this. Despite rumors to the contrary, the role of the tester is not diminished with the arrival of automated DevOps, with its ultra-rapid deployment cycles and its emphasis on automation. On the contrary, testers play a vital role in ensuring that the code that gets deployed ten times a day is worth deploying.

BE A POD OF DOLPHINS, NOT A DANCING ELEPHANT

John Ferguson Smart Limited

his talk will present the core concepts of Exponential Business Agility, or XBA. XBA is a set of patterns for organising value streams around self-organising, autonomous teams, and is part of the XSCALE approach to scaling agile. XBA combines the Spotify model with practice patterns drawn from the Iroquois Confederacy, the most successful and longest-lived holarchy in history. Learn how Throughput Accounting optimises the contribution of each business function to top line throughput rather than blindly attempting to minimise operating expense. And discover how Self-Propagating Transformation avoids pushing change into pre-existing teams, programs or silos, but generates agile capability by grafting the kernel of a new culture onto the trunk of the old. Be a pod of dolphins, not a dancing elephant. Don’t try to scale agile. De-scale your organisation instead.

Design Systems and Your Product

Mark Wolfe

Design Systems are a valuable asset to product teams of all sizes. They unify applications, creating a single “source of truth” for UI elements, UX principles, content strategy guidelines, and re-usable code for the components. Design Systems also add business value by reducing redundancy, outlining a strategic product vision, and keeping design and development in sync across products. Integrating the Design System and building collaboration into the product development process is key to the success for the lifetime of the products. Learning Outcomes: - Define the Design System - Learn to sell the Design System to business leaders - Integrate the Design System into an Agile development process - Design an application and build a Design System

Embracing the Consumerization of IT in Your Company

Atlassian

Here are two truths: Employees expect consumer experiences. IT teams need to follow processes and measure success. Can both be done at the same time? Atlassian's IT team recently answered this question and found that it's not only possible, but necessary. Nikki Nguyen from Atlassian will walk through how Atlassian's IT team transformed the IT experience to make it both more employee friendly and efficient. He will talk through how the team changed their team structure, their tools, their metrics for success...and some unexpected tips and tricks that they found out along the way.

Thawing the "Frozen Middle”

Em Campbell-Pretty

Presentation given at Agile 2015 in Washington D.C. Is working with middle management the bane of your existence? Is middle management preventing progress with your agile adoption? Are the teams you are coaching being stifled by middle management? Or are you a middle manager trapped in the system struggling to break out and make a difference for your organisation? If you answered yes to any of the above questions then this session is for you! Middle management, also known as the "frozen middle", are often bemoaned as blockers to progress. It never fails to amaze me how often a conversation in a room full of agile coaches will turn to the topic of “what to do about middle management”. Frequently the solutions I hear proposed are along the lines of “work around them” or “get rid of them”. In this session we will explore a different approach. Instead of removing middle management from the picture, how can we harness their energy to lead rather than hinder an agile transition? In this interactive presentation, Em will share with you what it is like to be part of middle management, help you tap into your empathy by putting yourself in the shoes of middle management and provide you with numerous proven techniques to help managers at any level (frozen or otherwise!) accelerate their transition into agile leaders.

Thawing the Frozen Middle: The role of Managers in organisations using Scrum

Em Campbell-Pretty

Many enterprise Agile adoptions begin with a CIO on a stage announcing a Call to Agility. Coaches are engaged, teams respond enthusiastically and the executives eagerly await the promised benefits. When reality hits and things aren’t changing fast enough, the finger pointing starts, and more often than not the frozen middle are caught in the crossfire. To add insult to injury, when an organisation introduces Scrum, middle management is often left wondering what their role is and how can they contribute? Many Agilists have suggested we should get rid of them. In my view, you need to embrace them as they do have a role to play, and an important one at that. In this session, we will explore techniques for harnessing the energy of managers at any level: frozen or otherwise! We will help them accelerate their journey towards becoming agile leaders. The presentation was given at Scrum Australia on 29th April 20166.

From Teams to Tribes: Creating a one team culture - #DOES15

Em Campbell-Pretty

“Birds flock, fish school, people “tribe”.” – David Logan People naturally form tribes. It is just what we do. However, not all tribes are equally effective. Just like with regular teams it is the culture of the tribe that dictates its effectiveness. When it comes to succeeding with DevOps in the enterprise context it is necessary to think beyond the individual development and operations teams to all the teams involved in enhancing and maintaining the value stream, the entire tribe. When we launch DevOps initiatives we can get so focused on improving technical practices and how individual roles will change that we can easily forget to help the teams involved bond, foster a sense of belonging, shape their values and instil respect for one another. Succeeding with DevOps in the enterprise context requires explicitly creating and sustaining these attributes, building a culture beyond team’s individual identity to create a sense of tribal unity. In this session, Em will share with you her experiences and proven techniques for helping teams become effective and unified tribes. Presented at the DevOps Enterprise Summit, 19th October 2015.

After all “any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is , is clearly a man to be reckoned with.” There is a lot to be learnt from those who have successfully Hitchhiked their way to the galaxy of Scaled Agile, but there is also much to learn from those who have gotten a little lost upon the way. This session celebrates the scaled agile hitchhiker, the people who tried and failed, with ideas that were occasionally brilliant but often plain stupid. You will laugh, you will cry but you will also walk away will a nice long list of ideas not to try when scaling agile! Learning Outcomes: - 7 failure patterns in scaling agile - An understanding of why these patterns lead to less than optimal results - Tips on how to avoid falling into these failure patterns

Impact Mapping: Making an Impact over Shipping Software

Em Campbell-Pretty

Are you lost in a sea of business requirements? Are you struggling to articulate the business value of your technology project? Do your user stories lack context? Is there a lack of alignment between your delivery teams and business stakeholders? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions then this session is for you! Impact Mapping is a facilitation technique that brings technologists and senior stakeholders together meaningfully to explore options. It exposes assumptions and helps shape a path from “We want everything” to “We want to to make these impacts in this order” avoiding the trap of solutions looking for problems. This session provides an overview of how to create an Impact Map, share some real world examples of how impact mapping has helped support the delivery of software products and even provide an opportunity for you to start using the tool!

12 Habits of Effective Lean Leadership

Em Campbell-Pretty

What words come to mind when you think about Lean? Toyota? Six Sigma? Manufacturing? Waste? What about Leadership? Does that factor in your thinking? Leadership is often depicted as the foundation of lean, but what does this mean in practise? Is there a place for Lean Leadership in IT? There absolutely is. In this session we will explore what it means to be a Lean Leader and the role of Leadership in supporting the house of Lean. This presentation extends well beyond theory, peppered with numerous practical real world examples of how Lean Leadership has been applied in IT. Attendees will leave this session armed with proven tools and techniques the help them on their journey to Lean Leadership. Presented at itSMF Australia Service Management Conference 2016

Leadership is an Extreme Sport - Workshop @ LAST 2016

Em Campbell-Pretty

“We have diluted the meaning of leadership to such a profound degree that it’s become just another label. But LEADERSHIP is not that easy, so we con ourselves into believing that the WORD is the same as the ACTION.” - Steve Farber Do you live in a world of pretenders? So called leaders that say one thing and do another? Do you dream of being a different type of leader? Perhaps a great leader? Perhaps a leader who has an impact on the world? Are you prepared to take a radical LEAP into a different approach to Leadership? In this session we will explore the Extreme Leadership Framework from Steve Farber's book The Radical Leap and learn how to put the meaning back into the word leadership. Be prepared to step outside your comfort zone, face your fear and change the world! Additional Info: This is a 90 minute workshop based on material I learnt when I attended the Extreme Leadership workshop with Steve Farber in San Diego earlier this year. I want to share Extreme Leadership with that agile community as I believe it is an approach that is highly aligned with agile values. It is also an approach that can be applied by anyone,

Creating Agile Tribes: The secret to succeeding with Agile @ Scale

Em Campbell-Pretty

Program teams and departments will naturally form tribes, its human nature. It is the culture of the tribe that dictates its effectiveness. So, how do you move beyond a positive culture within a specific agile team to creating an entire program or department that people want to be a part of? When we launch agile programs, we tend to teach our teams about the methodology, how their roles will change and how we expect them to be collaborative. What is often forgotten is the need to help these large program teams bond, foster their sense of belonging, shape their values and instil respect for one another. Successful Agile at Scale requires explicitly creating and sustaining these attributes, building a culture beyond team’s individual identity to create a sense of tribal unity.

Just like with regular teams it is the culture of the tribe that dictates its effectiveness. When we pull various technology teams to work on a program, product, value stream or Agile Release Train they will form a tribe, a team of teams. When we launch agile programs, we tend to teach our teams about the methodology, how their roles will change and how we expect them to be collaborative. What is often forgotten is the need to help these large program teams bond, foster a sense of belonging, shape their values and instil respect for one another.

This presentation was given at the itSMF Service Management 2015 conference in Sydney on the 20th August 2015. People naturally form tribes. It is just what we do. However, not all tribes are equally effective. Just like with regular teams it is the culture of the tribe that dictates its effectiveness. When we pull various technology teams to work on a program, product or value stream, they will form a tribe, a team of teams. When we look to improve the performance of the teams involved in enhancing and maintain a product or value stream, we we often get so focused on improving technical practices and individual performance that we can easily forget to help the teams involved bond, foster a sense of belonging, shape their values and instil respect for one another. To maximise the effectiveness of any team of teams, we need to take the time to build a culture beyond team’s individual identity to create a sense of tribal unity.

Creating Agile Tribes: Herding CATs for Fun and Customer Delight

Em Campbell-Pretty

Presentation with Jean Tabaka at Agile 2014. When you create Agile teams you typically tell people about a methodology. You probably explained their roles within the decision framework to guide their responsibilities and actions. And you told them that they collaborate and coordinate their decisions versus being told what to do. But where do we help teams bond? How do you support their sense of belonging and value and respect for one another? We believe you will fail in your Agile adoption if you are not explicit in creating and sustaining these attributes. What you are missing is a sense of “tribes.” But what is a tribe? Who creates it? What holds it together? Our answers may startle you. For us, Agile success relies on each team’s sense of their individual identity coupled with the tribe’s sense of unity. We’re convinced that the notion of creating and sustaining tribes is pivotal to scaling Agile. And yet this notion seems conspicuously absent in how experts talk about success in scaling Agile? In this talk, Em and Jean bring the good, the bad and ugly from their research, personal insights, and stories about tribes.

Bringing Execs to the Collaboration Table with Impact Mapping

Em Campbell-Pretty

Presentation to 10Stories Meetup in Melbourne on 22nd May 2014. When scaling agile within the enterprise, managing the competing priorities of senior stakeholders is often a challenge. Each stakeholder has their own agenda and determining the right thing for the organisation can be near impossible. The thought of using many of our classic “agile facilitation techniques” with a room full of executives is enough to send many running for the hills. But the reality is, in the enterprise we need tools that inspire a collaborative mindset at all levels - it’s just not enough for the “teams to work differently” Impact Mapping is a facilitation technique that brings technologists and senior stakeholders together to meaningfully to explore options. It exposes assumptions and helps shape a path from "We want everything" to "We want to to make these impacts in this order" avoiding the trap of "solutions looking for problems”. Impact Maps visualise “delivery scope in a way that is easy to evolve, reprioritise, grow and shrink as necessary to react to changed market opportunities or new knowledge.” (Gojko Adzic) In particular, it engages the real decision makers in a collaborative style in short workshops that shape the path, providing the direction and validation required to then transition into the more low-level story based inception work. In this session Em Campbell-Pretty and Mark Richards from Context Matters will provide an overview of how to create an Impact Map, share some real world examples of how impact mapping has helped support the delivery of software products and provide an opportunity for the audience to start using the tool!

The Tester Role in the Agile Release Train

TechWell

In a classical agile team, testers and developers work together on feature teams to produce functioning software in each sprint. As enterprises scale up their agile adoption, the agile feature teams must work in concert with many other teams, such as component teams and system teams. They may find that they need to interact with a number of technical experts and domain experts—DBAs, architects, user experience experts, business analysts, and others—who form part of the supporting cast. Together, these teams and individuals make up the “team of teams,” often known as the release train. Testers play a key role in each of these teams along the way. Malcolm Isaacs explores each of these teams, their functions, and their interactions with the rest of the enterprise from the perspective of the tester. He discusses testing tools and techniques that testers in each of these enterprise teams can leverage to increase overall quality.

The Story of User Stories

Robbie Mac Iver

User stories are too often thought of as just another way to gather requirements. That misses the point and can lead us down the path of aimless projects just trying to complete a set of predefined work. Done right, users stores provide clear business purpose by answering the who, what, and why of specific business problems that should be addressed. In doing so, user stories help flesh out vision and value stream details that improve decision making across the organization and make delivery teams more effective.

Extreme SAFe - Turning Up the Flow in PI Execution

Em Campbell-Pretty

Presentation at the SAFe Summit 2022. PI Planning is in the bag and the train has left the station, at last, you can relax. Or so you thought…. The first iteration is fairly quiet, the second seems smooth as well and then it happens, without warning you are over halfway through the PI and your train has derailed without any warning. How did this happen?! You held all the PI Execution events as described in the textbook but your train looks like it won't be delivering the cargo to the next station on time. What else could you have done? What if you applied the Extreme Programming mantra to PI Execution, by taking proven good SAFe practices and then took them to the extreme or as we say turn up the good? In this long-awaiting sequel to their 2021 SAFe Summit session about “Turning up the magic in PI Planning”, Em & Adrienne will show you how they take PI Execution to the next level by turning up the flow. Learning outcomes: - Recognise how the SAFe Principles can be applied to “turn up the flow” in SAFe PI Execution. - Adapt the batch size of SAFe PI Execution Events to improve flow. - Introduce new PI Execution patterns that enable greater flow.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Lean-Agile Leaders

Presentation at Agile Australia 2020 (December 2021!) The foundation of a Lean-Agile organisation is Lean-Agile leadership. This is all well and good but it often requires a significant cultural shift to become a reality. We know from Kotter’s Leading Change that to change the culture of the organisation we first have to change the habits of the organisation. So what are the habits of effective Lean-Agile leaders? Join this session to explore the habits of effective Lean-Agile leaders, their origins in Lean/TPS/Japan and their application in today’s world.

Turning Up the Magic in PI Planning

Em Campbell-Pretty

Presentation by Em Campbell-Pretty & Adrienne Wilson at the Global SAFe Summit 2021 Mob Programming thought leader, Woody Zuill, suggests that instead of always focusing on solving problems, we also take the time to notice the things that are going well and amplify them, thereby "turning up the good". When it comes to SAFe Dean Leffingwell perhaps said it best: "There is no magic in SAFe . . . except maybe for PI Planning." I suspect most of you agree that PI Planning is the magic in SAFe. There is nothing quite like the energy created by bringing a group of 100+ people together to build a collaborative plan over a couple of days every 10 to 12 weeks. So what would it mean to "turn up the good in PI Planning"? If we focused on what is good and what we want more of, would we get more magic?! For Em and Adrienne, the answer is a resounding "Yes!" In this session, they will take the "The Facilitator’s Guide to PI Planning" and illustrate how turning up the good can bring your PI Planning magic to the next level.

What should you do when you have everything to lose? Be safe or be SAFe?

Em Campbell-Pretty

Keynote at the Women in Agile Gathering at the Gloabl SAFe Summit on 3rd October 2019. When you are thrown in the deep end of the pool and you don’t know how to swim, it's a scary time. As a leader, it can be easy to try a radical new idea especially when you feel you have nothing to lose. But what if you have everything to lose? Fear can be paralyzing. It is the courageous leader that ‘steps into the arena and dares to be different’. Attend this keynote to explore how leaders can survive and thrive by letting go of everything they think they have to lose and taking a radical leap into the unknown - with or without a net!

Self-Selection: A SAFe Approach to Forming Agile Release Trains

Em Campbell-Pretty

Presented on 2nd October 2019 at the Global SAFe Summit 2019. When it comes to shaping agile teams, many organisations use a leader decides model. The design of the teams is often a very delicate balancing act. Skills, experience, subject matter expertise and personalities all need to be factored in and the end result is often less than ideal. So, what if we took a different approach? What if we let the people who are going to be in the teams decide for themselves which mix of skills, experience, subject matter expertise and personalities are going to work best? In this session you will learn how Sandy Mamoli & David Mole's approach to self-selection (aka Squadification) has been used with SAFe to empower people to choose who they work with. This warts and all tale from the trenches will arm you to attempt your own self-selection workshop when launching or reshaping Agile Release Trains. Learning Objectives: Explain the value of using self-selection to create teams Identify where the standard self-selection guidance needs to be modified for SAFe Prepare for & facilitate a self-selection event

Is There a Place for Individuals and Interactions in Enterprise Agility?

Em Campbell-Pretty

Presented at Agile2019 in Washington D.C. Is Enterprise Agility an oxymoron? We say we value Individuals and interactions over processes and tools however, the enterprise agility space is drowning in processes and tools. There are countless frameworks and innumerable tools to measure every part of a teams performance to dizzying detail. But what about individuals and interactions? Does this get overlooked because it’s “too hard”? How does an enterprise scale an agile practice beyond a team, into a team of teams, or boldly into an entire enterprise but not lose sight of this principle? In this session, Em & Adrienne will trade war stories with you about with Agile in the Enterprise and what role valuing Individuals and Interactions plays in successful transformations. Learning Outcomes: Identify Enterprise behaviours that are incongruent with valuing Individuals and Interactions, including leadership pitfalls. Explain the economic benefit of valuing individuals and interactions Describe the types of behaviours displayed by Enterprises that values Individuals and Interactions Apply valuing Individuals and Interactions in an Enterprise context

Learning from the Books You Said You Read...

Em Campbell-Pretty

Presentation by Em Campbell-Pretty & Melissa Hay at Agile 2019. Have you ever noticed how almost every speaker at every agile conference references a ton of books? Did you ever wonder if they even read those books? And if so, how did they remember what they read? And did they take action based on what they read? What about the last book you read? What experiments did you run whilst reading the book or after finishing it? Or can you not remember the last time you read a non-fiction book? We all know that trust, safety, flow and product orientation are keys to success with agile teams. We are all striving for high performing teams that deliver great products. Sometimes all the blogs, books and LinkedIn posts are just too much to consume. So how can we bring these ideas into our real world? Here’s your opportunity to see how we go about learning from books. We will share examples of books we’ve digested and experiments we have run with real teams to see them thrive. This is the insiders’ guide to making a real difference with what you learnt from all the books you said you read.

Tribal Unity: The Heart of Scaling Agile - Keynote Agile Israel 2017

Em Campbell-Pretty

When it comes to agile at scale, it is necessary to think beyond a single agile team to a team of teams, or tribe. It is the culture of this team of teams that dictates its effectiveness. Which begs the question, how do you create an entire program or department that is a "great place to work"? Based on her debut book, Tribal Unity: Getting From Teams to Tribes by Creating a One Team Culture, Em Campbell-Pretty will share the proven patterns she has been successfully applying in the field over the past five years. Peppered with tales from the trenches this session will be full of practical ideas to help you lead a teams of agile teams towards Tribal Unity.

From Teams to Tribes: Creating a One Team Culture

Em Campbell-Pretty

Presentation at Mastering SAP in Melbourne (May 2017). People naturally form tribes. It is just what we do. When we bring together teams to work in a department, or on a program or product this team of teams will become a tribe. However, not all tribes are equally effective. Just like with regular teams it is the culture of the tribe that dictates its effectiveness. When we look to improve the performance of these teams of teams, we often get so focused on improving technical skills and individual performance that we can easily forget to help the teams involved bond, foster a sense of belonging, shape their values and instil respect for one another. To maximise the effectiveness of any team of teams, we need to take the time to build a culture beyond the team’s individual identity to create a sense of tribal unity. Based on her debut book, Tribal Unity: Getting from Teams to Tribes by Creating a One Team Culture, Em Campbell-Pretty will share the proven patterns she has been successfully applying in the field over the past five years. Peppered with tales from the trenches this session will be full of practical ideas to help you lead a team of teams towards tribal unity.

Tribal Unity Book Launch @ Agile Denver, 27th October 2016

Em Campbell-Pretty

Tribal Unity: The Heart of Scaling Agile When it comes to agile at scale, it is necessary to think beyond a single agile team to a team of teams, the whole tribe. Just like with an individual agile team it is the culture of the tribe that dictates its effectiveness. So, how do you move beyond a positive culture within a specific agile team to creating an entire program or department that is a "great place to work"? When we start to scale agile, we tend to teach our teams about the methodology, how their roles will change and how we expect them to be collaborative. What is often forgotten is the need to help these teams of teams bond, foster a sense of belonging, shape their values and instil respect for one another. Succeeding with Agile at Scale requires explicitly creating and sustaining these attributes, building a culture beyond team’s individual identity to create a sense of Tribal Unity. Based on her debut book, Tribal Unity: Getting From Teams to Tribes by Creating a One Team Culture (http://amzn.to/2hHT2R4), Em Campbell-Pretty will share the proven patterns she has been successfully applying in the field over the past five years. Peppered with tales from the trenches this session will be full of practical ideas to help you lead a teams of agile teams towards Tribal Unity. We may even form our own little tribe.....

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good Practices

Globus

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 Analysis

Globus

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 NetSage

Globus

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?
