What does a Scrum Master do all day if a Daily Scrum is only 15 minutes? This talk - “A Day in the Life of a Scrum Master” - will explore the role beyond simple facilitation of the Sprint Ceremonies. Attendees learn four different areas of focus for a balanced approach to the role.
This is a version of the presentationI delivered last year to the MIH Tech Conference in Prague.
About 2 years after the introduction of Scrum to 24.com I take a look at some of the things we've learned, in particular how to manage innovation in a Scrum environment, and how to use Scrum techniques in non-Scrum teams

Presentation for Mile High PMI Workshop on November 15, 2008
Abstract:
There are always people who want agile projects to fail. This will probably be the case until agile is the preferred process methodology used for projects. Are you one of them? In this workshop Bob Hartman will give participants a how-to guide for causing agile process failure. Attendees will learn various failure modes and how to cause them. There will be group discussions and exercises exploring how the failure modes can manifest themselves in real projects. At the end of this workshop each attendee should have the ability to cause agile project failure in a variety of ways and under a variety of conditions.
Obviously the first paragraph is a bit tongue-in-cheek. Hopefully project managers do not want agile projects to fail, but they need to know how they could fail. This knowledge will translate into an ability to recognize the failure modes and take corrective action. Interestingly, many of the agile project failure modes are also failure modes in other project process methodologies. All project managers on agile projects or in organizations that are considering using an agile process should attend this workshop. Project managers in organizations which typically struggle with projects may also gain insight into their project failure modes.

From Zero to Agile: The Learnings of a First-time Quality AnalystTom Oketch
Coming from a predominantly traditional software development background, it is amazing to see the impact Agile Methodologies have on the processes, techniques, timelines, resources and strategies used to build software. This is especially true for the software testing practice, which has traditionally been treated as a gatekeeper role whose core value was quarantined to the later stages of a product’s lifecycle. However with the advent of Agile, the software testing practice has been totally turned around.
These are the slides for the talk I gave at Agile Brazil 2014 - based on the transition to Agile in the field of Software Quality Assurance.
Among the key takeaways are the proven notions that with the new Agile Approach:
- Testing and core development cannot be detached from one another.
- The quality of the end product is really the shared responsibly of the entire team
- Quality must be built in right from the start
Can agile frameworks help small development teams? After looking at some agile basics, I examine two projects where a small development team used scrum. Agile can be used by small teams to their advantage with commitment and some work.

Priority Activator Consulting (PAC) is an Advisory firm specializing in Business Advisory, Strategy, Human Capital Services & Advisory, Financial Advisory and Research & Analytics
Many teams have a relatively easy time adopting the tactical aspects of agile methodologies. Usually a few classes, some tools introduction, and a bit of practice lead teams toward a fairly efficient and effective agile adoption. However, these teams often get “stuck” and begin to regress or simply start going through the motions—neither maximizing their agile performance nor delivering as much value as they could. Borrowing from his experience and lean software development methods, Bob Galen examines essential patterns—the thinking models of mature agile teams—so you can model them within your own teams. Along the way, you’ll examine patterns for large-scale emergent architecture—relentless refactoring, quality on all fronts, pervasive product owners, lean work queues, providing total transparency, saying no, and many more. Bob also explores why there is still the need for active and vocal leadership in defending, motivating, and holding agile teams accountable.
A presentation focusing on the core ideas of Scrum and elaborating them. Also some thought on transitioning to Scrum. More about the principles and why it works, rather than what needs to be done.
The Agile Drupalist - Methodologies & Techniques for Running Effective Drupal...Adrian Jones
More and more clients are asking for Agile development for their projects, in particular the Scrum methodology, but do they really know what they are getting into? Both Waterfall and Scrum are viable methodologies, but each is best suited to particular situations, clients, and projects - neither can be considered the better methodology in all circumstances.
This presentation discusses the potential advantages of using Agile development for building sites in Drupal, but also the potential road-bumps and pitfalls.
Created & presented by Mohammad Faiz & Daniel Monahan.
Objectives:
Understand the background and definition of Scrum
Understand how to better manage offshore projects with Scrum
Understand some of the pitfalls of Scrum and how to avoid them
Share best practices and experiences
From Technical Debt to Technical HealthDeclan Whelan
Everyone agrees that technical debt is a burden on software innovation that we would rather avoid, and certainly clean up whenever possible. However, in most organizations, people don't prevent technical debt nearly as much as they should, and they don't ever get the time to clean it up. Why, then, if there are clear incentives to deal with technical debt, is it a rampant problem?
In this session, we will focus on how to deal with technical debt on several levels, including the individual developer, the team, the software value stream, and the larger organization. While technical debt may manifest itself in a developer's IDE, the problem starts long before the developer decides to copy and paste some code, or creates an overly-complex and under-documented class. The pressures on teams and individuals to take on more debt than they should come from many sources. Therefore, the solutions to the technical debt problem must extend beyond the team.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

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.
