Software development is an innovation process. Because of that, people who work on creating software need to be provided with a certain environment to be able to be productive and effective. According to Daniel Pink who is a modern writer on business & management, innovative teams must be provided three things, purpose, autonomy, and mastery.
Our purpose is to increase people's intrinsic motivation by giving them purpose and make them autonomous and help them master what they are doing.
In this interactive workshop, Mohamed is going to tackle 3 main topics to shape a team identify
1. Why do we exist? Our purpose is...
2. What do we hold dear? Our values and principles are...
3. Where we want to be in the future? Our vision is…
Going Horizontal: The path to better organizations and a better society - Sam...Spark the Change Montréal
Collective leadership, self-management, employee led organization, non-hierarchical or horizontal ways of working – no matter what we call it, these ways of working together are what allow organizations to tap into their full potential and respond to their most current and relevant challenges.
When organizations begin to shift their culture towards more explicit forms of shared power, mutual responsibility and care, the journey forward is neither clear nor easy, and we often get stuck.
But what if organizations themselves are the ideal training grounds for developing the most critical personal and collective leadership skills required for our shared future?
Based on a unique anthropological lens, Samantha has uncovered a practical approach to going horizontal that can help anyone, no matter the domain of your activity, the size of your organization or your role within it.

Anything that can go wrong will go wrong! That’s how Murphy’s law states that the fact that outages are inevitable and systems often misbehave.
As developers, we are working hard to build reliable and scalable systems, and it’s our job to keep the ship floating and the services up. In this session, we will talk about fires, how to put them out, and how to be ready for them. We will discuss abuser stories, degradation of service, and dependencies management as possible techniques to fight fires. We will discuss these techniques through some war stories and how they helped or could have helped service owners.
Agenda:
- What brought me here?
- What is fire?
- Firefighting Vs. The dev team
- How do you end up with fire?
- Your dependencies will fail.
- Feature toggles are your friends

Scrum works best with small teams that work to deliver software that is prioritized by the team backlog. It is then built-in iterative models with sprints by having the highest priority items implemented first. But when it comes to managing large organizations, a Scaled Agile Framework is adopted. Scaled Agile Framework, also known as SAFe, is an enterprise-scale development framework, developed by methodologist Dean Leffingwell. It uses a combination of existing lean and agile principles and combines them into a templated framework for large-scale projects. In the session, we are going to know why we should scale and we are going to talk about different scaling framework and in the end, we are going to talk more about SAFe.
Agile Club #15 - Lean Night #05: How to use the 10 Types of Innovations to en...Agile Club
During this workshop, we will review a very important principle that we only care about innovation in the product only, although there are many different types of innovation. This workshop presents 10 types of innovation, based on a book and methodology that exemplifies the Dublin model of innovation. It will be an opportunity for all attendees to learn about these ten types and this will help them to understand innovation and entrepreneurship more broadly. You can learn about this methodology in the following links: Ten Types
Using a list of more than 2,000 successful innovations, including Cirque du Soleil, early IBM mainframes, the Ford Model-T, and many more, Larry Keeley in his book applied a proprietary algorithm and determined ten meaningful groupings—the Ten Types of Innovation— that provided insight into innovation.
In this presentation, Altug talked about STEP 0. STEP Zero is a very important part of introducing the Kanban method. Kanban Method is also is very effective at the non-IT business or we can name it upstream. Non-IT businesses for example banking or insurance domains are very complex.
How do you identify the services? It is not an easy job especially if you work with complex domains like bank or insurance. In that stage, I will show how to apply Kanban STATIK approach with Domain Storytelling concept.
Domain Storytelling is a collaborative modeling technique that highlights how people work together. Its primary purpose is to transform domain knowledge into pictographic language.
After this session, attendees will be able to return to their company with the ability to :
1- Introduce the Kanban method to the entire organization, especially to business units (upstream)
2- Apply better STATIK on services.
Delegation Board - A tool to protect the teamAgile Club
One day, our team agreed with the manager Stephan that we will make decisions on the distribution of part of the bonuses on our own. Careful ly weighing the pros and cons of Stepan agreed to give us as much as 50%. He hoped that this would increase our productivity and co-operation. He was not mistaken-we worked cool and rolled out several releases in six months. But a week before day X, Stepan left to work at Tesla. And the manager Alina came to us, who did not know about the agreement and therefore she divided everything herself. We were crushed. However, on the next sprint retrospective, we worked out options for correcting such an annoying situation and discovered the Delegation Board. Presented in the form of a visual table, easy to fil with case sand solutions, DelegationBoard, allows you to fix the agreement with the manager openly. Also, the creation of such boards actively drives growth.
Agile Club # 11 - Agile Programming TechniquesAgile Club
In this talk, we will go through, how agile values and principles can impact the way we write code. We will be covering different practices Test-Driven Development (TDD), pair programming, and clean code standards, discussing the benefits and the technique of each of those practices. In addition, we will show you how could we deal with legacy code in an agile way.
Outlines:

In his book, The Lean Startup, Eric Ries highlights the value of the iterative & incremental approach to technology development AKA agile( & scrum;) he also elaborates on his lean startup model by publicizing MVP & “The Build, Measure, Learn” loop. All this in mind, almost at all levels and growth phases of businesses, tech teams are continuously being bombarded by difficult yet crucial prioritization questions resulting in decision fatigue, and inaction.
We will introduce “OKRs” Objectives & Key Results. A simple yet effective goal-setting tool that guarantees visibility & alignment across the whole organization; Business, Tech, Design, Finance, Operation, etc.
This will extend your “lean startup” knowledge with OKRs a model pioneered by Andy Grove; Former Intel CEO & John Doerr; VC & Author of Measure What Matters. John introduced the model to Google back in the early days & they adopted it on-the-spot & have been publicizing it ever-since.
Whether you are a company of one, A small startup, A growing one or a big enterprise, OKRs along with Agile & Lean Startup models will definitely be an invaluable addition to your toolbox.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Activating Remote retros
Retrospective tools for teams
High stress and psychological
safety
Role of Scrum Master
24. Other insights from WRD 2020
Best practice for activating remote retros
● Play a game: for example, if you are in a plane that crashed into a desert, what 10 items you want with you in order to survive.
● Use mood checkers.
● Story or picture telling: try asking everyone to tell a story about something, even something as small as a cup or a pair of shoes!
Or to take a picture of something near them to share.
● Guess the song: test your scrum masters singing capabilities by asking them to sing songs for the team to guess!
25. Other insights from WRD 2020
Ideas to keep teams engaged
Once the teams are in the retros, how do you keep them engaged? Here are some cool ideas people were sharing:
● Splitting into smaller teams can help to keep the discussions faster, more comfortable and more democratic
● Liberating Structures by encouraging team members to share a team when they felt not heard or seen. This would be a good
way for a team where there might not be a good level of trust build as yet.
26. Other insights from WRD 2020
How do you handle remote retros for a team with low trust or high stress?
● Set up good online meeting etiquettes such as, turn on your camera when you join, so that everyone does the same thing. It
also helps set the expectations for an online team retrospective.
● Set up tech options. If you’re using Zoom, make sure there’s a backup for another video conferencing tool, like Teams or
Skype, in case one or other other doesn’t work so you can keep online retros happening.
● Encourage compassion. It is not easy to move to a fully online team retro or remote working. We as humans are social beings
after all. So encourage compassion by asking people how they are doing, giving people who are shyer some more time to
respond, and leading by example by creating a safe space to share and collaborate online.
