This is an effective process where using the answers to 'what went wrong and why', the reasons for failure are groupded thematically, and prioritised.Once the reasons are prioritised, Identify mitigating actions. Based on the mitigation plam assign responsibilities and set timelines.
Using this approach helps in finding the risks early and put the mitigation plan to action from the start instead of doing failure based RCA as we encounter failures. What makes this technique even more attractive is the fact that it can be used mutliple times across the project phases to reprioritise the plan and change the course of action as deemed nexessary.

The User Journey - How to create and pitchDenis J Lesak
Everyone has an opinion about how a design should work and knowing what tools to use to make sure your voice is heard can make or break your career as a UX Designer. A well created user journey allows the UX Designer to effectively shepherd the user\\\'s goals into the design process, will dramatically reduce friction between stakeholders and raise the profile of the UX practice within the organization.
In this presentation, you will learn the following:
- Who to include in the user journey creation process
- When in the design process to use it
- What components are used to build one
- How to effectively pitch one
Project Planning: How to Achieve the ImpossibleMindGenius
Nobody launches a new project and intends for it to fail. But time and again projects do fail, for a vast range of reasons.
But there are ways of stacking the odds in your favour. Among the most important is resisting the very human urge to jump straight in. Good planning is vital for success.
I presented these slides to create awareness about adaptive planning and rationale behind it. This concept is core to understanding why agile framework works and things necessary in order to accomplish adaptive planning. Most of this is inspired and taken from the talks of Martin Fowler.

A keynote to help people involved in software product development to execute the right agile and lean practices in order to see a successful relationship among stakeholders.
Managing a team and project are quite synonymous. Especially, teams require effective distribution of responsibility / roles. Once that is setup, a proper process guides people to make progress. All this fits into a product lifecycle, which is essential to develop the right product, in the right way, and deliver it at the right time.

As I've observed software development teams, on high-performing teams, the Product and the Engineering team leads often have the same characteristics as a marriage.
The Product lead may be called the Product Manager, Product Owner, Business Owner, or Business Analyst and the Engineering Lead might be called the Architect or Technical Lead. These roles have to work together daily, working in parallel to create a united vision and goals. The team or team of teams' ability to be organized and focused will depend on how well the Product and Engineering leadership show a united front.
Some of us know what it's like working on a team where Product (i.e. the Business) and Engineering have different agendas and/or are blatantly working against each other.
As I look at this working relationship as a marriage, I look at what makes a good marital relationship and also what to do when the relationship is broken. In the workshop I do exercises that go along with the deck, we talk about how to fix broken relationships and how to make them healthy and productive.
Important words and definitions for those who are looking to become entrepreneurs or are currently entrepreneurs and want to get a better understanding of all of the ins and outs of being an entrepreneur.
“Big Ideas. Brand Strategy. Business Longevity.” is a presentation to help expose young aspiring and future entrepreneurs to approach turning their hobbies and passions into income and businesses. The presentation also identifies some young people of color, African-American entrepreneurs, that have had success stories over the years. No matter your age or whether you are new to being an entrepreneur or have been doing it for a while, there are a few tips to help you evaluate and identify areas of improvement. Board games are referenced throughout as a fun way to help make each of the key points memorable. This presentation was presented at the Delta Sigma Theta MRAC Economic Development Committee - Youth Entrepreneur Summit.
This concise slide deck will give you an overview of some of the terms used in Agile. Terms such as Burndown, Daily Scrum, and Retrospectives are only a few of the terms that are explored. Use this as a quick reference for someone who is just beginning their Agile journey.
Scrum of Scrums is a Scaled Agile technique that offers a way to connect multiple teams who need to work together to deliver complex solutions.
It helps teams develop and deliver complex products through transparency, inspection, and adaptation, at scale. It’s particularly successful when all high-performing scrum team members work towards a common goal, have trust, and respect, and are completely aligned.
Teams thrive when they deliver value
every 2 - 3 Sprints!
They have a constant stream of achievement.
People develop a sense of momentum and confidence.
It helps bond a team together.
They develop the ability to
critique.
It increases respect for other
disciplines.
It reduces the isolation of work.
A facilitator is a person who helps a group of people work together better, understand their common objectives, and plan how to achieve these objectives during meetings or discussions. At any given time, every member of a self-managed, empowered Agile scrum and Kanban team (regardless of your title or role) should be ready to step up to help facilitate the team. Facilitation is not just limited to project managers, product managers, and scrum masters. Every team member, ceremony, and meeting participant has a part to play and make sure meetings are a productive and valuable use of time.
Facilitation is a valuable soft skill. This slide deck is the first part of the workshop that is presented to whole scrum teams, where they can learn the art and science of facilitation. Through immersive exercises and a workshop coach, they can practice, get comfortable and get past any anxiety they have around facilitating. After taking the class, team members will better appreciate the facilitator's role and are likely to become better participants in team meetings. The team members can also help call out anti-patterns during a meeting and, as a peer, help keep meetings on track in support of the facilitators. Over time, facilitation becomes a natural part of the fabric of the team.
As you take a look through this deck, keep in mind that the second part of this is an immersive workshop led by a coach. If your organization wants more information about providing soft skills training in the area of facilitation or other areas, do reach out to us for our various customized solutions.

Everyone is doing it - Agile Software Development and Business Agility but is it right for you? There are definite pros and cons and even instances where you should not apply Agile, especially not a full big-bang transformation. Have questions and want a balanced assessment of whether it's right for your organization or if you are doing Agile the right way? Feel free to reach out to us @ techexpressoconsulting.com
Hiring and paying for an Agile Coach can be expensive. A lot of companies feel like they have the talent and knowledge in-house to perform their agile transformation and I have to say, I agree with them to some extent. Agile knowledge is quite prevalent in today's software development environment. This slide deck actually is part of a presentation where I explain how you can avoid hiring a Agile Coach or Coaches especially for long periods of time, but ONLY if you are willing to address some of the most common mistakes people make when they try to do their Agile transformation or any business process redesign without a dedicated, professional trainer or coach. There is a big difference between having a person in your organization that has extensive experience (i.e. agile training, agile coaching, scrum coaching, agile project management training, project management coaching, and change management) versus a person who has the experience and can do it full time for the duration of the business transformation.
Most organizations' first mistake is thinking that a transformation is just a part-time endeavor and/or that a committee that meets from time-to-time can direct and react as needed during a transformation. If you get through this slide deck and still feel you can do your transformation without an Agile Coach, you have my Best Wishes, just keep our name and number handy if you want a coach that will check-in from time to time and let you know you are on the right track. If you think you need a full time Agile coach, you can also connect with us at TechExpressoConsulting.com.

Teams often complain about unproductive planning sessions. They even ask can they cancel them. Everyone wants fewer meetings, right? That's why my answer and recommendation to have teams add a refinement session to their scrum cadence may come as a shock. However, refinement sessions are not just another meeting, they are a game-changer when it comes to sprint planning.
Planning without refinement is futile!
Check out our slide deck, Planning without Refinement is Futile, that has more information and insight on how introducing refinement meetings with clear agendas and outcomes can be the planning makeover your scrum teams need. Your level of frustration, redundancy, or angst about planning will be forever changed.
The Agile I know and love (and promote) was meant to be FUN! Lightweight, fast-paced, and Fun! Built into every ceremony is an opportunity to promote and celebrate the team's efforts, progress, and/or accomplishments. Every Scrum Master, Engineering Manager, and/or Agile Team Coach should have a wacky sense of humor and not be afraid to look silly. They should give the teams permission and platforms to laugh, let loose and go off-script. Having Fun at work (especially in I.T.) is a gateway exercise that leads to creativity, engagement, and innovation. Check out our podcast series that talks more about ways to "Make Scrum Fun Again"!

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?

Large Language Models and the End of ProgrammingMatt Welsh
Talk by Matt Welsh at Craft Conference 2024 on the impact that Large Language Models will have on the future of software development. In this talk, I discuss the ways in which LLMs will impact the software industry, from replacing human software developers with AI, to replacing conventional software with models that perform reasoning, computation, and problem-solving.
Globus Connect Server Deep Dive - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
We explore the Globus Connect Server (GCS) architecture and experiment with advanced configuration options and use cases. This content is targeted at system administrators who are familiar with GCS and currently operate—or are planning to operate—broader deployments at their institution.
In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

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.
We describe the deployment and use of Globus Compute for remote computation. This content is aimed at researchers who wish to compute on remote resources using a unified programming interface, as well as system administrators who will deploy and operate Globus Compute services on their research computing infrastructure.

By the end of this presentation, you'll have the knowledge on how to organize and improve your code review proces
6. Daily Stand Ups (15 Minutes)
Purpose: For the team to share their accomplishments and to
raise any concerns.
Participants: Team members including Product Manager, UX
Designers, Testers (All others should be "invited") but ideally
limit it to the immediate team members.
Tips: (1) Talk about What you “accomplished” yesterday and
today (2) Ask for help or offer help (if available) (3) If you don’t
have any impediments offer an “insight” (new information to
share) (4) Stand Up is an opportunity to knowledge share with
your team members, it’s not meant to report a status to
managers.

7. Daily Stand Ups - Continued
● Set up “sit downs” or “side bars” if a topic needs to be discussed.
● Everyone contributes. i.e. - new team members can share “what
they learned yesterday”, “what they plan to learn today”, and any
challenges.
● Leadership share metrics (i.e share burn up, burn down, lead
time, cycle time at least ) and let the team decide if they need to
make any adjustments.
● At the end of each stand up, the team can establish a unique
close out (i.e. bang a gong, say a cheer “go team”, “all for one”) or
do a thumbs up (to indicate we feel we are in sync/on schedule
or a Fist of Five vote on progress toward sprint goals).

8. Backlog Refinement (1 - 4
Hours/Sprint)
Purpose: For the team to share and collectively identify what belongs in a
user story and to help find the gaps. The outcome is refined user stories
that are ready to be assigned to a sprint to be worked.
Participants: Team members including Product Manager, UX Designers,
Testers (All others should be "invited" as needed).
Tips: (1) A healthy backlog should have 2 - 3 sprints worth of stories in
the ‘ready’ state (2) The team should have an established Definition of
Ready (DOR) and Definition of Done (DOD) (3) Pre-Work or
“Prefinement” helps cut down long refinement and planning meetings. (4)
The task/subtask are not the focus, they should only be a part of the
discussion to help clarify the Level of Effort.

9. Backlog Refinement - continued
1. Raw stories should have rough acceptance criteria and the team
should have a period of time to preview and submit questions.
2. Refinement sessions are used to reconcile and capture the
agreed upon acceptance criteria.
3. When the team feels the AC is “good enough” then the team
votes on the relative size. During sizing it may become
necessary to vertically split/slice stories.
4. Business value can also be defined (optional).
5. Other Backlog Items (Refactor, Technical /Non-Functional
Stories, Spikes) may also come out of the Refinement Session.

10. Sprint Planning (1 Hour w/ Refinement)
Purpose: Is to define and commit to what can be delivered in the sprint.
The outcome is consensus on a commitment to the current sprint and a
forecast for the next two sprints.
Participants: Team members including Product Manager, UX Designers,
Testers (All others should be "invited" as needed).
Tips: (1) A prerequisite is that spikes have been resolved, the stories have
been estimated and the dependencies have been negotiated (2) Planning
has two parts: Part 1 - the Product Manager/Owner collaborates with the
team to outline the objective and goals; Part 2 - the team comes up with a
plan (3) Conclude the meeting with a Fist of Five to ensure there is team
consensus (4) Look ahead to determine that the backlog is “healthy,”
schedule refinement activities to get or keep the backlog healthy.

12. Sprint Review (1 Hours with Demo)
Purpose: Is an opportunity for the team to demo the sprint
accomplishments. The outcome is to determine if the solution is on
track and to get feedback to incorporate into future backlog items.
Participants: Team members including Product Manager, UX
Designers, Testers (Product Managers should Invite stakeholders)
Tips: (1) Display the Sprint Goals and then completely demo the
committed stories. (2) Encourage and capture feedback -
continuous improvement is a part of Agile (3) Demos do NOT have
to be polished (do not spend more than 1 hour prep) - It’s a
work-in-progress in line with Progressive Elaboration (4) Spike
outcomes/results/research conclusion.
12
copyright 2021 @ techexpressoconsulting.com
13. Sprint Review (1 Hour with Demo)
● At the conclusion of the demo, discuss (a) Is the solution on
track (functionality, scope and timeline)? (b) Have we reach
our objective/goal - are we done? Is it shippable / ready
for release? (c )Should we release this portion of the
solution? (d) What is the next most important thing with
the highest value functionality? (e) The team discusses and
reorders the backlog priorities based on any new
changes/enhancements.
● Remember to always target the least amount to achieve
the maximum value. Expect some stories to be descoped.
13
copyright 2021 @ techexpressoconsulting.com
14. Spontaneous Demos / Show and Tell
● Spontaneous Demo - throughout the sprint iterations the
development team should share impromptu/spontaneous demos to
share stories in progress to help ensure they are on the right track
and that the criteria has been correctly interpreted. The bigger or
more complex the story the more impromptu demos should be held.
● Sprint Demos - at the end of the demo this should include
stakeholders.
● Quarterly Show & Tell - this is typically to show a shippable
end-to-end part of the solution which includes work from multiple
teams/squads, domains and shared services. This is usually open for
all domains.
