In many ways, the Agile Manifesto gives us a road-map and lays a firm foundation for efficient software development.
There are naysayers among those who swear by traditional methods; but these criticisms do not hold water because the
entire agile movement rests on robust methodologies and concepts. So what does this augur for the future? No one can
tell with certainty.
Agility encompasses believing and relying on one's ability to respond to unpredictable events, rather than banking on the
competence to indulge in pre-planning. At the end of the day, the methodologies remind us that even though we create
and work with software, the human element, and the resultant collaboration it enhances, is all too important in the larger
scheme of things.
Introduction to Agile Project Management and ScrumVoximate
Brief introduction to Agile Project Management and Scrum covering user stories, story points, use of Fibonacci sequence values for story points, release planning, sprints, capacity, velocity, sprint commit meetings, sprint review meetings, and burndown charts. Explains the importance of returning the product to a potentially shippable state at the end of each sprint to reduce the accumulation of technical debt and keep the assessment of project progress realistic. Summarizes the roles in Scrum of the Product Owner (who writes or facilitates the writing by customers of user stories), the ScrumMaster (who manages the Scrum), and the Team (who do the work). Discusses values and best practices in Agile/Extreme Programming ("XP") values. Explains daily standup meeting in which people share what they did yesterday, what they're doing today, and any blocking issues they're encountering. Summarizes common problems with waterfall project management including a serialized process, longer time to market, isolation of developers from customer needs, plans falling out of synch with reality, lack of visibility into rate of progress, features being slashed late in the development cycle to bring in release dates, long time to project completion, late feedback from customers, projects falling behind schedule, and projects missing their market window or being killed before launch. Summaries problems with monolithic product requirements documents including length, lack of readability, disconnection from customer needs, and lack of clarity about which features are for which customers.

Understanding Roles on an Agile ProjectKent McDonald
The ideal agile team is a self organizing, dedicated, cross functional group that has all the skills necessary to deliver a solution that solves their customer’s problem. As a result, the list of roles on an agile team is fairly short generally consisting of roles such as Scrum Master, Product Owner, and the Team. Given all that, many project managers wonder where they fit in. They may act as the Product Owner if they have the skill set and decision making authority to determine what the product should contain. They may become the Scrum Master if they are able to practice servant leadership and act as a coach and facilitator. They may become part of the team and help develop or test. They may focus on coordinating the efforts of multiple agile teams to support the broader goals of a large program. They may not be a good fit for an agile environment at all. Join Kent McDonald as he describes the Product Owner and Scrum Master roles in an agile environment and discusses the various ways that project managers can assess their skill sets and project characteristics to determine where they fit into the picture.

Agile software development has proven to be more successful than traditional methods. However there are many Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, Lean, XP). It is difficult to make a right choice.
Do you want to know the differences between Scrum and Lean? Perhaps you struggle with your existing Scrum implementation and looking for a better methodology. So did I. I spent many hours looking for continuous improvement beyond Retrospectives and Sprint Reviews. And I found my answer in applying Lean Principles.
This session will help you to increase your understanding of Lean and Scrum. It will also give you some practical examples of implementing Lean in Scrum teams.

The mission is simple - create organizations where human potential is maximized, everyone is engaged moving forward towards an aligned purpose. The community develops and facilitates a collection of management games, that help develop proactive self-organization and trust in any organization. These games, also called as management workouts are available for download via the management3.0 website.
Andrea Darabos, Lean Advantage is a Management 3.0 Trainer and Workshop Facilitator
Scrum is certainly not a foolproof framework as it does have its own set
of limitations; which is the reason why it may not be the best fit for
every team or product. There are other Agile and Lean approaches too,
like Kanban or XP.
Therefore, what is crucial is for us to comprehend that these current
shifts call for a dynamic and progressive outlook from developers and managers. The need of the hour is to utilize the benefits that a Scrum Master brings to the table, in terms of opening up team communication and problem solving techniques.
E-commerce came to existence more than two decades ago. It is still going strong. As per eMarketer,
worldwide e-commerce sales have already reached at $1.2 trillion almost a year ago. It is on the rise
with 16% Compound Annual Growth Rate and will continue with same rate till 2016. However over the
period, quite a few new developments and technologies has emerged in the area of e-commerce.
These new technologies and trends give confidence to consumer to adopt e-commerce way of
shopping. There are few aspects that have been regularly influencing e-commerce.
Agile software development is a group of software development methods in which requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams. It promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, continuous improvement, and encourages rapid and flexible response to change.
The Agile development model is also a type of Incremental model. Software is developed in incremental, rapid cycles. This results in small incremental releases with each release building on previous functionality. Each release is thoroughly tested to ensure software quality is maintained. It is used for time critical applications.

The question today isn't : Can we build this? - but should we build this?Frederik Vannieuwenhuyse
Summary: There are lots of reasons why products fail, but the number one reason remains the fact that we simply build something nobody wants.
Learning Objectives:
"Are we building the right thing? Our end-users can tell if we are building the “right” thing. But sometimes they do not know either. We are dealing with “know unknowns” and “unknown unknowns”.

“The hardest part of building any software system is determining precisely what to build.” – Fredrick Brooks.
Discovering exactly what customers, stakeholders, and sponsors want to create is often the most difficult part of product development. Getting everyone aligned can be fraught with misunderstanding and misinterpretation. Scrum starts with a product backlog, but how do you know that the development of the product supports the growth of your company?
Getting off on the right foot when starting an agile initiative can set you up for success. This presentation will outline a basic flow of light touch Discovery workshops as a way to start your agile product development engine.
This presentation assists individuals managing budgets on SCRUM, SAFe and Simplified Enterprise Agile (SeA) projects on how to break down costs, scheduling and forecasting associated with Agile teams, programs and portfolios.

Modern Agile – What's It Good For? - Jacob Creech - AgileNZ 2017AgileNZ Conference
The Agile Manifesto has been around since 2001 and, although the industry has rapidly developed, the principles still hold very true. However, there are lots of great new ideas that people have been experimenting with since the Manifesto was signed and, in this talk, attendees will hear about a few of these developments, focusing on the concept of Modern Agile.
About Jacob Creech:
Jacob started out in web development around 2000 and discovered that people constantly asked for things they didn't actually need, which led him on a journey of discovery that ended up in this thing called 'Agile'. He found himself in China helping develop virtual products for Second Life and then as the one and only non-Chinese person in a web development agency – good for language practice, not so much for delivering amazing work.
After some time back in New Zealand on a usability product among other things, he returned to China to co-found an Agile consulting company, worked with a variety of large, impressive-sounding international companies at a scale that would make most New Zealand cities look tiny, and managed to stumble into a range of interesting opportunities all around Asia that kept him busy for the next few years.
However, after some time, he got the itch to return to NZ and ended up at Assurity in late 2015 where he now heads up the Agile practice and works with government and non-government clients to deliver work in ever-improving ways. In his spare time, he (poorly) plays table tennis and enjoys naming babies after entrepreneurs.
We know clients' demands drive product development, which is precisely why a custom software development company can't afford to let processes and documentation slow down their time to market. Agile comes to rescue in these times and helps solve the problem by determining what clients need. It's all about working software over complicated documentation, getting stakeholders involved, getting customers on board, and being transparent about the process.
Scrum Overview for Agile Software Development. ... Scrum is a project management framework that is applicable to any project with aggressive deadlines, complex requirements and a degree of uniqueness. In Scrum, projects move forward via a series of iterations called sprints. Each sprint is typically two to four weeks long.
Imagine a mortgage loan that does not require monthly payments. A reverse mortgage (RM) is just the type of mortgage loan, which is reserved for older homeowners. Being a type of home equity loan, it is usually repaid after the borrower(s) moves out or expire(s). While it is often considered a last-resort source of income, RM has become a popular retirement planning tool for many homeowners. Check out this infographic to find the answers to some of the frequently asked questions on RM.
Considering that fact that IT has enabled SMBs to compete with big firms on equal terms, CRMs have been the key in this revolution. By helping small firms to manage their leads in better way, CRM solutions are helping SMBs to drive sales productivity. Sales personnel can now rely on CRMs to access all the essential details about the potential customers, which help them to increase conversion rate.

Every day, enterprises across the globe are engaged in two key activities: delivering effectual effects and building decisions that create impact. If you are in the big business of building enterprises that will be more valuable in future than present your decisions need to be driven by smarter data.
Companies today are witnessing a huge explosion in data availability - 90% of the world’s data was formed in the most recent years. Structured, semi- structured and unstructured data across internal business systems and external sources like social
media, market data and syndicated study are now creating an incredible opportunity to construct insights, therefore leading to intelligent decisions. However, as this data is generally available to an enterprise’s competitive set, only those who have a vision for
leveraging this intellect and are adept will eventually out-compete others.
A project manager supervises the planning and implementation of various activities in a business setting a project manager usually leads a team of employees and assists with setting goals, time limits and developing work flow charts and project plans. An individual in this arrangement should have both management and people skills as well as superior written and verbal communication skills.
Industries across the globe are burgeoning. Stiff
competition has permeated every stratum among
enterprises. To sustain themselves in such an environment,
companies are seeking new and improved methods by which
they can revamp their business and also their existing
production processes. With the emphasis firmly resting on the requirement for
more robust processes, companies are transforming their
project plans drastically. Now, the buzz and objective is to
move on to a more adaptive process that ushers in change
and provides results. Moreover, businesses need a process
that offers enhanced flexibility which can alter the very
nature of the process itself.
Over the past few years, the rise of mobile devices and the changes in media utilization that came along with it have arguably been the biggest drift in the tech world at least according to leading figures from U.S. tech companies, that trend isn't over yet. When queried what they expect to be the biggest drivers of their companies.
No business can exist in isolation. The need to delve deep into understanding customer behavior and trends has become all the more crucial in this age of Social Media omnipresence. A powerful tool, Social media analytics (SMA) is a veritable boon for
companies to unearth prevalent customer preferences by gathering and analyzing data spread throughout the Web, on diverse online platforms such as social media websites, blogs, photo and video sharing sites. This vast chunk of information enables businesses to gain valuable insights and proficiency; and helps them gauge the pulse of the market, which ultimately aids in converting information into robust actionable strategies.
The finance department is responsible for managing the company’s financial risks, financial planning and financial reporting. But is it in control? Does it have full control over your financial processes? Complete control over data feeds? Intelligent control on reporting?
Businesses need to ensure accurate and consistent financial close on time, every time. The best-in-class automation solution frees up time and resources to devote to more financial analysis, and reduces the overall stress on your finance department.
The recent explosion in the popularity of apps has seen more and more people set out to develop their own, and the technology behind them has changed as a result. The big technology companies which easily dominated the market in years past have had to become more competitive in order to keep up sales, while people with limited technical skills have sought out simple design modules to enable them to develop their ideas.
Mobile application development is a term used to denote the act or process by which application software is developed for handheld devices, such as personal digital assistants, enterprise digital assistants or mobile phones.
These applications can be pre-installed on phones during manufacturing platforms, or delivered as web applications using server-side or client-side processing (e.g. JavaScript) to provide an "application-like" experience within a Web browser.
E-commerce (also written as e-Commerce, eCommerce or similar variants), short for
electronic commerce, is trading in products or services using computer networks, such
as the Internet. Electronic commerce draws on technologies such as mobile commerce,
electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, Internet marketing, online
transaction processing, electronic data interchange (EDI), inventory management
systems, and automated data collection systems. Modern electronic commerce
typically uses the World Wide Web for at least one part of the transaction's life cycle,
although it may also use other technologies such as e-mail.
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the Internet. Cloud services allow
individuals and businesses to use software and hardware that are managed by third parties at remote locations. Examples of cloud services include online file storage, social networking sites, webmail, and online business applications. The cloud computing model allows access to information and computer
resources from anywhere that a network connection is available. Cloud computing provides a shared pool of resources, including data storage space, networks,
computer processing power, and specialized corporate and user applications.
All the new and improved Cloud-based contact center of today offer the latest facilities. They contribute to the phenomenal growth and revenue rates experienced by enterprises in different verticals. While contact channels rule the roost, the thrust and expectation from businesses and customers lies in increased automation.
Bootstrap is a free and open-source collection of tools for creating
websites and web applications and is one of the more revolutionary
technology offerings that have been developed of late. Its overwhelming
popularity is such that everyone, regardless of their position on the tech
learning curve, wants to try their hand at using this excellent front-end
framework which basically makes putting together a website from scratch a breeze! It is also doubles as a web application framework that is a software framework designed to support the development of dynamic websites and web applications.
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) has firmly positioned itself in the hugely promising Cloud market and is poised to take giant strides in the next couple of years and beyond. As a result of these significant developments; and also the fact that the global numbers of enterprises adopting IaaS are skyrocketing, the service is all set to become the fastest growing sphere of public cloud computing.

Developing Distributed High-performance Computing Capabilities of an Open Sci...Globus
COVID-19 had an unprecedented impact on scientific collaboration. The pandemic and its broad response from the scientific community has forged new relationships among public health practitioners, mathematical modelers, and scientific computing specialists, while revealing critical gaps in exploiting advanced computing systems to support urgent decision making. Informed by our team’s work in applying high-performance computing in support of public health decision makers during the COVID-19 pandemic, we present how Globus technologies are enabling the development of an open science platform for robust epidemic analysis, with the goal of collaborative, secure, distributed, on-demand, and fast time-to-solution analyses to support public health.
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.

2. Introduction
In February 2001, a group of 17 software developers met at the Snowbird resort in Utah to discuss lightweight
development methods. This grand association of knowledgeable minds later led to the publishing of the “Manifesto for
Agile Software Development”.
We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have
come to value:
Declaration of four core, guiding values of the Agile Manifesto by its authors
1
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
3. The Agile Manifesto can be broadly classified as
2
Individuals and interactions Self-organization and motivation are important, as are interactions like
co-location and pair programming.
Working software Working software is more useful and welcome than just presenting documents to clients in
meetings.
Customer collaboration Requirements cannot be fully collected at the beginning of the software
development cycle, therefore continuous customer or stakeholder involvement is very important.
Responding to change Agile methods are focused on quick responses to change and continuous
development.
Some of the authors formed the Agile Alliance, a non-profit organization that promotes software development
according to the manifesto's values and principles—introducing the manifesto on behalf of the Agile Alliance.

Agile Manifesto 12 Principles Explained
Customer satisfaction by rapid delivery of useful software Teams work together better when
they trust each other. It is common for tension to exist between the customer and the delivery team. When the
customer is satisfied by constant delivery of valuable software early rather than later, trust is built.
Welcome changing requirements, even late in development This principle will scare teams
who are used to Waterfall projects. At first glance, it seems odd to welcome change late in the development
process. First, we must be successful at implementing the first two principles in this section. If this is not happening,
welcoming change is impossible. "Late in development" means late in the release of the complete product.
Scrum delivers features in short sprints. We do not welcome changes in an in-process sprint. Because we are
delivering features in short cycles, change is part of the whole process. In Scrum, the change is directed by the
product owner. It is up to the product owner to understand what the competitive advantage is for each feature in
the backlog.

Working software is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months) It is important to
deliver software frequently. Scrum is built around this principle. Under Scrum, features are delivered in sprints of two
to four weeks, with a preference toward two weeks.
Close, daily cooperation between business people and developers The whole team needs
to be available to each other. Scrum uses the daily stand-up meeting as a critical communication mechanism.
Here, the team reports what was accomplished since the last meeting, what will be accomplished by the next
meeting, and whether there are any impediments to completing the features in the sprint. This meeting exposes
issues early so they can be addressed before they become critical.

6. 5
Projects are built around motivated individuals, who should be trusted This is an
extension of self-organizing teams. There are some important words in this principle. No one would ever admit to not
being motivated. The “servant leader” pays attention to the aspirations and goals of the team members and aligns
these goals with project needs wherever possible. People perform best when they are doing something they are
passionate about.
A good servant leader also shelters the team from outside distractions. In Scrum, a team commits to completing
a set of features. Anything that distracts from this is a risk. By being there for the team, the servant leader provides
them with the environment and support needed for success. Trust is not automatic but is built over time—and is
easy to lose. The team members must trust each other and be comfortable with conflict.

7. 6
Face-to-face conversation is the best form of communication (co-location) This principle
was authored before geographically separate teams were common. Today, with offshore teams and teams that are
divided across the country and the globe, regular face-to-face communication is often not possible. Online meetings
and instant messaging tools are available that improve communication when teams are separated. Meetings that
include the whole team may be planned so that face-to-face communication is possible.
This does add cost to the project, because portions of the team need to travel to a central location for the meeting.
This approach is helpful for important meetings like sprint and release planning. When offshore resources are used,
portions of the offshore team may be rotated to the U.S. for a period of time. This allows team members to interact
personally and get to know each other. It allows the offshore team to return home with firsthand experience that
helps the remote team gain valuable insight. This is often a win-win situation, because offshore team members look
forward to an experience in the U.S.

8. 7
Working software is the principal measure of progress Software must not only be valuable and
delivered often, it must be working or done. Scrum requires the features to meet a team-defined “Definition of Done”.
Ideally, this should mean that the feature is potentially shippable.
Sustainable development, able to maintain a constant pace Sponsors, developers, and users
should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely. As teams build trust and build and deliver software over and
over, a constant pace that is sustainable, without overtaxing anyone, will emerge. This allows the team to work
forever—or until enough value has been added to the product.
An important aspect of this is regular releases of a product. If a team can deliver a shippable product each quarter,
for example, it makes conversations with the customer much easier. The team learns that they ship every 12 weeks.
When a feature request doesn't fit into the current release, it is only a short wait till the next one.

9. 8
Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design We need to pay close
attention to technical excellence and design as our product evolves. There is a balance between "Building the right
thing" and "Building the thing right." We must also be wary of delivering fragile systems. If we make a few changes
and our application falls apart like a house of cards, we are not in a good place. Extreme Programming and, to some
degree, Scrum recommend test-driven development and automated builds as a way to avoid fragile solutions.
Simplicity—the art of maximizing the amount of work not done—is essential Agile is all
about doing the right amount of something at any given time, and no more. We should author user stories small
enough to get the job done and no more. We should build what we know we need now. We should not build some
huge framework we think we may need someday. It is critical to have a complete and thorough understanding of the
software frameworks we use. Code is evil, and we can eliminate quite a bit if we have a good understanding of our
chosen frameworks.

10. 9
Self-organizing teams The team knows the best way to get something done. They are the experts. However,
this does not mean the right outcome will happen on its own. Each individual is at a different place in his or her
personal growth and career. The term "servant leader" has emerged in the Agile community and replaced the typical
command-and-control project manager. Self-organizing teams do not happen automatically. They emerge under the
proper guidance and advice of a servant leader.
Regular adaptation to changing circumstance Scrum uses the retrospective for this purpose.
Teams often need help for this activity to be effective. People may be challenged when it comes to engaging in true
self-reflection. This is all part of the Agile journey. Each of the Agile principles are interrelated. The retrospective is the
perfect place for the team to reflect and improve. It is up to the ScrumMaster to elicit self-reflection. Once we have
identified areas for improvement, we need to really improve. If teams spend time reflecting and do not improve, they
see the retrospection as a waste of time.

In many ways, the Agile Manifesto gives us a road-map and lays a firm foundation for efficient software development.
There are naysayers among those who swear by traditional methods; but these criticisms do not hold water because the
entire agile movement rests on robust methodologies and concepts. So what does this augur for the future? No one can
tell with certainty.
Agility encompasses believing and relying on one's ability to respond to unpredictable events, rather than banking on the
competence to indulge in pre-planning. At the end of the day, the methodologies remind us that even though we create
and work with software, the human element, and the resultant collaboration it enhances, is all too important in the larger
scheme of things.
