This document discusses agile planning techniques. It explains that agile planning focuses more on planning than the plan and encourages change. Velocity-driven and commitment-driven sprint planning approaches are described. When planning on fixed-date or fixed-scope contracted projects, the document recommends expressing estimates as ranges based on historical velocity data to account for uncertainty.
L0001 - The Terminology of the Eclipse PlatformTonny Madsen
This is a basic walk-through of all the central concepts of the Eclipse platform and how these fit together. The primary goal of this module is to establish a common terminology.
Продуктовая Аналитика — Карго Культ в современных компанияхEvgeny Kuryshev
В условиях быстрой разработки становится более важным и более сложным такой вопрос: если мы можем менять вектор развития продукта очень часто и умеем жить с изменяющимися требованиями, то как понять что мы рационально используем эту возможность, не прыгаем вперёд-назад, а остаемся сфокусированными в своём развитии продукта?
Тут, разумеется, есть куча инструментов и практик lean практики get out of the building, традиционная продуктовая аналитика и, конечно, всеми любимые A/B тесты.
Но многие бросившись использовать всё это внезапно понимают, что получившиеся процессы больше напоминают карго культы: A/B тестирование красных против зеленых кнопок на страницах где 100 человек в день с конверсией в 5% делают какой-то экшн. Или обвешивание счётчиками Google Analytics всех элементов интерфейса, который используют 3 человека в день. Или мы идем в гости к своим друзьям, чтобы узнать их мнение о новом дизайне, забывая о том что наши друзья совсем не репрезентативны.
С какими проблемами мы сталкивались, как мы разочаровались в этих практиках, успели их возненавидеть и как обратно поверили и полюбили эти и другие подходы развития и эволюции продук

Scrum is about Teams producing Results in an agile way. Scrum Teams achieve results anyway they can by using a simple set of rules to guide effort. We will describe scrum as a simple applied model so that a central understanding of scrum can be built. This talk will conclude with a Quick Summary of Scrum.

You probably know what is iteration Zero.
Everybody uses this term but a few can define it clearly. Some use it to designate a special time for building infractructure, others as an iteration for assembling a team and sharing a product vision or elaborating initial requirements. Still, you can hardly get a clear explanation how to do your iteration Zero.
We in ScrumTrek have been helping organizations to adopt Agile for more that 5 years. Our understanding of iteration Zero has evolved over time and now we understand it as a time for a team, bussiness and other stakeholders to investigate collaboratively a product that they are going to build.
Join our session to learn about our experience and practices for iteration Zero. You will see how we do product/project analysis and create product vision and backlog. We will be talking about practices for helping a team to start their first iterations and discuss how to involve stakeholders into collaborative work.
And, what is more important, how to box it into just one iteration.
What kind of team we can call a good team? Good team (incl P.O.) delivers right features to their customers. If features are wrong, or they are delivered too early you can failure your product or project.
PDA Newton has been released to the market too early and failed. Market was not ready for it. There are some other typical mistakes. For example, sometimes we are not able to understand our customer or hit wrong segment of the market.
This workshop will show how to use Innovation Games ® play with customers to understand their value, and use this information to effectively prioritize and release the feature they want and when they want.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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).

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
