Agile software development values individuals, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change over processes, documentation, contract negotiation, and following a plan. The key principles are satisfying customers through early delivery, welcoming changing requirements, frequent delivery of working software, business and developers working daily together, trusting motivated individuals, face-to-face communication, working software as the primary measure, sustainable development, technical excellence, simplicity, self-organizing teams, and continuous improvement. Agility means effective communication and responsibility to profit from change, and agile processes are driven by customer requirements, adapt to changes, deliver software iteratively, and adapt continuously. Major agile methodologies include Scrum, DSDM, Crystal Methods, FDD,
Lean Implementation of Organizational Process Focus (OPF) and Risk Management...aamahdys
Wrong implementation of CMMI, an implementation that leads to appraisal satisfaction regardless of the values and benefits that CMMI intends to provide, is the worst thing you may ever give to your business or organization. In our experience with Agile CMMI organizations, we found that the agile concept implicitly enhances the correct and valuable implementation of some CMMI process areas such as Integrated Project Management, Decision Analysis and Resolution, Measurements and Analysis, Organizational Process Focus, Risk Management and others. There is a direct relationship between some agile practices and CMMI process area specific practices, the goal of combining both is that CMMI controls and manages the processes more than Agile but Agile ensures providing the value and flexibility to CMMI processes, and force the implementer to think of the value before taking any action. This paper focuses on two CMMI process areas only which are Organizational Process Focus (OPF) and Risk Management (RSKM) and explains how to make their implementation lean in agile environment by providing some proven practices that add more values to the business of an organization. Moreover, the paper provides a model of thinking before implementing CMMI in agile environment. We selected two process areas from different categories; OPF section gives you an initial thought on how to easily implement Integrated Project Management (IPM) and RSKM gives you an initial thought on how to easily implement Measurements and Analysis (MA).

This presentation focuses on an exercise the helps us understand emergent design, iterations (if you only touch it once, you are not iterating), teamwork and operating from high-level requirements. This is based on cross-functional, self-organizing teams and overlapping development phases that are the roots of Scrum
Agile is an iterative approach to project management and software development that helps teams deliver value to their customers faster and with fewer headaches. Instead of betting everything on a "big bang" launch, an agile team delivers work in small, but consumable, increments.

Butch Landingin, CTO of Orange & Bronze Software Labs, talks about the Agile Methodology for the Philippine Software Industry Association's Enablement Seminar on April 27 at the AIM.
About O&B:
Orange & Bronze is an offshore product and software development firm in the Philippines, is one of the first companies in Asia to use and advocate Agile Software Development, and has been using it since our inception in 2005, back when Agile was still an emerging movement. O&B offers training courses for Agile with Scrum and XP - these classes were developed and are taught by some of the Philippines' well-known and respected Agile / Scrum coaches and practitioners, and uses the format trusted by some of the best companies in the Philippines.
True agility is realized when organizations embrace coaching. Changing terms and sending some members off to training is not enough to really change the organizational mindset. This presentation focuses on how to create a mindset of future coaches.
Qu'est-ce donc que l'Agilité déjà ?
Quelle est la différence avec Scrum ?
Je fais quoi avec mon Gantt ?
Est-ce que le Web est un bon candidat ?
Pourquoi est-ce que je vis autant de difficultés ?
Par où dois-je commencer ?
Cette introduction (ou ré-introduction) vise les vendus et les désabusés, les initiés et les nouveaux intéressés. C'est un rafraichissement sur l'agilité qui permettra de faire un petit pas en arrière et mieux préparer les prochains. Pour certains, ce sera un retour sur les fondements de l'agilité et pour d'autres ce sera la satisfaction d'une curiosité qui perdure. Avec plus de dix ans d'expérience, l'agilité a maturée mais pourquoi reste-t-elle difficile à maitriser ?

A Learning Setting Based on Competitions for Agile Software Engineeringdcsunu
In learning, competitions are used for years in applications of robotics because of the increased learning efficiency. Likewise, competitions can be used as learning catalyzers in software engineering. In this work, a graduate-level course in software engineering is flourished with a learning setting based on competitions. The course relies on teaching agile software engineering methodologies. A project is implemented using an agile methodology because of the preparation of the students to the real world. From the software engineering point of view, software development should be learned by the students by experiencing the entire development life cycle. From the business point of view, the students should learn to take roles in software development by experiencing teamwork and collaboration, and they should be ready for the software development issues of real life. Competition-based learning supports these two points of view by increasing teamwork, creating self-motivation, and by simulating today’s fast-changing environments. In short, learning efficiency is increased for a course of agile software engineering using a competition-based learning setting by adapting a problem from mathematics.

All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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.

2. Agile Manifesto
• http://www.agilemanifesto.org/
• Values:
– 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. Principles behind the Agile Manifesto
• Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer
through early and continuous delivery of valuable
software.
• Welcome changing requirements, even late in
development. Agile processes harness change for
the customer's competitive advantage.
• Deliver working software frequently, from a
couple of weeks to a couple of months, with a
preference to the shorter timescale.
• Business people and developers must work
together daily throughout the project.
4. Principles behind the Agile Manifesto
• Build projects around motivated individuals. Give
them the environment and support they need, and
trust them to get the job done.
• The most efficient and effective method of conveying
information to and within a development team is face-
to-face conversation.
• Working software is the primary measure of progress.
• Agile processes promote sustainable development.
The sponsors, developers, and users should be able to
maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
5. Principles behind the Agile Manifesto
• Continuous attention to technical excellence
and good design enhances agility.
• Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount
of work not done--is essential.
• The best architectures, requirements, and
designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
• At regular intervals, the team reflects on how
to become more effective, then tunes and
adjusts its behavior accordingly.
6. What is Agility?
• Agility may be characterized by the two
concepts: communication and responsibility.
• Agility is the ability to both create and
respond to change in order to profit in a
turbulent business environment.
• Turbulent environments are suitable for agile
developments.
• Problems characterized by change, speed, and
turbulence are best solved by agility.
7. What is Agility?
• Effective (rapid and adaptive) response to
change
• Effective communication among all
stakeholders
• Drawing the customer onto the team
• Organizing a team so that it is in control of the
work performed
8. An Agile Process
• Is driven by customer descriptions of what is
required (scenarios)
• Recognizes that plans are short-lived
• Develops software iteratively with a heavy
emphasis on construction activities
• Delivers multiple ‘software increments’
• Adapts as changes occur
9. Major Agile Development
Methodologies
• Scrum
• Dynamic Systems Development Method
(DSDM)
• Crystal Methods
• Feature-Driven Development (FDD)
• Lean Development
• Extreme Programming (XP)
• Adaptive Software Development (ASD)
