monsieurgaufrette

The document discusses ways to improve people's experience with public transportation. It explores how people currently feel about commuting and waiting for vehicles. Most people spend 1-2 hours commuting each day and feel limited by transportation schedules. The document proposes combining maps and tickets on cell phones to help people better understand where they are and how to reach their destination. It suggests displaying maps and landmarks in transportation vehicles so people can visualize their location as they travel. Improving people's interaction with time and place during commuting could enhance their experience and motivation to use public transportation more.

SAFe City Workshop: Portfolio & Program Prioritisation In Practice

Martin Burns

Don Reinertsen’s fully quantified Cost of Delay model for prioritising backlogs sourced from many stakeholders is inspired, but many organisations struggle with implementing it and abandon attempts to have a rational discussion about value because “it’s too hard to quantify in real money”. And often, it is hard to forecast real money, and other factors such as Risk really do play a part in understanding value. This simulation provides a concrete model that enables exploration of a practical CoD prioritisation and sequencing model (based on the version used in SAFe) and an experience of operating it in a group setting.

Fair Trade Store Business Plan

Fred Sconberg

The document provides a business plan for The Fair Trade Store, a student cooperative that would purchase and sell crafts, garments, and food from poor producers in developing countries according to Fair Trade principles. The plan outlines the need to support millions living in poverty globally, as well as the opportunity to provide income to college students through jobs at The Fair Trade Stores on college campuses. The stores would remove middlemen, increase producer incomes, and educate students about Fair Trade while raising funds for community development projects.

Transformation by Invitation

Martin Burns

Have you ever noticed that whenever you push a system to change, it pushes back? All these scenarios are common when we seek change in an organisation. And yet change does happen, all around us, often welcomed by those closest to it - ask most new parents. How do we engage people in change? What are the factors that generate change resistance? Let's reset our understanding of change, inviting those most affected to be our co-creators and leaders.

10 Years of Big Room Planning

Martin Burns

The document discusses big room planning (BRP), which is a planning method used for mid-range planning of product delivery across multiple teams. BRP involves co-locating teams for 2 days to establish a shared vision, context, and plan that accounts for adjustments, risks, dependencies, and gains commitment from participants. When used at scale for an entire product delivery organization, BRP leads to better, more reliable plans created faster with happier participants who are more committed to execution.

Martin Burns

This document discusses prioritization and the cost of delay. It begins with brainstorming experiences with prioritization and then discusses using an economic view of prioritization to minimize cost of delay. It introduces the concept of weighted shortest job first (WSJF) as a method to sequence jobs based on business value, timing criticality, opportunity enablement, and risk reduction relative to job size or duration. The document then describes a simulation activity where participants evaluate features using these WSJF factors to determine priority. It concludes with reflections on takeaways around challenging traditional prioritization approaches.

Martin Burns

The document appears to be a transcript from a presentation by Martin Burns on developing a mindset for software development. Some of the key points discussed include focusing on outcomes over outputs, understanding the purpose and value of work, embracing change and continuous learning, and using an experimental mindset to discover solutions through hypothesis, prediction and observation. The presentation emphasizes connecting work to customer impact and solving problems over delivering features.

Unlocking Excellence with Agile Metrics

Martin Burns

This document discusses using agile metrics for continuous improvement. It begins with an introduction to the speaker and outlines some common pitfalls to avoid with metrics like manipulation of data and overreliance on a single metric. It then discusses organizing metrics around outcomes at different levels and providing context for measurement. Specific metrics are proposed for measuring adoption, operations, productivity, predictability, employee satisfaction and steering at the team, program and portfolio levels. It emphasizes focusing on consistency, delivering value, and occasionally reviewing data historically rather than just averages. The presentation concludes by soliciting feedback on the return on time invested in the session.

Push It Down

Martin Burns

This document discusses the challenges of managing complex systems and the need for autonomy and alignment. It argues that traditional 20th century management approaches focused too much on prevention, detailed planning and control, which hinders adaptation. Instead, organizations should push decision making authority down while maintaining clear goals and vision. The presenter provides examples where giving frontline teams more autonomy led to faster, higher quality decisions. The closing reflection notes that successful examples often involved volunteers, so commercial organizations may face additional challenges in applying these principles.

Plumbing for Profit

The document advocates for reducing queues, batches, and wait times to improve productivity and flow.

Plumbing for Profit

Martin Burns

This document discusses strategies for improving flow efficiency in software development processes. It begins by explaining that queues create inefficiencies like long cycle times and increased risk. It then presents "Little's Law" which shows the relationship between lead time, queue length, and throughput. The document recommends measuring and reducing queues to improve flow. Finally, it identifies three key strategies to improve flow efficiency: increasing flow efficiency before resource efficiency, removing bottlenecks, and reducing batch sizes.

Independence and Centralisation: Power Structures in Delivery Organisations

Martin Burns

A hugely interesting outcome of the Independence Referendum has been the growth in interest in questions that previously only attracted political geeks of the wide staring eyed variety. The rise in political interest has allowed us to reimagine what kind of country should Scotland be, and how closely should it be adapted to its context, and a conscious seeking of models that might serve as inspiration to what Scotland could be, regardless of the referendum outcome.

Lightning Talk: This Is The Sound of All Of Us

Martin Burns

This is the sound of all of us Singing with love and the will to trust Leave the rest behind it will turn to dust This is the sound of all of us The Wailin' Jennies - One Voice Often we talk about the power of small, self-organising groups of people, working collaboratively. Lyssa Adkins gives a beautiful example of a string quartet in her powerful book on coaching on how the quartet members work together and communicate constantly throughout a performance. Some of the most powerful music of the last century has come from pairs of writers and performers working intimately together - George and Ira Gershwin. Lennon and McCartney. Simon and Garfunkel. But music, like software, often seeks to deliver work at a larger scale and with more complexity than a single, self-organising team can manage. And seeks to do so with unpredictable skill levels of the performers. What lessons can music teach us about the problems and potential workarounds of scaled delivery of creative work? Using more musical examples than deserve to fit in 10 minutes, Martin Burns brings 40 years of musical experience and formal education from his first career to bear on the problems of his current day job.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications. A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function. Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions. Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc. Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
