The document discusses how wicked problems are common in IT projects like SharePoint deployments. It describes how achieving a shared understanding of problems is important but difficult. Issue Mapping and its structured approach to collaboration is presented as a key tool to help groups develop shared understanding and tackle wicked problems more effectively. Integrating Issue Mapping outputs with SharePoint is also presented as a powerful combination for project management.
UXPA2019 Forging Alliances with Project Management: A PM’s View of UXUXPA International
It is critical for Design and Project Management to be true collaborators in getting things done. This session aims to help UX practitioners advance their careers and be more successful in collaborating with individuals with different motivations and mindsets, and who often speak a different language. The session shares insights on Project Management and offers ways that the UX profession can help business understand the strategic value of Design within the enterprise.
The majority of the world’s enterprises still operate projects in a “traditional” sense. Project Managers are eager to learn more about Design (e.g. managing innovation), but frequently harbor trepidation or misunderstanding of UX and are unsure how to incorporate Design on their projects.
Join this session to learn how the strategic partnership between Design and Project Management can evangelize UX as a force for change and innovation and help PMs operate in a more flexible, discovery-driven world.
All these moments will be lost in time: the web, the future, and usSally Lait
As web professionals we’re used to hearing about the virtues of shipping fast and iterating regularly in order to meet changing needs, but how do we ensure that the projects that we’re planning now are still as relevant and robust when they launch in the future... and beyond? How do we prepare for the unknowns and constant shifts in technology; what can we do to progress the evolution of the web itself; and how do we, as individuals, ensure that our skills are as relevant as ever in this rapidly changing world?
In this talk we’ll look at past visions of the future, what we can learn from these lessons, and how to apply this in a practical sense to the work that we do.

[Mini-Workshop] Content Architecture: Where Humans and Machines AgreeAndrea L. Ames
Andrea's Information Development World mini-workshop
http://informationdevelopmentworld.com/speakers/andrea-ames/
Handout: https://www.slideshare.net/aames/handout-for-miniworkshop-content-architecture-where-humans-and-machines-agree
If there’s one thing about content on which humans and machines can agree, it’s consistency — particularly architectural consistency. Often the format, markup language, or content management approach that you use is far less relevant than the output of the content—the deliverables, themselves—in the success of content for both humans and machines. This is somewhat controversial, as much of the discussion of “structured content” dives directly to the underlying format—even though the architecture and design of the resulting experience and content within that experience should be driving those more technical decisions.
Arguably, the most critical aspect of structured content—“the architecture”—drives the success of the content for people and machines. The pitfalls of leaping directly into a technology discussion—about XML, content management systems, etc.—vs. spending the right time and focus on design can often lead to significantly less successful content, rework, and additional cost.
Attend this mini-workshop with Andrea Ames to better understand content modeling at the deliverable and experience level—not at the individual article or topic level. You’ll learn about an approach for accomplishing great content architecture (one that can save time, reduce costs, and help you use your limited resources wisely). And, you’ll discover the steps you’ll need to follow in order to successfully create—and validate—your own content modeling approach.

Developing Digital Mindsets - Fiona Phillips (ThoughtWorks Live)Thoughtworks
The modern digital era demands a more responsive and insight-driven approach to the way we run our business, with technology becoming more and more at the heart of value creation. It requires technology and business leaders to let go of their job titles and bring their domain expertise together to remain relevant in today's complex adaptive system.
Very few people come ready with the complete package required for digital transformation, so how do you develop the right skills and mindset to develop digital leadership within yourself and across your teams?

Which way is right? They all are. This talk untangles what these movements, mindsets, and approaches mean, and helps teams and leaders to choose the right bits at the right times, and bring it all together into one big happy collaboration.
There has been a lot of interest about Agile in recent years, mainly due to the success in the IT industry; however there is a lot of interest in applying the Agile methods to other types of environment, not just IT.
This conference uncovered some of the myths around Agile, discussed how Agile can be scaled to large complex projects, looked at case studies, talked about Lean Agile and fed back what governments think about Agile.
The presentations sparked some interesting debates, even between the speakers, but soon some common themes started to emerge from each of the presentation.
Agile is not a methodology – it is a way of thinking. There are Agile methods, ranging from project management methods to software development methods but the agile manifesto, which was mentioned almost be every speaker, does not actual prescribe anything.
Being agile is not an excuse to avoid doing things, like planning and risk management. Being agile has a lot of parallels to Lean – you do what needs to be done, no more and no less.
Agile is not new, Julius Caesar used agile, he just did not call it agile. There are a number of companies and projects who are agile, but did not realise it and jumped on the band wagon when a name was given to their behaviour.
Agile is about giving your customer what they want, regardless of what it says in the contract - they have the right to change their minds. Agile is about people and collaboration, not the processes or tools although these do help to be more agile.
After lunch, we had a presentation from Project Place and learnt about their latest collaboration tools, including KANBAN boards. The idea is not new, Toyota have been using them for decades, but they have been given a new digital face lift.

Customer Experience driven services and productsCathy Wang
There are many KPIs to determine the success of a product, and customer experience plays a pivotal part in that. Understanding the customer journey allows companies todevelop new services. Customer experience can be the main driving force in shaping the product and innovating services.
In this session, we take a look at what customer experience means and why focus on it. Understanding the shift in customer behaviour in order to adopt to it. What are the ways and steps to use customer insight in driving better products / services?
JAM Session™ - Experience Your RequirementsOneSpring LLC
We share how we use visualization to gain requirements clarity *now* when working with clients on their project requirements. Traditional methods provide for requirements clarity much too late - when it's cost or time prohibitive. We show how using the power of visualization and our Stream Process™ we have saved our clients a tremendous amount of time and money. While each project is unique, our approach has reduced requirements-related defects by up to 90% and saved overall project costs by up to 50%. We have also helped to launch projects up to 35% faster and with more features than when following a traditional requirements process.

The incumbent’s playbook for launching a vertical SaaS product (Directions EM...Martin Karlowitsch
Presentation held at Directions EMEA 2017 in Madrid.
Been on the market for decades? Living from upfront license revenues and services that you sell alongside? Think of developing a SaaS product, but not sure where to start? Think of building a vertical Microsoft Dynamics 365 SaaS app/product? Come and join me, and I will share my experiences with you from building www.just-plan-it.com on Azure and integrate it with Dynamics 365. I will provide real life experiences, share tips and tricks, books to read and tools to use on that journey. My purpose is encouraging you to go the SaaS development route as you as an incumbent have a huge advantage over funding series driven start-ups: you know your market and have you a sustained cash flow to finance growth. In essence, I will cover the following questions:
1) How to identify and validate market demand?
2) What the heck is an MVP (minimum viable product) and how can it help?
3) How can I easily start the inbound lead generation journey?
4) How to organize development to stay at the “pulse of the market”?
5) How to measure and manage initial success?
6) Why is user onboarding so crucial and difficult?
7) How to prepare for scale?
Business is always in a constant state of flux- more so these days, with disruption happening all around. How do you move from your AS IS state to TO BE architecture in your enterprise transformational journey? What mix and match of people, processes and technology will you blend together, and in what proportion, to drive enterprise value to deliver transformational results? TOGAF has a suite of tools that can help architects to chalk out the architectural roadmap for enterprise success. This talk will also focus on how agility is an underlying thread in this framework, and how value is delivered incrementally, making the process robust and
bankable.
Key Takeaways
Exposes the audience to the features of TOGAF which help plug business technology gaps.
How TOGAF has agility at its core to drive transformational results.
Why it is a good skill and knowledge for a seasoned IT professional to have in their kitty.
Making Support Fun & Profitable: DrupalCon Portland Anne Stefanyk
After the site launches and the project is over, there are two paths: developers and project managers can shake client's hands, pat backs, and all head our separate ways. Or we can continue to build a relationship - continue being a part of our client's success. Strong long-term relationships benefit clients by providing trust and security, like a familiar mechanic or the barber we have had since we were a kid. As merchants, we also benefit. Happy clients mean referrals and recurring income.
Offering support is a different type of commitment, requiring a different strategy. A dev shop becomes a different type of service provider, and needs to prepare for great execution. This session will cover the why, how, and when of offering support, as well as exchange ideas about the many aspects: selling, marketing, staffing, delivering and monitoring support for Drupal.
Appealing to both the technical and non-technical, topics include:
- How to determine what type of support your clients need
- Organizing support requests, working within budgets and architecting timelines
- Workflow tactics and tools we love
- How to audit a site, understand it, and help it grow
- Best practices for your support development workflow
- Developer notes from the trenches- what you should know and look for
Come hear different perspectives on support and join the conversation!
Abstract:
More and more organizations are realizing that in order to achieve business agility they need to go beyond implementing agile in specific teams/projects. Real agility requires scaling agile to the program/portfolio/enterprise level. In this session we will explore the options organizations have when looking to scale agile, with an emphasis on SAFe(tm) - the Scaled Agile Framework - one of the most popular options these days.
Learning Objectives:
• When does it make sense to Scale Agile
• What are the leading scaling approaches
• An introduction to SAFe's Big Picture and implementation configurations
• How to implement SAFe - The Implementation Roadmap
• Typical Results of implementing SAFe
• Key risks/red flags to be aware of when implementing SAFe
The activity of using methods, skills and tools to understand user engagement with a website is called a UX Audit.
Even in case this was done at the time of website development, it could not have included future traffic behaviour or change in design trends and optimisation techniques.
Per this article on Forbes, every dollar invested in improving UX has multifold returns. Good design is just good business.
Genuine agility at scale through LeSS Product Ownership - April 2018Rowan Bunning
Scrum is too often seen as a way for development to deliver faster without concern for agility, customer value optimisation or learning. Whilst there may be a role called “Product Owner”, it may be subordinated to little more than a team-centric SME taking orders from stakeholders and feeding “stories” to a team. In this session, we explore how the LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum) guidance on the Product Owner role can be used to address these problems and achieve scalable agility at a whole of customer-centric product level, no matter how many teams contribute.
Learning objectives:
- Recognise the limitations that you may be experiencing with the Product Owner implementation at your organisation
- Be aware of well proven patterns for scaling the Product Owner role to endeavours involving dozens or hundreds of people
- Be equipped to have an informed conversation about how your organisation can increase agility at scale.

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.

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.
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.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

There is no definitive statement of “The Problem.” It is a moving target. “they don’t know what they want”The problem is composed of an evolving set of interlocking issues and constraints. Each attempt at creating a solution changes the understanding of the problem. Therefore, the information needed to understand the problem depends on one’s idea for solving it …In order to describe a wicked problem in sufficient detail, one has to develop an exhaustive inventory for all the conceivable solutions ahead of timeA number of designers participated in an experiment in which the exercise was to design an elevator control system for an office building. All of the participants in the study were experienced and expert integrated-circuit designers, but they had never worked on eleva-tor systems before. Indeed, their only experience with elevator systems came from riding in elevators. Each participant was asked to think out loud while they worked on the problem. The sessions were videotaped and analyzed in great detail. The analysis showed, not surprisingly, that these designers worked simultaneously on understanding the problem and formulating a solution. They exhibited two ways of trying to understand the problem: efforts to understand the requirements for the system (from a one page problem statement they were given at the beginning of the session); and mental simulations (e.g. “Let’s see, I’m on the second floor and the elevator is on the third floor and I push the ’Up’ button. That’s going to create this situation....”).
Wicked problems have no stopping rule… because (according to Proposition 1) the process of solving the problem is identical with the process of understanding its nature. You can always try to do better as your understanding grows. This leads to the presumption that additional investment of effort might increase the chances of finding a better solution. You cannot prove that all solutions have been consideredThere are no criteria which enable one to prove that all solutions to a wicked problem have been identified and considered There are so many factors and conditions, all embedded in a dynamic social context, that no two wicked problems are alike. Various stakeholders will have differing views of acceptable solutions. It is a matter of judgment as to when enough potential solutions have emerged and which should be pursuedSolutions differ based on interests, values and ideology of participantsJudgements on the effectiveness of solutions are likely to differ widely based on the personal interests, value sets, and ideology of the participants. Since there are no unambiguous criteria for deciding if the problem is resolved, getting all stakeholders to agree that a resolution is ‘good enough’ can be a challenge. Sox clearly to me has been a failure in its intent, given the global financial crisis, but many would argue against my assertionSome would say that SOX not working is regulation not working and argue for lessSome would argue for more
The existence of a discrepancy representing a wicked problem can be explained in numerous ways. The choice of explanation determines the nature of the problems resolution."You might say that everybody picks an explanation of a discrepancy which fits their intentions best" Every wicked problem can be considered to be a symptom of another problemAs you investigate problem causes, there is a tendency to discover that the current problem is the symptom of a larger problem. The level at which a problem ’settles’ cannot be decided on logical grounds. Rittel implies here that this characteristic makes phase-based problem solving as described in the first characteristic. "Marginal improvement doesn’t guarantee overall improvement. For examine, computerisation of an administrative process may result in reduced cost, But at the same time it becomes more difficult to incur structural changes in the organisation, because technical perfection reinforces organisational patterns and normally increases the cost of change." There is no immediate and no ultimate test of a solution to a wicked problemNo opportunity to learn by trial and error. Any solution, after being implemented, will generate waves of consequences that may yield utterly undesirable repercussions which outweigh the intended advantages. Stolen generation example
Buzzword abuse – buzzword by definition has ambiguous meaning. Combine this with social fragmentation, you can see how a wicked problem is in the making...Where is “intranet”. I have had people insist to me that intranet and SharePoint are two different things.For example, “Document Management” is missing – is it content management or collaboration? Where is the cloud?
Trying to boil the ocean is a symptom of a low maturity who thinks they can suddenly jump to high maturity overnight. You will spend a lot of money & time and it will probably have a nice homepage but sorry – your still low maturity. The phrase “Boil The Ocean" describes an attempt at something that is way too ambitious, effectively impossibleUnclear strategy is often a symptom of the panacea effect. You know you have issues but the shared understanding and deeper structure of the issue has not been fleshed out. But that doesn’t stop the propensity to throw a tool at itEveryone assumes that their view of the world is right and everyone agrees with it. Note I deliberately stereotyped people in this example but in reality its more than tools that enamour some will not uniformly enamour someone else

4. This is a real problem, and the inevitable outcome from the “6 pillars” style marketing message that I showed earlier. There are many examples where trying to satisfy both requirements ends up working against the project and ends up with a watered down hybrid.5.

When you combine those factors, trying to isolate the root cause is often clouded by arguments over turf or debate over what the root cause of a performance problem is.

Issue Mapping frames things as issue-based rather than the conversational basis that we humans most often use, which favors dualistic (either-or) thinking, sloppy arguments, lack of evidence, tangents, implicit assumptions, skipped steps, bias, and over-simplification. Issue Mapping admits all viewpoints and offers a way of engaging and understanding an issue in a whole sense. The map holds competing views and contending actions in place visually, so that the brain can absorb the bigger picture and appreciate the validity and value of a larger perspective. Issue Mapping helps groups avoid jumping to easy answers or superficial conclusions, and promotes deeper reasoning, rigor, and even wisdomIssue Mapping can be used effectively for everyday business and personal decisions, but its potential is vast. Through the skillful use of questions an issue map has unlimited capacity to represent and clarify diverse points of view, conflicting interpretations and goals, inconsistent information, and other forms of complexity. Issue Mapping can even be applied to wicked problems ... if the politics of the situation allows for transparency, clarity, and rigor!

Yes it is better than before, but does this medium allow you to examine the deep structure of an issue and facilitate shared understanding.Rhetorical question: have you ever used a SharePoint meeting workspace to run a meeting on SharePoint planning or governance?It is a great “Shared Space”Single platform to bring information togetherPhilosophy of “use whichever medium suits your needs”Document LibraryWikiBlogListsWorklowWCMHowever it was never designed to specifically tackle “social complexity”
Wicked problems often have dozens of interrelated issues involved, but human short term memory is very limited, so unless one is extremely familiar with the all of the information related to all of the issues, the unaided exploration of these issues is confusing and error-prone. The power of IBIS as a notation is that it organizes all of the issues, positions, information, and assumptions so that all participants have the issue map as a point of reference
Issue Mapping is the process of crafting an issue map, a way of making critical thinking visible. An issue map is a graphical network that integrates many problems, solutions, and points of view and shows the deep structure of an issue.Issue maps can be sketched on paper, but larger issue maps are typically crafted using a software tool such as Compendium.
Issue Mapping does not replace SharePoint – it complements SharePoint extremely well. Once you understand your problem and move into solving it, SharePoint has the potential to come into its own.
