Agile in a Nutshell
Do the simplest thing possible.
Do it well.
Don't be afraid of refactoring. Cost of refactoring is lower than cost of waste.
How can lean alleviate the overloading of qa
QA is all too familiar with this problem: Too much is dropped on QA at the end of a development cycle, causing a logjam, not enough time to sufficiently test. Where you have an agile environment or a more linear development methodology, this phenomenon can still occur – the last steps of the process are always at risk. What is Lean and how would it help? How do we know if it’s helping? And if all of that sounds good, how do we convince management to start being Lean, and how do we start?
Lean Portfolio Management
1. Defining a project backlog is easy, but prioritizing projects is difficult when an organization has multiple initiatives. Managing demand and ensuring the right resources are available is also challenging.
2. The document discusses using Lean planning methodology and tools to define a portfolio strategy, allocate resources to investment categories, and create a portfolio roadmap to prioritize projects.
3. The goal is to make data-driven decisions when prioritizing projects even if stakeholders value different outcomes, and to engage development teams in delivering outcomes, not just software.

19 Quotes on Leadership from Simon Sinek's Inbound 2014 Keynote "LEADERS EAT ...Fractl - Content Marketing Agency
The document summarizes key points from a Simon Sinek keynote talk about leadership and team dynamics. It discusses how trust between team members allows people to work together productively by releasing dopamine and serotonin, while distrust causes people to work against each other. It also explains that effective leaders create an environment where people feel safe and valued, which releases oxytocin and encourages hard work. Leaders prioritize people over metrics and sacrifice for their team to build strong relationships based on trust.Creating opportunities
This document provides career advice focused on creating opportunities by developing a personal brand and communicating value. It emphasizes that experience matters less than what one can do, and that standing out requires having a message and point of view supported by expertise, stories, and social proof. The key is demonstrating leadership by being a lifelong learner, applying knowledge in new ways, and showing how one adds value rather than just what was done. Interviews should involve sharing detailed stories and insights about how one will immediately benefit the company.

Capabilities vs Value: Simplifying Your Technology's Messaging
Capabilities vs Value: Simplifying Your Technology's MessagingBusiness Marketing Association (SoCal BMA)
If your company provides complex technical solutions with million-dollar price tags, then you know the struggle all too well: the long, expensive sales cycles and rapid commoditization.
Capabilities vs Value: Simplifying Your Technology's Messaging
As part of SoCal BMA's "The Leading Edge" executive signature series, this presentation was delivered by Carla Fitzgerald, Chief Marketing Officer, Smith Micro Software on February 18, 2015.
Unfortunately, in the fast and ever-changing tech industry, the innovations we are so proud of are fleeting, and can actually become a deficit for your messaging. Too much focus on advanced technology can cause us to miss the mark and alienate buyers -- like trying to sell “microwaves to cavemen.” We have been conditioned to provide every sort of competitive matrix and standards compliance checklist, only to further drive prospects into a state of analysis paralysis. And then we wonder why it’s taking so long for the customer to make a decision!
As business leaders in tech, we all run the risk of falling into the black hole of technology jargon, placing too much emphasis on architectures and feature sets -- and not enough on what buyers really care about: Value. Ask yourself:
- Does your organization spend hundreds of man-hours on RFIs/RFPs and technical presentations only to learn that your prospect chose an “inferior” competitor?
- How often is your sales team directed to “sell high” -- only to get pushed down by prospects to their technical evaluators?
- Are your website, marketing collateral and presentations focused on what your product does, instead of why it matters?
In her presentation Carla Fitzgerald addressed:
- The perils of getting caught up in the feature-comparison game
- Simple ways to determine if your messaging is overly complex
- The importance of “value” as the driver of both internal and external communications
It’s easy to fall into the technical jargon trap, and critical to avoid it if you want to gain trust and “buy in” from your customers and prospects. Whether you are responsible for message development as a marketing exec, or message delivery as a sales or business executive, this event is for you.

Agile Experience Design: Don’t Just Deliver: Delight!
The document provides an overview of experience design principles from ThoughtWorks consultants Marc McNeill and Lindsay Ratcliffe. It discusses the problems that can arise when focusing solely on agile development or UX work, and presents a solution framework called Agile Experience Design (AXD) that brings together business, creative, technology, and UX teams. AXD's process includes envisioning, evolving, delivering, showcasing, testing and learning, and improving. The document concludes with advice on applying AXD through research, design, specification, testing, collaboration, managing expectations, and continuous delivery.
Project selection and allocation in a nutshell
The document outlines a process for project selection, allocation of resources, and prioritization. It involves using several models: an investment model to allocate a fixed percentage of resources to strategic objectives, a sizing model to estimate project size, and a scheduling model to plan projects. Requests are ranked and prioritized using a model weighing factors like value, synergies, urgency and readiness. High priority projects are added to backlogs for objectives/products and allocated resources accordingly.
Contextual thinking and language
Take a large step backwards in order to see. Using words to describe ideas is limiting. Understand purpose and idea - and don't cling to words, structures, categories and definitions.
User stories primer - how to think differently about constructing stories
Writing user stories is more than just changing the format of the requirements. Think differently about the product and the user and keep ideas simple and independent.

The document provides an overview of experience design principles from ThoughtWorks consultants Marc McNeill and Lindsay Ratcliffe.

Project selection and allocation in a nutshell
The document outlines a process for project selection, allocation of resources, and prioritization. It involves using several models: an investment model to allocate a fixed percentage of resources to strategic objectives, a sizing model to estimate project size, and a scheduling model to plan projects. Requests are ranked and prioritized using a model weighing factors like value, synergies, urgency and readiness. High priority projects are added to backlogs for objectives/products and allocated resources accordingly.
Contextual thinking and language
Take a large step backwards in order to see. Using words to describe ideas is limiting. Understand purpose and idea - and don't cling to words, structures, categories and definitions.
User stories primer - how to think differently about constructing stories
Writing user stories is more than just changing the format of the requirements. Think differently about the product and the user and keep ideas simple and independent.
Establishing an enterprise common currency
This document discusses the need for businesses to establish a common "currency" to help with prioritization and alignment across different parts of the business. It gives an example of a business dealing with payments in multiple currencies from customers and suppliers. It then suggests businesses identify one or a small number of strategic goals to act as their common currency for a planning cycle, such as maximizing short-term profits, entering a new market, improving customer satisfaction, or improving delivery ability. Resources should be allocated and separated between different "investment centers" aligned with the strategic currencies. Establishing fewer common currencies helps align thinking and purpose, even if the specific measures need refinement.
QA's lead role in agile transformations
This document provides an overview of quality assurance and agile principles from the perspective of a QA professional. It discusses how QA's role is to influence both processes and people to build the right product. It emphasizes that people are more important than processes because people can change more easily. The document also notes that the Agile Manifesto echoes many of the principles of QA. It provides suggestions for how to build influence through finding shared values and goals, increasing knowledge, and learning both relevant and irrelevant topics. It encourages QA professionals to take a lead role in agile transformations rather than just sitting in meetings. It stresses the importance of showing value, even if that means taking a leap of faith at first to get others engaged.
What the business expects from agile
The document discusses what a business expects from an agile development team. The business expects to be able to prioritize work and make commitments based on development estimates. It expects proper resourcing and contingency budgets. The business also expects change to be controlled and regular communication focused on problem solving. The development team should focus on delivering working software that provides business value in each iteration.
