Smart Ears: Social Media Monitoring for Strategic Business Decisions
The document discusses social media monitoring for strategic business decisions. It argues that social media monitoring should be proactive rather than reactive, by monitoring forums where customers discuss products and issues. It also claims social media monitoring can drive better business decisions by understanding customer terminology and preferences, verifying product decisions, and quickly responding to competitor activity. Finally, it notes social media monitoring requires thoughtful independent analysis alongside input from others, as well as dedicating sufficient time and using appropriate tools.

Leadership at Every Level: Practices for Aligned Autonomy
What does it mean to have leadership at every level of an organization? How do you create aligned autonomy in your team or organization? This talk connects the philosophy of intent-based leadership with practices that enable you to realize the benefits of aligned autonomy, regardless of where your name is in your org chart. By discovering virtual safety nets and vision balloons, you’ll learn how to pragmatically establish psychological safety and alignment of purpose, two of the core traits of high-performing teams.
How to Best Develop Requirements for SharePoint Projects
The document discusses best practices for developing requirements for SharePoint projects. It explains that requirements involve eliciting user needs through interviews rather than just gathering information. Requirements analysis maps user needs to technical requirements without getting paralyzed. The development process involves writing requirements in a document, validating them, and mapping them to solutions. The goal is to build the right solutions by clearly defining business needs and user requirements.
2019 Full-spectrum diversity: norms for inclusion and intersectionality by Ch...
Organizational diversity isn’t just about the attributes we can see. Every team is a near-infinite spectrum of its members’ needs, some of which we know about and a lot more we probably don’t (and might never). How do we create a safe, accommodating space for things we aren’t even aware of?
It’s possible. For our teams to reflect the diversity of our worlds, HR policies are necessary but not sufficient. Our teams can and should take concrete steps, large and small, to make ourselves more welcoming. You’re probably doing some of them already, so let’s talk about what works and how we can scale it out.
From stairs, ramps, and elevators to menu planning to planking and wall sits during meetings, we’ll discuss how to rethink our norms, retire our assumptions, ask the right questions without prying, and create space for our teammates to self-accommodate. You might never know the difference you’ve made, but your teams will be healthier and wiser for it.
Learning outcomes:
- Become constructively curious about the breadth of diversities that affect teams
- Learn several specific techniques for creating a more accommodating team environment
2019
This document discusses the role and activities of an organization within a startup ecosystem. It asks what the organization currently does, including what programs it runs to promote its goals. It considers whether the organization could do more, such as programs to strengthen different parts of the ecosystem and link them together. Examples of potential programs discussed are a talent exchange and an inn demand program. The document raises questions about how such programs could be implemented, whether the organization would run them itself or partner with others, how they would be funded, and how participation could be incentivized. It concludes by asking where the organization may be in five years.
devops - what's missing? what's next?
The document discusses how the concept of DevOps has evolved and what may come next. It argues that the game has changed in that organizations need to focus more on cultivating a culture of continuous learning and breaking down silos. To thrive in the future, organizations will need to become "learning organizations" by assessing their performance on dimensions like team learning, empowerment, and strategic leadership. They will also need to move beyond labels like "DevOps" and focus on cultivating sharing and growth in individuals. The key is becoming a learning organization that helps others learn as well.
Agile is a 4 letter word - dev nexus 2020
Based on a wide variety of surveys taken over recent years, many companies are transitioning to something that looks like Agile, whether they use that term or not. However, that transition doesn’t necessarily mean implementations have been done while respecting the Agile Manifesto and the principles behind it.

Product and Process innovation with Scrum
This document discusses product and process innovation using Scrum. It emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and feedback loops to constantly improve. It presents models for organizational change, including the Satir change model and the Cynefin framework for understanding complexity. It advocates establishing a sustainable pace through daily Scrums and regular iterations. The document suggests that organizations should systematically challenge the status quo by "debugging" organizational flaws or "bugs" that impede workflow, such as misaligned incentives, slow architecture processes, or lack of collaboration between teams. Overall it promotes adapting agile processes not just for software development but for organizational innovation.

The Open Manifesto: how to work smarter, supercharge collaboration and (maybe...CanadaHelps / MyCharityConnects
How do we get beyond "blah blah blah?" How can non-profits use the web to get more done -- instead of drowning in chatter, overload, and distraction? How do we empower our supporters to participate and engage in depth, instead of just talking at them? How do we use the web as a smart collaboration engine, instead of just another communications medium?
In this keynote presentation and discussion, Matt Thompson, Chief Storyteller for the Mozilla Foundation, will share what he's learned from successes and failures in the space. His new mantra -- "think small, do less, work open" -- is a six-word manifesto for organizations seeking smarter collaboration, greater focus and agility, and reduced mental clutter and transaction cost.
In a world of overflowing inboxes and shrinking attention spans, content is no longer king -- meaningful engagement and participation is. So what can we learn from how leading organizations are using open web tools and thinking to let their audiences in, tap greater human potential, and unlock hidden superpowers? Join us for a lively exploration into where the web is headed.

The Secret to Actually Producing Great Visual Storytelling
It's 2014 and there is no question that visual storytelling is an important tool in every marketer's tool belt. However, how to swiftly produce consistent, cost-effective and beautiful work is a lot less obvious. To arm you with the methods, resources and workflows you need to win at visual storytelling, we've asked marketer and data visualization pioneer Leslie Bradshaw to share her playbook. In her own words the session will deliver: Less hype. More do.
VISUAL STORYTELLING'S STEP TWO I.E., HOW TO ACTUALLY USE IT [INBOUND 2014]
Leslie Bradshaw gives a presentation on visual storytelling and outlines a 12 step process for creating visual content. The steps include customer research, identifying opportunities, testing prototypes, developing a creative brief, sketching/wireframing, copywriting, creating mood boards, combining design and copy, editing, and releasing content. Bradshaw also discusses common challenges like tight budgets and timelines as well as what makes for a successful visual storytelling team.
Kickass Agile Development - Agile & Beyond Conference
Watch Dan Chuparkoff as he shares some of the secrets to kick-ass software development at Atlassian. He gives us a glimpse at a new Agile paradigm. Feedback cycles are short, code quality is awesome, and customers get the features they lust after. Hear how Atlassian uses pull-requests for better code quality; collaborates fast to develop ideas; avoids meetings; tightens feedback loops to fail fast; shortens release cycles and work together happily from different corners of the globe. Sound like paradise? It is!
Getting Lean: Product + UX
This document discusses lean product development and user experience (UX) principles. It emphasizes building minimum viable products (MVPs) through short development cycles of validating assumptions with customers, measuring outcomes, and iterating based on learnings. Specific lean practices highlighted include validating problems before building solutions, collaborative cross-functional teams, designing MVPs, continuous deployment, focusing on outcomes over outputs, and avoiding vanity metrics.

Filmed at qconsf.com.
Justin Becker is an engineering manager for the Playback API team at Netflix. He has worked at Netflix for seven years, the first five years as an engineer. His focus is building scalable, high availability, services running in a cloud environment.
Software Process... the good parts
This document summarizes Andrew Clay Shafer's talk on software processes. It discusses that Agile processes like Scrum have been oversimplified and lost their original spirit. It promotes focusing on frequent delivery, automated testing, minimizing work in progress, prioritizing quality, and inspecting and adapting processes based on outcomes. Context is important in choosing a process, and processes should promote building software to fulfill a vision rather than just completing tasks. Measuring outcomes and having conversations around user stories are also discussed.
When Everyone Talks At Once, But Leaders Still Know What To Do
When it comes to strategy, business mirrors a war zone. CSOs and strategy consultants are the generals, and in order to know how to act, they need to collect information from every sector of their organizations. The problem is: how can they do so effectively, when every sector of a business communicates with its own signals? Leaders today need to be able to collect information quickly and without bias, but they also need depth, validity, and repeatability. Here we discuss methods for ensuring that comprehensive data is collected and connected in a way that results in meaningful organizational intelligence.
Webinar - Elearning: Where do serious games make most sense?
Games can be used effectively in business and learning contexts to engage employees and learners. Raptivity offers a platform with over 180 customizable game and interactive models that do not require programming skills. These models can be added to existing eLearning content and exported to be viewed without needing Raptivity. Examples showed how games at Microsoft improved productivity and quality. Measurement of objectives is important to demonstrate the impact of games.
Shanghai Keynote: Innovate smarter with Game Thinking
Learn how to drive deep engagement & super-charge your innovation process with 5 steps to finding product/market fit
SPS Michigan
This document discusses how to use games like Rainbows, Hot Tubs, and Sailboats to build better SharePoint solutions by engaging in more productive conversations. It notes that IT and business often speak different languages, and that SharePoint itself knows nothing - the key is understanding user needs. Serious games can help capture requirements in new ways by making meetings more engaging and getting past just discussing features. Examples of innovation games are provided, and how they can be used to assess situations, get feedback on ideas, and refine requirements.
Digital literacy - a new language for disruption
The document discusses the concept of digital literacy and how it is becoming increasingly important. It notes that 80% of CIOs surveyed felt that their top management was not fully digitally literate. It also contains quotes about how the illiterate of the 21st century will be those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn. Overall, the document emphasizes that digital literacy and the ability to adapt to changes in digital technology will be crucial for individuals, organizations and societies going forward.
there is no talent shortage - devopsdays down under 2013
This document summarizes a talk given at DevOpsDays Down Under in 2013. The speaker discusses how the skills required for system administration and development have converged over time, requiring professionals to be well-versed in both. He argues there is no talent shortage, only a lack of vision and courage to build high-performing, learning organizations where culture and individuals are cultivated. The key is aligning incentives and behaviors to encourage continuous learning and change through empowerment, feedback, and living organizational values.
The Next Decade of Agile Software Development and Test
After almost fifteen years of history with agile practices, J.B. Rainsberger sees some alarming trends in our attitudes, practices, and even what we teach about agile. At the same time, he sees some progress in approaches and technologies—e.g., behavior-driven development, naked planning, and continuous delivery. Sadly, we still have maturity models, complicated process checklists, and unnecessary certification schemes. In the coming decade, unless we begin to focus on fundamental ingredients absent from many agile teams, J.B. fears we are doomed to miss many opportunities for getting better. It's not good enough anymore just to be a great agile tester. J.B. says testers, programmers, product analysts, and managers must encourage workplace transformations so we can take full advantage of new tools and techniques. He shares a vision of these transformations and calls on testers and test managers, who work with all stakeholder groups, to stand up and lead us into the next decade of agile.
Workflow: The Art of Getting Unstuck
The document discusses strategies for adopting agile processes and getting unstuck. It covers moving from traditional "waterfall" development to incorporating elements like user-centered design, scrum, user experience design and extreme programming. It emphasizes that agile is a process, not a solution, and that truly being agile requires having a plan. It then discusses various approaches like starting with a small part of the organization and improving incrementally. Finally, it covers key aspects needed for flow and getting unstuck like having a vision, collaboration, tools and removing distractions.
Embedding a Scrum culture avec Harvey Wheaton, Scrum Alliance
Harvey Wheaton has experience in various industries including pharmaceuticals, retail banking, consulting, and investment banking. He joined Electronic Arts in 2003 where he first encountered scrum-like environments. He discovered scrum in 2005 and took a class in 2006. In 2008, he started his own games development studio called Supermassive Games and has been embedding scrum practices since. The key elements of scrum for the studio include two-week sprints, cross-discipline teams, physical planning, and daily stand-ups. The studio focuses on rapid iteration, making software the priority, and continually inspecting and adapting their processes.
#NoEstimates Thinking
The document discusses alternatives to estimates in software development called "#NoEstimates". It argues that estimates are unreliable due to uncertainty and human biases. Estimates promote cost-focused mindsets that hinder adaptation. Instead, the document advocates for iterative development styles that involve continuous feedback, slicing work into small increments, and technical excellence. It promotes agile practices like story mapping, tight feedback loops, and refactoring to support responsive, collaborative development aligned with customer needs over rigid pre-planning.
The Ultimate Guide to Top 36 DevOps Testing Tools for 2024.pdf
Testing is pivotal in the DevOps framework, serving as a linchpin for early bug detection and the seamless transition from code creation to deployment.
DevOps teams frequently adopt a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) methodology to automate processes. A robust testing strategy empowers them to confidently deploy new code, backed by assurance that it has passed rigorous unit and performance tests.

Streamlining End-to-End Testing Automation
Streamlining End-to-End Testing Automation with Azure DevOps Build & Release Pipelines
Automating end-to-end (e2e) test for Android and iOS native apps, and web apps, within Azure build and release pipelines, poses several challenges. This session dives into the key challenges and the repeatable solutions implemented across multiple teams at a leading Indian telecom disruptor, renowned for its affordable 4G/5G services, digital platforms, and broadband connectivity.
Challenge #1. Ensuring Test Environment Consistency: Establishing a standardized test execution environment across hundreds of Azure DevOps agents is crucial for achieving dependable testing results. This uniformity must seamlessly span from Build pipelines to various stages of the Release pipeline.
Challenge #2. Coordinated Test Execution Across Environments: Executing distinct subsets of tests using the same automation framework across diverse environments, such as the build pipeline and specific stages of the Release Pipeline, demands flexible and cohesive approaches.
Challenge #3. Testing on Linux-based Azure DevOps Agents: Conducting tests, particularly for web and native apps, on Azure DevOps Linux agents lacking browser or device connectivity presents specific challenges in attaining thorough testing coverage.
This session delves into how these challenges were addressed through:
1. Automate the setup of essential dependencies to ensure a consistent testing environment.

Closing talk for the Performance Engineering track at Community Over Code EU (Bratislava, Slovakia, June 5 2024) https://eu.communityovercode.org/sessions/2024/why-apache-kafka-clusters-are-like-galaxies-and-other-cosmic-kafka-quandaries-explored/ Instaclustr (now part of NetApp) manages 100s of Apache Kafka clusters of many different sizes, for a variety of use cases and customers. For the last 7 years I’ve been focused outwardly on exploring Kafka application development challenges, but recently I decided to look inward and see what I could discover about the performance, scalability and resource characteristics of the Kafka clusters themselves. Using a suite of Performance Engineering techniques, I will reveal some surprising discoveries about cosmic Kafka mysteries in our data centres, related to: cluster sizes and distribution (using Zipf’s Law), horizontal vs. vertical scalability, and predicting Kafka performance using metrics, modelling and regression techniques. These insights are relevant to Kafka developers and operators.
