OSMC 2015: Testing in Production by Devdas BhagatNETWAYS
For most ecommerce companies, software is not the final deliverable product. It is a research tool, to determine what customers will pay for. To be able to get good data from software, monitoring and analytics must be built into the system. Alerting must come from business requirements and be based on application generated data.
In the traditional operations world, we monitor what is easy, and avoid monitoring that which is difficult. This talk is an attempt to show people that monitoring must be driven by metrics from the CxO office, and then potentially involve technical metrics if needed.
This talk explains why functional and business level monitoring is crucial. We also cover the tradeoffs from a DTAP model to continuous deployment. There will be a brief introduction to a couple of useful monitoring tools for functional monitoring. No special technical skills are expected of the audience, but having a general overview of the monitoring world is a good thing. This talk is not limited to ecommerce companies, but is most applicable to that environment.
Whether you’re a manager, product manager, designer or engineer, at some point during the product lifecycle you will have to deal with legacy. During this talk, I will explain how to tackle product legacy by understanding what it is, evaluating the gravity of it, defining and applying the right techniques and most importantly what you should learn from it. All of this without having to start coding from scratch and without impacting your existing users.
After having run SDLC projects for more than 8 years, I made the transition to agile projects. This deck captures some of the insights from that journey. Read more here - http://restlesstempest.blogspot.in/2013/06/article-transition-from-sdlc-to-agile.html

How To (Not) Open Source - Javazone, Oslo 2014gdusbabek
Releasing an open source project while maintaining a shipping product is hard! Different behaviors, attitudes and actions can help or hinder your cause; and they are not always obvious.
The Blueflood distributed metrics engine was released as open source software by Rackspace in August 2012. In the succeeding months the team had to strike a manageable balance between the challenges of growing a community, being good open source stewards, and maintaining a shipping product for Rackspace. Find out what worked, what did not work, and the lessons that can be applied as you endeavor to take your project out into the open.
In this presentation you will learn about strategies for releasing open source products, pitfalls to avoid, and the potential benefits of moving more of your development out in the open.
We have also made a few realizations about the community growing up around metrics. It is still young, and there are problems that come with that youth. I'll talk about some things we can do to make a better software ecosystem.
How to Internationalize Products by fmr Condé Nast Int. PMProduct School
- Understand when you're ready to localise your product and how to avoid acquiring unnecessary tech debt in this area
- Learn how to have a solid localisation set up regardless of your budget and the challenges between mobile-web and native apps
- How to make the copywriter on your team like you (best practices when it comes to localise a product)
How to Rescue Complex Projects from DisasterPerforce
Work on big projects or product development efforts?
Then you’re familiar with that feeling — that things may get messy, disorderly, out of control, turned upside down.
It’s a terrible feeling!
Good news: There are proven ways to prevent project chaos from occurring.
With this webinar, we’ll show you:
-A framework for re-orienting your project & team toward proper planning.
-Critical differences between “complex” & “complicated” projects.
-How to set high-level project structure correctly.
-Common mistakes to avoid.
-Planning approaches that’ll get you to the finish line.
Ken Whitaker shares pragmatic techniques to help project managers and software development leaders put into practice innovative scheduling techniques, make consistent customer-centric decisions, reduce project risk, quickly negotiate with product owners the most important project scope, and transition teams to become more agile. Ken shares revealing statistical data on how waterfall is simply not suited for modern-day adaptive software development projects. With fellow participants, you’ll spend time performing a “Scrum walkabout” to get the idea of just how an agile project really works. These best practices are presented to motivate your team to deliver projects on time, every time. Although this tutorial doesn’t incorporate intensive role-play, we’ll have lively interaction that will incorporate lessons learned from actual case studies and attendees’ project experiences. Take away powerful, yet simple, ways to bridge the gap between PMI’s PMBOK® Guide and agile.
A small story about Open Source projects' specificities. This presentation has been designed for non technical profiles with no previous experience in Open Source projects
Habitat is amazing technology - but a new technology alone will not deliver business value. A technology is good for your business when it allows you to deliver stronger value in higher quantities at a faster velocity. For a business, much of the value comes in the software applications it produces - the application itself is what makes it money. Come hear how Habitat’s focus on the application as the unit of automation allows you to focus on the application itself and not worry about where it will run. Habitat also allows you to easily change where and what your application runs on. Your application and business needs will change over time, which means you need to be able to change your application at a very high velocity without being locked into one type of infrastructure or one vendor. Come witness how Habitat allows your applications to be infrastructure and platform agnostic - you focus on the application, Habitat takes care of packaging your software, exporting it, and running it wherever you need. Learn how you can deliver stronger value in higher quantities at a faster velocity without sacrificing stability.

Developing Distributed High-performance Computing Capabilities of an Open Sci...Globus
COVID-19 had an unprecedented impact on scientific collaboration. The pandemic and its broad response from the scientific community has forged new relationships among public health practitioners, mathematical modelers, and scientific computing specialists, while revealing critical gaps in exploiting advanced computing systems to support urgent decision making. Informed by our team’s work in applying high-performance computing in support of public health decision makers during the COVID-19 pandemic, we present how Globus technologies are enabling the development of an open science platform for robust epidemic analysis, with the goal of collaborative, secure, distributed, on-demand, and fast time-to-solution analyses to support public health.
How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

Editor's Notes
Been with Hansoft, a backlog management tool, for 5 years, seen hundreds of backlogs
Joined Perforce when they acquired Hansoft last year
Feel free to reach out to me after this presentation with any questions you might have.
@JAKE — We’d like this slide to look like it becomes TOTAL MESSY CHAOS [ORDER > CHAOS]
Information Need — Detailed scope is valued, so everything is broken down to its most-granular level before work starts.
Hoarding — Like squirrels, people document everything, are afraid to remove anything.
Lack of Clear Ownership — People take care of what’s THEIRS. Where two people own, no one owns.
Dependency Resolution — Backlog explodes from interdependencies. (”If we do that, we must do this!”)
Tech:
Excel: Not collaborative as it does not scale
Issue tracker like JIRA: Not built for backlog management, are issues really what youw ant? Imagine the time people are spending in tools like JIRA today to make changes.
There are real backlog management tools out there, obviously Hansoft is one of those.
Expertise:
— Understanding your market, understanding how your product is improved, understanding where limits can be set (attending this webinar will help!)
New Decision Making Model - Even with all the tech and expertise – the root cause is often systemic and a new decision making model would be needed. SCRUM is a typical first example.
(nothing that is validated or can be validated)
If you want to have a demo of this – please reach out to me directly.
