Agile
Agile is an adaptive and iterative process for managing product development and delivery that focuses on continuous improvement and delivering value to customers. It involves planning in short iterations, implementing changes incrementally, obtaining frequent feedback to make improvements, and emphasizing collaboration and self-organization among cross-functional teams. Some key Agile methods include Scrum, Kanban, and extreme programming (XP).

Metrics that matter with evidence-based management
I was recently asked to speak at ALM Days in Dusseldorf and more specifically to create a talk on Metrics and KPI’s for Quality. As I have been working a lot recently with evidence-based management. I am pretty sure that my session title translates as “Test management and reporting – KIP’s for better decisions” so I am going to concentrate on reporting and KPI’s as the session before mine is on Agile Testing. http://nkdalm.net/1fmvDrq

Introduction to project management
This document discusses key aspects of project management including:
- A project is a temporary endeavor to create a unique product or service.
- Projects go through various phases from initiation to execution to transfer.
- All projects must undergo a rigorous selection process to ensure they are strategic and aligned with organizational goals.
- The four main constraints of a project are cost, time, quality, and scope. Successfully managing these constraints is important for project success.

Implement Agile Practices That Work
Deliver on time and improve communication with the business to minimize project failure.
Your Challenge
The Agile evangelists are having trouble converting others to the Agile philosophy.
Your team is facing pressure to deliver projects in a smaller time frame. The Waterfall approach is causing projects to go over budget, misunderstanding of project owners’ expectations, and late delivery to the end-customer.
Projects that get implemented successfully may be susceptible to problems as the software gets older and crucial changes are too expensive.
A consolidation roadmap that is based on an easy-to-implement method will ease the burden on resource and infrastructure maintenance.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
Agile is not suitable for all organizations, or all projects. Carefully select pilot projects that have the greatest chance of success and determine the right requirements or risk significant cost overruns to fix problems or roll back development.
An Agile rollout may require peripheral projects to be accelerated.
Agile will modify internal roles and processes. Get ready for change management.
Impact and Result
Agile will improve communication and transparency between teams and stakeholders, which will lead to higher quality products and fluid team dynamics.
The success of the Agile pilot should be used to build the case for an organizational-wide deployment.
In order for your organization to stay competitive, it must place focus on delivering projects at a quicker pace with the right features.
Golden ratiotestertodev debashis banerjee - upload
Every cross functional Agile Team has a set of specialists who pitch in at various time to ensure a backlog is ready to be customer shippable sprint by sprint. These could be development specialists, test specialists, documentation specialists, operations specialists, business analysts and other specializations. As in mathematics the ratio of each of these is critical to the success of any sprint as their skills lend expertise and learning to others. In this session we explore if the number of devlopment specialist to test specialist within a cross functional agile team has a golden ratio? In this experience report what will be covered is learnings from scenarios where there is no test specialist in the team to a ratio where number of test specialists are more than development specialists. What will be covered are examples of sample ratios and the good and the bad of these ratios to an actual scenario. The implications of getting this ratio are discussed not just from product development but from a financial, people and type of company (startup, enterprise, service, product). In the end the session should help product owners, scrum masters and scrum team members get a insight into this crucial element of any agile project
Metrics to guide: agile fluency, continuous delivery and product teams
A short talk about how metrics are only good when they're gathered to help determine how to reach a goal. Different goals means different metrics.
The Agile Fluency Framework describes how teams and organisations can work towards different goals depending on what stage they're in, or aspire to. So for those different stages, this means different types of metrics are going to useful. We show some examples.
5.0 Core Agile and Lean Frameworks
This document discusses several agile and lean frameworks including Scrum, Kanban, eXtreme Programming (XP), Feature Driven Development (FDD), and others. It provides overviews of each framework, describing their core practices, events, artifacts, principles, and how they relate to agile development.
Agile vs Waterfall
Agile and Waterfall are two distinct methods of project management.
The Waterfall model can essentially be described as a linear model of project development. Like its name suggests, waterfall employs a sequential process. Development flows sequentially from start point to end point, with several different stages: Conception, Initiation, Analysis, Design, Construction, Testing, Implementation, and Maintenance.
In contrast, the Agile method proposes an incremental and iterative approach to project development. It was essentially developed in response to the limitations of Waterfall, as a way to give more freedom. The process is broken into individual models that team work on. There is no pre-determined course of action or plan with the Agile method. Rather, team-mates are free to respond to changes in requirements as they arise and make changes as the project progresses. Agile is a pretty new player to the development management. However, it has made substantial gains in use and popularity in the last couple of years.
DevOps
DevOps is an approach that aims to optimize development and operations within an organization. It focuses on continuous improvement, optimal design and development, and adopting an enterprise-wide culture of continuous planning, testing, delivery, and feedback. The goals are to adjust project plans based on priorities, realistically forecast operations, and modify release plans as needed by business operations. Critical aspects addressed include development, testing, staging, delivery, monitoring, and operations support.
PM - RUP
The document provides an overview of the Rational Unified Process (RUP) methodology for software development. It discusses that RUP is an iterative and incremental framework that can be customized for different systems, applications, organizations, and more. It emphasizes practices like managing requirements, using component architectures, modeling visually, and continually verifying quality. The document also maps RUP to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and discusses how RUP provides guidance for planning, staffing, executing, and monitoring projects while managing risks. Finally, it introduces the Agile Unified Process (AUP) as an updated version of RUP aligned with agile principles.
Lean testing
The document discusses lean software testing approaches to increase customer value and reduce execution cycle times. It describes implementing a lean mindset to optimize workflow and remove impediments to reduce production to release cycles from 15 to 10 months. This includes empowering teams, using risk-based and impact-based testing strategies, focusing on areas with the most changes, and creating dashboards to provide visibility. The goal is to improve defect removal efficiency to over 90% and reduce regression cycle times by 50% through these lean testing approaches.

Agile Process Audit
This document discusses conducting an agile process audit. It outlines common problems with software projects like cost overruns and quality issues. Agile methodologies are presented as a solution. The benefits of a process audit are described as providing insight and identifying areas for improvement. The document details what aspects are audited, such as team distractions and bugs. Sample findings around these issues are presented along with recommendations and benefits of addressing the findings. Guiding principles of eliminating waste, being people-centric, and optimizing across the organization are also shared.
Evidence Based Management and Organisational Change
The document discusses using an Agility Path and Evidence Based Management (EBM) approach to drive organizational improvement. The Agility Path uses Scrum roles, events and artifacts as a framework for managing change. EBM provides an empirical framework for evaluating organizations by measuring value, diagnosing contributors, and improving based on evidence. Regular measurements and diagnostics across processes, products, value, quality and enterprise domains are used to guide organizational change decisions and maximize value.
Agile Produktentwicklung: Mit cross funktionalen Teams zuverlässig und fristg...
Produktentwicklung erfordert ein perfektes Zusammenspiel von Forschung, Hardware, Mechanik, Software und Zulieferteilen. Dabei arbeiten an der serienreifen Entwicklung eines Produkts gleichzeitig Hunderte von Ingenieuren: bei uns, bei unseren Zulieferern und bei deren Zulieferern.
Der Zeitdruck ist groß, die Komplexität noch größer: Design, CAD, Mechanik, Materialien, Sicherheitsprüfungen, Elektromechanik, Produktionsverfahren, Werkzeugentwicklung, Lieferlogistik, Kosten - all das muss in wenigen Monaten über viele Organisationsgrenzen hinweg aufeinander abgestimmt werden.
Dabei wird das Rad nicht neu erfunden, doch jedes Fachgebiet ist eine Domäne für sich: Niemand ist auf all diesen Gebieten gleichermaßen versiert und so kommen Dutzende von Perspektiven verschiedener Menschen zusammen, die sich am Ende standortübergreifend und Konzernübergreifend auf eine einzige gemeinsame Lösung verständigen müssen.
Um dem ständigen Wandel im Projektumfeld bzw. in der Produktentwicklung zu begegnen, setzen wir in mehreren Unternehmen einen inkrementellen und iterativen Entwicklungsansatz ein. Dieser lehnt sich stark an Scrum an und wird mit Lean Elementen wie Kanban erweitert, um den Bedürfnissen aller betroffenen Akteuren und Prozesse gerecht zu werden.
Könnt ihr euch vorstellen dass komplexe Aufgaben mit weniger Druck und Kontrolle besser zu bewältigen sind?
Habt ihr schon die Kraft von Visualisierung von Fortschritten oder Anforderung benutzt als Unterstützung für gemeinsame Entscheidung?
Kennt ihr die Bedeutung von Disziplin, insbesondere bei den vereinbarten Ritualen, Zwischenresultaten und Rollen - und die damit Verlässlichkeit und Routine, die sich rasch daraus entwickelt?
Seid ihr bereit zusammenzuarbeiten und dank des Sprint-Rhythmus regelmäßiger Erfolge zu feiern, damit ihr schnell und nachhaltig als Team zusammen wächst?
In diesem Vortrag erfahrt ihr wie man ein Umfeld schaffen kann, in dem die Arbeit Spaß macht: ein Umfeld, das die Potenziale der Mitarbeiter, der Teams und letztlich der Organisation hebt und eine innovative, lernende Organisation entstehen lässt. Gerade im innovativen Produktentwicklungsumfeld zeigen Ansätze wie Scrum, Design Thinking und Lean Startup die ganze Kraft der agilen Handlungsrahmen. Die Prinzipien sind universell. Alle arbeiten nach dem gleichen Grundsatz, eigenverantwortlich und flexibel in sehr kurzen Liefertakten daran, die tatsächlich notwendigen Ergebnisse zu „entdecken“ und unproduktiven Leerlauf zu verhindern. Und das ist vor allem in einem komplexen Umfeld sehr viel produktiver, als starr vorherbestimmen zu wollen.
Is there a Golden Ratio? Test Specialist to Developer in an Agile team
The document discusses developer to tester ratios on Agile teams. It notes that Agile teams typically include developers, testers, a Scrum Master, and Product Owner. Ratios can be higher in Agile development than non-Agile projects. Effective ratios depend on factors like the project phase and automation level. Cross-functional teams with specialized skills but no strict roles can adapt ratios easily between 1:1 and 4:1 or 8:1. This flexibility and solutions like crowd testing can help speed Agile adoption.

QA in an agile world Tom Churchwell
This document discusses quality assurance in an agile development environment. Some key points:
- In agile, quality is a team responsibility built into each sprint through practices like test-driven development and continuous integration. QA focuses on working software rather than documentation.
- Traditional QA tested after development, but agile QA works throughout development. Automated testing and continuous integration allow for faster feedback.
- The "definition of done" ensures quality standards are met before work is considered complete. This includes things like testing, documentation, and business verification of requirements.
- Metrics like burn-down charts are used to track progress and quality over iterations. Visualizing progress helps the team respond quickly to changes.

Agile Testing by ShriKant Vashishtha
Agile testing involves testing throughout the development process in short iterations to deliver working software quickly. Testers play an active role on agile teams by writing automated unit and integration tests, performing incremental functional testing, and helping ensure definitions of ready and done are met. Key aspects of agile testing include test-driven development, continuous integration, automated testing using tools like Selenium, and acceptance test-driven development approaches like behavior-driven development. Potential issues testers may face include insufficient estimation, time constraints, and silos between teams.

Principle 11 needs to go! by Ken France at #AgileIndia2019
The Principles in the Agile Manifesto provide us guidance on how to have an Agile mindset in our organizations. Principle 11 within the Manifesto states "The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams". While this works well for autonomous teams, it proves to be challenging for large organizations with dozens or even hundreds of teams who need to share common architectures and design patterns.
This talk will present a case study of a large retail organization and explore their journey from a highly centralized/governance-based technology organization to a more distributed/collaborative one and explore their lessons learned and success/failure patterns along the way. In the end, we'll answer the question about whether or not Principle 11 scales!
