Speaker: Dr. Ross Parry, associate professor and deputy pro-vice-chancellor (digital), University of Leicester
Developing digital capability is a strategic priority for the University of Leicester as it works towards the ambition of becoming a "discovery-led university” that is “ever more focused on innovation" (University of Leicester 2015 Strategic Plan). The role of digital technologies in achieving this vision is articulated in greater detail in the university's digital strategy: Discovery-Enabling Digital 2016-2020 digital is at the core of how the university operates and the journey towards achieving its teaching, learning and research ambitions.
The university is taking a whole-organisation view of what this will involve (teaching and research, students and staff, academic and professional services) and is working on several co-ordinated and interlinked strands that contribute to the overall implementation plan. The university has adopted a customised digital literacy framework which is based on the Jisc building digital capability framework, and this provides a consistent framework through which digital training and skills development across the university can be delivered.
The university is also using the Jisc building digital capability discovery tool to support staff and students with their understanding of what digital skills they require to support their professional practice and future careers. Senior leadership support for such a large-scale digital initiative is vital and the university has recognised this by appointing a deputy pro-vice-chancellor to lead the work on the digital campus.
In this presentation Ross will share his experiences of leading this initiative and how he is working with teams across the university to achieve this vision for a digitally capable organisation.

Continuous Improvement, make it visible - ICSPI 2006 - Ben LindersBen Linders
Communication is an important factor in improvement programs. Communication pictures the goals and approach of an improvement program. It can motivate people to commit to change, by showing expected benefits and early results. But wrong or too much communication can also frustrate people, getting them to resist changing.
Many improvement programs are run by technical persons, in a technical environment. Often communication is undervalued and underestimated, and perceived as difficult. It is something that people are inexperienced in, which makes them feel uncomfortable. But if they get started, and take some hurdles, they can get better in it. This presentation provides hands-on information, and hint & tips.
This presentation will show how vital communication is for improvement programs. It supplies a set of tools and techniques to improve the visibility of targets and results, and will explain how this has been used to monitor and steer continuous improvement in an R&D organization. Views on continuous improvement from different stakeholders are included, to show their needs on communication.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

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?
Enhancing Research Orchestration Capabilities at ORNL.pdfGlobus
Cross-facility research orchestration comes with ever-changing constraints regarding the availability and suitability of various compute and data resources. In short, a flexible data and processing fabric is needed to enable the dynamic redirection of data and compute tasks throughout the lifecycle of an experiment. In this talk, we illustrate how we easily leveraged Globus services to instrument the ACE research testbed at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility with flexible data and task orchestration capabilities.
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.
Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code AnalysisAftab Hussain
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.
Large Language Models and the End of ProgrammingMatt Welsh
Talk by Matt Welsh at Craft Conference 2024 on the impact that Large Language Models will have on the future of software development. In this talk, I discuss the ways in which LLMs will impact the software industry, from replacing human software developers with AI, to replacing conventional software with models that perform reasoning, computation, and problem-solving.

Programme
Steering Group
meets
• Program Increment (PI)
planning day(s):
• Thematic entity steering
groups present the targets
• Teams plan targets for the
next increment by iteration
• Dependencies and risks are
presented and considered
in increment planning
• Planning produces targets
for the next increment and
team/iteration-specific plans
Digital Programme Steering
Group:
• Release entity of the
previous increment;
lessons learned
• Issues prioritised further in
increment planning and
priorities of the next
increment
Thematic entity steering
group:
• Feedback received on the
previous increment
• Thematic entity priorities in
planning a future
increment
Dev teams and partners
• Development based on priorities
and plan
• Many releases during the
increment
• Maintenance and support
5+1 iterations
• 5 iterations for
development
• 1 iteration for planning and
innovation
22. Program Increment planning
• About 60 people from different units
• 1,5 days in the same room
• Digital vision and
IT architecture vision
• Product owners present their cases
• Face to face communication
• Plan and visualize work for every team
• Agree on the primary and secondary targets for the next
increment

with a standard agenda that includes a
presentation of business context and
vision followed by team planning
breakouts—where the teams create their
Iteration plans and objectives for the
upcoming PI.
28. Planning tips
• Planning before PI planning is
needed
• Holidays are not a risk!
• Plan according to your yearly cycle
(e.g. Start of semester)
• Don’t worry so much about
guesstimating ->
priorities matter the most
• Serve pizza for lunch in PI planning :D

What VALUE does
this feature bring
32. Does DUO work - YES
36
"You accomplish so
much more than
before!"
"This helps us to clarify
and prioritize our
goals."
”We want to adapt this
model to other areas of
business too!"
33. Does DUO work - YES
37
The dev teams can better
focus on the things that
have been prioritized.
No more surprise projects
out of the blue
Dev teams new to
agile or other
formal methods
have improved
their way of
working
The 3 month cycles are
easy to understand and
help the whole
organization to move at
the same pace
DUO makes the
amount of needed
work visible
--> helps in managing
”resources”
34. Does DUO work - maybe?
38
There are plans to implement a new
project portfolio management
system at university wide.
Everything is a project. Maybe
easier to understand than agile and
SAFe?
We still develop as
fast and effectively
as before --> only the
transparency has
increased?
There feels to be
some overhead with
our tools + ”planning
before planning"?
Innovation and planning
iteration --> used often
mostly for planning and
buffer for finishing more
features than innovation?
35. Lessons learned
39
Having boundaries
and timeboxes helps
to focus and think of
other (innovative?)
ways of solving
problems
DUO forces product owners
and other groups to think
about their processes too:
Not just buy a new IT system
-> improve your process
instead
Treat SAFe as a
framework it is
– not a strict
rulebook
Some agile maturity
in some level of
organization is
helpful

Planning vs. delivery…
Priorisoi ja ylläpidä prioriteetin mukaan järjestettyjä kehitysjonoja
Kehitettävää on paljon ja kaikkea ei voida tehdä kerralla. Toimintamallin peruspilari, kehittämistarpeiden priorisointi, tapahtuu digiohjelman teemakokonaisuuksien ohjausryhmissä, joita ovat Oppimisen ja koulutuksen digitalisaatio, Tutkimuksen digitalisaatio ja Älykkäät digiympäristöt.
Käytä aikaikkunoita, joissa selkeä sisältö ja kiinteä määräaika
Kehittäminen tapahtuu 3kk jaksoissa, kehitysinkrementeissä (engl. Program increment). Kunkin jakson alussa suunnittelupäivissä kiinnitetään yhteistyössä realistinen tavoite jakson sisällöksi. Jaksojen aikana tapahtuvaa etenemistä voi seurata DUO dashboardilta.
Yksinkertaista
Tavoitteena on tuottaa digitaalisia palveluita, jotka lähtökohtaisesti yksinkertaistavat arkea yliopistoyhteisössä ja tukevat yliopiston edelläkävijyyttä ja innovativiisuutta. Toimintatapojen yksinkertaistaminen aina kun mahdollista on myös keino sujuvoittaa arkea.
Hallitse riskejä ennakoivien toimenpiteiden avulla
Mahdollisten riskien ja etenemisen esteiden tunnistaminen ajoissa ja niiden hallinta tarvittavien toimenpiteiden avulla on tavoitteiden saavuttamisen kannalta tärkeää. Nämä ovatkin esillä niin ohjausryhmätyöskentelyssä, suunnittupäivissä kuin kahden viikon välein pidettävässä kehittäjien iteraatiokohtaisessa tarkistuspisteessä.
Tee asiat tiimityönä
Tiimityön perustana on monipuolinen osaaminen, jossa yhdistyy tehtävän kannalta tarvittavat näkökulmat.
Paranna toimintaa jatkuvasti
DUO-toimintamalli kuten ei ole tarkoituskaan tule kerralla valmiiksi. Periaatteenamme on, että oppiessamme toimintamallin sovittamisesta osaksi yliopistoyhteistyötä sitä kehitetään säännöllisesti eteenpäin toimintaperiaatteiden mukaisesti. Noudatamme tässä Leanin pyrkimystä vähentää ajan myötä tehtäviä, jotka ovat ennakoimattoman laajuisia ja joista puuttuu standardoitu työmalli.
Poista hukka ja tuottamaton työ
Toimintamallin tavoitteena on yksinkertaistaa digitaalisten palveluiden kehittämistä siten, että toiminta on mahdollisimman läpinäkyvää yhteisölle. Ennakoinnin ja hyvän suunnittelun avulla pyritään tunnistamaan mahdollinen hukka, joka voi syntyä esim. päätöksenteon odottamisesta. Kehitettäviä kohteita arvioidaan ja priorisoidaan niiden tuottaman arvon, käyttäjäkokemuksen ja kustannusten kautta. Tarkoitus on minimoida hukka-aikaa, karsia turhaa työtä, lisätä laatua, noudattaa just-in-time-imuohjausperiaatetta ja välttää ylilaadun tuottamista.
Varmista nopea palaute
Korkean käyttäjäkokemuksen saavuttaminen vaatii aktiivista ja nopeaa palautteen keräämistä ja käsittelyä palveluiden käyttäjiltä. Palaute on tervetullutta myös itse toimintamallista, sitä voi antaa suoraan DUO:n ohjauksesta vastaavalle.
ja luovat uusia yliopiston menestymistä edistäviä innovatiivisia palveluita.
