The document discusses strategies for teams to work effectively towards long term goals and missions. It suggests framing work as a series of bets at different levels from short term tasks to multi-year goals. It also advocates for visualizing work dependencies and mapping tasks to objectives and key results to ensure work is coordinated and progress is measured. Finally, it proposes using a hybrid board with different sections for focusing, trying, and reviewing work to facilitate planning and review across timeframes from weekly to multi-year.

In this presentation I introduce a tool for strategic planning; Impact Mapping (http://impactmapping.org).
This is one of the best tools I've used to help us produce great, well communicated and easily understood strategic plans, by involving everyone needed to execute the plan.
This presentation is a continuation of my presentations about Mission, Vision and Strategic plans, but this time it's much more hands-on and practical.

A Leadership Survival Guide to Transformation - Aldo Rall & Andy Cooper - Agi...AgileNZ Conference
Agile has become a source of disruption to organisations and leadership. Prevailing trends shows that organisations are de-layering and some are even decimating their hierarchies. This disruption driven by Agile and, more recently, DevOps and Agile Scaling, challenges tradition; there is a call for wider skill sets and controlled, sustainable transformations, pushing leadership and organisations into wider and often conflicting and ambiguous contexts.

Mr.Chris Zook is a partner in Bain & Company , an expert in discovering sources of “profitable growth” for his clients, and James Allen, co-leader of Bain’s Global Strategy practice, are the best-selling co-authors of four books on “how to win the external strategy game.”
Here, these forward thinkers address the fundamental conundrum of growth: In the process of growing, companies face proportionally increased “complexity,” which can stifle that growth. Zook and Allen describe three predictable crises related to growth.
• The first, “overload,” occurs when expanding organizations try to cope with scaling up but only generate internal strife.
• The second, “stall-out,” happens as “organizational complexity” increases rapidly, causing a sudden – and often permanent – slowdown in growth.
• And third, “free fall,” is an abrupt halt of primary market growth so sudden that management can’t cope with it. Companies that avoid or overcome these crises and embrace continued growth share one crucial commonality: a driven, visionary “founder” whose “mentality” permeates and shapes the organization’s culture.
A quick summary and take away of this book which also has an Action plan for Leaders.

Network effects. It’s one of the most important concepts for business in general and especially for tech businesses, as it’s the key dynamic behind many successful software-based companies. Understanding network effects not only helps build better products, but it helps build moats and protect software companies against competitors’ eating away at their margins.
Yet what IS a network effect? How do we untangle the nuances of 'network effects' with 'marketplaces' and 'platforms'? What’s the difference between network effects, virality, supply-side economies of scale? And how do we know a company has network effects?
Most importantly, what questions can entrepreneurs and product managers ask to counter the wishful thinking and sometimes faulty assumption behind the belief that “if we build it, they will come” … and instead go about more deterministically creating network effects in their business? Because it's not a winner-take-all market by accident.

Agiles Zielmanagement und modernes Leadership mit Objectives und Key Results ...die.agilen GmbH
Klassisches Zielmanagement ist längst an seine Grenzen gekommen. Jahreszielgespräche und jährliches Zielplanung sind in Zeiten der digitalen Transformation nicht mehr wirksam. Bereits 47 Jahre alt, aber erst jetzt in den letzten Jahren wirklich populär geworden, revolutioniert Objectives & Key Result (OKR) die Welt des agilen Zielmanagements. Bei Intel erfunden und durch Google groß und bekannt geworden, verwenden OKR mittlerweile gleichermaßen StartUps, KMUs und große Konzerne wie beipielsweise Daimler, BWM oder Merck. Was aber macht OKR genau aus und wie funktioniert agiles Zielmanagement? Wie kann man als Unternehmen mit OKR starten und was gilt es zu beachten? Das und vor allem viele reale Beispiele machen den kurzweiligen und inspirierenden Vortrag aus.
Agile is both a set of practices and a mindset. Success lies in understanding both “Doing Agile” as well as “Being Agile”. In this hands-on session, 5 key practices to support an Agile Mindset will be demonstrated so that you have some practical tools use immediately at work. You will also be left with some deeper challenges about what it takes achieve Organizational Agility.
How to Build a Product Vision by Spotify Product ManagerProduct School
In this episode, Matt Williams talks about building a product vision and getting stakeholder buy in. He also covers 'managing up' and how to navigate within your organization, whilst fostering an understanding of vision and user empathy with engineers.
Impact mapping is a visual, collaborative technique that streamlines and guides project/product planning and implementation. A team of business and technical decision makers work together to create the map. They use it to test mutual understanding of goals and expected outcomes and to maintain the focus on business value as they plan and prioritize the work. This presentation describes impact map components and shows how they fit into the hierarchy. It also presents a simple example of how an agency and client could use impact mapping to plan a minimum viable product.
BizDevOps – Delivering Business Value Quickly at ScaleQASymphony
BIZDEVOPS – DELIVERING BUSINESS VALUE QUICKLY AT SCALE
65+% of surveyed organizations are currently on the path to switch to DevOps or have already implemented the process, and the benefits of a properly implemented DevOps program are clear – quicker time to customer value, better alignment between businesses and customers, and a better ability to respond to customer input. However, when it comes to DevOps adoption, many teams rush to focus on one specific issue within one area when they would actually benefit more from aligning business, development, testing, and operations up front. The five major problems in DevOps adoption include:
Lack of Test Automation Coverage
Lack of Visibility into Testing
Maintaining Various Test Versions and Aligning Tests with Versions of Source Code
Maintaining a Single Source of Truth in the Testing Process
Understanding Where Business Value Currently is in the “BizDevOps” Pipeline
After helping hundreds of customers in their DevOps journeys, these three industry experts will cover these major problems, as well as innovative strategies to overcome them:
Bobby Smith – Director of R&D, QAS Labs
Brandon Cipe – VP DevOps, cPrime
Kevin Dunne – VP Business Development, QASymphony
Tune in to learn more about the state of the industry, the direction that DevOps adoption is moving toward, and what we like to call “BizDevOps”. You won’t want to miss this session!

Using Bets, Boards and Missions to Inspire Org-wide AgilityC4Media
Video and slides synchronized, mp3 and slide download available at URL http://bit.ly/2m3Yly0.
John Cutler talks about Bets, Boards, and Missions, and how to apply them in an organization, and why it is important to uplevel teams and become outcome-focused. Filmed at qconnewyork.com.
John Cutler currently works as a product evangelist at Amplitude. As a former UX researcher at AppFolio, a product manager at Zendesk, Pendo.io, AdKeeper and RichFX, a startup founder, and a product team coach he has a perspective that spans individual roles, domains, and products.
The Three Big Eng/Prod Collaboration Traps (and What to Do About Them)John Cutler
In the last year, John has met with and coached hundreds of cross-functional product development teams. One pattern stands out. Engineering leadership is passionate about embracing “product thinking” and the shift from projects to products, but they are hitting common roadblocks repeatedly. They stumble into well-worn intuition traps. They struggle with unwinding their own defense mechanisms and rebuilding mutual trust. And they have trouble speaking the language of product...especially as it relates to the bets they are advocating for.
In this talk, we’ll explore how engineering leadership can more effectively collaborate with their product management and design counterparts. What does cross-functional product DOING look like, and how can we work together to make that possible? How can you make an apples-to-apples case for working down technical debt, and investing in more resilient tooling and infra? How can you unwind the perverse incentives that keep engineers busy at the expense of outcomes and sanity?
Finally, we will explore what happens when the functional boundaries fade, revealing more capable (and happy) product teams.

A description of some of the tools and techniques that have been imployed at Macmillan Learning in an effort to reduce waste and risk through continuous and rapid learning cycles. The presentations goes through a very brief overview of Lean Startup Customer Development and Design Thinking. If focuses more on how each approach plays well with each other to create a seamless human-centered problem and solution validation process.
PROFES 2018, Wolfsburg: Talk by Tilman Seifert (Principal IT Consultant at QAware)
=== Please download slides if blurred! ===
Abstract: Processes cannot just be judged as ``good'' or ``efficient''---they must be appropriate for the type of project. As the type of a project changes over time,
the processes must adjust in order to stay efficient and appropriate.
We accompanied the transformation of a large and fast-growing project, using agile development methods and cloud-native technologies, from the very first steps of a prototype to the development of a customer-ready product.
This experience report shows patterns we found on the way.
It argues that systematic process evolution can be done without documentation overhead or relying on questionable process KPIs.
We only used information which is available anyway; this includes our archive of sprint retro boards which allows to create a clear picture of the project's evolution, regarding both the process and the product quality.
This presentation highlights my Scrum Master experience. Quite often, companies and teams seeking Scrum Master support misinterpret being an Agile Coach as someone that is unfamiliar with performing the hands-on duties of a Scrum Master.
Whether I am supporting a single team in the role of Scrum Master, or assisting an entire Enterprise, the desired outcome remains the same--help teams achieve higher levels of performance through Agile/Lean thinking, processes, and practices.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
