This is an updated version of the talk I gave in Sep 2016 at Mind The Product. I gave this version of the talk at Webstock in Wellington, NZ in Feb 2017 and then later on that month in Sydney at the IxDA Sydney February event. The set up is a bit different in this version and the focus is more on the principles rather than just the project, program, portfolio structure.
The term Lean has become widely popular, particularly with the word “startup” attached to it. This has led many people to believe this is an approach to work relevant only to new companies or initiatives. Lean-curious companies who have tried to implement these ideals often stall at one or two teams citing organizational complexities, politics and dependencies as insurmountable obstacles to Lean Startup at scale.
Can Lean Startup practices be scaled — not just as culture and philosophy but as tactical process? In this practical presentation, Jeff will share several methods for scaling Lean Startup techniques in large organizations exemplified in detailed case studies and professional experience. Jeff will cover knowledge management, intra-team dependencies, infrastructure requirements and several other elements of ensuring successful Lean Startup practices in companies of any size.
This is the short talk I gave at the beginning of the June 2nd, 2011 meeting of the NYC Agile Experience Design meetup. It is meant to give context to the panel discussion which followed. That consisted of 4 non-designers (dev, product, qa) giving their POV on Lean UX. The full video of that talk is here: http://www.vimeo.com/24638334
Strategy is a holistic look at product, brand, engineering and design. Carving up unique silos of strategy practice reduces collaboration, increases process bloat and results in slower time to market. This talk describes why identifying a separate user experience strategy falls into this trap and what can be done about it.
An introduction to Lean UX, grounded in Lean Startup and Agile principles. A starting point for shifting today's organizations towards a safer sustainable approach to product design and development.
Lean UX: Getting out of the deliverables businessJeff Gothelf
This is an expanded presentation detailing how to focus on leaner user experience design methods and reducing the amount of deliverables in your work. It advocates focusing on the actual experience being created and not the deliverable itself as the end state of a project by reducing waste and choosing the right tool at the right time at the right depth.

User Story Mapping - mini iad 2014 (Armani, Rodriguez)Fabio Armani
Riteniamo, che non vi sia dubbio sul fatto le User Story (introdotte da eXtreme Programming) e il Product Backlog (definito in Scrum) rappresentino due portentosi strumenti per la gestione agile dei requisiti e delle specifiche sia funzionali che non funzionali. Ma … hanno alcuni limiti.
Ad esempio, nonostante le notevoli caratteristiche del Product Backlog, la sua unidimensionalità non consente di creare un modello dei requisiti adatto a scalare e che consenta di gestire le dipendenze che possono essere presenti tra i vari elementi che lo costituiscono.
In questo workshop presenteremo e utilizzeremo un altro potente strumento che spesso utilizziamo durante gli User Story Workshop sia in fase d’Inception, sia all’inizio di ogni nuova release di un prodotto. Si chiama “User Story Mapping”.
Ci divertiremo con voi ad utilizzarlo in una simulazione che partendo dalla Vision di un prodotto ci consentirà di mappare i bisogni di un numero selezionato di utenti su un insieme di funzionalità organizzate in una mappa.
Inoltre vedremo come sia possibile utilizzare questo strumento per gestire le diverse release di un prodotto a partire dal così detto “Walking Skeleton” fino alle successive MMF (Mininum Markatable Feature)
Sapete cos’è il modello di Kano, FURPS+, o come il nome della capitale della Russia possa essere utilizzato per assegnare priorità alle diverse storie? Se vi abbiamo incuriosito, o se pensate che avere un nuovo strumento mentale da aggiungere alla vostra cassetta degli attrezzi potrebbe esservi utile, partecipate. Sarete certamente i benvenuti.

HTTP2 : ce qui va changer par Julien LanduréZenika
HTTP1 est omniprésent en 2016 et HTTP2 est pourtant "sorti" le 15 mai 2015. Qu'est-ce qu'on y gagne, nous développeurs ? Les principes d'optimisation Web seront-ils toujours d'actualités ? Venez découvrir HTTP2, le futur protocole du Web !
Dans la continuité de la conférence Java Concurrency and Non-blocking IO Lecture animée par Heinz Kabutz, Zenika vous propose d'assister à la NightClazz Java 8 - Découverte.
I hope you already figured out the "why" question. Let me help you with the "how".
We all have this PO/PM/CFO/boss (delete where inapplicable) that will ask us about the business impact:
- Will it let us deliver the business features faster?
- Will we gain a competitive edge?
- Is it a kind of one-off task?
- How much does it cost?
We might hate to answer these "trivial" questions, but they are all valid. After all, we pick the tools to serve the purpose, not the other way around…
In this session, I would like to present the approach IDEMIA took to upgrade any critical dependencies in our platforms. There is always some risk involved, but we have tools and practices that help us mitigate the issues, measure the impact and foresee potential consequences before they happen.
A technical description of http2, including background of HTTP what's been problematic with it and how http2 and its features improves the web.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;
- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.

traction proved extremely
exciting, it misled us into
believing there was a larger

“Most social networks feed
primarily on vanity….Sharing
plans, unfortunately, doesn’t
present the same opportunity to
show off and incur the same
subsequent happy feelings.”

“…The first big project we worked on was a
Formspring button that sites could embed at
the end of blog posts... We had millions of
users, so we figured it wasn’t a stretch to
imagine they browsed other web sites and
would gladly click a Formspring button at the
end of a post ... This was just as the Facebook
Share and Twitter “Tweet This” buttons were
appearing...”

“…We spent months on that system. We had
to make sure our servers could handle…huge
influx of traffic, had to design & implement
the feature, make sure the implementation
was easy for publishers, make deals with
publishers, etc.
We bet huge.
On someone else’s (Facebook and Twitter’s)
plan.
Flop...”

Key questions:
How long do we wait before
launch?
How do we define the right
requirements for our product?
What signals are we looking for
from the market?

Design Thinking
“As a style of thinking, it is generally
considered the ability to combine
empathy for the context of a problem,
creativity in the generation of insights and
solutions, and rationality to analyze and fit
solutions to the context. ”

Lean UX
Inspired by Lean Startup and Agile
development theories, it’s the practice of
bringing the true nature of a product to light
faster, in a collaborative, cross-functional
way with less emphasis on deliverables and
greater focus on a shared understanding of
the actual experience being designed.
That’s me!
I said this.

Many companies currently manage to
output.
Instead, they need to focus on outcome and
not task teams with responsibility for
impact.
