Empathy maps allow you to build and understand the worldview of your audience, their pain points and motivations thereby enabling you to build products and provide services they actually want.
Kieran Bradley is developing ideas for a client project including jingles and sweepers. Kieran has identified jingles as a strong idea to pursue based on their production skills and access to voices. Kieran has gathered example jingles and sweepers for inspiration and found that jingles often use EDM music and autotune while sweepers vary individually. Kieran's client brief involves station idents, short promotions, and incorporating local York sounds. Kieran's schedule accounts for deadlines and feedback from their available client.
Using Empathy Maps to Better Understand your Jury - Drupal Camp London 2015Kubair Shirazee
Requirements gathering has come of age and those at the frontier continue to adapt it to a changing environment, where clients, stakeholders and users are better informed, empowered and in most cases know what they need.
In this environment as analysts we have to deploy tools from across verticals and add value by cross pollinating our own experiences from across the board.
The aim of this session is to introduce beginner and intermediate level analysts, account, project managers and business development leads to an innovative analytical tool that you ought to have in your tool box, and to do so with practical examples - this is an interactive session by the end of which you shall have an appreciation of Empathy maps, when and how to use them by building basic models during the session itself (all required materials will be provided).
The specific model to be covered: + Empathy maps to gain an understanding of your prospects, clients and stakeholders (Jury) to help get them on boarded, to help close the sale or to assist in identifying champions early on in the process that can be leveraged to get organization wide buy in. The learning objectives are to equip delegates with knowledge of a new and innovative business modelling tool that will enable them to better understand their prospects, clients, stakeholders and end users and thereby deliver beyond their expectations.

Slides from the DrupalConSF 2010 presentation by Bret Piatt (of Rackspace) and Josh Koenig (of Chapter Three) explaining how PANTHEON was developed on the Rackspace cloud
This document outlines a proposed workflow initiative for Drupal to improve content management. It includes plans to:
1) Make revisions enabled by default for all content entities and implement revision interfaces.
2) Allow entities to be migrated between different entity schemas during upgrades.
3) Develop APIs for workspaces, moderation, replication, and conflict management to allow content to exist in multiple versions and be replicated between sites.
4) Build out experimental UIs, modules, and services to demonstrate the new workflow capabilities.

The group created surveys to gather feedback on their magazine cover, teaser poster, and teaser trailer for a film campaign. They designed multiple options for the magazine cover and poster and used the surveys to determine which design should be selected based on responses. For the magazine cover, one design was seen as most effectively suiting the trailer. For the poster, Holly's design was preferred as it created mystery about the content of the trailer without revealing too much. The group similarly gathered feedback on ideas for the trailer itself before developing it further to align with the preferences of their target audience.

Being human - Taking Agile, Open Source and Cloud beyond Tech with Peace Thro...Kubair Shirazee
As a community we constantly talk of giveback, at Cons we even have a track called 'being human'...but do we empathise enough with our fellow human beings? are we engaged enough beyond our bubble?
The session is an exploratory one. Exploring how we may take strengths and learnings that make us a successful Open Source community to wider audiences with a view of facilitating social transformation that addresses the needs of our societies globally.
What can we learn from the transformation Drupal, Cloud and Agile has had on our ecosystems as technologists and how can we export those lessons beyond to heal and build a stronger society?
What’s Covered
There is no silver bullet but there are references and patterns from within the global Drupal community that given air time might help the wider community see, think, feel and act beyond our limited spheres. The story revolves around one not-for-profit startup that took inspiration from the Drupal community, is using Agile, Open source and Cloud to deliver social transformation programs, and just may be an inspiration for others in the Drupal community to engage with in their own geographies.
For Who
This session is for beginners and experienced individuals alike.
This session will provoke discussions on what our community can do to improve this pale blue dot for current and future generations.
This session is about the society we want to build, live in and leave behind.

Agile Entrepreneurs - Google Campus London 3rd April 2017Kubair Shirazee
Kubair Shirazee discusses agile principles and how to implement an agile approach. Some key principles of agility include keeping processes simple, planning but not blindly following plans, embracing change, failing fast to fix problems early, and using metrics to measure outcomes. When adopting agile, companies should obey the principles without being rigid, and emphasize innovating, experimenting, adapting, and inspecting results. The best way to implement agility may differ for each company.

Designing and Sustaining Large-Scale Value-Centered Agile Ecosystems (powered...Alexey Krivitsky
Is Agile dead? It depends on what you mean by 'Agile'. If you mean that the organizations are not getting the promised benefits because they were focusing too much on the team-level agile "ways of working" instead of systemic global improvements -- then we are in agreement. It is a misunderstanding of Agility that led us down a dead-end. At Org Topologies, we see bright sparks -- the signs of the 'second wave of Agile' as we call it. The emphasis is shifting towards both in-team and inter-team collaboration. Away from false dichotomies.
