Comcast XFINITY Home: An Agile Case Study
Today's mobile application development is a complex endeavor made more difficult by teams often working at cross purposes. Separation of roles and responsibilities leads to intricate technological and personnel dependencies that makes projects challenging. Mark Hashimoto shares personal insights and lessons learned during the agile development effort of Comcast XFINITY Home iOS and Android mobile apps. Mark suggests that defining system interfaces first allows client, server, and test teams to develop in parallel; limiting mobile UX reviews to objective matters rather than subjective opinions builds trust and respect; creating binary acceptance criteria removes sprint completion ambiguity; and adhering to disciplined meeting goals reduces wasted time. However, not all lessons learned were of a technical or procedural nature. Mark describes the human dynamics involved and the most common frustrations facing your team—too many meetings, rework caused by ambiguous mobile requirements, missed deadlines, and problems that arise from a lack of time.

Couples Counseling for Software Development by Joe Stage
This document provides advice for software development teams on improving their product development process through better collaboration between different roles. It recommends that engineers be involved early in the design process to address technical constraints. It also advocates for an iterative process of building minimal prototypes and getting early user feedback, rather than long development cycles. Teams are advised to focus on solving user problems rather than getting attached to specific technical solutions. Overall, the document emphasizes shortening feedback loops through practices like continuous deployment and automated testing.

Minimum Delightful Product
A session from Ben Rowe at Product Camp Melbourne / October 2014.
We've all accepted that creating an MVP is the smart way to build digital products. The problem with MVPs, though, is there’s a danger in rushing to market with something that’s viable, but misses the ‘delight’ factor. See more of the talk details at http://pcampmelbourne.com

Scaling Atlassian - March 2008
The document discusses the scaling of Atlassian from its founding in 2001 by Scott and Mike who were 21 years old at the time. They had an idea for enterprise software without high prices or a large sales team. Their model was to make the software sell itself by keeping prices low so they could sell thousands of copies globally to reach 50,000 customers. Their mission is to build a different kind of software company that listens to clients, values innovation, and solves problems with simplicity while providing legendary customer service.
Minimum Viable Product
The minimum viable product (MVP) is the minimum set of features needed to learn from early adopters and avoid building products that nobody wants. It maximizes learning per dollar spent and is probably much more minimum than you think. An MVP allows achieving a big vision in small increments through iteration without going in circles chasing what customers think they want. The unit of progress is validated learning about customers through techniques like smoke testing landing pages, in-product split testing, and customer discovery to minimize the total time in the build-measure-learn loop.
Agile Management Craftsmanship
Agile is not enough.
What are the other philosophies, processes, and practices that are critical to creating successful products?
Methodolgies for Creating Worthwhile Information Systems
Discussion topics include Company Vision, Offering Product Value, Startups, Culture, Product Strategy, Co-Designing Products and Services, Entrepreneurship, Startup Ideas
Lean Startup Zurich- MVP/Idea Validation
The document discusses the Lean Startup method of building a minimum viable product (MVP) to validate ideas with customers using the least amount of effort. It provides examples of different types of MVPs like landing pages, basic webpages, crowd funding, mockups, and videos that companies have used to test hypotheses and gather customer feedback with minimal resources. The goal of an MVP is to begin the learning process as quickly as possible to determine if a product idea is valid before extensive development.

How to Build the Right Thing
The document discusses building and launching products. It provides three case studies of product failures and analyzes what caused each failure. It then discusses the importance of building product intuition by immersing oneself in the industry and shipping products. It introduces several paradigms for building the right product, such as starting with "no", focusing on the problem, using an "acid test" for new features, and setting goals for each release. The document emphasizes spending time understanding the problem before development and applying lessons to ensure new products solve user needs.
GFEW Barcelona 2013 - Xavi Beumala
This document contains notes from Xavi Beumala, the co-founder and CEO of Marfeel. It discusses the importance of analytics and product performance for startups. Key points include: having data to back up opinions, identifying the main feature of the product and building around it, analytics being part of the company culture not just a task, knowing how users are and aren't using the product/features, identifying the path to success and removing distractions, automating reports but focusing on qualitative not just quantitative data, and using metrics to understand what is working but also the reasons why.
Using Design Methods to Establish Healthy DevOps Practices - Aras Bilgen
The document discusses how design methods can be used to establish healthy DevOps practices. It outlines key design principles like working directly with actual users, welcoming ambiguity, giving form to ideas through co-creation in a safe setting, and experimenting and revising. Specific design methods that are mentioned include interviews, diary studies, collaborative process mapping workshops, and challenge mapping. The document also provides examples of how two large companies - a Turkish bank and Huawei - applied some of these principles and methods to reconsider their DevOps approaches and craft new supporting processes. It argues that mindset matters more than background, so people from any discipline can apply these human-centered design techniques.
Growth in Startup
This document discusses growth strategies for startups, including acquisition, activation, engagement, referrals, measurement, and experiments/A/B testing. It provides examples from companies like Airbnb, Uber, Twitter, Facebook, and Dropbox on experiments that drove user behavior change. One tactic discussed for Uber to gain operations against Lyft involved hiring freelancers to take Lyft rides and recruit the drivers to Uber.

Los errores que no podemos volver a cometer en el nuevo POT
Este documento analiza los errores cometidos en la formulación del Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial (POT) vigente de Bogotá que han dificultado su implementación. Señala que el POT no tuvo una visión de largo plazo clara y que no quedó establecido cuáles disposiciones eran modificables, lo que llevó a tener cuatro POT en lo que debía ser la vigencia de uno. También resalta que no fue claro para quién era jurídicamente vinculante el POT, dificultando su aplicación. El documento concluye analizando

Education & democracy week two
Dewey believed that education is essential for a democratic society to function properly. He argued that schools should aim to cultivate the skills and intelligence needed for citizens to effectively participate in society. Dewey also viewed education as a lifelong process that occurs both inside and outside of formal schooling. Furthermore, he advocated for schools to serve as miniature democratic communities where students learn important democratic values like collaboration.

Fiverr - delivering fast w/ no QA - Agile Israel 2016 Gil Wasserman
This document discusses Fiverr's approach to quality assurance called "NoQA" where QA is removed from the critical path of software development in order to allow for faster delivery of features. Some key aspects of Fiverr's NoQA approach include:
- Removing QA from being a gatekeeper and instead integrating QA as part of the development team
- Relying on developers to test their own code through techniques like unit testing and deployment to staging environments
- Focusing on continuous monitoring of production systems to identify issues once features are live
- Guiding principles of trust, autonomy, ownership and accountability to replace formal QA processes
- Embracing uncertainty and continuous learning as software development is viewed as an ongoing knowledge game

Startup Secrets - Game Changing Business Models
In our industry, it’s not uncommon for entrepreneurs to become so mono-focused on the novelty of their product that they forget to innovate sufficiently around their business model. A disruptive business model can be at least as important as a discontinuous innovation.

Got killer idea .pptx
This document provides guidance on developing a mobile app idea from concept to market launch. It recommends writing a document describing the app's purpose, audience, features, and elevator pitch. It also suggests refining this document, researching competitors, finding a developer team, creating mockups, planning development in stages, setting a launch date, and getting involved throughout the process. The overall process involves ideating the concept, building a team, planning, developing in stages, and launching the app.

Powerpoint dropbox
- Dropbox was founded in 2007 and launched in 2008 with the goal of making it easy to share files across computers and with other people.
- They applied lean startup principles, launching with a minimum viable product and getting feedback early, which helped them avoid mistakes as they grew rapidly from 100,000 to millions of users in 18 months.
- Early experiments with paid marketing like AdWords failed because the costs were too high for acquiring users. But organic growth from word-of-mouth and a viral referral program worked very well as the product solved real user problems.

HoneyMoon
The document outlines the key milestones in taking a product from initial market research through launch. It discusses conducting primary and secondary market research, creating a business canvas, plan, and case. It also mentions experience mapping the as-is and to-be states, identifying hills or priorities, affinity mapping, sprints, market strategy, price setting, community building, and launch. The document provides an overview of the roles on the product team, including the product manager, owner, project manager, design and development leads, and developers. It discusses generating ideas from user problems and pains, canvassing competitors, empathy mapping, and prioritizing ideas. It also mentions transforming hills into stories using agile methodologies.
Minimum viable product
This document provides steps to create a minimum viable product (MVP):
1. Build a prototype (e.g. landing page, video, basic app) to test hypotheses and ideas with minimal effort. Tools include Google Forms, Balsamiq, LaunchRock, WordPress.
2. Expose the prototype to customers and measure behaviors and data using tools like Google Analytics, Mixpanel, KissMetrics. Track metrics regularly to determine if the idea is worth pursuing.
3. Analyze customer data and behaviors to develop new hypotheses and ideas. Prioritize next steps and features using tools like Google Sheets and Trello. Determine if raising money to build the next iteration is needed.
Prototyping Approaches and Outcomes
Prototyping is not a new concept, but the role it plays in the design process has changed dramatically in the last few years. Proliferation of agile methods and the grassroots nature of design thinking have opened up new opportunities where research and design happen simultaneously. New tools for building digital prototypes have given design teams numerous options from very simple demos to complex proof of concepts.
The Devbridge Design team shares their experience and explore cases where prototyping has driven the design and research process. With varying levels of complexity and fidelity, each has had a different outcome.

Validating business ideas through design
Nicolò Volpato discusses his experience founding Tangible, an experience design company, and using design processes like MVPs to validate ideas and launch products. He started Tangible in 2004 while in college and has since grown it significantly. He emphasizes testing ideas with users through prototypes and MVPs to gather feedback before fully developing products. His example describes how he applied this approach in helping Moneyfarm, a financial startup, launch their product through iterative testing and validation of assumptions with users over a period of less than a year.
Holistic Product Development
In the world of agile, there is theory and then there is practice. We like to talk about self-organizing teams, asynchronous execution, BDD, TDD, and emergent architecture. We also talk about cross-functional teams: how analysts, testers, architects, technical writers, and UX designers belong on the same team, right next to programmers. It all sounds nice in theory, but how does this work in reality? What do these people actually do? How do they interact? What does it look like? Is there really a pragmatic way to make this work?
In this simulation, a cross-functional team will actually build a piece of software. Every specialist will have a hand in the process. Every specialist will also act as a generalist. Everyone will add value. And as a team, we’ll get something DONE.
This is your opportunity to see agile development in practice, and to bridge the gap between what agilists say and what teams do. And it’s not as new or as difficult as you think – affinity between testers, BA’s, coders, and other team members has really been at the root of effective development practices all along. Let’s just finally acknowledge that it works, demonstrate its capabilities, and encourage it going forward.
This IS agile development.
Get Your APP Together
Sometimes when you are starting on an idea for a project you dont know where or how to start. This is a tried and tested strategy that gets you going. From inspiration to organization, tools to knowledge, all you need to know to build the next great app.
How to find & pick a tech agency
This document provides guidance on determining if an agency is needed to build a tech product, how to search for an agency, and how to evaluate different agency options.
