Helping operations top-heavy teams the smart wayMichael Kehoe
SRE teams can sometimes run into periods of time where they have staff burnout, technical debt or poor reliability. As SRE’s, we’re programmed to keep fighting through the issues, when sometimes it’s best to step back, assess the situation; and ask for help to put the team back on a successful pathway. This talk will discuss three separate experiences where teams needed some extra help to stabilize their services and oncall. We’ll discuss how to identify struggling teams; get the right assistance; and build a strategy for the team to succeed.
The Snowman - visualising Agile project roles & responsibilities Abdul Ghafoor
Based on the DSDM team model and also known as the "Alien Baby", I have summarised the different Agile Project roles and responsibilities which may be useful for those who want a better understanding of Agile or who if you're planning on sitting the Foundation or Practitioner exams.
Does your organisation struggle with getting stuff done? In this slideshow I show you how the organization I work for get stuff done. The organisation I work for is Knightstone Housing. In the last slideshow I showed how good ideas are raised and become great ideas. Once an idea has passed through the first phase they go on the awaiting scheduling list. This is how ideas move from the awaiting scheduling list to and get done.
This is how Knightstone Housing are taking ideas and getting stuff done. Too often projects get stuck at the deciding whether the project is worthwhile stage. Knightstone are keeping projects small with the focus on getting stuff done.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology estimates that software bugs cost the U.S. economy $59.5 billion annually. If more comprehensive software testing was performed, a third of these costs could be avoided. The value of software testing is derived from the quality, price and time that are saved by releasing superior products to satisfied customers. Through techniques such as the utilization of knowledgeable and inventive software testers and early identification of defects, a company can decrease the time to market and the cost of quality, while amplifying the end-user satisfaction level. - See more at: http://www.qualitestgroup.com/The-Value-of-Software-Testing#sthash.BJI9tf3b.dpuf

Controlling Project during Development with a Defect Model, Ben Linders, Euro...Ben Linders
To get more insight into the quality of the product during development, it is needed to measure processes with two views: Introduction of defects, and detection. Introduction is done during the requirements, architecture, design and coding phases; defects are either introduced into documents or into the actual product code. Detection is done in test phases, and in the previously mentioned phases by means of inspections and reviews. By using these two measurements, a project can determine if and what the quality risk is: Too many defects in the product, or insufficient testing done.
The presentation will focus upon:
- Goals: What was the purpose of the model, why was it developed, what did we want to reach?
- How: Both the definition of the model and its implementation and application will be highlighted?
- Tools: The tool that was developed to implement the model, how it works, strengths.
- Results: How did the model and tool help the project? Did it live up to its purpose?
- Success factors: What were the key issues that we have dealt successfully with? Why did we focus on them, and how?
- Future: How is this model used in future projects, what could further increase its benefits?
The presentation will show the benefits that the model/tool has brought to the project and organisation. Mainly it was the ability to manage process & product quality, and support decisions, based on data collected in the project and industrial date, i.e. without having to build up historical data in previous projects.
The defect model uses techniques like Orthogonal Defect Classification and Test Matrices for analysis of the defect data. Feedback of the data towards designers, testers, and project management was key in validating the data, and getting good analysis results for corrective and preventive actions.
Controlling Project during Development with a Defect Model, Ben Linders, ICST...Ben Linders
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have more insight into the quality of a product, while it is developed, and not afterwards? Would you like to be able to estimate how many defects are inserted in the product in a certain phase, and how effective a (test) phase is in capturing these defects? To optimize your test phases regarding focus and effort in relation to how many defects they will find? This presentation will show a simple but very effective model that makes it possible: The Project Defect Model.
The aim of the Project Defect Model is to track product quality, take corrective actions and reduce quality risks. To get more insight into the quality of the product during development, it is needed to measure the software development processes with two views: Introduction and detection of defects. Introduction is done during the specification, design and coding phases; defects are either introduced into documents or into the actual product. Detection of defects is done via inspections and test during all the phases of the project.
A tool was developed using a spreadsheet. The purpose of the tool was to estimate the number of defects per phase, and to track all defects discovered in inspections and tests against these estimates. The tool supported analysis of the data with both calculated values and graphs comparing actuals to estimates in terms of current status and trends over time.
The Project Defect Model has been beneficial to projects. It has helped estimating, planning, and tracking quality during the project, including an estimate of the the number of defects left in the released product. The quality data has been used in the project together with time and cost data, to take better decisions on test, review and inspections, and design. Also it has identified quality risks at an early stage, helping the project take corrective actions and decisions on product release and maintenance capacity planning. Finally the model provided insight into the effectiveness of the verification activities, supporting effective process improvement.

Code Yellow: Helping operations top-heavy teams the smart wayMichael Kehoe
We will look at the process for Code Yellow, the term we use for this process of "righting the ship," and discuss how to identify teams that are struggling. Through a look at three separate experiences, we will examine some of the root causes, what steps were taken, and how the engineering organization as a whole supports the process.
Code Yellow: Helping Operations Top-Heavy Teams the Smart WayTodd Palino
All engineering teams run into trouble from time to time. Alert fatigue, caused by technical debt or a failure to plan for growth, can quickly burn out SREs, overloading both development and operations with reactive work. Layer in the potential for communication problems between teams, and we can find ourselves in a place so troublesome we cannot easily see a path out. At times like this, our natural instinct as reliability engineers is to double down and fight through the issues. Often, however, we need to step back, assess the situation, and ask for help to put the team back on the road to success.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.
