Dealing with Shifting Priorities using Lean/Kanban Flow, WIP Limits and Capac...AgileSparks
Many teams suffer from due to conflicting priorities. When today's priority one usurps yesterday's priority one, expensive context switching becomes a problem.
Operations teams are especially hard hit by shifting priorities because of increased variability from supporting ongoing development of new projects while maintaining features & apps in production. Add in unplanned work and security issues and we have a battle between getting new features delivered or keeping production stable. Hence the dilemma DevOps is working to solve.
Dominica will talk about how Dev and Ops teams can use use a Lean flow Kanban approach to limit work-in-progress and allocate capacity for the nature of the demand as a way to address and improve prioritization issues and context switching.

What is Organizational Behavior?
To begin our study of organizational behavior, we could just say that it is the study of behavior in organizations and the study of the behavior of organizations, but such a definition reveals nothing about what this study involves or examines. To reach a more useful and meaningful definition, let’s first look at what an organization is. An organization is a collection of people who work together and coordinate their actions to achieve a wide variety of goals. The goals are what individuals are trying to accomplish as members of an organization (earning a lot of money, helping promote a worthy cause, achieving certain levels of personal power and prestige, enjoying a satisfying work experience, and so forth). The goals are also what the organization as a whole is trying to accomplish (providing innovative goods and services that customers want; getting candidates elected; raising money for medical research; making a profit to reward stockholders, managers, and employees; and being socially responsible and protecting the natural environment). An effective organization is one that achieves its goals.
Organization
A collection of people who work together and coordinate their actions to achieve individual and organizational goals.
Police forces, for example, are formed to achieve the goals of providing security for law-abiding citizens and providing police officers with a secure, rewarding career while they perform their valuable services. Paramount Pictures was formed to achieve the goal of providing people with entertainment while making a profit in the process. Actors, directors, writers, and musicians receive well-paid and interesting work.
Organizations exist to provide goods and services that people want, and the amount and quality of these goods and services are products of the behaviors and performance of an organization’s employees—of its managers, of highly skilled employees in sales or research and development, and of the employees who actually produce or provide the goods and services. Today, most people make their living by working in or for some kind of company or organization. People such as a company’s owners or managers—or company employees who desire to become future owners or managers—all benefit from studying organizational behavior. Indeed, people who seek to help or volunteer their time to work in nonprofit or charitable organizations also must learn the principles of organizational behavior. Like most employ.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

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.

6. Figure 1.3 Components of Organizational Behavior Understanding organizational behavior requires studying Individuals in Organizations Group and Team Processes Organizational Processes
In an open system, an organization takes in resources from its external environment and converts or transforms them into goods and services that are sent back to that environment, where they are bought by customers. The activities of most organizations can be modeled using the open-systems view. Consider asking students to apply the open systems model to a company’s processes. The system is said to be open because the organization draws from and interacts with the external environment to secure resources, transform them, and then sell the products created to customers.
4 Figure 1.1 illustrates how organizational behavior concepts and theories allow people to correctly understand, describe, and analyze the characteristics of individuals, groups, work situations, and the organization itself.
Organizational behavior can be examined at 3 levels: organizational, group, and individual. OB is particularly important to managers.
Figure 1.3 illustrates how the text covers the three levels of organizational behavior. Part I includes chapters 2-9. Part 2 includes chapters 10-15. Part 3 includes chapters 16-18.
The first challenge is the changing social and cultural environment. Forces in the social and cultural environment are those that are due to changes in the way people live and work – changes in values, attitudes, and beliefs brought about by changes in a nation’s culture and the characteristics of its people. National culture is the set of values or beliefs that a society considers important and the norms of behavior that are approved or sanctioned in that society. Over time, national cultures change and this affects the values and beliefs of each nation’s members. Ethics scandals have hit many companies recently including Tyco, Adelphia, Enron, and Arthur Andersen. An organization’s ethics are the values, beliefs, and moral rules its managers and employees should use to analyze or interpret a situation and then decide what is the most appropriate way to behave. Ethical organizational behavior affects the well-being (happiness, health, and prosperity) of a nation, an organization, citizens, and employees. Metabolife International’s use of ephedra in its supplements is used as an example in the text. Ethics also define an organization’s social responsibility – its obligations toward people or groups outside the organization that are directly affected by its actions.
Figure 1.6 illustrates the characteristics used to define the bases of diversity.
Diversity is differences resulting from age, gender, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic background, and capabilities/ disabilities. The increasing diversity of the work force presents three challenges for organizations and their managers: a fairness and justice challenge, a decision-making and performance challenge, and a flexibility challenge. A goal to increase diversity can strain an organization’s ability to satisfy the aspirations of at least part of its work force. Actively recruiting and promoting minorities can lead to difficult equity issues. How can organizations benefit from the attitudes and perspectives of people with diverse backgrounds? The third diversity challenge is to be sensitive to the needs of different kinds of employees and to try to develop flexible employment approaches that increase their well-being. Examples include new benefits packages customized to needs of different groups of employees (e.g., domestic partner benefits), flextime, job sharing, and mentoring.

Information is a set of data, facts, numbers, and words that has been organized in such a way as to provide its users with knowledge. Knowledge is what a person perceives, recognizes, identifies, or discovers from analyzing data and information. IT consists of the many different kinds of computer and communications hardware and software and the skills designers, programmers, managers, and technicians bring to it. IT is used to acquire, define, input, arrange, organize, manipulate, store, and transmit facts, data, and information to create knowledge and promote organizational learning. Organizational learning occurs when members can manage information and knowledge to achieve a better fit between the organization and its environment. Intranets are networks of IT inside an organization that links its members. Creativity is the generation of novel and useful ideas. Innovation is an organization’s ability to make new or improved goods and services or improvements in the way they are produced.
Downsizing is the process by which organizations lay off managers and workers to reduce costs Empowerment is the process of giving employees throughout an organization the authority to make important decisions and be responsible for their outcomes. Self-managed team are work groups who have been empowered and given the responsibility for leading themselves and ensuring that they accomplish their goals. Contingent workers are people who are employed for temporary periods by an organization and who receive no benefits such as health insurance or pensions. Outsourcing is the process of employing people and groups outside the organization to perform specific jobs or types of work activities that used to be performed by the organization itself. This is accomplished sometimes by freelancers – independent individuals who contract with an organization to perform specific tasks.
