AtlasCamp 2015: Bruce Lee and the essence of Agile
Chris Mountford, Atlassian
Agile methods are now a sea of competing schools: TDD, Scrum, Kanban, XP, each with an answer to "best practice", like warring factions in imperial China, each with their own "best kung fu". Transcending the clutter, we refocus on the essence of agile guided by master of agility, Bruce Lee.

from http://www.xpdays.de/2017/sessions/keynote-freitag-bernd-schiffer.html
A surprising amount of companies is still using antiquated techniques like resource pools. Not only are they costly, but also hinder productivity and effectiveness. Business people wait for weeks and months to get a 20-minute job done? Not uncommon with resource pools.
Feature teams, on the other hand, do have certain characteristics providing the organisation to get things done big time: supported by product owner and team facilitator, self-organised and cross-functional, stable, dedicated, and proactive.
This session shows a path from resource pools to feature teams via self-selection of teams, including common fears and doubts during this culture-changing journey.
Quovantis design principles
A good design can only be created once we are in sync with the goals of the users, their operating context and their mental models. A brief description about are our @Quovantis design principles.
Scrum and DevOps training
The document provides an overview of Agile, Scrum, and DevOps principles and processes. Some key points:
- Agile values individuals, interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change over processes, tools, documentation, and following a plan.
- Scrum uses roles of Product Owner, Scrum Master, and Development Team and artifacts like user stories, burn down charts, and impediment logs within sprints, daily scrums, sprint reviews and retrospectives.
- DevOps aims to unify software development and operations through collaboration, automation, continuous integration, delivery and deployment to achieve speed, stability, and alignment with business objectives. It advocates for frequent code integration and deployment to

How to succeed as technical lead or development manager
A catalog of technical skills and behaviors one needs to succeed as a technology lead or a development manager of agile teams. http://quovantis.com/
Structured slack in scrum teams
If we can’t be trusted we create a fear of conflict. The fear of conflict results in an intra-team lack of commitment. Lack of commitment ends up in an avoidance of accountability and an inattention to results.
This is called the five dysfunctions of a team. Let’s have a look at the root cause and a way to create trust and pride of delivery.
This presentation shows how to – with a few easy tools – motivate the right behavior with the Scrum beginners, and how to sustain and build more trust as the team evolves into a “producing” and a “performing” team.
Attendees should have basic understanding of Scrum at team level, and possibly already met some challenges that requires action. Scrum Masters, Product owners or Scrum Developers will gain the most. It’s a team tool – not a management tool.
Building A devopsy Team
This document provides tips for growing a devops team by breaking down historical silos between development and operations. It recommends starting by analyzing pain points, creating a cross-functional team with shared goals, improving communication, getting buy-in, automating processes, measuring success and failure, and giving everyone full access and responsibilities. The overall message is that devops requires cultural and process changes, not buying products, and is a continuous improvement journey.

Mural: Build Experiences Not Features
How well do you think your product team takes what they learn from their users and puts it into the next iteration of the product? How well does your team come to a common understanding of what the next iteration of the product will look like and then build a product that reflects that common understanding?
These two problems — improving your product with user research and effective team collaboration — can both be solved with a design tool called User Story Mapping.
Great Agile in a UX World
Presented at UX Scotland in Edinburgh on 6/8/2016. Many of us are thrust into an Agile Development world. How do we do our best UX in a process designed by developers? Where do we belong and how do we work within a Scrum team?

The document discusses prototyping and provides guidance on creating paper prototypes. It emphasizes that prototyping is an iterative process used to gain feedback and insights. It recommends starting with storyboarding to plan interactions and convey the setting, sequence, and user experience. Tips are provided for creating paper prototypes quickly using various materials like paper, cardboard, and transparencies. The goal of paper prototyping is to test interaction flows at low cost before implementing a digital prototype.
體驗劇場_1050524_W14_易用性測試_楊政達
The document discusses usability testing, which involves testing a product on representative users to identify usability problems, collect data on user performance, and measure satisfaction, in order to improve the product design through an iterative process before public release. It covers planning tests, conducting tests by having users complete tasks while observers take notes, and analyzing the results to identify issues and make design modifications. The goal of usability testing is to create products that are useful, efficient, engaging, error-tolerant, and easy to learn for the intended users.

Scrum is often criticized as "failed" due to typical barriers such as a project mindset instead of a product mindset, isolated teams instead of interconnected networks, and rushing into agile practices without establishing software craftsmanship. The document outlines seven common barriers to successful scrum implementation and provides solutions such as adopting a product mindset, establishing self-managing cross-functional teams, emphasizing software craftsmanship principles, replacing heroism with collaborative problem solving, taking an empirical view instead of a certainty mindset, practicing professional scrum over mechanical scrum processes, and scaling the product rather than scrum practices.
Guerrilla Usability
The document discusses guerrilla usability testing as an affordable and informal method for evaluating products. Key points include:
- Guerrilla testing involves getting people off the street to complete tasks on a product while being observed to uncover unexpected issues.
- Only a small number of testers (5-12) are needed to find most usability problems.
- The method was used by the author to test an online booking engine, finding issues with map controls and elements that were unclear.
- While informal, guerrilla testing can effectively inform the design process and highlight problems early to improve the user experience.
Scrum model in game development
The document discusses how the Scrum framework can be applied to game development. It explains that Scrum is an agile development process where self-organizing teams work in sprints to deliver working software every 2-4 weeks based on priorities set by business stakeholders. It then outlines the typical Scrum ceremonies like sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives. Finally, it poses several questions about how requirements, roadmaps, designers, testers, bugs, changes to requirements, and large team sizes are handled when using Scrum for game development projects.
Agile at enterprice level
The document discusses scaling agile frameworks at the enterprise level, specifically the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). It provides an overview of SAFe, which is a template for structuring large software development organizations to be agile. SAFe aims to optimize alignment, visibility and collaboration across teams through elements like program increments, the portfolio backlog, feature planning meetings and system demos. It also discusses techniques within SAFe like limiting work-in-progress, prioritizing based on cost of delay, and establishing an overall framework for continuous improvement.

GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

In the process, we will learn the secret sauce used to get ScyllaDB's high availability and superior performance. We will also touch on the upcoming changes to ScyllaDB architecture, moving to strongly consistent metadata and tablets.
"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena Syrota
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

"NATO Hackathon Winner: AI-Powered Drug Search", Taras Kloba
This is a session that details how PostgreSQL's features and Azure AI Services can be effectively used to significantly enhance the search functionality in any application.
In this session, we'll share insights on how we used PostgreSQL to facilitate precise searches across multiple fields in our mobile application. The techniques include using LIKE and ILIKE operators and integrating a trigram-based search to handle potential misspellings, thereby increasing the search accuracy.
We'll also discuss how the azure_ai extension on PostgreSQL databases in Azure and Azure AI Services were utilized to create vectors from user input, a feature beneficial when users wish to find specific items based on text prompts. While our application's case study involves a drug search, the techniques and principles shared in this session can be adapted to improve search functionality in a wide range of applications. Join us to learn how PostgreSQL and Azure AI can be harnessed to enhance your application's search capability.
