Introduction to Recipes for Agile Governance in the Enterprise (RAGE)Cprime
Large enterprises that develop software cannot function without structure, but often develop structures that cripple productivity and impair responsiveness to customer needs. This Webinar introduces an approach to building effective structures by introducing the concept of Agile governance.
Agile governance provides formalized practices for decision making (governance) which incorporate the principles of the Agile Manifesto and Lean Engineering. The result is a set of simple recipes for selecting, planning, organizing, and tracking work at all levels in the organization (the Portfolio, Program, and Project levels), which apply within or across Business Units. We also provide guidance on how to develop new recipes, when needed.
This webinar introduces the basic concepts of Agile governance. We will look at some existing concepts (such as Scrum of Scrums and SAFe), and lay the foundations for subsequent webinars that address specific scenarios of common interest.
Are miscommunications, handoff delays and unforeseen issues impacting your organization's ability to deliver? View these slides to learn how to reflect your work structure in LeanKit so that you can keep work flowing across multiple teams.

You might have heard of Lean – Toyota & Boeing are among the best exponents of Lean thinking, but it’s used by almost all of the top 1000 blue chip companies to drive effectiveness. Simplistically, Lean involves studying all of the activities carried out during delivery of a product or service, improving those that add value and eliminating those that don’t. By identifying discontinuities and poorly coordinated or unproductive activities throughout the delivery team and supply chain Lean can eliminate waste and improve value.
Lean Project Management is the theme of the March 16 Norfolk Branch event to be held at the Norfolk Record Office.

Benefits highlighted include faster time to market, higher quality, better usability, and satisfied customers.
Since my first contact with Agile, as a Business Performance Manager in a large engineering company, my first thought was “Agile is not for IT!” Agile can be applied beyond IT teams and projects!
This is how my Agile journey started in 2009… with finance & Marketing teams
Let us revisit the sources, the values, principles and practices and see why Agile can go beyond IT;
and why this is a key factor in overcoming the challenges of large transformations.
Explores underlying principles that make Agile development work, and seeks to uncover where those principles might be in conflict with key assumptions that drive management practices.
The goal is to learn what we in the movement can do to drive positive change in our own organizations as well as in the wider world of software development. After all, there may be challenges with an Agile approach, but falling back to blind adherence to a plan-driven approach is not the answer.
Touches on how to scale Agile above the team level.
The document discusses CMMI and its relationship to agile methods. It provides an overview of CMMI, including its model components and levels. It also discusses some key principles of agile development like iterative delivery, emphasis on working software, and responding to change. The document suggests that CMMI and agile can work together by focusing on continuous process improvement and empiricism through inspection and adaptation of both products and processes.
This document provides an overview of agile methodology for software development. It discusses how agile practices arose in response to the limitations of traditional waterfall approaches. The core principles of agile include valuing individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change. Agile methods embrace changing requirements, frequent delivery of working software, collaboration between business and technical teams, self-organizing teams, and continuous improvement.
The document discusses the history and origins of the Agile Manifesto, which was created in 2001 by 17 software experts to provide an alternative to traditional documentation-driven development processes. It outlines the 4 core values and 12 principles of the Agile Manifesto, which focus on prioritizing customer satisfaction, welcoming changing requirements, frequent delivery of working software, collaboration between business and developers, motivated individuals, face-to-face communication, and responding to change over rigid plans. The principles aim to address issues with traditional processes by promoting practices like frequent delivery, collaboration, simplicity, self-organizing teams, and continuous improvement.
True agility is realized when organizations embrace coaching. Changing terms and sending some members off to training is not enough to really change the organizational mindset. This presentation focuses on how to create a mindset of future coaches.

DCSUG - We Are The Leaders We Have Been Waiting For by Lyssa AdkinsExcella
WE ARE THE LEADERS WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR:
AGILISTS AND OUR VALUES ON THE LEADING EDGE OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT
If we Agilists value individuals and interactions over processes and tools, why do processes and tools so often run the show? In this talk, Lyssa offers two good reasons why she thinks this is so and shows the way out with some solid, but not well known, human technologies. Using eye-opening adult human development models, this keynote lays out the challenging terrain we need to traverse -- which is for us to get good at helping people in organizations develop their mental capabilities, not just change their mind-sets. When this happens, we will be able to help organizations do more than just "talk the talk" about valuing individuals and interactions over processes and tools (as well as fully living into all of the other Agile values). It's a big challenge but we are up for it! It turns out that our community at large is on the leading edge of adult human development and, if we can develop ourselves, we can help others do the same. It's our time. We are the leaders we have been waiting for. Lyssa will show you why this is so, give you some food-for-thought about your own development and offer practical ways to help develop others so that the full promise of Agile comes true more often.
This document discusses servant leadership. It defines servant leadership as a philosophy that enriches lives, builds better organizations, and creates a more just world.

DCSUG - The Art and Practice of the Agile LeaderExcella
The document discusses the need for organizational agility in today's volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) business environment. It argues that an agile "sense and respond" approach is needed rather than a traditional "predict and plan" methodology. To develop true organizational agility, the entire organization must embrace agile principles, not just software development teams. This requires transforming organizational culture, structures, and leadership mindsets from a traditional "machine model" to one based on "living systems" principles. The document proposes a model for cultivating an "agile leadership operating system" focused on personal mastery, relationship skills, and enabling organizational complexity and transformation.
DCSUG - Happiness: A Key Component of AgileExcella
The document discusses how happiness is a key component of agile implementations. It provides objectives like connecting happiness to agile, improving agile implementations, and sharing techniques for overcoming adversity. It then covers topics like what drives people, different views of happiness, sources of happiness like autonomy and purpose, and how positivity expands thinking whereas fear narrows it. Finally, it discusses how agile embraces uncertainty and focuses on the positive compared to traditional waterfall approaches, and gives examples of how scrum principles can promote happiness and motivation in teams.
Exploratory testing involves going off-script to find undiscovered bugs by using a tester's intuition and experience. It is a high-value form of testing. Effective exploratory testing uses charters, mind maps, and heuristics. Charters provide a framework for exploration by outlining resources, target areas, and information to discover. Mind maps visually represent a system. Heuristics are techniques like following data flows or testing edge cases. Adopting exploratory testing involves starting with foundational practices like using charters and mind maps, and progressing to more advanced practices like prioritizing heuristics and creating metrics. Challenges in transitioning teams include changing mindsets, gaining access to systems, and adapting to continuous

The 7 Secrets of Highly Effective Retrospectives (DCSUG)Excella
Slides from the DC Scrum User Group event on 4/25/2016 titled, "The 7 Secrets of Highly Effective Retrospectives" by David Horowitz.
http://www.meetup.com/DC-Scrum/events/228807928/
Retrospectives are the core of agility. And yet they are often the scrum ceremony that is most frequently skipped. Many teams like the idea of the retrospective but find them boring, or worse ineffective.
Join Retrium CEO and Co-Founder David Horowitz as he reveals seven secrets that lead to effective retrospectives. You'll learn:* The best way to ensure your retrospectives lead to real change* The "pledge" everyone on your team must take before participating* How to know who to include in each retrospective* The single most important thing you can do to keep your team engaged during the retro* And much, much more!
Want to bring your productivity to the next level? Let's gain a desire based on an experience to make this happen.
Are you struggling with delivering a potentially releasable working product every iteration? Ever wonder what one of biggest reasons we have difficulty getting things done at the individual, team and organizational level are? Do you keep doing something even though you know it reduces your productivity and lowers quality? We are going to run an exercise that highlights one of the major culprits that you have all experienced and continue to experience. The exercise will likely ignite a little fire that will help you become more productive and improve the quality of your work. We will also discuss ways to improve this at the individual, team and organization levels. Learning Objectives for this presentation are as follows:
- Gain an understanding, through an exercise, of the cost to productivity a common habit has, that many of us indulge in.
- A new found desire to fix one of the major issues that reduces productivity and quality.
- 2 approaches to fixing the issue.

Tactics to Kickstart Your Journey Toward DevOpsExcella
Jeff Gallimore presented tactics for organizations to kickstart their journey toward DevOps. He emphasized starting small with a focus on test automation, using metrics and stories to justify changes, and celebrating early successes. While change can feel difficult, DevOps helps improve productivity and release quality over the long run.
Tactics to Kickstart Your Journey Toward Continuous DeliveryExcella
You’re probably a believer in the benefits of continuous delivery and DevOps (why else would you be at this meetup?). The rest of your organization... maybe not so much. Maybe you’re getting pushback on changes you believe will make your organization better. Maybe you’re not sure where or how to start to give yourself the best chance of making a change that will work.
I’ll give you some tactics to start your journey toward continuous delivery (or toward any meaningful change, for that matter). I’ll also show how you might apply those tactics to address a specific challenge: adding test automation to a large legacy codebase. The goal is that you walk away with more tools in your “change toolkit” and a little more enthusiasm for shaking things up for the better where you work.
Using ansible vault to protect your secretsExcella
This document discusses how Ansible Vault can be used to encrypt sensitive data like passwords and private keys to protect secrets when committing infrastructure as code to source control on GitHub. It recommends encrypting only sensitive information, not all files, and splitting encrypted variable files into directories. It also provides tips for using a password script and Jenkins to automate running plays with encrypted data without exposing passwords in plain text. The document aims to help balance the security of encrypting secrets with the usability of infrastructure as code workflows.
Using Lean Thinking to Increase the Value of AgileExcella
“Agile doesn’t have a brain.” This quote from Bill Scott, VP, Business Engineering and Product Development at PayPal, is provocative for sure, but it spotlights the notion that in most organizations Agile is primarily applied as a downstream engineering approach that isn’t inherently concerned with optimizing product design and user experience, the determinants of value to the customer. The learning cycles that form the basis of Scrum are focused on verification and validation of user needs as they are already identified in the backlog’s user stories, but provide little guidance on how to translate organizational goals and customer needs into the backlog’s content and relative priorities in the first place. As a result, the danger persists that Agile teams end up very efficiently building products that implement an incomplete and subjective perception of customers’ wants and needs.
This presentation explores how Lean thinking can expand the “inspect and adapt” cycles of Agile development beyond implementation and help to systematically determine which features and design choices really provide the greatest customer value. After a brief introduction to Lean concepts, the presentation discusses how Lean approaches product development as a series of hypotheses about customers’ value perception and builds on Agile’s rapid iterative delivery of working software to test these assumptions. Finally, it highlights ways to derive testable assumptions from organizational goals, such as the Lean UX Hypothesis Statement template and Gojko Adzic’s Impact Mapping.
Lean is having an increasingly pervasive presence in the software world these days. Lean Software Development has its seven principles and seven wastes and promises to improve efficiency and quality. Many of the most innovative software development companies profess to have their philosophical home in Lean Startup's 'Build-Measure-Learn' approach, rather than Agile. But is Lean the same as Agile? And what about the proponents of Lean UX who are challenging the emerging orthodoxy of Agile SDLC frameworks with slogans like "Agile doesn't have a brain"?
In this session, we will explore the basic ideas of Lean thinking, similarities and differences between different flavors of Lean, how Lean can be applied to software development, and finally how Lean concepts can be used to expand the built-in 'inspect and adapt' cycles of Scrum to include learning about customer value.
CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

The 12 Principals of Agile Software
1. Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery
of valuable software.
2. Welcome changing requirements, even late in development. Agile processes harness
change for the customer's competitive advantage.
3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months,
with a preference to the shorter timescale.
4. Business people and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support
they need, and trust them to get the job done.
6. The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a
development team is face-to-face conversation.
7. Working software is the primary measure of progress.
8. Agile processes promote sustainable development. The sponsors, developers, and
users should be able to maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
9. Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design enhances agility.
10. Simplicity--the art of maximizing the amount of work not done--is essential.
11. The best architectures, requirements, and designs emerge from self-organizing teams.
12. At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes
and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
