Michael kennedy set-based decision making taming system complexityAGILEMinds
The document discusses challenges with traditional "phase-gate" product development approaches and describes an alternative set-based decision making approach used by Toyota. Specifically, it notes that phase-gate approaches often result in project delays and cost overruns due to decisions made early in development before critical knowledge is known. In contrast, Toyota focuses on developing knowledge through rapid cycles of learning and convergence across projects, delaying design decisions as long as possible and doing more validation testing upfront to learn before designing. This set-based approach manages knowledge growth into products through cadences of learning pulled into successive launches.

"Lean software development: discovering waste" by Mary PoppendieckOperae Partners
The document discusses lean principles for software development. It notes that standard lean tools designed for operations may not be appropriate for application development. Lean principles for development focus on building the right thing, building it right, and delivering fast through techniques like designing based on customer needs, reducing waste from extra features and handoffs, embedding quality through testing, and minimizing technical debt.
The document discusses agile development principles and practices, and how refactoring code supports adapting systems to changes. It covers how agile values individuals, collaboration, and responding to change over rigid processes. Refactoring is encouraged in agile to allow requirements and code to evolve safely. Testing is important for validating changes from refactoring. Examples of refactorings like extract method are provided. The document also discusses using refactoring and design patterns to make systems more adaptable to changing requirements.
This document provides an overview of Acceptance Test Driven Development (ATDD) for building web applications. It begins with an introduction to the author and their company Futurice. It then defines ATDD as expressing functional requirements as concrete examples or expectations prior to development. The document discusses benefits of ATDD such as establishing a shared understanding of requirements, early regression detection, and producing executable documentation. It also notes potential challenges of ATDD including difficulty, lack of automation, and initial overhead. Finally, it provides steps for formulating test cases and demonstrates an example using a stopwatch application.
UX strategy lacks strategy, it is usually just a glorified waterfall process, even agile processes are just incremental waterfall. This presentation tells the current state of UX strategy in pictures while it outlines a real UX Strategy in words.
Accessibility as a Design Tool
Derek Featherstone argues that accessibility should be integrated into design workflows from the beginning of any project. He advocates including people with disabilities in user research, testing designs for accessibility, and validating solutions with people with disabilities. Featherstone believes accessibility makes for better design overall when incorporated throughout the entire design process, from project definition to launch.
This presentation is from Scrum Gathering 2011 in Seattle, WA, USA. Much of the presentation involved showing tools and techniques outside the slide deck along with exercises that the participants would perform for learning purposes.

Slides from my talk at Agile India 2012 (http://agile2012.in). This talk introduces concepts of lean startup and presents a case study of product development at Ennova (www.ennova.com.au)
This master's thesis summarizes the author Tatjana Pavlenko's research on applying agile methodologies like Scrum to software design and programming. Over 4 cycles from December 2011 to April 2012, Pavlenko worked with Company Sigma, a software development team of 8 members creating iOS apps, to design an effective Scrum approach for their distributed team. Initial obstacles included the team not being self-organized and the designer being left out of Scrum practices. Through improvements like online collaboration tools, prototypes, and special Scrum methods for the designer, the final results showed a more self-organized team with the designer more involved in Scrum. The conclusion is that not forcing teams to strictly use Scrum but adapting practices to
The document presents a 10 step model for agile requirements that includes defining the objective, stakeholders, vision, roles, personas, user stories, acceptance tests, development, delivery, and checking the delivered value. It argues that there is more to requirements than just user stories and that projects should either take a "salami slice" or goal-directed agile approach. The model is intended to provide insights and ideas for linking together all aspects of agile requirements.
This is a 45 minute presentation I will be delivering at a company-wide meeting to discuss:
* How push-button release was used to help entire enterprise go from 6 month to 1 week release cycles
* How a "No Defect" team policy with ATDD drives greater productivity
Closing the feedback loop with a little help from your friendsJackson Fox
Integrating customer feedback into an agile process is a challenge. Iterations are short, and finding time for research, design & development means making sacrifices. In this session we’ll talk about finding organizational allies who can become collaborators in customer feedback tasks, getting effective & timely results, & potential pitfalls. Enlisting your organization in these efforts builds a customer-centric culture and provides the team with critical input. Examples will be drawn from our experience at Viget Labs re-designing the international web presence of a global hotel chain.
Five risk management rules for the project managerJohn Goodpasture
The document outlines five rules for risk management:
1) There are no objective estimates of the future due to cognitive biases like anchoring and availability. Facts are in the past while estimates rely on perception.
2) Requirements are never fully complete since it's impossible to imagine everything.
3) Central tendency smoothing washes out asymmetrical extremes, with pessimism and optimism balancing out.
4) Confidence in schedules degrades exponentially after work streams merge due to merge bias.
5) Probabilistic risk analysis models like FMEA are needed for systems with many interdependent parts, to understand behavior and failures.
Agile tour 2011 ralph jocham - scrum primerAgora Group
Scrum is an agile framework that can help address complex problems and develop high-value products. It consists of roles, artifacts, and events used to structure development into sprints. The roles include the product owner, development team, and scrum master. Artifacts include the product backlog, sprint backlog, and increment. Events include sprint planning, daily scrums, sprint reviews, and retrospectives. Scrum takes an empirical, transparent, inspect-and-adapt approach to product development through short iterations.
The document discusses orienting innovation by defining what innovation means, identifying challenges to innovation, and proposing a framework for collecting, selecting, scoping, and building programs around innovative ideas. It suggests using tools like the Realm and Motive Matrix, CV3 ratings, and novelty, complexity, technology, and pace critiques to evaluate ideas and develop roadmaps and delivery programs focused on business outcomes rather than IT outputs. The goal is to ensure value is delivered through a process of evaluating, directing, and monitoring innovative initiatives.
1. The document discusses what user interface designers can learn from architecture, including design, solving human problems, and working within constraints.
2. It recommends that UI designers claim the role of architects by learning computer science principles and system designs, and to not be afraid to discard even good ideas if they don't fit.
3. UI designers are also advised to avoid breaking established paradigms that users have become accustomed to, unless changing paradigms is a core part of the product's design.

3. The document also discusses techniques for improving backlogs through envisioning, estimating at a large scale, and coordinating feature and component teams.
The document discusses several challenges that can arise when adopting agile development methods. It describes how operations can become overwhelmed if too many features are released too frequently in short cycles without proper automation or quality assurance testing. It also notes that continuous development should not be an excuse for poorly defined goals or requirements that require reworking the data model or architecture with every iteration. The document provides suggestions for addressing these issues, such as scheduling production releases every 2-3 cycles, focusing on quality assurance, and ensuring development priorities are on the end user experience rather than just completing tasks.
This document provides an overview of Joe Sokohl's presentation on detailed design for preserving the user experience vision. The presentation covers what detailed design is, where it breaks down, and potential solutions. It applies to agencies, independent UX practitioners, and distributed or cross-border teams.

This document defines organizational culture and describes its key elements. It discusses that culture is comprised of shared beliefs, assumptions, values and norms that shape group behavior. Culture is transmitted through socialization and exists when shared by most group members, passed between generations, and influences behavior. The core elements of culture include observable practices/symbols and deeper assumptions/values. The document then examines different types of organizational cultures like bureaucratic, clan, market, and entrepreneurial cultures and how they influence behaviors and performance. Finally, it discusses how strong, well-socialized cultures can enhance performance and satisfaction if a common style is developed and reinforced.
Organizational culture is defined as the shared meanings, values, and beliefs of members within an organization. It distinguishes one organization from others and influences employee behavior. Strong cultures provide benefits like consistency and commitment but can also lead to inflexibility and resistance to change. National culture differs from organizational culture in its level of impact on employees and origins from consistency in practices rather than values. An organization's culture defines its identity, provides a sense of purpose, and facilitates commitment among members.
Organizational culture is defined as the shared beliefs, customs, traditions, and values of an organization's members. It is shaped by an organization's founders, leaders, selection practices, and socialization of new employees. Maintaining culture involves selecting new members who share the existing values and socializing them to accept prevailing norms and customs through stories, rituals, symbols, and language used in the organization.
Organizational culture refers to the shared values, beliefs, and behaviors of members of an organization. A strong organizational culture can attract and retain talent, engage employees, create energy and momentum, and make everyone more successful. Culture is learned through stories, rituals, symbols, and language within the organization. Founders and top management play important roles in establishing and maintaining an organization's culture through selection practices, actions, and socialization of new employees. While difficult to change, understanding organizational culture is important for managing change within a company.
Organizational culture refers to shared meanings and behaviors among members of an organization. It is shaped by founders and reinforced over time through socialization, stories, rituals, and symbols. A strong culture with clear values can increase commitment and coordination but may also resist change and diversity. Managers can develop an ethical culture through role modeling, training, and rewarding ethical conduct. National culture also influences how organizational culture is expressed in other countries.
The document outlines the SIPs (Strategic Innovation Processes) process which includes four main phases: 1) Define & Discovery, 2) Design & Architecture, 3) Development & Execution, and 4) Roll Out. It also lists the roles involved in a project including founders, partners, team members, and users/stakeholders.
Arch factory - Agile Design: Best PracticesIgor Moochnick
This document provides guidance on agile architecture and design principles. It emphasizes that agile design is about responding quickly to change for customers and teams through transparency, lightweight processes, and continuous learning. Key principles discussed include designing incrementally without large upfront design; getting early and continuous feedback; delaying commitment and complexity; and maximizing evolutionary design through reversibility and packaging. The document also covers topics like testing, distributed teams, and delivering frequently.
Pair Programming, TDD and other impractical thingsMarcello Duarte
"Why should we write our tests first? Isn't that going to slow my development?" "What? Assigning a single task to 2 developers? How is that efficient? What a waste of resources!" "Look, in the perfect world your advises are great, but I have a project to finish here." In this talk Marcello explores efficiency in contrast to effectiveness. He looks into how practices, traditionally accepted as efficient, sometimes turn out to be less effective than a few "impractical" things he has come across.
The document discusses estimation in agile projects, noting that agile methods use iterative development with frequent delivery of working software to allow for emergence of requirements and capabilities. Agile estimation is done at both the iteration and release level, with developers re-estimating effort for upcoming iterations based on experience from previous iterations. Daily stand-up meetings, iteration planning meetings, and retrospectives help facilitate collaboration, adaptation, and continuous improvement in agile projects.
GETTING STARTED WITH ASSESSMENT PROJECT MANAGEMENT & WRITING GOOD QUESTIONSJen Rutner
This document provides guidance on conducting library assessment projects, including developing a culture of assessment, project management, and writing good survey questions. It recommends forming a representative committee, creating a detailed project plan with objectives and timelines, understanding your team's roles and skills, and identifying the decision makers who will use the results. When writing questions, the document advises making them clear, unbiased, and allowing different perspectives. Staff should test the questions for understandability and ensure they can be answered as intended. The overall goal is to conduct data-informed assessment to improve library services and maximize positive outcomes for users.
Kepner Tregoe Developing Your Hr Project Management SkillsJessica Booth
The document discusses developing project management skills. It introduces Kepner-Tregoe, an international consulting firm, and their approach to project management. Their approach focuses on critical success factors like project organization, culture, process, and reporting. Effective project management requires defining the project, objectives, and work breakdown structure. It also requires factors like commitment, planning, and clear success criteria.
This document discusses how traditional project management approaches can fall short for complex work, and introduces Agile product development using Scrum as a framework. It explains that Scrum focuses on maximizing business value through collaborative customer engagement and empirical process improvement over comprehensive planning. Scrum is presented as a practical method for complex work where needs may change, using short development cycles called sprints to iteratively deliver working software or products.
The document discusses roles and responsibilities in continuous process improvement (CPI). It describes the CPI deployment director as owning the deployment plan and communication plan. Project sponsors are responsible for the project charter and removing barriers. Process owners implement process changes. Black belts and green belts lead CPI projects under a master black belt. A DACI chart defines roles as drivers, approvers, contributors, and informers. CPI uses tollgates to approve project definitions, measures, analyses, improvements and controls.

From Waterfall to Agile - from predictive to adaptive methodsBjörn Jónsson
In this introduction into Agile methods, the background and environment of Software Development is discussed. Results of the 1995 Chaos report are mentioned, as well as interests in adaptive "lightweight" methods. Agile methods are explained in general and Scrum method taken as a concrete sample.
The document summarizes the engineering design process used in industry and relates it to the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). It outlines the major phases of analysis, design, build, test, and support. Each phase has goals and steps. For example, the analysis phase involves defining requirements and breaking the robot system into subsystems. The design phase includes preliminary and detailed design, selecting alternatives, and creating drawings. The build phase has the robot constructed from purchased and fabricated parts. Testing verifies performance and requirements are met before the robot is supported in competitions.
3 Keys to Great Customer Experience When Launching Web and Mobile ApplicationsCompuware APM
Designing a great application is only part of ensuring a great customer experience. Ensuring that the application meets business and user expectations in a way that attracts and keeps customers wanting more, yet protecting and increasing business interests is the key to a great customer experience.
Join guest speaker Margo Visitacion of Forrester Research Inc, and Mark Eshelby of Compuware for this webinar about Designing and Launching Web and Mobile Applications that delight your customers and are good business.

• Today’s teams must focus on a wider range of requirements to verify in complex environments
–how do web and mobile applications change the customer experience?
• Why application development professionals must use collaborative test design principles and approaches .
• How to approach testing your Web and Mobile Applications focusing on the end user experience.
The document provides an overview of agile principles and practices. It discusses what agile is, principles behind the agile manifesto like satisfying customers through early delivery, welcoming changing requirements, having business and developers work together daily, and using face-to-face conversation. It also covers agile practices like Scrum, Kanban, and product backlogs. Challenges of adopting agile like managing projects and contracting are addressed as well as common causes of failed agile projects like lack of management support and understanding of agile.
This document outlines the define phase of an 8-step continuous process improvement (CPI) roadmap. The define phase includes activities like identifying problems, validating the problem statement, establishing strategic alignment, gathering customer input, and creating a goal statement. It also lists required deliverables for the define tollgate, such as a problem statement, goal statement, project scope, timeline, and high-level process map. The document provides an overview of the key elements and documentation needed to properly define a CPI project.
Agile estimation and planning focuses on iterative development with short planning cycles. Teams work together in short iterations to deliver working software. Planning occurs through story mapping and estimation rather than detailed Gantt charts. Constant inspection and adaptation allows teams to respond to changes rather than rigidly following a predefined plan. Traditional waterfall planning fails because it relies on overly optimistic estimates far into the future and does not adapt to new information learned.
