Wireframing Workshop - TiE Women Create-a-ThonKristine Howard
A talk given at the TiE Sydney Create-a-Thon on July 18, 2015 on what wireframing is, the benefits, what fidelity means, and tools and techniques to get started.
The document discusses common mistakes made when creating PowerPoint presentations. It states that one major mistake is including all of the verbatim text you plan to say on the slides, as this means you have nothing additional to say and audiences will finish reading before you finish speaking. Another mistake is overusing bullet points, sound effects, and animated transitions as these can be distracting. The document recommends practicing your presentation and not relying solely on the slides to remember your talking points.
Brief presentation of Robin Williams' four principles from The Non-Designers Design Book (Peachpit Press). Organized for classroom presentation in SCI 2777 Storytelling with Data.

Introduction to Storyboarding for User Experience DesignDeb Aoki
An introduction to storyboarding for user experience (UX) design, with tips and examples from eBay and Citrix. A presentation for World Innovation Lab in Palo Alto in June 2015.
This document contains links to Flickr photos and discusses various risk management techniques including real options, feature injection, and staff liquidity. It introduces Chris Matts as discussing risk management and includes photos related to context, real options of choosing option A or B, using MoSCoW or M prioritization techniques, determining if a new feature is needed, and ensuring staff availability. The document examines different approaches to risk analysis and project prioritization.
Many organisations start implementing Agile in a cultural context that is mostly non-Agile. This often creates a significant number of tensions and frictions that the teams adoption Agile are not fully aware of and that can be mitigated using Kanban.
Jose will discuss how we can Kanban to successfully introduce Agile principles and practices in non-Agile organisations, why and how Agility can help businesses significantly improve their results and what are some of the most surprising business performance metrics that we can improve using modern management methods.
Feedback from this talk include:
"I have completely changed my thoughts on bringing upstream people into this with us."
"I took away many invaluable points that my colleagues and I can work on together."
"We're already pretty Agile and applying lean principles, but I still got a huge amount out of your talk and feel very inspired"
Kanban. Dealing with the elephant in the room. One chunk at a timejsonnevelt
The document discusses Kanban and its principles for incremental and evolutionary organizational change. It explains that Kanban focuses on having the right conversations to improve processes and outcomes. Some key Kanban principles mentioned are starting with the current process, pursuing gradual change, respecting existing roles, and encouraging leadership at all levels. The document also outlines six Kanban practices including visualizing workflow, limiting work-in-progress, managing flow, making policies explicit, developing feedback mechanisms, and improving collaboratively through experiments.
This chapter introduces the concept of whether the 100 most threatened species featured in the book are "priceless or worthless". It notes that while a few species provide economic benefits, most do little for humanity other than cultural or existence value. If these species went extinct, there would be little impact on the global economy. It argues that as threats to biodiversity escalate, society must decide whether these species have a right to exist or if we have the right to drive them to extinction. The author notes their future depends on our values - are they priceless or worthless? Taking action could prevent their extinction, while inaction would accept human-caused mass extinction.
This document discusses different types of retrospectives that can be run for Agile projects, including release, project, sprint, and ad-hoc retrospectives. It also categorizes retrospectives as either broad or deep dives and provides tips for running retrospectives such as allowing plenty of time, being well prepared, inviting all team members, using creative techniques to generate insights, keeping retrospectives fresh by varying the type, and experimenting to find what works best for each team.
The document provides a simple timeline about making sense of complex problems. It discusses two problems organizations face - what to do and how to do it. It introduces the Cynefin framework for classifying problems as simple, complicated, complex, or chaotic. Over time, there has been a shift from predictability to adaptability and from resource efficiency to flow efficiency. The document contrasts a waterfall view with an agile perspective on problems and solutions. It addresses challenges in changing organizations and looks outside for ideas that are not necessarily new.
The document discusses Kanban and its use as an agile method. It provides examples of why different teams use Kanban, such as to reduce multitasking and see how time is spent. It emphasizes starting with understanding the motivation or purpose ("Why") before determining the process ("How") or outputs ("What"). This aligns with Simon Sinek's "Golden Circle" thinking framework. Over time, teams may lose sight of their initial motivation and end up with fewer options to improve if they don't periodically revisit the "Why" question. The document also discusses techniques for continuously improving, such as establishing policies, using external perspectives, and having retrospectives.
The document discusses doing activities together in a group setting. It encourages throwing a ball of yarn to others you know and continuing to throw it to more people to expand your network. It emphasizes that it's okay to hold onto the yarn for a bit and stop if you feel stuck. The overall message is about increasing social connections through collaborative group activities.
The document is a 20 slide PechaKucha presentation on leadership and management given by Chris Matts. It discusses the difference between leaders and managers, with leaders described as the guardians of the future who are responsible for vision and preparing for the unknown, while managers are the guardians of processes who facilitate process creation and ensure processes are not broken. It argues that a leaderless society with distributed leadership is ideal, where everyone has leadership skills to manage their own affairs.
London Kanban Coaching Exchange
Flow Systems - like developments being run with a process like Scrum or Kanban - provide us a lot of data, and, if we know how to look at it, a lot of information about the health of our processes and projects. Start and end dates for example provide Throughput, Time in Process, Work in Progress as well as more exotic metrics such as Flow Debt, WiP-Aging and Delivery Bias indicators. Adding in Target Dates and historic distribution data for Lead Times provides Buffer Consumption measures, and the simple application of Monte Carlo models (plug it into the spreadsheet!) gives completion probabilities over a range of dates. We'll review what these metrics mean and who's writing about them. Then look at concise, concrete and pragmatic advice for how you can use them on your projects. Whether you've never seen a Control Chart or a Cumulative Flow Diagram - or if you're using flow metrics every day and bring along some diagrams and insights to share, this will be an entertaining evening of the whys and hows of project numbers.
About the Speaker
Andy Carmichael: Whether as a manager, developer, coach or author, a common theme to what I’ve done throughout my career has been helping teams make “better software… faster”. Working with a wide variety of clients on very small to impossibly large projects, remains my principal source of education - certainly outweighing various degrees and certifications I’ve also picked up along the way! Thinking deeply about business problems and finding the intersection with how people best work together, is where I find the fun - and the value - lies.
Twitter: @andycarmich Blog: Improving Projects
This document contains slides from a presentation on Scrum and Kanban frameworks. Some key points:
- The presenter has a background in Scrum and agile since 2000 and is now an agile coach.
- Scrum is based on 3 roles, 3 artifacts, and 3 ceremonies while Kanban focuses on visualizing workflow, limiting work in progress, measuring lead time, and improving collaboratively.
- Both Scrum and Kanban emphasize inspecting and adapting the process as well as continuous improvement. Kanban is more evolutionary while Scrum uses timeboxes.
- A hybrid "Scrumban" approach combines elements of Scrum and Kanban.
Manage Flow - In search of flow efficiency (v2)Chris McDermott
The document discusses improving efficiency in organizations through managing flow. It explores concepts like resource efficiency, flow efficiency, and ways to improve throughput and reduce lead times. Kanban is mentioned as a tool that can help identify areas for improvement by increasing visibility. Little's Law and limiting work in progress are discussed as ways to reduce average lead times. The overall theme is how to optimize processes and flow of work through systems thinking.
What's the worst that can happen #Lascot14 #LKCE14 2014somesheep
This document contains a series of tweets by @somesheep on the topics of trust, connection, and organizational change. Some of the key points summarized are:
1. Trust is an outcome that is built by making and keeping commitments over time.
2. We are hardwired for social connection and trust is the metric for the quality of those connections.
3. Creating a shared narrative of the future can help build trust within organizations undergoing cultural change.
4. Normalizing discomfort and failure is important for learning and building resilience.
Scrum is one of the most successful Agile methods in the market. It is conceptually simple to understand (the official guide is only 16 pages long). So, why do many companies fail to successfully implement and sustain their Agile adoptions? An engaging presentation exploring common challenges faced when trying to implement Scrum and how Kanban can improve these.
Presenter: Jose Casal - Accredited Kanban Trainer, Member of the Lean Kanban University Advisory Board, Chair of the British Computer Society (BCS) Agile Methods Specialist Group. Chair of the BCS London Lean Kanban Day conference. Lead in the creation of the new BCS Foundation Certificate in Agile Practice.
ScrumMaster Education Programme - The StoryHelen Meek
The document describes a ScrumMaster education program created by Ripple Rock to support ScrumMasters in their development.
The program included:
- Weekly coaching sessions covering various Agile topics selected by the community
- Assigning mentors and providing training, both in and out of context
- Developing a competency model to help ScrumMasters self-assess and identify areas for growth
An evaluation found that participation increased participants' knowledge and abilities in most areas of the competency model over 6 months. Two ScrumMasters in particular demonstrated significant improvement in their Agile skills. The program was considered successful in continually developing the ScrumMaster community.
Intro to Systems Thinking, Kanban and Systemic Flow MappingChris McDermott
Kanban is a lean methodology for managing workflow. It uses visual cues like kanban boards to visualize workloads and limit work-in-progress. The kanban method focuses on continuous incremental improvements by establishing feedback loops, limiting work-in-progress, and managing the flow of work visually. Kanban can help create a culture of continuous improvement through small, incremental evolutionary changes to processes.
This document discusses how to introduce Agile practices into non-Agile organizations. It emphasizes that change takes time and must be an evolutionary process rather than a revolution. Key steps include starting with current practices, pursuing gradual change, respecting existing roles, and encouraging leadership at all levels. Above all, change programs must attend to people's needs to be successful. Introducing Agile requires enabling transformation through evolution not revolution, focusing on people and culture, making it a collective journey, and providing experienced coaching.
The Emperor's New Clothes - Meaningful interactions in stressful situationsPortia Tung
See the Emperor in all his glory! Which role will you play? We all interact with different types of characters in our daily lives which may lead to stressful situations. Together, we will learn how to communicate more effectively with others, especially at times of stress, by transforming our behavior from incongruence to congruence. We will learn to recognise incongruence by role-playing the 5 Coping Stances based on the Satir Model, then learn how to begin transforming our behavior from one of incongruence to congruence by thinking about interactions in terms of Self, Other and Context.
The document discusses several engagement and motivation exercises for employees, including sending "kudos" to recognize colleagues, tracking daily happiness levels, identifying motivators, measuring job satisfaction, and identifying sources of waste. It encourages focusing on individuals and interactions over processes and tools, and reviewing systems rather than performance appraisals. The document provides sources and further reading for each exercise.
This workshop happened on Monday, 2 March, 6:30 – 8 pm at WeWork Seattle with General Assembly and Design Thinking Boutique. The workshop was run by Ashley Karr.
She gives a practical and simple overview of wireframing and teaches an easy yet powerful whiteboarding technique that Ashley calls, "Masters & Modules," that everyone can use right away to get their ideas out of their heads and into the real world. In the last section, we explain what annotations are and how they can be added to wireframes. There are exercises peppered throughout the lecture, so we recommend you have drawing tools with you - and it would be particularly useful to have a whiteboard, dry erase markers, and a whiteboard eraser handy.
This document discusses software development principles and techniques including domain-driven design, event-driven architecture, and clean architecture. It provides descriptions of key terms related to modeling domains, dividing domains into subdomains, and implementing using patterns like command and event. It also outlines an approach for understanding the problem domain, dividing it into context maps, and continuously implementing and deploying to build business value.

The document discusses the design plans for a digipak album cover. It outlines that the front cover will feature an iconic Birmingham landmark to represent the location and give context to the music. For the back, a modern picture of one of the actors is preferred. The main title "Take Care" will be placed at the top left of the cover to draw the eye. A freestyle script font was chosen to suit the design. For costumes, striking but black and white clothes are discussed to match the scheme. A microphone prop is mentioned to represent the female actor's voice on one section. Drake's promotion of a brand is referenced as inspiration for providing a message through powerful images on the front and back.
