User Story Mapping Workshop (Design Skills 2016)Bartosz Mozyrko
User Story Mapping (USM) is a top-down approach of gathering "requirements" in agile environments.
"A user story map arranges user stories into a useful model to help understand the functionality of the system, identify holes and omissions in your backlog, and effectively plan holistic releases that deliver value to users and business with each release (from Jeff Patton's The New User Story Backlog Is a Map)."
A quick guide to creating user stories. Lays out the basic user story and provides tips on creating the story.

Writing Good User Stories (Hint: It's not about writing)one80
User stories are typically the foundation of the Product Backlog. However, the original purpose has been lost. This is from a presentation that was given to help remind everyone of what User Stories are, and what they aren't. The purpose of User Stories is to drive conversations, not to hand "requirements" from one group to the next.

Lean Startup + Story Mapping = Awesome Products FasterBrad Swanson
To deliver the right outcomes, you need to learn your customers needs and validate your assumptions as early as possible. This means getting an early version of your product completed to start testing, validating and improving. This session will demonstrate how to combine Lean Startup and User Story Mapping techniques to determine where to start and how to learn early and often.
Participants will start with a partially completed Lean Canvas to flesh out and then define a product roadmap by building a Story Map. We will use Lean Startup concepts of Minimal Viable Product (MVP) and validated learning to focus on outcome over output.
Learning objectives:
Understand the importance of accelerated learning and techniques to achieve it
How a Lean Canvas can help shape your product vision and MVP
How to build a story map to create a product roadmap
How to use a story map to validate your users' journey
User Story Mapping workshop facilitated at NYC Scrum User group.

Creating a backlog of user stories is pretty straight forward but it doesn't help you when it comes to decisions like what to build first, how to prioritize and groom the backlog, how to scope and plan the project, and how to visualize progress. The traditional backlog is simply too flat and often too long to help you see the bigger picture and make good decisions. User Story Mapping helps simplify all of these common project issues. By adding a third dimension to your backlog, your team will make better decisions about priorities, scope, and planning while improving your ability to visualize progress.
In this practical session I’ll cover the basics of user story mapping before walking you through case studies of how our teams are using this approach and the results we are achieving. I'll show you the before, during, and after pictures from several projects so that you can understand how our maps progress during the projects and how we use them to influence iterative development, promote good decision making, and visualize priorities, plans, scope and progress.
This tutorial includes topics like fundamentals of the agile development approach, agile development life cycle, agile requirements development, agile planning, agile design, agile construction & agile project management.
Products and Value: An Agile Perspective BY Matt Nudelmann (GUEST PRESENTER)Samuel Chin, PMP, CSM
You may have heard of Agile methodology before, especially in the context of web development ... but can we apply Agile principles to our study of process?
In this session, guest presenter Matt Nudelman explains how to understand some core elements of process, Product and Value, from an Agile point of view. He covers a range of topics including: the difference between a product and a project, Agile project management, the 80/20 rule, what an MVP is, and defining value using the Agile framework.
We also discussed how these principles apply to the process work we've been doing, and what we can take away for practical application.

6+1 Technical Tips for Tech Startups (2023 Edition)Ahmed Misbah
In 2019, the failure rate of startups was 90%. Technology Startups (aka. Tech Startups) had the highest rate of failures at 63%. One of the causes of this high rate in tech startups can be wrong technical decisions and practices.
In this session, I describe 6 technical tips that can help tech startups truly become “Lean” to pave the way for success. The 6 technical tips will cover areas such as programming languages, development platforms, cloud-native architectures, testing, and big data.
The session will conclude with BONUS technical tips for all startups and not just tech startups. These bonus tips will prove very useful for:
1- Startups wishing to launch new apps with very little experience in software development OR
2- Companies wishing to initiate startup projects as part of their digital transformation.
I highly recommend this session for entrepreneurs who are about to start developing an innovative idea. It is also recommended for startups that have already started their journey and wish to improve.
Migrating to Microservices Patterns and Technologies (edition 2023)Ahmed Misbah

Test Driven Development (TDD) is a core practice in the SDLC, especially ones that run using the agile mindset and leverage the practices of eXtreme programming. Since its inception and rediscovery by Kent beck in the late 1990s, it has gained popularity among many software development teams. However, like any popular software development practices, teams lose interest in TDD overtime and drop the practice all together. The main reason behind this is practicing it "the wrong way".
In this session, I present 7 anti-patterns that can ruin the TDD experience of a software development team. I also present how to counter these anti-patterns to fully leverage the benefits of TDD.
Implementing FaaS on Kubernetes using KubelessAhmed Misbah
This session discusses implementing Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) on Kubernetes using Kubeless.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.
Listen to the keynote address and hear about the latest developments from Rachana Ananthakrishnan and Ian Foster who review the updates to the Globus Platform and Service, and the relevance of Globus to the scientific community as an automation platform to accelerate scientific discovery.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

maintains for a product.
These will define features, bug fixes, non-
functional requirements, etc. (i.e. whatever must
be done to successfully deliver a viable product).

12. Product Backlog (cont’d)
The product backlog is what will be delivered,
ordered into the sequence in which it should be
delivered. It is visible to everyone but may only be
changed with the consent of the product owner,
who is ultimately responsible for ordering product
backlog items for the development team to
choose.

13. Product Backlog Characteristics
1. Only entries that add value
2. Living Document
3. Different Level of details
4. No low level tasks
5. Ordered
6. Estimated
14. Product Backlog Items
Product Backlog Items can range from
specifications and requirements, to use cases,
epics, User Stories, bugs, or timeboxed research
tasks. Each PBI must have these qualities:
• Description: What the goal of the PBI is.
• Value: the Business Value of the PBI as
determined by the Product Owner.
• Estimate: the Team needs to estimate the relative
effort it will take to move the PBI to Done.
• Order: The Product Owner needs to prioritize
PBIs by their relative value.
15. Product Backlog Items (cont’d)
PBIs could be:
• Epics
• User Stories
• Technical Tasks (described as User Stories)
• Spikes (Knowledge acquisition or research
activity)
• Bugs
• Any item of value to the product
17. User Stories
User stories are short, simple descriptions of a
feature told from the perspective of the person
who desires the new capability, usually a user or
customer of the system.

18. User Stories (cont’d)
A user story is a tool used in agile software
development to capture the description of a
software feature from an end-user perspective.
The user story describes the type of user, what
they want and why. A user story helps to create
a simplified description of a requirement.

19. User Story Template
• Written in the following notation:
– As who
– I want what
– So that why
26. Acceptance Criteria
Acceptance criteria or ‘conditions of satisfaction’
provide a detailed scope of a user’s
requirements. They help the team to
understand the value of the story and set
expectations as to when a team should consider
something done.
https://www.easyagile.com/
27. Acceptance Criteria Goals
• To clarify what the team should build before
they start work
• To ensure everyone has a common
understanding of the problem
• To help the team members know when the
story is complete
• To help verify the story via automated tests
37. Agile Principles
4. Business people and developers must work
together daily throughout the project
6. The most efficient and effective method of
conveying information to and within a
development team is face-to-face conversation
11. The best architectures, requirements, and
designs emerge from self-organizing teams
40. Who writes User Stories?
• Anyone can write user stories. It's the product
owner's responsibility to make sure a product
backlog of agile user stories exists, but that
doesn’t mean that the product owner is the one
who writes them. Over the course of a good agile
project, you should expect to have user story
examples written by each team member
• Note that who writes a user story is far less
important than who is involved in the discussions
of it
• Product Owner verifies user stories
41. When are User Stories written?
• User stories are written throughout the agile project.
Usually a story-writing workshop is held near the start
of the agile project. Everyone on the team participates
with the goal of creating a product backlog that fully
describes the functionality to be added over the course
of the project
• Some of these agile user stories will undoubtedly be
epics. Epics will later be decomposed into smaller
stories that fit more readily into a single iteration.
Additionally, new stories can be written and added to
the product backlog at any time and by anyone
42. Story Mapping Workshop
• One of the key objectives of a project inception is
to collect requirements collaboratively
• But, many times, it is difficult to decide where to
start and what to focus on
• Story mapping is an engaging activity where all
participants are involved in the process of
building the product backlog on a wall, versus
writing a dull 100-page requirement document
43. Story Mapping Workshop (cont’d)
Story mapping is a top-down approach of
requirement gathering and is represented as a tree.
Story mapping starts from an overarching vision. A
vision is achieved via goals. Goals are reached by
completing activities. And to complete an activity,
users needs to perform tasks. And these tasks can
be transformed into user stories for software
development.
Story Map Structure: Goals > Activities > Tasks >
Stories
45. Writing Good User Stories
1. Users come first
2. Use Personas to Discover the Right Stories
3. Create Stories Collaboratively
4. Keep your Stories Simple and Concise
5. Start with Epics
6. Refine the Stories until They are Ready
7. Add Acceptance Criteria
8. Keep your Stories Visible and Accessible
9. Don’t Solely Rely on User Stories
46. Dependency Structure Matrix
• The Dependency Structure Matrix or Design
Structure Matrix (DSM) is a simple, compact,
and visual representation of a system or
project in the form of a square matrix. It is a
great way to visualize and manage
dependencies between modules, which is
critical to the management of software
projects
47. Definition of Ready
• Complete User Story with acceptance criteria
• Meets 3 C’s and INVEST
• Field Description table
• Mockups attached to user story (wireframes in
some cases)
• High Level Test Cases
• DSM
• Workflow Diagrams
