Illuminating the potential of Scrum by comparing LeSS with SAFeRowan Bunning
Scrum implementations have the characteristics of an iceberg. The tip of the iceberg is what is explicit in the Scrum Guide whilst the much larger mass under the waterline is deep adoption of the implications of Scrum and Lean. This is where far greater payoffs from Agile adoption are to be found. Unfortunately, few people are aware of many of the deep implications and far fewer have experienced a Scrum adoption that goes beyond the tip of the iceberg.
The recent articulation of LeSS and it’s contrast with SAFe is drawing attention to the difference between shallow and deep Scrum. This session will take you in a submersible below the waterline and use a spotlight to illuminate the vast potential to improve your organisation through deep Scrum.
In comparing LeSS with SAFe, we illuminate ways to…
1. Scale vertically, not just horizontally to help thousands pull together as one.
2. Reduce bureaucratic control and increase business-development collaboration.
3. Transform the win-lose contract game between business and IT into a win-win co-operative game.
4. Focus everyone on the end-customer and re-structure around this.
5. Produce a potentially shippable product increment every fortnight.
6. Enable the organisation to "turn on a dime, for a dime".
7. Enable anti-fragile self-optimising of both What customer value is created and How it is created.
8. Radically simplify organisational structure without the overheads of unnecessary specification, co-ordination and reporting roles.
9. Unleash the potential of real self-managing teams without this being unwittingly constrained.
10. Allow managers to shift from managing the what, the how and tracking to the much more impactful work of capability building.

Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability - Daniel VacantiAgile Montréal
Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability
“When will it be done?” That's the first question customers ask once work is started. Your predictability is judged by the accuracy of your answer. Think about how many times you’ve been asked that question and how many times you’ve been wrong. That you’ve been wrong more times than right is not necessarily your fault. You have been taught to collect and analyze the wrong metrics. Until now.
About Daniel Vacanti
Daniel Vacanti is a 20+ year software industry veteran who has spent most of his career focusing on Lean and Agile practices. In 2007, he helped to develop the Kanban Method for knowledge work and managed the world’s first project implementation of Kanban that year. He has been conducting Lean-Agile training, coaching, and consulting ever since. In 2011 he founded ActionableAgile (previously Corporate Kanban) which provides industry-leading predictive analytics tools and services organizations that utilize Lean-Agile practices. In 2015 he published his book, “Actionable Agile Metrics for Predictability”, which is the definitive guide to flow-based metrics and analytics. Daniel holds an M.B.A. and regularly teaches a class on lean principles for software management at the University of California Berkeley.

Leading a large-scale agile transformation isn’t about adopting a new set of attitudes, processes, and behaviors at the team level… it’s about helping your company deliver faster to market, and developing the ability to respond to a rapidly-changing competitive landscape. First and foremost, it’s about achieving business agility. Business agility comes from people having clarity of purpose, a willingness to be held accountable, and the ability to achieve measurable outcomes. Unfortunately, almost everything in modern organizations gets in the way of teams acting with any sort of autonomy. In most companies, achieving business agility requires significant organizational change.
Agile transformation necessitates a fundamental rethinking of how your company organizes for delivery, how it delivers value to its customers, and how it plans and measures outcomes. Agile transformation is about building enabling structures, aligning the flow of work, and measuring for outcomes based progress. It's about breaking dependencies. The reality is that this kind of change can only be led from the top. This talk will explore how executives can define an idealized end-state for the transformation, build a fiscally responsible iterative and incremental plan to realize that end-state, as well as techniques for tracking progress and managing change.
Scrumban - applying agile and lean practices for daily uncertainty by Vidas V...Vidas Vasiliauskas
In this presentation I have talked about scrumban - a mix of routines and techniques for daily use in dynamic environment. Like in startups, product manufacture, support or similar cases.
Understanding InfluxDB Basics: Tags, Fields and MeasurementsInfluxData
Is it a table? No, it is much more! Finally understand tags, fields and measurements.
In this session, you will learn how to answer your real-life questions with data stored in InfluxDB. You will see that InfluxDB is more than some tables; it is a window to the world of your data. In particular, the usage of tags, fields and measurements enhances the time series database and helps answer your questions in a convenient and fast way, if you know what to do. Discover tips and tricks to use while implementing InfluxDB.
All topics are addressed in the context of IoT monitoring, predictive maintenance and medical applications.
It was repeatedly observed that as the number of Scrum teams within an organization grew, two major issues emerged:
* The volume, speed, and quality of their output (working product) per team began to fall, due to issues such as cross-team dependencies, duplication of work, and communication overhead.
* The original management structure was ineffective for achieving business agility. Issues arose like competing priorities and the inability to quickly shift teams around to respond to dynamic market conditions.
In this presentation I will show you how to counteract these issues, using Scrum@Sclae framework for effectively coordinating multiple Scrum teams was clearly needed which would aim for the following:
* Linear scalability: A corresponding percentage increase in delivery of working product with an increase in the number of teams.
* Business agility: The ability to rapidly respond to change by adapting its initial stable configuration.
A Tale of Two Data Centers: Kafka Streams Resiliency (Anna McDonald, Confluen...confluent
Running applications across two data centers is a requirement for many industries. Understanding how to deploy and architect a Kafka Streams application for multiple data centers can seem daunting for both developers and operators. Both stretch clusters and replication present unique challenges. This talk will go over best practices and answer questions such as, should I replicate internal topics? What are the implications of exactly once semantics? Do I need to run active/active or active/passive? How do I minimize recovery time after a failure? We’ll discuss important issues for stretch clusters such as rack/dc placement of internal topic partitions, state store gotchas and common latency vs throughput trade offs. The patterns presented will enable you to confidently design and execute resilient Kafka Streams applications.

Comparing Stability and Sustainability in Agile SystemsRob Healy
Copy of the presentation given at XP2024 based on a research paper.
In this paper we explain wat overwork is and the physical and mental health risks associated with it.
We then explore how overwork relates to system stability and inventory.
Finally there is a call to action for Team Leads / Scrum Masters / Managers to measure and monitor excess work for individual teams.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
