This document discusses engineering innovation and project delivery using Agile, Lean, and Envision principles. It summarizes Envision as a construction management tool that optimizes projects using Agile and Lean principles through features like time tracking, document management, 4D modeling, and business intelligence reporting. Implementing Envision can provide benefits like reduced costs, improved safety and transparency, and increased field productivity for owners, contractors, and field supervisors.
Envision is a SaaS (Software as a Service) construction management tool that reduces project administration effort and costs and radically improves field productivity. Built upon the principles of Agile and Lean Construction, Envision represents a new and more efficient way to work.
As part of my work as teacher at the school of Design Thinking at the Hasso-Plattner-Institute (HPI) I gave this talk describing how we combine at SAP lean and agile methodologies with design thinking to ensure efficiency and innovation.

Agile methods are based on short iterations delivering functionality in increments, with small, well-defined work requests consisting of just enough requirements definition at just the right time. But with such a short-term focus, how can agile teams manage a product portfolio over months or even years? We'll talk about the building blocks of an effective agile portfolio management strategy, starting with the core tools of the Product Owner, and extending these to look beyond the next few weeks of work into planning and tracking a product release or portfolio over several months.

In today's high tech world, the complexity of projects continues to increase rapidly. Many technical organizations continuously ask themselves – what can we do to ensure the highest level of quality within a time-boxed project? When a project faces unforeseen challenges, there's an increased need for creative solutions and a higher level of teamwork. This presentation explores the coexistence of the agile and waterfall methodologies. This may be taboo in the traditional project management organization, however we have proven that it works.
This presentation was held at one of our previous Agile Edge Conferences. It analyses how Agile can be introduced to an organisation! Please contact info@valtech.co.uk for information on our next Agile Edge Confererence in January 2012.

An Introduction to Software Performance EngineeringCorrelsense
Software performance engineering is becoming increasingly important to businesses as they look to improve the non-functional performance of applications and get more out of IT investments. By leveraging performance engineering techniques, IT professionals can be indispensable in building and optimizing scalable systems. This
introductory course will teach you the essentials of software
performance engineering including :
• The performance challenges faced by Enterprise IT today
• What is software performance engineering (SPE)?
• Best practices for building scalable software systems
• The approaches to integrating SPE into IT project lifecycles
• Common frameworks for measuring application performance and service levels
• The impact of SPE on software developers, testers, capacity planes,
and other IT professionals
• Case studies from the finance, retail, and insurance industries
Instructor: Walter Kuketz, SVP and CTO, Collaborative Consulting
This training is sponsored by Correlsense, Collaborative Consulting,
and New Horizons
The aim of this presentation is to provide a brief overview of the SCRUM Agile Methodology, and to give organizations an idea of how SCRUM may affect the traditional development of requirements and deliverables.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
