This document discusses challenges with estimating "epics" or large chunks of work in Agile projects. It summarizes a project at Siemens Healthcare from 2012-2014 that demonstrated these challenges. The key lessons were that uncertainty increases with epic size, dependencies between epics increase risk, and flexibility is needed to adjust plans when estimates are inaccurate. It recommends shorter release cycles to reduce risk, comparing epics to historical data to set expectations, and having fallback options when estimates are off.
Agile Defense - Changing the Way Wars Are Fought, Logistics Delivered, and Ho...JJ Sutherland
JJ Sutherland, Chief Content Officer of Scrum Inc., presents Agile Defense.
In 2010 the Defense Acquisitions Act made Agile software development the law of the land for Defense Contractors. But both the DoD and the contractor community are struggling to figure out how to make it work in an ossified system that often requires traditional waterfall reporting.
And, in 2007 Gen. David Petraeus reversed the course of the Iraq war by using small, cross-functional teams to break the back of Al Qaeda in Iraq. He did this by pushing decisions down to the platoon and even to the squad level on the streets of Baghdad.
Using concrete, real world examples JJ will show how Scrum is re-shaping the military, military procurement, and military contractors.
User expectations have changed over the last decade. Customers today expect access to their applications and data from all devices (mobile, laptop, desktop, tablet, etc.) with similar performance from any of those devices at all times of the day. In a world of growing complexity where architects and application designers are dependent on 3rd party providers to delivering part (or at time entire) of the application how does one ensure consistent delivery of performance. This presentation provides a view of some of the challenges involved and how not to make costly mistakes.
Top 5 Myths Of DevOps
Although a fairly new label and not officially coined until a few years ago, the ideals of “DevOps” have been discussed for nearly a decade. Recently, the term DevOps has gained increased popularity, but what does this buzzword really mean? Karen will highlight that DevOps is not a development methodology or technology, rather an ideology; a way to facilitate organisational prosperity and growth while increasing each individual employee's engagement. Some believe that as DevOps has gained prominence, a gap has been created between the original definition of DevOps and this new "enterprise-ready" buzzword.
Bringing Continuous Delivery to the Enterprise: It's all about the MindsetGene Gotimer
Most people that introduce agile techniques to an organization quickly learn that teaching the practices are easy. It is the cultural shifts that prove to be the hardest changes. For 4½ years, Gene Gotimer worked on the Forge.mil project, using agile techniques to build an application lifecycle management tool to enable agile projects within the US Department of Defense. It was an exemplar project, showing other DoD projects that software can be delivered quickly and confidently with more security and higher quality by using agile techniques. The project started out introducing agile development, moved on to implementing continuous integration, and then evangelizing continuous delivery. Along the way the team ran into a lot of obstacles, some typical of any large enterprise, others tied to the DoD. The major issues were pure philosophy: they just didn’t think like agile developers. Gene will share experiences and anecdotes from the project, and talk about how the team was able to work within and around the policies and, most importantly, the culture and mindset to move the project towards continuous delivery. Hopefully others in similar situations will be able to identify and avoid similar issues in their organizations.

DOES15 - Elisabeth Hendrickson - Its All About FeedbackGene Kim
Elisabeth Hendrickson, VP of Engineering, Pivotal’s Big Data Suite
Fifteen years ago I was running a traditional QA department, and I had a horrifying realization: the better I got at my job, the worse I made things for the organization as a whole. This counter-intuitive realization spurred me on a journey to understand the relationship between testing and quality, and ultimately to the study of feedback loops in software development processes. Ultimately I found my way to Extreme Programming, and now work at Pivotal where we practice a particularly opinionated form of it. In this talk you’ll hear about my journey from the traditional silos with inherently long feedback latency to my current reality of increasingly tight feedback loops, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
Continuous Delivery in a Legacy Shop - One Step at a TimeGene Gotimer
Not every continuous delivery (CD) initiative starts with someone saying “Drop everything. We’re going to do DevOps.” Sometimes, you have to grow your process incrementally. And sometimes you don’t set out to grow at all—you are just fixing problems with your process, trying to make things better. Gene Gotimer discusses techniques and the chain of tools he has used to bring a DevOps mindset and CD practices into a legacy environment. Gene discusses how his team started fixing problems and making process improvements in development. From there, they tackled one problem after another, each time making the release a little better and a little less risky. They incrementally brought their practices through other environments until the project was confidently delivering working and tested releases every two weeks. Gene shares their journey and the tools they used to build quality into the product, the releases, and the release process.
Pulse UX Testing: Bring the user into the user story. A.Witteman&R.vandenOeverAnna Witteman
Testing with users improves the quality of your product. But why is it that everyone knows the importance of frequent user testing, yet hardly anyone ever does it? Is it because User Testing often is time consuming, complex and expensive? It probably doesn’t fit in your development process and thus feels like extra work.
To feel reassured, and to give some sort fake sense of security, you tell yourself to test with users once you have something working, or at the very end of the process. This is strange, because everybody knows that changing your product late in the process will increase costs exponentially.
What if we tell you that we created a way so that User Testing saves time, improves the quality and doesn’t cost a lot of money? Team driven, pragmatic and no extra resources needed.
During our talk we will show you how, with only 2 hours every sprint, we have focussed on creating better products faster. We would love to share our learnings and simple DIY tools that let you start user testing with your current team(s) tomorrow!
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) - Tech Talk by Keet SugathadasaKeet Sugathadasa
When it comes to Site Reliability Engineering, short for SRE, the resources available online are only limited to the books published by Google themselves. They do share some useful case studies that will help us understand what SRE is, and how to understand the concepts given in it, but they do not clearly explain how to build your own SRE team for your organization. The concept of SRE was cooked fresh within the walls of Google and later released to the general public as a practice for anyone to follow.
In this presentation I would like to give a brief introduction to SRE and why it is important to any Software Engineering organization. This is based on my experiences and learnings from leading a Site Reliability Engineering team for leading organizations in the US and Norway.
This presentation was conducted by me as a Tech Talk as an Associate Technical Lead at Creative Software Sri Lanka.
Optimizing DevOps strategy in a large enterpriseEyal Edri
Large enterprises today are pacing a flood of multiple devops tools to choose from for their infrastructure. The problem intensifies when you have dozens of devops teams across the world, each with his own background of devops tools and knowledge and each with his own agenda of pushing to use his tools. How would you leverage this distributed, disconnected knowledge into a single working devops knowledge source, and common infrastructure to leverage the whole enterprise? Come and hear about Red Hat Global CI initiative to hear on one possible approach for taking on the battle.
Leaping from Waterfall to Agility & Agile Innovationrudreshts
This session brings out the key learnings of an engineering team at Harman when they adopted Agile Project Management Principles. The team had prior exposure to Waterfall Methodology but relatively new to Agile.

Release Engineering Downstream of an OpenStack ProjectRainya Mosher
Presentation given at OSCON 2015 Open Cloud Day on 7/21/2015
For open source projects such as OpenStack, being able to effectively build, release, and deploy upstream code into a production environment is as much art as science. Using the experience gained from more than three years in OpenStack operations, we will share best practices and tools to create a sustainable and repeatable release engineering process for your own open source development needs.
http://www.oscon.com/open-source-2015/public/schedule/detail/44790
The world of IT is shifting rapidly towards DevOps with analysts predicting the majority of companies will adopt DevOps practices in the next few years. In fact, in a recent study on DevOps by International Data Corp. (IDC), they believe that DevOps will be adopted (in either practice or discipline) by 80% of Global 1000 organizations by 2019!
Forming a DevOps team seems like a natural step, but the idea of creating a dedicated DevOps team has ignited anger in the community. Why? What's the concern? Is a DevOps team evil? Completely necessary? A necessary Evil?
Join IBM UrbanCode's Eric Minick to learn the pitfalls of creating bad DevOps teams, and successful approaches of good ones. Along the way, we’ll explore other heresies such as using tools to change culture.

Amdocs Case Study: Massive Kanban Implementation (LKNA14)Yaki Koren
Prepared and presented by Keren Yahalom and Yaki Koren at LKNA14
The goals set before us a year and half ago were to stop saying “no” to customers for late or changed scope, while helping them achieve time to value. We have gone through a successful revolutionary change of the way we manage our projects a few years earlier (CCPM), and we felt that the organization cannot handle another revolution. Still, Our customers’ (Telecommunication Service Providers) business required better responsiveness and flexibility, reduce risks and a much faster time to market. Our hundreds to thousands person months complex mission critical projects span up to 70 groups of experts handling products that are tightly integrated over a timeline of a few months, and we had to maintain, if not improve, our quality, while reaching a sustainable development process. The challenge was huge.
In this session we will describe how we pulled it off again, in a completely different implementation approach – evolutionary, pull based. We implemented in different types of projects (huge business transformations, on going releases with existing customers), different scales (from 10 to 150 Person Years projects), different personas (the leaders, the laggers) and in a different manner (adapting the implementation to the specifics of our internal customers).
We will describe what it takes to make it work, and what obstacles we faced. we will share actual boards and reports helping the audience experience the scale, the challenge, the journey.
We will also share the story of the implementation in our first project – a mega project servicing a giant North American telecommunication service provider
Agile Project Management in a Waterfall World: Managing Sprints with Predicti...John Carter
Applying Agile methods in a waterfall world seemed impossible until we discovered the 10 essential skills and tools. Five of these skills are organizational, while others translate the short intervals characteristic of Agile to the world outside of Software. User Stories becomes Boundary Conditions; Burn-down charts becomes Deliverable Hit Rate charts; Sprints become HW intervals; Sprint Retrospectives become Event Timeline Retrospectives, while the project as a whole is managed using Boundary Conditions. This presentation shows examples of these tools and shows examples of how they are applied.
Value Driven Development by Dave Thomas Naresh Jain
Agile, OOP... are like good hygiene in the kitchen, it results in meals with consistent quality and predictable prep and service times. It doesn't result in great meals nor substantially impact the ROI! Lean Thinking clearly shows that the only way to make a significant impact is to improve the value chain by improving flow. If everyone is following best practices no one has competitive advantage. Major improvements in the value chain depend on continued disruptive innovations. Innovations leverage people and their ideas. We use case studies to illustrate the different business and technical innovations and their impact. We conclude with a discussion of how to build and leverage an innovation culture versus a sprint death march when dealing with high value time to market projects.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

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.

The alleged breach affected Europol agencies CCSE, EC3, Europol Platform for Experts, Law Enforcement Forum, and SIRIUS. Infiltration of these entities can disrupt ongoing investigations and compromise sensitive intelligence shared among international law enforcement agencies.
However, this is neither the first nor the last activity of IntekBroker. We have compiled for you what happened in the last few days. To track such hacker activities on dark web sources like hacker forums, private Telegram channels, and other hidden platforms where cyber threats often originate, you can check SOCRadar’s Dark Web News.

Code reviews are vital for ensuring good code quality. They serve as one of our last lines of defense against bugs and subpar code reaching production.
Yet, they often turn into annoying tasks riddled with frustration, hostility, unclear feedback and lack of standards. How can we improve this crucial process?
In this session we will cover:
- The Art of Effective Code Reviews
- Streamlining the Review Process
- Elevating Reviews with Automated Tools
By the end of this presentation, you'll have the knowledge on how to organize and improve your code review proces
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?

Paketo Buildpacks : la meilleure façon de construire des images OCI? DevopsDa...Anthony Dahanne
Les Buildpacks existent depuis plus de 10 ans ! D’abord, ils étaient utilisés pour détecter et construire une application avant de la déployer sur certains PaaS. Ensuite, nous avons pu créer des images Docker (OCI) avec leur dernière génération, les Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNCF en incubation). Sont-ils une bonne alternative au Dockerfile ? Que sont les buildpacks Paketo ? Quelles communautés les soutiennent et comment ?

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.
