This document outlines an experiment to deliver 50 web applications with a small team of 4 people within one year using an agile approach. The team is given full funding and autonomy to design their own infrastructure and processes. They aim to demonstrate efficient delivery through automation, frequent deployment, limited scope per application, and transparency between developers and business users. The goal is to show that motivated teams can deliver quickly when given the right resources and freedom from bureaucracy.

Ownership transfer presentation v1.5
This document discusses ownership transfer which involves more than just knowledge transfer. It involves empowering others to take ownership over time through investment. It discusses six key dimensions to ownership transfer: infrastructure, engineering, knowledge transfer, culture, continuous business, and processes. It also discusses being agile during ownership transfer through pairing, prioritizing code comfort and end users, and evolving plans. Finally, it discusses measuring ownership transfer over releases and functional project delivery, understanding the real scope, and having the right paradigm to plan and execute ownership transfer.
Modern Agile – What's It Good For? - Jacob Creech - AgileNZ 2017
The Agile Manifesto has been around since 2001 and, although the industry has rapidly developed, the principles still hold very true. However, there are lots of great new ideas that people have been experimenting with since the Manifesto was signed and, in this talk, attendees will hear about a few of these developments, focusing on the concept of Modern Agile.
About Jacob Creech:
Jacob started out in web development around 2000 and discovered that people constantly asked for things they didn't actually need, which led him on a journey of discovery that ended up in this thing called 'Agile'. He found himself in China helping develop virtual products for Second Life and then as the one and only non-Chinese person in a web development agency – good for language practice, not so much for delivering amazing work.
After some time back in New Zealand on a usability product among other things, he returned to China to co-found an Agile consulting company, worked with a variety of large, impressive-sounding international companies at a scale that would make most New Zealand cities look tiny, and managed to stumble into a range of interesting opportunities all around Asia that kept him busy for the next few years.
However, after some time, he got the itch to return to NZ and ended up at Assurity in late 2015 where he now heads up the Agile practice and works with government and non-government clients to deliver work in ever-improving ways. In his spare time, he (poorly) plays table tennis and enjoys naming babies after entrepreneurs.
A Brief History Of Work
Historically, work was seen as a curse by many ancient cultures like the Hebrews and Greeks. It was not until the Protestant Reformation that working became culturally acceptable for all people. With the Industrial Revolution, work became more discipline-based in factories rather than skilled crafts. In modern times, the rise of knowledge work has provided greater opportunities for self-expression and fulfillment in one's career.
Corporate Ethics and Social Responsibility
Ethics:
Is the consensusally accepted standards of behavior for an occupation, trade, or profession
Morality:
Is the precepts of personal behavior based on religious or philosophical grounds
.
Law:
- Formal codes that permit or forbid certain behavior
- May of may not enforce Ethics or morality
Code of Ethics:
Specifies how an organization expects its employees to behave while on the job
Ethics And Sustainability
Public relations professionals need to be actively engaged in the sustainability discussion at companies and clients. But this also means they need to understand the fundamentals of ethics policies and how ethics is woven into sustainability policies
Corporate Social Responsiblity, Ethics & Sustainability
This document discusses corporate social responsibility (CSR) and related topics. It provides context on why CSR has become important, noting corporate scandals, consumer cynicism, and demands for transparency. CSR is defined as considering society and stakeholder interests beyond legal obligations. The document outlines CSR's economic, social, and environmental dimensions and drivers of CSR development. It compares Western and African perspectives on CSR and the roles of governments and standards in facilitating CSR practices.
2010 02 19 the lean startup - webstock 2010
This document summarizes the key principles of the Lean Startup methodology for building startups with a high chance of success. It discusses how traditional management practices fail for startups due to extreme uncertainty, and promotes an approach of continuous learning through building minimum viable products and customer feedback. Specific Lean Startup techniques mentioned include continuous deployment, the five whys problem-solving method, and running frequent A/B tests to rapidly validate hypotheses about what customers want.
Aufbau von agilen und effizienten IT Organisationen mit DevOps
IT-Landschaften und -Applikationen werden zunehmend komplexer. Als Folge dessen haben Entwicklungsteams ihre Software-Entwicklungsprozesse mit der Zeit entsprechend weiterentwickelt. Autonome und selbstbestimmte Teams treten vermehrt in den Vordergrund und folgen einem agilen Ansatz und Prinzipien, die dem "Lean Software Development" entstammen. Dieser Wandel hat sich bis hin zu den Operationsteams vollzogen und so die Grenzen zwischen Entwicklung und Betrieb verschwimmen lassen.
Unter dem Begriff "DevOps" versteht man heute eine Menge an Werkzeugen, Prozessen, Best Practices, und auch Unternehmensleitlinien, die IT-Organisationen agiler und effizienter machen. Zwar sind die Werkzeuge und die Methodik unter DevOps Fachleuten gut verstanden, jedoch ergeben sich aufgrund des traditionellen IT-Betriebs (Mode 1 IT) oft nicht die versprochenen Vorteile, wie erhöhte Agilität und Flexibilität.
AWS bietet Ihnen eine flexible Plattform, auf deren Basis Unternehmen wie Netflix, Airbnb, Zalando und viele andere, DevOps Praktiken und Prozesse mit großem Erfolg umsetzen konnten.
Dieses Webinar nimmt die verschiedenen Elemente von DevOps genauer unter die Lupe und erklärt wie sie der Grundstein für diese Erfolgsgeschichten wurden.

Os Nolen Gebhart
The document summarizes a talk given by Terry Nolen and Dave Gebhart from Sabre Holdings about establishing an open source development community within a traditionally closed source company. Some key points:
- They founded an open development community at Sabre to encourage innovation and productivity in a way that aligns with open source concepts.
- Setting up the community involved gaining management support, combining existing small communities, establishing processes, and using available technology while complying with corporate standards.
- For the community to succeed it requires communicating its existence widely, using rewards to motivate contributors, and expecting a varied set of projects that will grow the community over time.
Bright Spots Analysis
It is difficult to objectively evaluate if a company will be a winner or not. Interviews, financial analysis and business plans are not enough anymore to guarantee a successful investment.
The solution is to go from subjective to objective measures.
This report measures 2 key elements in a objective way:
- Scalability of the business.
- Ability to deliver innovation consistently.
This is based on a database of several thousand companies and 4 years of research. The results that follow are compared against this research database.
The Lean Startup EA edition
The document discusses the Lean Startup methodology for building startups with a focus on minimizing risk through continuous experimentation and customer feedback. It contrasts two approaches - one that failed after 5 years and $40M by making assumptions without validating them, and one that succeeded by rapidly iterating and testing hypotheses with customers. The Lean Startup process emphasizes small batches, continuous deployment, A/B testing, and the "Five Whys" technique to drive learning and improve faster than traditional approaches.
2010 03 09 the lean startup - gdc
The document discusses techniques for building startups using a lean startup methodology. It advocates for building minimum viable products and rapidly iterating based on customer feedback. Key principles include continuous deployment of code, conducting split tests to validate hypotheses, and using metrics to measure progress and make decisions. The goal is to minimize the time to learn what customers want through short development cycles and frequent releases.
Convergence - Diverse Journeys to the Same Truth
We are all pilgrims on a common journey with many shared paths on our way to improving our capabilities and helping our organizations create and deliver value.

A Self Funding Agile Transformation
This document discusses how an agile transformation can be self-funding through an incremental, evolutionary approach. It advocates bootstrapping agile practices internally by taking iterative approaches to implementing processes. This allows benefits to be realized early on, which can then be reinvested to further the transformation. It provides an example of a company that transitioned to agile in this way, initially implementing practices like Scrum and XP on their own and seeing improvements that enabled continued training investments over time.
The Lean Startup fbFund Edition
The document discusses the Lean Startup methodology for building startups with a focus on minimizing risk through continuous experimentation and customer feedback. It outlines some key principles of the Lean Startup approach, including conducting customer development to test hypotheses, developing products through small batches and continuous deployment, using A/B testing and metrics to validate learning, and applying root cause analysis through the Five Whys technique. The overall goal is to shorten feedback loops and learn faster in order to accelerate progress and reduce the risk of failure that plagues many startups.
2010 10 19 the lean startup workshop for i_gap ireland
The document discusses the Lean Startup methodology for building startups under conditions of extreme uncertainty. It advocates for an experimental, customer-focused approach where the minimum viable product is used to test hypotheses and gather customer feedback through rapid iteration. Key techniques include continuous deployment, rapid A/B testing, and using the five whys method to identify the root causes of problems. The goal is to minimize the time to validate learning about customers through frequent releases and measurement.
Bright Spots Analysis - Sample Report
It is difficult it is to identify companies that have scalable business models AND equally important will they be able to execute their business plans. We have been working on this challenge now for over 4 years. In the past, a few interviews and some financial analysis might have been enough. Today, markets are more complex, and businesses are harder to evaluate. To solve this challenge have recently combined over 10 years of research on more than 10,000 companies to create an assessment that objectively measures: 1/. Scalability of the business 2/. And their ability to deliver innovation consistently.
The accuracy of our assessments are very good. Right now, with a 1-hour assessment, we are able to correctly classify businesses by scalability and able to predict just under 80% of their variance of innovation success
IT Symposium Agile
This document discusses how organizations can scale agile practices through DevOps. It advocates adopting the Scaled Agile Framework to facilitate organizational transformation. DevOps provides comprehensive capabilities to integrate the development lifecycle from planning to monitoring. This helps deliver value to customers by releasing products more frequently and reducing feedback time. Addressing scaling challenges involves managing large, globally distributed teams while ensuring compliance.
Virtual Team Management
The document discusses managing a virtual workforce. It defines a virtual team as being geographically dispersed but connected through technology. Managing virtual teams requires confidence in staff, researching collaboration tools, analyzing jobs for suitability, polling employees, projecting cost savings, setting clear expectations, retrofitting home offices, phasing in teams gradually, and ongoing management and evaluation. The key is proper tools, clear communication, and adapting management styles for remote work.

AgileCamp 2014 Track 1: Accelerating Agile Enterprise Adoption with Scaled Ag...Hyperdrive Agile Leadership (powered by Bratton & Company)
This document introduces the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) as an approach for applying Agile and Lean principles at an enterprise scale. It discusses how traditional development methods are not keeping pace with increasing software complexity. SAFe is presented as a proven framework that harnesses the power of Agile for large software enterprises through elements like Agile teams, program execution, alignment, code quality, and scaling practices up to the portfolio level. The document advocates for SAFe's ability to accelerate value delivery, make money faster, deliver better customer fit, and reduce risk through approaches like continuous delivery, cadenced development, and synchronizing teams.Why service design
A set of slides used to support a discussion at the Center for Design Research at Stanford University . Trying to move Design Thinking to DT2.0 so that it is fit for the next phase of development. Time to move from just doing "empathy" to a more system wide approach now that the IIOT/IND4.0 is really here and we have people, equipment, devices and processes all working (or not) together.
Quality myths
The document discusses common myths in quality assurance and provides guidance on effectively debunking myths. It defines a myth and explains why discussing myths is important for the profession. The most critical myths include definitions of quality and beliefs that automated testing eliminates manual testing or that testing requires coding skills. To debunk myths, one should present key facts without overkill, warn about false information, provide alternative explanations, and use graphics when possible. Quality assurance practices must be tailored to each specific project based on its technology, complexity, people, costs rather than following rigid processes. Factors like the type of software, industry, cost of bad quality, and a project's maturity level will impact quality approaches. Visual tools like matrices, quadrants and mind
Becoming an Enterprise SaaS Company | DecisionDesk @ TechPint
DecisionDesk provides SaaS solutions for streamlining digital admissions processes for higher education institutions. After initial success with online portfolios, they pivoted to focus on larger deals, but struggled with a massive implementation that required rewriting their product. They learned that discovery is cheaper than late discovery, experience is better than being scrappy, and to focus on either SMB or enterprise markets, not both. They now have a process of specialized roles to properly execute large deals and target the right decision makers to avoid getting bogged down in price negotiations.

The Lean Startup at Code for America fellows
The document discusses the Lean Startup methodology for developing products under conditions of extreme uncertainty. It advocates for minimizing the time between product iterations or "pivots" through rapid experimentation and validated learning about customers. This is achieved by adopting practices like continuous integration, deployment and testing to get fast feedback; measuring key metrics through techniques like A/B testing and cohort analysis; and employing customer development processes to gain insights. The document debunks some myths about Lean Startups and provides examples of how companies have implemented continuous deployment and a "cluster immune system" to learn quickly from customers.

POST1
Ten Questions that challenge the status quo at my current workplace:
1. What if we allowed customers 24/7 access to our model homes, would this increase our sales?
2. What if started a program that allowed customers to stay for one night in our model homes so that they could get a feel for the home (see if it’s a good match)?
3. What if home loans were easier to get and builders covered more costs for the customers?
4. What if my organization stopped focusing intensively on the sale and more on the actual customers’ needs as a homeowner?
5. What if all employees tried to help one another versus helping themselves? What affect would this type of partnership have on the company and its customers?
6. What if we built more than the traditional clubhouse, pool house, and common areas in our communities? What if we offered something that isn’t common such as a community go-kart track or skating rink?
7. What if we decorated the exterior of our central office, including our showroom, in themes each week to excite and attract customer’s attention? Imagine the word-of-mouth advertising we would generate.
8. What if we built a home for the local homeless people to stay in and take up donations for them to get back on their feet?
9. What if we gave one house a year away to someone in need? This type of generosity may attract customers who can appreciate us giving back to the community.
10. What if washed people cars, cut their grass, take out their trash, etc. in exchange for a donation to a local charity?
The one question I chose is #5: “What if all employees tried to help one another versus helping themselves? What affect would this type of partnership have on the company and its customers?”

Why a DevOps approach is critical to achieve digital transformation
The Internet of Things, mobile, big data and social media have all contributed to the need for a digital transformation of the products and services that companies deliver. The main objective of DevOps is to tightly integrate development and operations to improve the velocity of launching both new and enhanced existing applications to market whilst meeting other essential criteria such as quality, security and efficiency. DevOps can be a key enabler to support the Digital Transformation journey towards the new era of a unified, consistent and channel neutral experience.

3. What if home loans were easier to get and builders covered more costs for the customers?
4. What if my organization stopped focusing intensively on the sale and more on the actual customers’ needs as a homeowner?
5. What if all employees tried to help one another versus helping themselves? What affect would this type of partnership have on the company and its customers?
6. What if we built more than the traditional clubhouse, pool house, and common areas in our communities? What if we offered something that isn’t common such as a community go-kart track or skating rink?
7. What if we decorated the exterior of our central office, including our showroom, in themes each week to excite and attract customer’s attention? Imagine the word-of-mouth advertising we would generate.
8. What if we built a home for the local homeless people to stay in and take up donations for them to get back on their feet?
9. What if we gave one house a year away to someone in need? This type of generosity may attract customers who can appreciate us giving back to the community.
10. What if washed people cars, cut their grass, take out their trash, etc. in exchange for a donation to a local charity?
The one question I chose is #5: “What if all employees tried to help one another versus helping themselves? What affect would this type of partnership have on the company and its customers?”
This question is important because there is more strength in numbers meaning the mo ...
Why a DevOps approach is critical to achieve digital transformation
The Internet of Things, mobile, big data and social media have all contributed to the need for a digital transformation of the products and services that companies deliver. The main objective of DevOps is to tightly integrate development and operations to improve the velocity of launching both new and enhanced existing applications to market whilst meeting other essential criteria such as quality, security and efficiency. DevOps can be a key enabler to support the Digital Transformation journey towards the new era of a unified, consistent and channel neutral experience.

Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
Demystifying Knowledge Management through Storytelling

We will talk about system monitoring from a few different angles. We will start by covering the basics, then discuss SLOs, how to define them, and why understanding the business well is crucial for success in this exercise.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
