Kickstart Your Product with a Design Sprint by thestartupfactory.techProduct School
In a fluid and fast-paced world of Product, Product Management and building Product Roadmaps, even the most skilled of teams can struggle with a specific proposition, have misaligned priorities or simply get stuck from time to time. That's where the Design Sprint comes in – a process born at Google Ventures. This presentation unravels how a Design Sprint can get you and your team back on track in just 5 days. Not only that, but get a sneak peek into Design Sprint 2.0: now 20% faster than the original!
Abstracting the Individual Sys at Scale by Expedia Prod. AnalystProduct School
- Design has shifted from creating positive user experiences to creating positive (societal) outcomes and our systems need machine intelligence and the ability to scale to achieve that
- To capture positive outcomes we need to abstract the design of our machine intelligence systems at the highest level possible, while maintaining the ability to get it right for each and every individual
- With the advent of more complex systems, assessing system performance, experimenting and measuring impact is also becoming an increasingly complex problem. What new developments should we be aware of and why should we care about them?
This talk is about understanding the team dynamics at play on a Design Sprint. It briefly explains what is a Sprint, when to do one and who should be in it, as well as its structure. Then, it explains what makes it so successful, by understanding the mechanics that make it work.
I gave this talk at a local meetup, called Braga.Product. I hope to have the video of this talk available soon.
Meet me Halfway: Developers and Designers Pairing for the WinThoughtworks
The Agile Manifesto makes little mention of anyone except developers pairing with each other.
Designers and developers should work more closely. Share desk space, war stories, and insight into customers and technology. From better mutual understanding comes better results.
In this presentation from YOW! Connected 2015, developer Charles Korn and designer Greg Skinner discuss just how valuable designer and developer pairing can be.
They use examples to cover off pairing developers with designers: from understanding of the customer to the opportunities presented by the technology, and why it’s so relevant in our IoT, mobile, and multi-touchpoint society.

Why so many Agile projects are failing? Have we looked at what our teams are missing. Are we learning quickly? Have we deployed the growth mindset/ Agile Mindset.
Agile Basics for Government with ThoughtWorks
Most people interested in the field of innovation have heard of agile innovation teams. These small, entrepreneurial groups are designed to stay close to customers and adapt quickly to changing conditions. When implemented correctly, they have a reputation for almost always result in higher team productivity and moral, faster time to market, better quality and lower risk than traditional approaches can achieve.
But while agile methods caught on first in IT departments and are now widely used in software development, the agile approach has potential to transform the public sector in ways far beyond better bits and bytes. Conditions are ripe for agile teams in any situation where problems are complex, solutions are at first unclear, project requirements are likely to change, and close collaboration with end users is feasible: a description that matches many facing a wide variety of public sector activities.
This session will provide participants with an opportunity to explore what the world of agile can teach them – about themselves, their work and their potential to serve their clients better, whatever their role. It will confront some of the common myths and misconceptions about agile, and demonstrate how an agile approach can enable teams to deliver sooner and scale faster through a proven learning culture that builds and strengthens the team and its capabilities.
Fast then Faster - a Retrospective on RetrospectivesAtlassian
So, you’re agile. You’ve got a healthy backlog, you understand your team’s velocity, and you’re holding retrospectives. You’re in a good place – right? Maybe not. You may have a handle on the quality of your stories & their output, but what about that of your team and those around you? Or your agile processes themselves?
Retrospectives are a great way to get feedback, but they are often both undervalued and underutilized as a tool for improvement. Agile gets you fast, but retrospectives get you faster.
We’ll walk you through what good and bad retrospectives look like, how to tell when they’re failing, and (more importantly) how to uncover what's lurking behind bias, ego, and protocol.
If you’re in doubt if this session is for you, suggest a team under pressure skips the retrospective this week, and see just how quickly they drop the most important part of the agile cycle!
Products covered:

I was talking at a GDG event on Design Sprint about how we can reduce the lead time on developing new ideas and products and build prototypes, test and validate.
Using a Design Sprint to Accelerate Innovation - Agile AustraliaRob Scherer
Last year, we worked on a project where we trialled the design sprint process created by Google Ventures.
We’d identified an opportunity. We had a segment of the market that we weren’t serving particularly well and when we had a look around, it seemed that nobody else was either. The area was ripe for disruption and we believed that if we didn't disrupt ourselves, somebody else would.
This talk covers:

UX Conversion Camp is the UK's only brand-only conversion event, organised by Keep It Usable. 2017 was the best yet! Here are the slides from our fantastic presenter, Karl Rowlands of Matalan. For more information on UXCC, please visit www.uxconversioncamp.com
As product discovery never follows a linear process, participants of this interactive hands-on session will be introduced to the »Exploration Model« as an exploratory framework that structures discovery activities around four overarching strategic areas: 1) Mandate Evaluation, 2) Value Partner Comprehension, 3) Sense-Making, and 4) Solution Validation. The session will show how continuous small excursions into these areas help to answer the four most critical discovery questions: Is it a good idea? Is it a real problem worth solving? Are we focussing on the right customers? Do we offer the right customer value?
In 60 minutes, demonstrated by way of practical examples and exercises, participants will learn how to put the Exploration Model into practice and turn an early idea or vision into success. Accompanied by the »Unstuck Map« – an exploratory tool to pick the right frameworks – participants will learn how to drive and master the process of building the right products for the right people, serving the right needs, and thereby creating a better business outcome.
Harnessing Your Product Manager Superpowers with Trello, Confluence, and JiraAtlassian

As a leader, you’ve likely faced the stress of ever-expanding goals and targets. Every year brings new opportunities to set the bar higher and higher. This leaves some leaders in a constant cycle of asking themselves:
- Why are my profits down?
- Why are we missing deadlines/quality standards?
- Why is morale down and/or turnover high?
- Why can’t I find good people?
- When will I get my life back?
However, these questions fail to address the heart of the problem. Often, the problem starts with company culture. The organization isn’t set up to learn and adapt quickly, and knowledge about new learnings isn’t easily shared company-wide.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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:

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

shots in my career. I’ve lost

winning shot and missed. I’ve
failed over and over and over
again in my life, and that is why I
succeed.”
