Risk Based Approach

Gopala P.

Whether you've been working on an agile team for 6 months, or 6 years, the same obstacles tend to arise to trip us up over and over. Maybe your retrospectives feel more like a funeral and no one is participating anymore, your daily stand-ups have bloated into 25 team member status meetings, or your QA team is falling farther and farther behind the agile developers and feel like they’ll never catch up with their testing backlog. These are the kinds of issues I see all of the time. They lower team morale, lead to abandoned transformation initiatives, and ultimately your product and customers suffer because of it. But there’s a better way! As an agile coach and consultant, I have worked with dozens of teams to stop the bleeding, strengthen their relationships, mature their processes, and help them grow into high functioning agile machines. And to be clear, I’ve made mistakes as well! I’d like to share with the audience my own experiences and lessons-learned, including both what succeeded and what failed in hopes to lead you down the path to getting your own team “unstuck”.

Far too often in our careers we trust our fate to employers. We attend training and acquire skills needed for our jobs today. Unfortunately, as far too many have learned, careers can be stalled when you don't have the right skill sets. Much of testing’s future requires automation ability beyond the traditional knowledge and experience of many testers. Jared Richardson examines key skills that you need to acquire to future-proof your career and ensure you are ready for the job you want to have. Jared focuses on deliberate learning and intentional experimentation as a solid path to expanding your knowledge base and career opportunities. He shows you what you need to master to become a technical leader in your office and in your field. Jared shares ways to practice, write, speak, and teach about what you've learned. See how you can custom fit a new path into your current job and mold your job into the one you'll want to progress with for years to come.

In Agile we embrace fast feedback and continuous improvement. This enables us to quickly inspect and adapt to make sure we’re always on the right track – be it technically, from a business and customer value perspective as well as for our team’s processes. For that reason we use practices such as short Iterations, Test Driven Development, Pair Programming, Continuous Integration, Daily Standups, Showcases, Retrospectives, Burndown Charts and many more. One thing seems to be missed in this space though, individual, peer 1-1 feedback. We do these things with our managers as part of our regular catchups and annual performance reviews, but is that the best value we can get for ourselves? When people hear the word “feedback” they immediately have a high-stress response, as most people associate it with negative feedback and something that will hurt them. This session will flip this perception and address the benefits of giving and receiving both positive as well as critical feedback to continuously improve ourselves, to learn about our blindspots, to build better and stronger relationships, and more. My goal is to inspire you and to have you leave the lunch & learn session with a positive image of feedback, as well as some ideas on how to put this into practice with your teams. About Victoria Schiffer (Agile Coach at SEEK) As the Agile Coach at SEEK I work with many passionate people and teams. We all share the purpose of helping people live more fulfilling and productive working lives and to help organisations succeed. We follow Lean principles as well as Scrum and Kanban. I love great teams, Agile Software Development & everything related to Professional Coaching! I'm a Melbourne based Agile mind with a strong technical background through seven years of experience working in different roles in the IT and the new media industry. My focus is always on the customer as well as the team building the functionality for the customer. My positive attitude creates an atmosphere of possibility and growth for my teammates and other co-workers.

Presented by John Grout This webinar is a 60-minute primer into mistake-proofing (a.k.a. poka-yoke). Information about the basics of mistake-proofing, why people make mistakes, and how to start the process of reducing mistakes will be presented in a fast-moving and entertaining format. Objectives: Build awareness of mistake-proofing Introduce a concise presentation format: “pecha kucha," with 20 slides x 0:20 seconds each = 6:40 minutes (we’ll do two of these with discussion in between). What is mistake-proofing? Include lots of examples Why do people err? How can design eliminate errors? Next steps in implementation John Grout is the David C. Garrett Jr. Professor, former dean, and award-winning teacher in the Campbell School of Business at Berry College. Dr. Grout has researched lean supply chain management and mistake-proofing (a.k.a. Poka-Yoke) extensively and published numerous articles on the topic. John was awarded the Shingo Prize for his paper, “The Human Side of Mistake-Proofing” with Douglas Stewart. John has also consulted with a large variety of firms to mistake-proof their processes.

How can a simple game transform your learning efforts? The CIA uses tabletop games to teach intelligence gathering, overcoming collection obstacles, and collaboration. The Harvard Business Review describes board games as a microcosm of business training that can help leaders and managers build the skills needed to operate effectively in the real world. In fact, board games have been used formally for teaching business concepts since at least the 1960s with the introduction of the MIT Beer Distribution game. Many instructional designers, course developers, and training managers struggle to create engaging learning programs that get results. At the ATD LearnNow: Game Design workshop, you’ll learn how to design a tabletop game that can help transform your live instruction into a powerful, memorable learning experience.

AI/ML Infra Meetup | Perspective on Deep Learning Framework

Alluxio, Inc.

AI/ML Infra Meetup May. 23, 2024 Organized by Alluxio For more Alluxio Events: https://www.alluxio.io/events/ Speaker: - Lu Qiu (Data & AI Platform Tech Lead, @Alluxio) - Siyuan Sheng (Senior Software Engineer, @Alluxio) Speed and efficiency are two requirements for the underlying infrastructure for machine learning model development. Data access can bottleneck end-to-end machine learning pipelines as training data volume grows and when large model files are more commonly used for serving. For instance, data loading can constitute nearly 80% of the total model training time, resulting in less than 30% GPU utilization. Also, loading large model files for deployment to production can be slow because of slow network or storage read operations. These challenges are prevalent when using popular frameworks like PyTorch, Ray, or HuggingFace, paired with cloud object storage solutions like S3 or GCS, or downloading models from the HuggingFace model hub. In this presentation, Lu and Siyuan will offer comprehensive insights into improving speed and GPU utilization for model training and serving. You will learn: - The data loading challenges hindering GPU utilization - The reference architecture for running PyTorch and Ray jobs while reading data from S3, with benchmark results of training ResNet50 and BERT - Real-world examples of boosting model performance and GPU utilization through optimized data access

Understanding how these models work is challenging and demands significant resources to experiment with various training algorithms and feature sets. With ML explainability, the ML team aims to bring transparency to these models, helping to clarify their predictions and behavior. This transparency also assists the operations and legal teams in explaining the reasons behind specific prediction outcomes. In this talk, Eric Wang will discuss the methods Uber used for explaining deep learning models and how we integrated these methods into the Uber AI Michelangelo ecosystem to support offline explaining.

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey. Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience. Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system. Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

Petr Matuska, Sales & Sales Engineering Lead, GraphAware Western Australia Police Force’s adoption of Neo4j and the GraphAware Hume graph analytics platform marks a significant advancement in data-driven policing. Facing the challenges of growing volumes of valuable data scattered in disconnected silos, the organisation successfully implemented Neo4j database and Hume, consolidating data from various sources into a dynamic knowledge graph. The result was a connected view of intelligence, making it easier for analysts to solve crime faster. The partnership between Neo4j and GraphAware in this project demonstrates the transformative impact of graph technology on law enforcement’s ability to leverage growing volumes of valuable data to prevent crime and protect communities.
