Dealing with a CMS as the source content repository can be quite cumbersome and challenging for a vendor, but the fact that it’s also an uncertain territory for customers creates a succulent business opportunity for those translation agents willing to invest and persevere in differentiating themselves through technology.
In this presentation, we will have a look at what it takes to build a workflow around your customer’s CMS and your existing tool ecosystem that (without breaking the bank) delivers the kind of efficiency and automation that, until recently, seemed only within the reach of the bigger players (and pockets) in our industry.

Lean startup 2019
The document discusses the Lean Startup methodology for developing products. It explains that most startups fail because traditional management practices do not work in contexts of extreme uncertainty.

This allows startups to change direction while maintaining focus on the core vision. The document provides examples of how companies like Apple and Xiaomi have applied Lean Startup principles through rapid iteration and a focus on the MVP.

Rich Mironov Keynote Presentation
This document discusses unpacking and understanding business value in agile development. It notes that while agile focuses on velocity, business value is about customer success and market outcomes. True business value comes from satisfying paying customers through early delivery of valuable software. Estimating business value is difficult and projects often deliver less value than estimated. To improve, teams should negotiate real tradeoffs, prioritize like items, use reality-based budgeting, and get closer to actual users and customers.
AgileCamp Dallas: Unpacking Business Value (Mironov)
From the development side, we often think of Business Value as accurate, one-dimensional, and easy to auto-sort. We unpack this a bit, and try to get back to real customer value. Core analogy: is freeze-dried astronaut ice cream really ice cream? Do our paying customers care about business value points, or only real improvements they can directly experience?

We talk a lot about code quality & tools we use. But let's talk about general software quality that *we* build.
Dangerous Ruby (or: Job Security)
The document discusses various Ruby concepts and features including:
1. Ruby is highly dynamic, productive, and unpredictable which can lead to dangerous surprises if not used carefully. The principle of least astonishment aims to avoid surprising behavior.
2. Examples demonstrate implicit blocks, alias and alias_method differences, operator precedence, parameter defaults, method definitions, and more.
3. Ruby's flexibility allows for creative and spacey method names, parameter tricks, and dynamic behavior but can surprise developers if they do not follow the principle of least astonishment. Questions are welcomed from the audience.

RubyConfLT2012: Legacy / long running projects
This document discusses legacy and long-running projects. It defines a legacy system as an old technology that continues to be used because it still meets user needs, even though newer technologies are available. It notes that long-running projects of over 2 years duration can be considered legacy. The document provides advice on when and how to rewrite legacy systems, including ensuring the new technology is mature and the team is ready. It also discusses challenges of maintaining motivation for teams on legacy projects and paying off the accumulated technical debt over time.
