Sprint retrospective wartości scrum
Wielu Scrum Masterów nie ma pomysłu lub ma trudności z prowadzeniem wartościowych Retrospekcji Sprintu. Młodzi, niedoświadczeni adepci tej sztuki często ograniczają się do jednej dobrze przećwiczonej metody. Najgorzej, kiedy jest to wariacja oparta na plusach i minusach lub ćwiczeniu rozgwiazda. Każdy zespól to widział i szybko się znudzi. Z tego powodu, retrospekcja staje się "koniecznym złem” dla zespołu, nudnym spotkaniem, które nie przynosi żadnej wartości. Zespół przestaje się angażować. Dlatego warto poszerzać warsztat i sprawdzać inne metody. Dzisiaj chciałabym Ci przedstawić Retrospekcję z wykorzystaniem niedawnej zmiany w Scrum Guide - dodanych Wartości Scrum.
Kim jest Agile Tester
Nas świat przyspiesza, czas wydaje się biegnąć coraz szybciej a zalewający nas potok informacji nie ma końca. Potrzebujemy szybkich i skutecznych metod wytwarzania nowych produktów. W tym celu zostały opracowane metody i frameworki Agile, ze Scrum na czele.
Jest więcej niż bardziej prawdopodobne, że następny projekt, na którym będziesz pracował, lub nowy kontrakt będzie oznaczał pracę według reguł Agile. Organizacje już teraz zaczynają poszukiwać na rynku specjalistów określanych jako Agile Tester. Czy możemy w pełni opisać kim jest i jak działa taka osoba?
Co tester może zrobić, żeby odnieść sukces w nowej sytuacji? Jak trzeba zmienić podejście do swojej roli i sposobu wykonywania pracy. Czy potrzebne są nowe procesy i narzędzia? Czy zmienia się misja testowania? Czy to prawda, że w zespole Scrum są tylko Deweloperzy?
Zapraszam na prezentację podczas której odpowiem na pytania najbardziej nurtujące testerów spotykających Agile na swojej ścieżce zawodowej. Do pełnego zilustrowania profilu Agile Terstera posłużę się modelem popularnie stosowanym w coachingu.
Zapewnienie jakości w Scrum
Prezentacja na temat zapewnienia jakości i testowania w środowisku metod zwinnych, czyli Agil
ATDD and Conversations
1) ATDD at Paddy Power involved conversations between stakeholders to clarify requirements in a Given-When-Then format, which were then automated as tests.
2) Issues included teams not being fully cross-functional, contract negotiations, and bugs found in user acceptance testing.
3) ATDD, according to Gus, is about people, communication, collaboration, and delivering business value through clarifying conversations between stakeholders.
Agile Tester - Czy to w ogóle ma sens?
Jest już 2016, a różni guru i instytucje certyfikujące nadal promują pomysł specjalizacji Agile Tester. Jak są rozumiane Agile Tester i Agile Testing? Czy to jest zgodne z ramami Scrum? Czy Agile Testing to tylko techniki XP?

Analityk biznesowy w agile
W trakcie transformacji do Agile jeden z problemów do rozwiązania to umiejscowienie roli analityka w nowej rzeczywistości. Pula rozwiązań wydaje się tutaj mocno ograniczona standardami. Scrum Guide nie wyznacza takiej roli i nie wskazuje co zrobić z analitykiem. A może analityk nie jest w ogóle potrzebny w Agile? Nawet jeśli znajdziemy dla niego miejsce to trudno jest pracować w iteracjach tak, żeby było to wartościowe i efektywne. W swojej pracy widziałem już kilka konfiguracji w mniejszych i większych przedsięwzięciach. Każdy wybór oczywiście ma swoje plusy dodatnie i plusy ujemne. Opowiem zatem jak funckjonowała w moim doświadczeniu analiza biznesowa w środowiskach Agile, w szczególności z zespołami Scrumowymi oraz jakie są opcje rozwiązania sytuacji Analityka.
Dlaczego developerzy nie lubią scrum Zwinna Łódź
Scrum jest z nami od 1995, ale tak naprawdę pod polskie strzechy zawitał stosunkowo niedawno. W ostatnich pięciu latach zainteresowanie Scrum w Polsce nieustannie rosło. W tej chwili albo już pracujesz w czymś przypominającym Scrum, albo za chwilę będziesz. Developerzy nawet pomimo początkowej ekscytacji szybko zniechęcają się do nowego sposobu pracy. Zaczyna się hejt i marudzenie. Pomimo całej samo-organizacji i zbliżenia do użytkownika pojawia się opór i postawa obronna. Dlaczego tak się dzieje? Czy to problem z developerami? Jak przeciwdziałać problemom i sprawić, żeby praca w Scrum była przyjemna i motywująca? Opowiem o tym podczas mojego wystąpienia.

A Programmer's Guide to Humans
What makes software development complex isn't the code, it's the humans. The most effective way to improve our capabilities in software development is to better understand ourselves.
In this talk, I'll introduce a conceptual model for human interaction, identity, culture, communication, relationships, and learning based on the foundational model of Idea Flow. If you were to write a simulator to describe the interaction of humans, this talk would describe the architecture.
Learn how to understand the humans on your team and fix the bugs in communication, by thinking about your teammates like code!

I'm not a scientist or a psychologist. These ideas are based on a combination of personal experience, reading lots of cognitive science books, and a couple years of running experiments on developers. As I struggled through the challenges of getting a software concept from my head to another developer's head (interpersonal Idea Flow), I learned a whole lot about human interaction.
As software developers, we have to work together, think together, and solve problems together to do our jobs. Code? We get it. Humans? WTF?!
Fortunately, humans are predictably irrational, predictably emotional, and predictably judgmental creatures. Of course those pesky humans will always do a few unexpected things, but once we know the algorithm for peace and harmony among humans, we can start debugging the communication problems on our team.
User recruitment: What doesn't bring you joy

Here are the key points of the background:
- Wine was once a luxury good but is now more widely consumed.
- Wine quality affects price, so it's important for wine sellers to understand quality when purchasing from makers.
- Wine sellers receive samples and need to accurately classify/predict quality to maximize profits.
- The goal is to model wine quality based on physicochemical test results to aid wine sellers in selection.
Workshop #2: User Research For Everyone by Aras Bilgen
In this workshop, you will be introduced to the field of design research through a broad range of design research methods. The workshop will focus on several selected methods that anyone can use, regardless of background and job description. You will learn about selected quantitative methods (usage data, analytics, in-app audits) and qualitative methods (interviews and field immersion), and how to combine quantitative and qualitative methods to fit your project needs. Through this workshop, you will also find out ways to share findings effectively and turn them into actionable projects within the organisation.
Remote Research Workshop, UX Week 2012 - Cyd Harrell
The document discusses remote user research tools and techniques, focusing on both moderated and unmoderated remote studies. It provides examples of tools for remote moderated research like GoToMeeting as well as unmoderated automated tools like Usabilla. The presenters provide advice on best practices for remote user research including recruiting, study design, note taking, and overcoming challenges with remote methods.
Inception deck and lift off examples
The document provides examples of tools and templates that can be used to plan an agile project launch, referred to as an "Inception Deck". It includes:
1. Why We Are Here - Outlines the purpose and objectives of the project.
2. What Can You Expect - Describes the project approach, timeline, resources needed.
3. What Are We Being Asked To Do - Identifies assumptions, risks, and next steps to establish shared understanding.
The examples cover topics such as benefits, stakeholders, estimates, constraints, and tests to set the project up for success.
Estimations
Estimations are important for planning, budgeting, and communicating with clients, but are difficult to do accurately. Some key tips for providing good estimates include doing thorough research, accounting for potential problems, getting input from others, and adding a buffer to allow for unexpected issues. Estimators should be careful not to provide estimates without proper information or let others estimate for them. Even with preparation, estimates may end up being wrong at times, so it's important to communicate openly with clients about potential delays.
Active Lectures - Michelle Blackburn for TLC webinar April 2014
The document discusses using technology such as Socrative, audio feedback, and business simulations to make lectures more interactive and engage students. It provides tips for using these technologies, including ensuring understanding through polling, providing detailed audio feedback to improve student work, and running complex business simulations. Examples of positive student feedback on audio feedback are also included, praising its level of detail over brief written comments.
Building teams by reinforcing personal feedback loops
1. The document discusses building teams through reinforcing personal feedback loops. It outlines a 6 step process for providing feedback: 1) informing others of upcoming feedback, 2) encouraging note-taking, 3) writing descriptive feedback, 4) debriefing feedback in meetings, 5) allowing questions, and 6) following up.
2. Key aspects of the feedback process include using Google forms, making feedback anonymous but optional to identify, and scheduling bi-weekly coaching sessions.
3. Regular feedback aims to improve habits over time through awareness, change, and accountability. Setting this process as an example helps create a culture of trust and improvement.
Let's Sharpen Your Agile Ax, It's Story Splitting Time
No, this is not a well-formed acceptance criterion because it is not a present tense indicative statement that can be clearly determined as true or false. It does not provide enough information to determine if the requirement has been met.
Sharpen your Agile Axe by Brian Sjorber
This document discusses splitting large user stories into smaller tasks. It begins with an introduction and outline. It then covers topics like the types of issues teams track like user stories and tasks. The document emphasizes that user stories represent value to customers, while tasks represent work. It also discusses other artifacts like epics, technical stories, and information that doesn't belong in user stories. The presentation concludes with a review of key points and the definition of ready.
Speed Grooming Requirements with SAFe
André Dhondt presented on speed grooming requirements with SAFe. He discussed how normal backlog grooming creates pressure due to stories not being ready and dependencies not being identified. The SAFe framework addresses this with a speed grooming schedule that incorporates dedicated grooming sessions weekly to ensure stories are ready for planning. Key aspects of speed grooming include strict separation of defining what is needed versus how it will be implemented, progressive elaboration of stories, and inspecting and adapting the process. The goal is to respect people's time by ensuring stories are properly defined before planning begins.
Software Process... the good parts
This document summarizes Andrew Clay Shafer's talk on software processes. It discusses that Agile processes like Scrum have been oversimplified and lost their original spirit. It promotes focusing on frequent delivery, automated testing, minimizing work in progress, prioritizing quality, and inspecting and adapting processes based on outcomes. Context is important in choosing a process, and processes should promote building software to fulfill a vision rather than just completing tasks. Measuring outcomes and having conversations around user stories are also discussed.
UX Basics Workshop - Guest Lecture at NSCAD University
The document is a presentation on user experience (UX) design that defines UX, outlines key aspects of UX like understanding user needs, and provides examples. It emphasizes understanding the user through research, testing assumptions, and iterating on designs based on user feedback. The presentation includes defining UX, discussing the importance of understanding user needs through research, and providing a hands-on workshop where participants conduct user research, sketch design ideas, and get feedback to improve their designs.
Inclusive design workshop
The document discusses inclusive design and provides an overview of a toolkit created by Microsoft to support inclusive design. Some key points:
- Inclusive design aims to design products for the greatest number of people by considering factors like ability, age, gender, language etc. It recognizes that exclusion can be temporary or situational.
- The toolkit contains activity cards organized around five phases of design (get oriented, frame, ideate, iterate, optimize) to incorporate inclusive design practices.
- The cards provide instructions for activities, intended outcomes, and tips. They aim to help teams recognize exclusion, learn from diversity, and solve problems to benefit many users.
- The toolkit is meant to supplement existing design processes and

Hand Rolled Applicative User Validation Code Kata
Could you use a simple piece of Scala validation code (granted, a very simplistic one too!) that you can rewrite, now and again, to refresh your basic understanding of Applicative operators <*>, <*, *>?
The goal is not to write perfect code showcasing validation, but rather, to provide a small, rough-and ready exercise to reinforce your muscle-memory.
Despite its grandiose-sounding title, this deck consists of just three slides showing the Scala 3 code to be rewritten whenever the details of the operators begin to fade away.
The code is my rough and ready translation of a Haskell user-validation program found in a book called Finding Success (and Failure) in Haskell - Fall in love with applicative functors.
Need for Speed: Removing speed bumps from your Symfony projects ⚡️
No one wants their application to drag like a car stuck in the slow lane! Yet it’s all too common to encounter bumpy, pothole-filled solutions that slow the speed of any application. Symfony apps are not an exception.
In this talk, I will take you for a spin around the performance racetrack. We’ll explore common pitfalls - those hidden potholes on your application that can cause unexpected slowdowns. Learn how to spot these performance bumps early, and more importantly, how to navigate around them to keep your application running at top speed.
We will focus in particular on tuning your engine at the application level, making the right adjustments to ensure that your system responds like a well-oiled, high-performance race car.
