Want to bring your productivity to the next level? Let's gain a desire based on an experience to make this happen.
Are you struggling with delivering a potentially releasable working product every iteration? Ever wonder what one of biggest reasons we have difficulty getting things done at the individual, team and organizational level are? Do you keep doing something even though you know it reduces your productivity and lowers quality? We are going to run an exercise that highlights one of the major culprits that you have all experienced and continue to experience. The exercise will likely ignite a little fire that will help you become more productive and improve the quality of your work. We will also discuss ways to improve this at the individual, team and organization levels. Learning Objectives for this presentation are as follows:
- Gain an understanding, through an exercise, of the cost to productivity a common habit has, that many of us indulge in.
- A new found desire to fix one of the major issues that reduces productivity and quality.
- 2 approaches to fixing the issue.
This is the version I gave at Global Scrum Gathering Orlando 2016.

Flink Forward Berlin 2017: Fokko Driesprong, Vincent Warmerdam - Using Querya...Flink Forward
In this talk we will demonstrate a matchmaking system for online video games that needs to work in a streaming setting where data is handled point by point. We will demonstrate a solution to the following problems; - How can you estimate the skill of a video game player in an online distributed setting? Both for single player matches as well as teams. - Given these skill estimations, how to you match players into teams such that the waiting time is minimal. The stack we use is apache flink together with some prototyping scripts in python. We intend to demonstrate a solution to this problem both on an engineering perspective (Fokko) as well as a machine learning perspective (Vincent). The main points; - we can leverage flink to allow us to learn and apply ML models on a stream of data [no batch at all!] - the queryable state functionality prevents the need for an external component - be mindful of some things that can go wrong when you design custom algorithms on flink

Have you ever seen an amazing product become stagnant? A great game followed by rubbish sequels? Ever worked on something for 6+ months only to see "meh" reviews and poor metrics? Misunderstanding your customer is the shortest route to self-destruction, and it's becoming easier in a more mature market. Over the years, we've experienced amazing success and periods of crisis and self-reflection. I will share some techniques we've developed that help us maintain focus, stay in touch with the players and convert feedback into design and business decisions.
The early stages of the product development lifecycle heavily influence the success and direction of any product. Unfortunately, these stages tend to be fuzzy, political, and silo-ed. The goal of the INDUSTRY Working Sessions is to apply the Design Studio methodology to arrive at solid design solutions through a collaborative, pragmatic process of illumination, sketching, presentation, critique, and iteration.

The Indie Game Developer Survival GuidePlatty Soft
Can an indie survive in the mobile world?
It may look like games for mobile is a paradise for indie developers, but truth is that it is quite hard to be noticed among the swarm of apps.
In this presentation, Raul shares the tips & tricks he has learned about how to survive as a mobile indie game developer for the past 3 years, including a post-mortem of all the games of The Pill Tree and also a post-mortem of The Pill Tree as a company.
Better Living Through Automation: Defeating Time Sucks and Doing Better WorkJesse Lavery
As a small office (or office of one) tasked with managing your institution’s website, social media accounts, and teams of co-workers and work study students, there’s a LOT to keep track of and not enough time in the day to deal with it. What if we could automate the most tedious of our daily tasks using free tools? From task management and delegation, to collecting form submissions, to dealing with email and social media mentions -- and much more -- we can eliminate time sucks and focus on doing better work. This session is equal parts workflows/examples and prompting you to think creatively about how to tie together common apps and tasks into a powerful super-system. Kind of like Voltron for web apps.
DevOps is growing in popularity in last years, particularly in (software) companies that want to reduce its lead time (time to business value from idea to production) measured in days/weeks instead of months/years?
If you want your software to do the right things and do these things right, you need to test it implacably.
The big problem is that companies see (and it is) the testing phase as the bottleneck of the process slowing down product release. To change that, we need a new way of testing our applications, making the release of an application a testing process as well, and involve QA since the beginning within the team. QAs are not a separate team anymore (DevTestOps).
What is the role of QAs in this new approach? How is the testing pyramid affected? How you can fail on trying to speed up release frequency?
In this session, we will not only describe but also actively demonstrate several techniques that you can use immediately following the session for testing applications like unicorns.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Who likes to play games?
Who plays games at work?
Take off your name tags
Who has played this?
Explain game
How long to write one name?
How long to write 5 names?
Gather factors on flip chart. Big letters.
You came here as Scrum Conference Attendees and you need a name tag written for you because you don’t know how to write letters.
For the purposes of this exercise, please remove your official conference name tags.
Lucky for you we have hired a company that says they are great at writing name tags.
They were the lowest bidder and said they would never leave a customer waiting. They believe in start early and finish early. They aim to please everyone. Who couldn’t go wrong with that.
Service at a Snap
Each table is going to break up into Customers and developers. Please remove your name tags …
Seated like this. Some of you didn’t know this coming in but you actually work for SaaS.

Seated like this. Some of you didn’t know this coming in but you actually work for SaaS.
Seated like this. Some of you didn’t know this coming in but you actually work for SaaS.
Only skill needed to be developer is ability to write letters.
Customers each have a blank card and need your name written on it. Problem is you don’t know how to write letters.
Furthermore you want your card delivered as quickly as possible.
I will provide a big stopwatch to track the time for delivery.
If bug, you must return
Ordering process:
- Send you card, tell your name
- Wait for name
- Time how long it took
Misspellings must be corrected before checking time
Remove name tags
Just write names but have to adhere to corporate policy.
Mention customer should have a card and sharpie.
Animate sequence of serving each customer equally.

Animate sequence of serving each customer equally.
Tabulate results. Collect results in seconds after you finish, write them on the round 1 card and hold the card up.
Debrief round 1, what influenced and rattle off whether it was one of the influencing factors that the group came up with.
Tabulate results. Collect results in seconds after you finish, write them on the round 1 card and hold the card up.
This was the simplest possible project
-‐
Just write a name on a piece of paper! Yet, multitasking caused us to blow the delivery time by 1250%.
Not only that, it also reduced our productivity to one third of what we expected.
We thought it would take 25 seconds to write 5 names, but it took 60 seconds!
Well you know what Sloth Company …
Lucky for you we have hired a company that says they are great at writing name tags.
They were the lowest bidder and said they would never leave a customer waiting. They believe in start early and finish early. They aim to please everyone. Who couldn’t go wrong with that.
Service at a Snap
Service at a Snap, Ha, Slow as a Sloth.
They believe in start early and finish early. They aim to please everyone. Who couldn’t go wrong with that.
Developers stand up, YOU’RE FIRED!! Now switch places with the other developer or find another table to switch with.
Turns out SaaS stood for Slow as a Sloth. Go figure.
We now hired the git er done company and there motto is to make one customer happy at a time.
Now we are going to hire a new company
Ordering process:
- Send your card, tell your name
- Wait for name
- Time how long it took
Misspellings must be corrected before checking time
Remove name tags
Just write names but have to adhere to corporate policy.
Which one of the factors had biggest impact?
How did these two rounds feel to you as Dev or Customer?
What was it like being the last customer in round 2, compared to in round 1?
What do you think about the statement ‘if we start early, we’ll finish early’?
How does this influence release planning? For example, what do we know after 10 seconds in round 1 vs. round 2?
What would have happened if the dev was perfect at task switching?
How does this influence product quality?
Does this multitasking problem feel familiar? Who is experiencing this right now? Who has experienced this in the past?
What causes us to do this? Why is the problem so common?
When is multitasking a good idea? Who benefits in round 1?
What can you do to combat this problem in your environment?
Did your rounds look similar to this?
Even if you were perfect at context switching it would still take the same length of time to deliver all items.
Little’s law – If you do X things simultaneously, then each thing will take X times longer.
This is better but having more then 2 items in flight will cause you to be less active in removing impediments on higher priority projects.
Your brain, team, program, organization multitasking
Your brain, the team, program, organization
Get good at uni-tasking.
Hire people that hate multitasking
Purpose of Talk – Highlight one of the major culprits to productivity and provide some techniques for improving. When I talk about productivity I don’t necessarily mean output. More like outcome. Give example. Become CSC versus output of coaching activity.
Give awareness of something else
Increase desire to change because of awareness
With that desire you will want to gain the ability to make change
Promote the success that happened because of change
Transfer to others to repeat ADAPT loop
From Succeeding with Agile by Mike Cohn:
Awareness that the current process is not delivering acceptable results
Desire to adopt Scrum as a way to address current problems
Ability to succeed with Scrum
Promotion of Scrum through sharing experiences so that we rememberand others can see our successes
Transfer of the implications of using Scrum throughout the company
Have you ever been on a project where the work you ship feels like this?
