Mile High Agile 2016 conference is posting materials from our speakers so attendees can familiarize themselves and deepen their research and understanding.
First Speaker : Bob Galen
Agile Anywhere in the 21st Century: Setting up distributed teams to be effectiveAgileDenver
This presentation will focus on the topic of working in a distributed agile team. We’ll go over terminology (remote vs near shore vs offshore vs distributed vs satellite etc) and I will share three different examples of distributed teams I’ve worked on and how we managed to be agile with our practices around pairing, knowledge sharing, and minimizing upfront design.
We will discuss why the notion of distributed teams is becoming more and more relevant for modern organizations, what advantages and drawbacks exist, and what leadership needs to carefully evaluate when asking if distributed is right for their teams.
From Divided to United - Aligning Technical and Business TeamsDominica DeGrandis
This is a true story of one SaaS company's journey to gain alignment across business and technical teams by changing how four important factors were viewed: customer demand, work prioritization, team metrics, and communication etiquette.
Presentation given at Mile High Agile 2016 about how to modernize the portfolio planning and road mapping process to better fit with software product development planning.
The D Files: Debunking Myths About Distributed TeamsAgileDenver
We can’t do agile – teams need to be co-located!,” we often hear from naysayers about adopting agile in companies with remote workers. We know that distributed teams – be they off-shore, on-shore, near-shore, in-shore, whatever-shore – are the way many businesses operate today. How can we, as agilists in our organizations (as ScrumMasters, Product Owners, consultants, trainers, etc.), resolve the challenges that distributed teams face? This talk will review some of the common issues that distributed teams face and we’ll talk through real-world, practical solutions that I’ve used with my teams; techniques you can take back to your teams immediately.
Many Agile practitioners are comfortable working iteratively in small slices once there’s a basic foundation, but struggle with where to start on a new project, product, or other big idea. Participants in this session will learn how to use Richard’s Feature Mining technique to find early slices of any big idea that provide value, learning, and risk-mitigation.
Agile For All clients have used this successfully for all kinds of software products, for combined software and hardware systems, and even beyond software in such areas as park construction and office remodeling. In some cases, projects with apparent significant up-front infrastructure requirements were able to ship a valuable slice to customers after just one or two sprints.

Beyond the Crystal Ball –The Agile PMO - Heather Fleming and Justin RiservatoAtlassian
Perhaps we've set our project management officers (PMOs) up for failure. Without knowing it, we ask them to predict the future using a one-size-fits-all approach to best practices – and that just doesn't work. There is no magic crystal ball! Learn how an agile PMO can help your organization tackle the right work, at the right time, with the right teams using JIRA.
Does this FizzGood? Improve velocity, predictability & agility by asking a si...Jon Terry
LeanKit's founding team had a strong Lean-Agile background from previous careers. So, in the early days of the company, we just instinctively did things in a Lean way with as few formal processes as any startup. But, like any growing company, we eventually did have to start clearly defining how we do things. And like anyone, we were tempted to become more bureaucratic - with lots of scheduling, coordination, meetings and estimates.
Instead, we developed our FSGD (Frequent Small Good Decoupled) approach. This LeanKit way of working has provided our teams with a simple yardstick for making effective decisions without a lot of cross team scheduling and coordination. It has simplified abstract Agile concepts into something everyone easily understands and cheerfully applies on a daily basis.
FSGD isn't a replacement for Kanban, Scrum, XP, etc. We strongly believe in and spend lots of time teaching our teams about the Kanban Method as well as standard Lean and Agile principles, tools, and techniques. But FSGD distills what we think are the key decision making elements of those methods into something everyone can remember.
We apply this model to all of our teams: design, development, testing, operations, sales, marketing, finance, HR. Indeed, we believe that applying it as broadly as possible makes it work most effectively.
Indeed, that's part of why the model doesn't reference software directly at all. It's meant to be generally applicable. One sub-concept included in the slides TLDR (Tested, Logged, Documented, Reviewed) is more specific to the technology context.
We have seen significant improvements in our delivery speed across multiple teams since rolling out the FSGD approach. We want to help other people gain the same benefits.

Scaling Product Thinking with SAFe - The Secret Sauce for Meaningful Product ...Cprime
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is the agile methodology of choice for many large enterprises. It promises predictable and frequent delivery in complex environments.
Our experience with organizations that adopt SAFe shows that an organization’s willingness to blend product-thinking, technical agility and a culture of learning is the secret sauce for catapulting the organization from “process excellence” into meaningful product impacts.
In this webinar, we’ll share tried and tested ways of introducing product thinking and engineering practices into SAFe organizations, covering organizational, product, and technical ground.
You'll learn:
- How to establish products as value streams and gently reorganize ARTs over time without sacrificing product community or continuity.
- How to use product stories to engage your teams before and during PI planning in a way that invites collaboration on a healthy blend of continuous discovery and delivery.
- How customer, architectural, and operational learning pave the way for scaling to teams of teams from a DevOps perspective, including patterns and anti-patterns.
Agile concepts for quality and process engineers for slideshareYuval Yeret
Excerpt from a session introducing agile concepts for a group of quality engineers in a big enterprise undergoing an agile transition.
The aim was to expose Quality/Process engineers to the concepts of agility and emphasize the impact on process/methodology development, the approach of evolution vs big design up front and its impact on their work. I used a lot of the classic agile examples (a lot of them by Henrik Kniberg) and adjusted for the development of methodology, to show that actually the agile approach should be discovered using an agile process.
Also covers some complexity thinking aspects.
And of course - this is not limited to methodology for IT/product development, but to many kinds of change management.
Agile: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly - Webinar by Clarke Ching Agile - Septe...MARRIS Consulting
Webinar by Clarke Ching Agile and ToC expert. Agile: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. If your Agile is broken then this is how to fix it!
Your Agile teams are busy. Busy delivering. Busy improving. Your quality is amazing. Rework is low. The product looks great. Your users love it. You are a high performing team!
But your internal customers say your teams are slow. This session will teach you how to use the Theory of Constraints to figure out how to speed up, by finding the one thing that’s slowing them down.
This webinar will cover how, in an Agile environment:
- to better control scope creep,
- to reinforce your relationship with the I.T. Development team’s client,
- to be able to make commitments and honour them and
- to decide where your bottleneck should be.
About the speaker
Clarke Ching is a computer scientist with an MBA who discovered Goldratt’s Theory of Constraints (ToC) in 2003 and has been using it ever since to accelerate Agile initiatives. He is fascinated by Agile and obsessed with ToC.
He wrote the amazon best-sellers Rolling Rocks Downhill and The Bottleneck Rules. Rolling Rocks Downhill teaches 3 things: the fundamentals of Agile combined with ToC; how to use those fundamentals to deliver big projects faster and on time; and how to deliver quietly huge transformations. It’s been featured in The Guardian newspaper and The Spectator magazine. It was one of Barbara Oakley’s top 10 books of 2019. It was the #2 best-selling Leadership book on amazon.com, just behind Steven Covey’s 7-habits book.
He has been Agile / Lean / ToC expert in: GE Energy, Dell, Royal London (life insurance & pensions), Gazprom and Standard Life Aberdeen among other organizations. He is the past Chairperson of Agile Scotland. He is a lecturer at Victoria University School Of Management in New Zealand where he now lives.
Today he is the founder and Chief Productivity Officer of Odd Socks Consulting
We use this slide deck to explain the Agile practices that we teach. This is what we call our "Agile Buffet", you don't have to adopt all of these practices but you should understand them so that you can use them as necessary. We are always modifying this presentation, so if you want the most current one, contact us.
Product Agility: 3 fundamentals from the trenches (Braga,PT)Pedro Teixeira
Product Agility: 3 Fundamentals from the Trenches
There is no silver bullet for Product and Business Agility.
On this talk, you will know which are the fundamentals and some of the initiatives in place in the OutSystems Engineering Journey to better responding rapidly and flexibly to our customer's demands.
We all know, given the right mindset, that Agile approaches are a great way to get results and for people to go home feeling that they have contributed.
But no one really asks why. Why does it work?
This presentation, given at the Agile Business Conference in London in 2013 provides a collection of Agile-independant thoughts and ideas to make people think.
Above all, it provides some take aways to help judge if the team has a solid understanding of purpose and if the team is just well, how can on say, "dysfunctional".
This presentation covers why visualization is a good thing in projects, and some of the various simple but powerful visualization techniques which can be used in Agile projects.
Using Flow-based Road Mapping & OptionsAgileDenver
If you’d like an alternative to typical, quarter-by-quarter, schedule oriented road mapping (and all the associated waste) then this session is for you. Cat Swetel and Matt Barcomb will introduce the CadencedFlow approach to flow-based road mapping.
They will first cover how to layout and execute a road map based on models that better fit software planning as well as how to transform your existing plans. Next, using options thinking to frame work will be explored and how to apply starting and stopping triggers to options reducing the need of blind budgeting practices. Finally, Cat and Matt will wrap up by touching on a few key metrics that will let you monitor and evaluate your new road map.

Test Automation Strategies for the Agile WorldTechWell
With the adoption of agile practices in many organizations, the test automation landscape has changed. Bob Galen explores current disruptors to traditional automation strategies, and discusses relevant and current adjustments you need to make when developing your automation business case. Open source tools are becoming incredibly viable and beat their commercial equivalents in many ways―not only in cost, but also in functionality, creativity, evolutionary speed, and developer acceptance. Agile methods have fundamentally challenged our traditional automation strategies. Now we must keep up with incremental and emergent systems and architectures and their high rates of change. Bob explores new automation strategies, examining strategies for both greenfield applications and those pesky legacy projects. Learn how to wrap a business case and communication plan around them so you get the support you need. Leave the workshop with a serious game-plan for delivering on the promise of agile test automation.
Seven Keys to Navigating Your Agile Testing TransitionTechWell
So you’ve “gone agile” and have been relatively successful for a year or so. But how do you know how well you’re really doing? And how do you continuously improve your practices? And when things get rocky, how do you handle the challenges without reverting to old habits? You realize that the path to high-performance agile testing isn’t easy or quick. It also helps to have a guide. So consider this workshop your guide to ongoing, improved, and sustained high-performance. Join seasoned agile testing coach Bob Galen as he share lessons from his most successful agile testing transitions. You’ll explore actual team case studies for building team skills, embracing agile requirements, fostering customer interaction, building agile automation, driving business value, and testing at-scale stories of agile testing excellence. You’ll examine the mistakes, adjustments, and the successes—so you’ll learn how to react to real-world contexts. Leave with a better view of your team’s strengths, weaknesses, and where you need to focus to improve.
The Lean Startup Method and Its Value for TestersJosiah Renaudin
A startup is an organization created to deliver a new product or service under conditions of extreme uncertainty. Approximately 40 percent of all startups will cease operations with investors losing everything; 95 percent will fall short of their financial projections. And the number one cause of failure? No one wants to buy their product. Eric Ries, author of The Lean Startup, learned that under conditions of extreme uncertainty, classical management methods do not bring success. He formulated the Lean Startup Methodology based on his and others’ experiences. This methodology consists of five important ideas: (1) Build-Measure-Learn (BML) loop, (2) Minimum Viable Product (MVP), (3) Validated Learning, (4) Customer Development, and (5) One Metric That Matters. Lee Copeland believes these keys to the Lean Startup methodology have great value for testers. Come and discover how the BML loop is similar to exploratory testing, how the MVP idea suggests a Minimum Viable Set of Tests, how Customer Development suggests developing clients for your testing services, and more. Learn how to apply Lean Startup ideas in your testing organization.

The 3 Pillars Approach to Agile Testing Strategy with Bob Galen & Mary ThornTEST Huddle
Far too often agile adoptions focus just on the development teams, agile frameworks, or technical practices as a part of their adoption strategies. And then there’s the near perpetual focus on tooling or developing test automation without striking a balanced approach. Often the testing activity and the testing teams are “left behind” in agile strategy development or worse yet, they’re simply “along for the ride”. That is not an effective transformation strategy.
Join experienced agile coaches Bob Galen and Mary Thorn as they share the Three Pillars framework for establishing a balanced strategic plan for effective quality and testing. The Three Pillars focus on development and test automation, testing practices, and collaboration activities that will ensure you have a balanced approach to agile testing. Specifically, risk-based testing, exploratory testing, paired collaboration around agile requirements, agile test design, and TDD-BDD-Functional testing automation will be explored as tactic within a balanced Three Pillars framework. You will leave with the tools to immediately initiate or re-tool a much more effective and balanced agile testing strategy.

The Three Pillars Approach to Your Agile Test Strategy Brian Estep
First of all, I’ve seen way too many teams who are just “testing” in agile teams without a map or a plan for improvement. I’ve also seen that Agile Adoption is mostly a developer-centric or technology-centric play. They “drive” and testing is “along for the ride”. Seatbelts please! And where’s the focus on “Quality”? And the how or practices & tactics?
Sprint Reviews that Attract, Engage, and Enlighten StakeholdersTechWell
Are you suffering from chronic disinterest in what your team is delivering? Are your product owners unavailable or distracted? Are your sprint reviews ho-hum experiences with low attendance? If you answered Yes to any of these questions, your agile teams are in trouble-and you need to attend this session. Experienced agile coach Bob Galen explores real-world patterns for how to increase the interest in-and the energy and value of-your sprint reviews. First, Bob explains how to prepare properly, the keys to dry runs, and the role of a Master of Ceremonies. Then he examines ways to orchestrate pro-active reviews that include the whole team and engage your audience when demonstrating "working software." Next Bob discusses how to perform a review follow-up and gather feedback for high-impact improvements. Finally, Bob wraps up by exploring ways to make sprint reviews a centerpiece of your agile adoption and transformation.
Beyond agile - Pitfalls & misconceptions when working with SCRUM & Co | Ralf ...Ralf C. Adam
A talk about agile project management workflows & methods and their potential advantages and pitfalls. First held at Quo Vadis Game Developer Conference in Berlin, May 2015

Can a team with 3 software developers build a “tailored” product in a few months and replace an enterprise solution that no longer fully satisfies business needs?
In this talk I will tell you how we managed to put a first working version of the new product into production in a few months, combining a strong desire for simplicity, good technical practices, and a lean approach.
At the end of the talk, you will understand that collaboration, feedback, and a process to support the product make any kind of goal achievable!
Gilt Senior Director, Program Management Office Heather Fleming and Director of Program Management Justin Riservato discuss Agile, Gilt's PMO challenges and more in this informative presentation.
We’ve all dealt with the pain of helping Enterprise size clients to implement and work with Agile. Sometimes that failed abruptly.
Have you worked with a poor product backlog? Was the Product Owner unable to take a decision on story priorities? Have you worked with a client partly committed to agile? Was the product deemed done by the PO and team only to be failed later in the path to production?
Let’s fictively explore together some of these pains and ponder on solutions for them.
OK, I’m ready to DevOp. Now what?
We’ve heard a lot about the technologies behind DevOps, and even a bit on the processes that some DevOps shops employ. What we haven’t heard too much about directly is a fundamental matter of bootstrapping. If you’re a leader or influencer in a software or IT shop, you’re sold on this DevOps idea but overwhelmed by the difference between where you are now and where you need to be, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve heard all about the unicorns of the movement, and what they are doing. Much time is spent talking about their innovative technologies. But how did they get there? Moreover, how can YOU get there? We’re going to spend some time discussing how to get started and find success on the rocky road to DevOps. We’re going to talk about the roles of executives, middle managers, front line managers, and individual contributors in this transformation. We’ll talk about the layered approach to transforming your culture, and building the processes and tool chains on top of it. At the tactical level, we’re going to talk about an example team and what their first year looks like, what are the major milestones they will reach, and how to measure their success along the way.
When building your Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) examples, do you first dive into detailing all the given-when-then narratives? Chances are good that you're doing more speculative work than you should. Let's learn how to shape our BDD features using a just-in-time (JIT) mentality. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn about when and how to negotiate stories around BDD scenario names. You'll discover how this focus can help you: * learn how to break down larger stories * determine the scope to be delivered * transition the conversation (story) into a dependable artifact.
MHA2018 - How the Marine Corps Creates High-Performing Teams - Andrew McKnigh...AgileDenver
Andrew McKnight "Outside of the 13-week grueling boot camp that every Marine goes through, what do the Marines do to have the title of the ""World's 911 Response Force?""
It isn't because they come out of the Marine Corps boot camp being able to run 3-miles with ease, are hand-to-hand combat proficient, or can shoot a human-sized target from 500 yards with deadly accuracy.
It's because the most basic team in the Marines is a 4-person, cross-functional team that is empowered to train, learn and grow together; are technically and tactically proficient, and operate in a decentralized decision-making model the ensures those with the most current and relevant information are the ones making the decisions.
Join me in exploring how the Marine Corps uses this small unit to excel on the battlefield, and how you can use these approaches to build high performing teams in your organization."
MHA2018 - Your Agile Adoption is Going to Fail (and you're gonna fall right o...AgileDenver
"You can see your whole agile transition program starting to lose its grip. Culture and mind-sets have not changed (or not changed enough). You're going to fall! This lecture will shed light on the true and dire nature of your situation, and provide you with a thin lifeline and carabiner of hope. Most Agile adoptions focus on the implementation of a framework (Scrum, XP, SAFe, LeSS, etc) and the use of practices and techniques as an attempt to ""fake it 'til you make it,"" which should spur on the growth mindset. Companies and coaches believe you can change the culture and change the mindsets and the benefits of a truly agile organization will then follow. This is all a lovely self-deception. Humans are emotional creatures, and even the most logical Spock-like among us are still driven by the chemicals and irrational survival thought processes in our brains. This talk covers several examples of irrational failures, followed by examples of irrational successes, where the use of the art of persuasion was applied. In this new age where facts no longer matter, fake news fools people, and Stephen Colbert's 'truthiness' is in the dictionary, it's time to lay down the cumulative flow diagrams and focus on the actual methods that will affect change.

MHA2018 - Rebuilding Trust through Transparency - Meg WardAgileDenver
"Are you in a position where it feels like there's no trust between you and your stakeholders? Or are you worried that you might be heading into that position?
I've been there, and I'm here to help. In February 2016, I moved from Developer to Manager of a team who were in their fifth year of a two-year project. To make matters worse, they had another deployment of an equally complex product that needed to happen nearly immediately due to competitive pressures (spoiler alert: we did not hit the deadline the customer wanted).
In this talk, I'll cover tips and tricks to build transparency, and with that transparency, build trust as well as about how to overcome a legacy of distrust and build stronger relationships. Additionally, I will talk about what has and hasn't worked and how we've dealt with and overcome additional setbacks."
MHA2018 - The Experimentation Mindset - Doc NortonAgileDenver
Among the traits that distinguish a good team from a great team is their ability to innovate. Despite the rhetoric in favor of innovation, most organizations are stuck in an implementation mindset, stifling creativity, excellence, and the resultant innovation. The experimentation mindset frees us from self-imposed constraints, allowing us to continually learn and improve. In this session, we’ll talk about how we learn as individuals and how we learn as organizations. We’ll take a look at some examples of the experimentation mindset happening in the agile community today and we’ll talk about how you can foster such a mindset in your own organization.
MHA2018 - Only Responsible Leaders Can Collaborate in a High-Functioning Team...AgileDenver
"As a Lean-Agile leader, you can turn your leadership team into a high-performing Lean-Agile leadership team. This highly interactive mashup workshop explores what happens when team members take personal responsibility, come from a place of vulnerability, and therefore authentically facilitate real collaboration to produce great results.
Christopher Avery's responsibility process describes the phases we go through on our way to taking real responsibility.
Patrick Lencioni describes the five dysfunctions of team, and by extension the five behaviors of a high-functioning, collaborative team.
Jean Tabaka taught us how to facilitate collaboration by creating safety in a room and on a team and by ensuring that all voices are heard.
In this highly interactive workshop, we will explore together what happens we are a stuck in something less than a place of responsibility, and what impact that has on our ability to collaborate effectively on a team.
Then we will explore how working our way to a place of responsibility also helps us create and contribute to a healthy team, and how to facilitate a team that can collaborate to create great things.
Attendees will walk away with a process you can run with your team to help you and your team reach performance and responsibility."

MHA2018 - It's a "self-organizing" team -- how can I help them? - Erika LenzAgileDenver
"Your teams seem to be working ok -- they attend meetings, stories move across the board, most work gets done, eventually. But when a problem comes up, they point fingers or scatter like ants in a rainstorm. Why aren't they proactive? Why don't they have a sense of ownership? Why don't they collaborate and participate in decision-making? You told them they were self-organizing!!!
""Self-organization"" is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Agile. Research shows that most high-performing teams are self-organizing. Why, then, are high-performing teams so rare?
This talk will help participants accomplish the following learning objectives:
* Be able to distinguish between the four types of team (manager-led, self-managing, self-organizing, self-governing).
* Identify what kind of team(s) they are working with.
* Understand the types of authority teams need to have to be self-organizing.
* Understand the types of support needed from managers, scrum masters, and others.
* Identify behaviors they can model / exhibit to help their teams become more self-organizing.
This is primarily a lecture format, interspersed with table or paired discussions. "
MHA2018 - Validate It Before You Build It: The Experiment Canvas - Brad SwansonAgileDenver
Validated Learning is the core of the Lean Startup philosophy and it tells us to run low-cost experiments to validate our product ideas. The Experiment Canvas is a one-page simple tool that guides you through the process from articulating the problem (the market opportunity), identifying risks & uncertainties, and selecting the most appropriate experiments to address the biggest risks. Participants will learn about a variety of techniques for running low-cost product experiments to measure gauge the market and ultimately to build the Right Thing.
MHA2018 - How Agile Coaching Practices Can Be Used in Schools To Get Students...AgileDenver
"Are we doing all we can as educators to prepare students for the demands of the modern workplace? In this session we will explore how Agile is being used in the classroom, how SCRUM ceremonies are the key to student reflection and growth, and what our community can do to promote Agile in schools. This session will be divided into 3 parts:
1. What Are the Challenges that Public and Private Education Faces in the 21st Century?
2. How Coaching Students Using Agile Ceremonies Can Solve the Problem of Workplace Readiness
3. What the Agile Community Can Do To Promote Agile in Schools "
MHA2018 - Going with the Flow: Adapting Scrum Practices for Marketing - Andre...AgileDenver
The worlds of software and marketing are converging, but that doesn't mean the two groups look the same when practicing Agile. Scrum, while still the dominant choice for developers, often fails to translate in a marketing environment. But by incorporating more flow-based practices from the Kanban world, marketers can take Agile and make it their own. This session draws on new research from hundreds of marketers, as well as on-the-ground experience from an Agile marketing coach. If you're struggling with Agile outside of IT, you may need to start going with the flow.
MHA2018 - When will it be done - Probabilistic Predictions - Prateek SinghAgileDenver
"The very first question a customer asks us when we start work is - When will it be done? Traditional methods of answering this question are fraught with errors. The most common errors include heavy reliance on estimates and use of averages to give one deterministic answer. We are all aware that our world is not deterministic and each prediction has a probability of being right and a complimentary probability of being wrong. In this session, we will use examples and a simple exercise to demonstrate a much easier method which can help make probabilistic predictions.
These predictions can help teams have more informed conversations with their customers about their probability of completing a project on time and around the risk profiles of their projects. The audience will learn how with very little estimation and simple measurements they can better inform and equip teams, managers and customers with information about possible completion dates of the project. We will show how these techniques are actively being used to predict the completion of single items and a set of multiple items in the real world. "
MHA2018 - Docker and Jenkins Pipeline for Continuous integration - Mark WaiteAgileDenver
"DevOps lets development teams deploy to production. Developers and testers don't want to break production.
Combining Docker containers and Jenkins Pipeline automates the deployment pipeline and reduces production breaks.
They are a powerful pair in the DevOps toolbox."
MHA2018 - Jen Krieger - Getting Started with KanbanAgileDenver
Often times teams that struggle with Scrum see Kanban as the "easier" way of working. Do you have a team that thinks that? Kanban is as rigorous in process as Scrum is, when you take advantage of all of the tools it has to offer. Come and learn the history of Kanban, the basic mechanics on getting started, and what you do once you master To Do, Doing & Done.
MHA2018 - The Immunity to Change - How to discover individual or team resista...AgileDenver
Often we know what we need to change in our behaviors; however, for some reason we either don’t, won’t or can’t sustain the change. This session teaches a method, Immunity to Change, that can help get to the root of the resistance to those changes. This session introduces a method for discovering why we often know exactly what to do differently, but for whatever reason fail to do so. This is the face of really knowing, believing and wanting to change! In the session we explore the theoretical underpinnings of the Immunity to Change (ITC) method. And throughout the session each participant has the opportunity to build their own ITC map and perhaps discover meaning for a personal change in their lives.
MHA2018 - How Agile connects to the Social Nature of a High-Performance Workp...AgileDenver
"Social networks can make a huge impact on business success. Agile transformations can create threats and resistance even with the best intentions when we do not consider how each message is received. In this talk, we will consider how using the SCARF model (status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness and fairness) can guide leaders in their message and create more safety and high performance in the workplace.
Agile has claimed high performing teams is critical and we have debates over how to measure high performance but we need to turn our focus from numbers to the social aspects of the workplace? Everyone experiences change in different ways but there are instinctual responses that should be understood and considered so that we create an inviting and positive reaction to the changes we are asking people to make.
By understanding how the brain responds to events, you can more effectively remove common barriers managers and their teams face each day. We will talk through how social qualities impact relationships and decisions, how the brain works and how you can relate these to our core agile principles and experience more successful transformations."

MHA2018 - Introduction to Observational Coaching - Daniel LynnAgileDenver
"Starting out as a new agile coach is difficult. Where do you go? How do you start? Learn to leverage a coaching approach that focuses on observations and, from them, insights and goals. Through this, coaches will be able to better target their efforts and create demonstrable improvement in teams.
In this workshop, we provide scenarios drawn from real-life experience with teams and organizations. After an introduction to good observation techniques, groups will be asked to collect observations from various scenarios.
Groups will then collaborate with others and draw insights from common behaviors and trends. From this, we will leverage the Coaching Card technique to plan possible coaching paths forward and identify ways that progress could be validated and demonstrated in practice.
Attendees will leave this session with a structured approach to guide their ongoing coaching efforts and share those experiences with others in the organization."

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
