Overselling Agile Certifications and Frameworks : Presented by Sridharan VembuoGuild .
Agile is only for smaller projects and/or startup organisations - Not Anymore. Taking my own and my organisation's experience, Agile is a proven methodology that is well suited for delivering complex, distributed, multi-year enterprise programs, for many years now.
While this is really a great thing for agile enthusiasts and practitioners, it’s a bit of worrying sign for me the increased recognition and popularity the ‘Agile Certifications’ and ‘Agile Frameworks’ are receiving among individuals and organisations who would like to adopt Agile to stay relevant in current world.
Dealing with Shifting Priorities using Lean/Kanban Flow, WIP Limits and Capac...AgileSparks
Many teams suffer from due to conflicting priorities. When today's priority one usurps yesterday's priority one, expensive context switching becomes a problem.
Operations teams are especially hard hit by shifting priorities because of increased variability from supporting ongoing development of new projects while maintaining features & apps in production. Add in unplanned work and security issues and we have a battle between getting new features delivered or keeping production stable. Hence the dilemma DevOps is working to solve.
Dominica will talk about how Dev and Ops teams can use use a Lean flow Kanban approach to limit work-in-progress and allocate capacity for the nature of the demand as a way to address and improve prioritization issues and context switching.

Agile tour stuttgart 2013: Scrum and agility - Enjoy the journeyGunther Verheyen
Stuttgart, October 16 2013. 100 enthusiast people gathered to listen to presentations and share ideas on Agile.
I gave a closing note about Scrum, and how to look beyond Scrum and software development, to Enterprise Agility.
Core message said that both are about a journey, more than about a goal.
Two stories of self-designing feature teams and learnings from that experience. The autonomy of teams to form and re-form themselves to build teams, that manage themselves to deliver value to customers frequently can be a real boost of motivation and performance.
Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS) is scaling framework created by Craig Larman and Bas Vodde. I Presented a case study on LeSS to PlayScrum-Pune user group on 7th Nov.

About Agile & PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) OverviewAleem Khan
A properly implemented Agile method increases the speed of development, aligns individual and organization objectives, creates a culture driven by performance, supports shareholder value creation, achieves stable and consistent communication of performance at all levels, and enhances individual development and quality of life.
Agile has become mainstream in the IT industry, since that the multiplication of Agile practices which makes Agile implementation complex and uncertain, we have started to see failure in Agile implementations.
During this presentation we will start a simplification process by going back to the source of Agile, understand what Agile is and what it is not. We will discover what is the Heart of Agile, its essence, and how it embraces management
Building Quality In in SAFe – The Testing Organization’s Perspective Yuval Yeret
SAFe emphasizes Building Quality In. We will take a deep dive into how this looks from a testing organization’s perspective and what does a SAFe implementation mean for Testing/QA professionals. We will map SAFe’s approach to best practices in the “”Agile Testing”” world. We will look at examples from the real world of how traditional testing organizations shift left and evolve towards continuous testing.
Learning Objectives and Key Takeaways:
Understand how best practices from the “”Agile Testing”” world map to SAFe’s context
Learn ideas and patterns for evolving Testing/QA’s role during a SAFe implementation
Understand how Test-Driven looks like and how techniques like Acceptance-Test-Driven-Design/Behavior-Driven

Interested in finding out how to scale agile faster, easier and smarter using the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe)? If so, make sure you watch this two-part webinar series!
Scrum, XP, Kanban and related methods have been proven to provide step changes in productivity and quality for software teams. However, these methods do not have the native constructs necessary to scale across the enterprise. What the industry desperately needs is a solution that moves from a set of simplistic, disparate, development-centric methods, to a scalable, unified approach that addresses the complex constructs and additional stakeholders in the organization – and accelerates the realization of enterprise-class product or service initiatives via aligned and cooperative solution development.
Part I: Join Dean Leffingwell, software industry veteran and Lean Systems Society Fellow, for an overview of SAFe, a publicly–accessible knowledge base of proven lean and agile practices for enterprise-class software development.
Dean Leffingwell, software industry veteran and Lean Systems Society Fellow, has spent his career helping software teams achieve their goals. A renowned methodologist, author, coach, entrepreneur and executive, Dean's most recent project is the Scaled Agile Framework (scaledagileframework.com), a public-facing website which describes a comprehensive system for scaling lean and agile practices to the largest software enterprises.
Andy Powell is Product Evangelist for VersionOne and Scaled Agile Framework Program Consultant. During his 12-year career in the software development industry, Andy has assisted in numerous 500+ person agile tool rollouts with companies such as Siemens, Adobe, EMC and Sabre, giving him considerable experience in leading major projects. Andy received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame and graduated magna cum laude.

Agile software development is a group of software development methods in which requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing, cross-functional teams. It promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, continuous improvement, and encourages rapid and flexible response to change.
The Agile development model is also a type of Incremental model. Software is developed in incremental, rapid cycles. This results in small incremental releases with each release building on previous functionality. Each release is thoroughly tested to ensure software quality is maintained. It is used for time critical applications.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

4. Feature Teams – 10 guidelines and tips to make it happen right
For those who have already been convinced about the need for their organization to migrate to
feature teams. Here are some practical considerations and tips to help make the transition
effective and successful.
1. Define the domain – Define the orientation of the team: specific line of business, specific
product, specific strategic goals to achieve, or a squad team that can achieve anything.
2. Maximize autonomy - Align the team structure, processes, tools and environments with
the teams’ goals so as to enable them achieve maximum results autonomously.
3. With empowerment comes ownership – Team should be responsible for end to end
success or failure and have continuous improvement cycles to make the team perform
better.
4. Invest in the technical landscape – Assign tech owners to each component, subsystem
or knowledge domain. 5%-20% of their time will be allocated to the well being of the
component (scale, stability, architecture, coding standards etc), enabling efficient and
scalable development (test and deployment automation, etc) and knowledge transfer.
5. Remember the matrix – Although we push for autonomy of the team, we need a matrix of
collaboration that crosses teams’ boundaries: PMs, Team leaders, Experts, QA etc.
Establish forums and platforms for knowledge sharing AND relevant decision making.
6. Think architecture – Architects should be involved in major development efforts. Make
sure they have free communication channels to PMs. Architects should enable, educate,
review and promote system well being.
7. Delivery automation included – Each team needs to deliver. Delivery automation
should be part of the team skills, supported if needed by external specific team (e.g. QA
automation, deployment automation)
8. System support and stability - Based on the system maturity and size choose one of the
two models for handling system support cases: All support cases to be handled in one
specific team, or through rotation between teams. The more mature and larger the system
– rotate it.
9. Dev-Ops collaboration culture – Feature teams boost the power of each team to make
decisions. These might affect system stability. Be aware of this. Establish open
communication and improvements cycles between dev and ops. Educate for collaboration.
10. Transition to feature teams - Execute as a step function. Make all the right preparations,
execute, and be prepared for a few months stabilization period with lower efficiency.
Mind: Treat transitioning to feature teams on one hand with great determination but keep
reflecting and adapting to your own needs.
6. tips for ATDD implementation–QA Transition to Agile testing
Tips for QA team transition to ATDD:
Promote the new tester role.
o From bug hunter to “Represent the PO within the team”
o QA and developers understand Agile approach for testing (whole team
approach, ATDD, automation pyramid)
Train early the entire team (also development) on ATDD and how to write good BDD
o Understanding the framework (Text<->code) is a must!
It is not so difficult to learn to write code automation
o One week Java training is enough to start
o But, Automation champion to support the QA team and ensure
test infrastructure is a must !
o Need more focus on software engineering and refactoring (for the automation
code)
o Ensure Scrum team support shared ownership concept accepted by the team
Read the Cucumber book ! be part of the community !
Tips for choosing ATDD tool
Expressing expectations in a language and format that allow collaboration among the
whole team (PO/Dev/QA)
Required minimum of test code (allow re-use, auto-completion)
Test code written in the team “native” language (so developers can also develop and
support the QA)
Play nicely with source control systems and continuous integration
Pluggable to support a variety of interfaces (e.g. UI automation)
Can become a product spec. (documentation tool)
Active community
Tips for BDD development process
Describe ALL expected business behavior with BDD , decide later what will be tested in
which level (UI, Manual, AT)
Write Acceptance test (feature file) for MMF, Write user stories DoD as scenarios within
the MMF feature file
Ensure BDD is readable, written in business language (not implementation) , as possible
use tables for the data description
Integrate ATDD into the release process
o PO writes User Story description in the backlog management tool (it is rare to
find PO that willing to describe it in BDD format )
o QA translate it to BDD (after team sniffing, before iteration planning)
o PO review the BDD with QA (and if possible with development representative
from the team)
o BDD is a condition for “Ready Story”, might be a step in the release Kanban flow
Team commit to the BDD!!! Not to the user story description.
When team start working on the story:
o Developer and QA review together the BDD and agree: What to test, by whom
and how to automate it (unit/acceptance)
o Developer develop first the “API contract” (so automation can run and fail),
QA develops the automation (code review with developer)
7. 5 Tips on how to implement electronic project
management tool
Begin with physical task board
Encourage: team work, commitment and trust through transparency,
visualization and activeness
Make the board the team’s tool in the daily routine – use it to facilitate
discussions and meetings such as dailies, planning and retrospectives
Only when the team shows active use….
Start using the electronic tool in the team
Use big screens for visualizing the task board
Facilitate the daily meetings
Team member ownership on items on the board – they createupdate the
items
Continue using sticky notes to facilitate discussionsdecision making
In order to be fully present in the meeting and focus on having an effective
meeting input the results of the meeting after the meeting to the tool (not
the manager)

The 10 commandments for the facilitator
1. Do you have strong opinions on the meeting subject / agenda / conflict / interest?
Maybe you should ask someone else to help you by participating in the meeting to
representing this opinion so that you can remain neutral…
2. Prepare… who is attending? Who really needs to be? Who shouldn’t be?
3. Is the team willing to accept a new way of work? Are they prepared to take it from you?
Today?
4. Are the meeting participants, boundaries, constraints clear? Make sure time limits,
space, time-of-day, etc…
5. Oh – are all the participants coming? Are they ready? Did they prepare last meeting's
action items?
6. Meeting goals and agenda, are they
clear to everybody? Including you?
State them to agree and start the
meeting. Is anybody taking notes?
7. Is there enough time? Do less, but
close issues…
8. Is everybody with you during the
discussion? Are you helping people
understand each other? Are all the
voices heard? Is anyone too
dominant?
9. Accumulate action items. State them clearly when they show up, and make sure they
are visible. Action item – what, who, by when…
10.Decisions? Is the team committing, or is just the manager making decisions? Who will
really carry out the action items?
