This presentation highlights my Scrum Master experience. Quite often, companies and teams seeking Scrum Master support misinterpret being an Agile Coach as someone that is unfamiliar with performing the hands-on duties of a Scrum Master.
Whether I am supporting a single team in the role of Scrum Master, or assisting an entire Enterprise, the desired outcome remains the same--help teams achieve higher levels of performance through Agile/Lean thinking, processes, and practices.
Prove Your Transformation ROI with Value Stream ManagementTasktop
2020 elevated IT into the spotlight, opening up a window of unprecedented support for accelerating digital innovation and emerging technologies. But even with increased buy-in for investment and adoption, will anything be different this year?
Without the ability to measure and place value on specific transformation initiatives, many organizations are still shooting in the dark, either working on new features without aligning to business strategy, or putting them on the back-burner to concentrate on things that are easier to cross off a list.
In this on-demand webinar, Tasktop Sr. Flow Advisor, Paninya Masrangsan, provides actionable insights on how to prove your transformation ROI with value stream management.
Matt Williams' presentation will explore methods and techniques for linking the business case, project output delivery and realising business benefits and value from project investments.
A project business case would (should) ordinarily include a comprehensive, analytically derived cost/benefit analysis. The basis for approval of a business case is that the capital investment required to deliver the project will be outweighed by the financial and/or non-financial benefits that will be delivered.
There are three major factors that contribute to the expected business value from project investments not being achieved:
1. Value exaggeration - an overly optimistic cost/benefit analysis,
2. Value destruction - delays in project and programme delivery, and
3. Value decay - not transferring the value to the business.
This workshop will explore methods and techniques for linking the business case with project output delivery to realise business benefits and value from project investments.
Presenting this set of slides with name - Project Management PowerPoint Presentation Slides. This PPT deck displays sixty nine slides with in depth research. Our topic oriented Project Management Powerpoint Presentation Slides presentation deck is a helpful tool to plan, prepare, document and analyse the topic with a clear approach. We provide a ready to use deck with all sorts of relevant topics subtopics templates, charts and graphs, overviews, analysis templates. Outline all the important aspects without any hassle.

Making Work Product-Centric: A Journey at Nationwide Insurance | Tasktop Conn...Tasktop
Over the last 18 months, Enterprise Digital at Nationwide Insurance experimented with an end to end agile approach to better integrate IT delivery and business activities in the commercial and mobile spaces. Customers are demanding products quicker, and we as a company must find ways to compress the timeline required to deliver the features customers seek to remain competitive. At the end of the second phase of this transition, which comprised just one team, we found a 64% decrease in lead time from discovery to analysis and a 20% decrease in lead time from analysis to implementation. This end to end model stressed co-location of business and IT and working together as one cross-functional team to continuously plan, integrate, and deliver value to our customers. We made the value stream work visible from idea to implementation and organized it in product-centric value streams with the goal of standardizing customer experiences regardless of whether the customer is interacting with our company via web or mobile. This standardization allowed for maximum reusability of requirements, code, and automation, and decreased variances with and the frequency of estimating. In the end to end model, poly-skilling was stressed across both roles and technologies so that all team members had the flexibility to pick up and work on any card at any point in the flow. This, coupled with the team’s use of the tools necessary to implement dev ops capabilities, allowed us to be more responsive to the customer.

What HR Can Learn From American Idol to Improve Individual, Team, and Organi...rcsatterwhite
The popularity of American Idol rests on its ability to integrate and simplify six basic elements of a successful performance appraisal process: standards, auditions, critiques, developmental suggestions, advisors, and advertisements – which, in HR terms, are criteria, performance, ratings, feedback, mentors, and communication (respectively). This virtual session will focus on how to leverage the performance appraisal elements embodied by this smash hit to drive performance at individual, team, and organizational levels, including: 1) various criteria used to evaluate performance; 2) the importance of opportunities to display and observe performance; 3) how ratings can be used to propel performance; 4) linking evaluations to feedback and action planning; 5) the relationship between mentoring and performance; and 6) the significance of communication to program success.
Physical Percent Complete is a primary measure of progress to plan for all project work. For Agile projects, this is a critical success factor. Here's how

Flow Metrics: What They Are & Why You Need ThemTasktop
When it comes to assessing an IT transformation (such as Agile and DevOps), performance metrics have come under intense scrutiny. Traditional performance metrics, such as counting the number of lines of code and the number of software bugs should be used with caution, because there are bugs that are not worth fixing and code that is not worth maintaining. These old-school performance metrics represent activities, not outcomes. To visualize and optimize the business value of your software delivery, you need to find a way to measure business outcomes. To do that, we need flow metrics.
During this on-demand webinar, Dominica DeGrandis presents five key flow metrics that reveal trends on desirable business outcomes – such as faster time-to-market, responsiveness to customers, and predictable release timeframes – and explains how to implement them at your organization to measure and improve the impact and value of software products on your business.

The projects are managed as if they were merely complicated ‒ when in fact, they were complex.They are planned as if everything is known or knowable at the start ‒ when in fact, they involve high levels of reducible (Epistemic) and irreducible (Aleatory) uncertainty and resulting risk.Combining Systems Engineering and Project Management is a critical success factor in reducing these uncertainties, resulting in increased probability of program success.

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.

17. A (virtual) item is added to the shopping cart.
At checkout, the item is transformed into a line item on an order, a
charge to the credit card merchant, and a receipt.
The order is sent to Fulfillment, which generates a tracking number,
selects an actual item for shipping, and prints a packing slip and a
shipping label.
Shipping (e.g., the post office) sends the actual item to your door.
18. Questions for you to consider:
• Can you describe how a user will interact with the system to generate the
report?
• In 15 minutes or less, do you believe you can illustrate this workflow as an
activity diagram?
• From the activity diagram, what opportunities do you view to form user
stories?
• In a distributed conversation about a user interaction will the use of an
activity diagram benefit the Team, and how?

20. What is the Performance Measure?
What Calculation is Used to Generate the
Performance Metric?
By Examining this Performance Indicator, What
Does it Tell Us?
Story Points Completed # of Story Points Accepted by the Product Owner
(for Sprint)
How much work has been successfully delivered
by the Team at the end of every Sprint; this
metric also drives velocity-focused performance
indicators, in addition to AgileEVMcalculations.
Story Points Completed vs. Story Points
Planned
# of StoryPoints Accepted / # of Story Points
Planned (for Sprint)
The variance between the amount of stories
forecasted at Spring Planning and the amount of
stories delivered at the end of the Sprint (note:
not delivering all stories does not necessariy
mean the Sprint Goal was not achieved)
Sprint Goal Achieved Yes or No response by Product Owner to the
question "Did the Team fulfill the Sprint Goal?"
Identifies if the Sprint Goal was achieved
regardless if there was an increase or reduction in
the number of Product Backlog Items delivered
for the Sprint
Story Points Added # of Story Points Added to/Subtracted from the
Product Backlog between the start and end dates
of the Closing Sprint
The increase/decrease in scope to the Product
Backlog, which may result in a change to the
ordered delivery of Product Backlog Items
Cost Per Sprint ((labor rate x actual number of hours for Sprint) +
Other Sprint Costs)
The actual cost of each Sprint
Average Velocity Total Points Completed / # of Sprints Completed The average amount of work, in size and
complexity, that the Team is completing per
Sprint, which is helpful in preparing Release
Planning Forecast.
Story Cycle Time The # of Sprints it takes to complete a story (have
accepted by Product Owner)
How efficiently the Team is producing the

current Release has been delivered in respect to
the total amount remaining
21. • How much work remains in the Sprint?
• How soon might a user story be ready for Product Owner acceptance?
• Has the Team pulled too little and/or too much work into the Sprint?
• Are Team Members exceeding their capacity for the Sprint?
How to Interpret
When burning down hours, the focus is on the Demand of Sprint Work vs. the Remaining
Capacity of the Team. Although work can be burning down (completing) during the Sprint,
stories and defects may still be at risk of not being done.
Team Members and others viewing the Sprint Burn Down should examine
User Story Statuses and Story Points Completed to obtain an accurate
understanding of the Sprint’s health.
