How to Optimize Your Software Development Process for Maximum Efficiency.pdfIT Service India
Efficiency in software development is not a one-time achievement; it's an ongoing commitment to refining your processes. By implementing clear requirements, agile practices, automation, and a focus on code quality, you can optimize your development process for maximum efficiency. Embrace a culture of continuous improvement, and your team will be better equipped to deliver high-quality software products faster than ever before.
Fadi Stephan presented on Agile metrics at the 2022 Global Scrum
Gathering
Abstract:
There are more to Agile metrics than velocity and burn-down charts. However, most Agile teams just focus on velocity and target story points which leads to managers misusing the metric and teams gaming the system. Velocity should stay within the team and there are other metrics that can be shared with others that are outside the team. These metrics provide a more holistic view of the project’s overall health. The Agile Dashboard collects such metrics and acts as an information radiator giving us real time project updates on value, performance, schedule, scope, cost, quality, and team spirit.
Come learn what to measure and for how long. Learn how to read warning signs and what corrective actions to take. Learn to setup your own Agile dashboard to arm yourself with the right information and make careful and constant adjustments to ensure forward and safe progress towards your final deliverable.
Nowadays, all organization works on the principle of Agile methodology, there might be many people like me who don't even know the meaning of Agile and Scrum Master.

Accelerating Business Growth with Agile Software Delivery.pdfSeasia Infotech
The customary approaches for software development have divided development and testing into two diverse steps- developers build a feature and the QA team tests it for defects.
This presentation gives you an introduction on practices and habits associated with DevOps while sharing personal experience on starting a DevOps journey inside a large project team.
Agile software development methodology is sweeping the IT Industry. Many organizations are experimenting with Agility and there are many “brands” of Agile including Scrum, XP, Lean, Crystal Clear and DSDM. Adoption of one of these methodologies could be wholesale in the case of a small well defined project that has no dependencies on other projects and can be completely delivered by a trained and motivated team. As these types of adoptions are rare organizations are looking for ways to ease into Agile practices without losing productivity.
This session is designed to discuss and identify ways that agile enablers can facilitate the transition to Agile practices. Participants learn basic Agile practices as well as techniques for introducing them to the software delivery team. This session will present common software delivery problems and the Agile path to solutions.

Learning To Fly - Purpose Driven TeamsMatt Badgley
This is a slide presentation from a talk about applying Purpose to help increase engagement, connectedness, and hopefully helps software teams be better.
Learning to Fly - Finding the Keys to Engagement - Agile & Beyond 2016Matt Badgley
We are in the midst of a purpose drive revolution that is changing the way we do business, the way we work, and the way teams get stuff done. Now it is time, we make sure that everyone understands why.
A look at different case studies where agile practices and principles (of course meaning lean) have been adopted and proliferated to help teams deliver value regularly, and have fun doing it.
Attempting to Jump the Largest Agile HurdleMatt Badgley
Agile Culture can be a tough thing -- this presentation was my attempt to have a discussion on how organizations can address the challenges around adopting an agile mindset; which would hopefully lead to successful agile software development.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Simplicity--the art of maximizing the
amount of work not done--is essential.
Our highest priority is to satisfy the
customer through early and continuous
delivery of valuable software.
Welcome changing requirements, even
late in development. Agile processes
harness change for the customer's
competitive advantage.
Deliver working software
frequently, from a couple of
weeks to a couple of months,
with a preference to the
shorter timescale.
Business people and developers
must work together daily
throughout the project. Build projects around
motivated individuals. Give
them the environment and
support they need, and
trust them to get the job
done.
The most efficient and
effective method of
conveying information to
and within a development
team is face-to-face
conversation.
Working software is the primary
measure of progress.
Agile processes promote sustainable
development. The sponsors,
developers, and users should be able
to maintain a constant pace
indefinitely.
Continuous attention to
technical excellence and
good design enhances
agility.
The best architectures, requirements,
and designs emerge from self-
organizing teams.
At regular intervals, the
team reflects on how to
become more effective,
then tunes and adjusts its
behavior accordingly.

Simplicity--the art of maximizing
the amount of work not done--is
essential.
Our highest priority is to satisfy the
customer through early and
continuous delivery of valuable
software.
Welcome changing requirements,
even late in development. Agile
processes harness change for the
customer's competitive advantage.
Deliver working software
frequently, from a couple of
weeks to a couple of months,
with a preference to the
shorter timescale.
Business people and
developers must work
together daily throughout
the project.
Build projects around motivated individuals.
Give them the environment and support they
need, and trust them to get the job done.
The most efficient and
effective method of
conveying information
to and within a
development team is
face-to-face
conversation.
Working software is the primary measure of
progress.
Agile processes promote sustainable development. The
sponsors, developers, and users should be able to
maintain a constant pace indefinitely.
Continuous attention to technical excellence
and good design enhances agility.
The best architectures,
requirements, and designs
emerge from self-organizing
teams.
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective,
then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.

How does Deliberate Practice help
us #suckless at all this stuff?

Deliberate Practice to #suckless
• Working in small groups (1..4), pick one person’s ”struggle”
that everyone can relate to and is closer to root cause.
• Using that “struggle” as an Area to Improve, complete as
much of the Practice Canvas as possible.
• Start with brainstorming Skills and Practice/Games/Activities
• Time permitting, start another …

When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I
dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older, and wiser, I discovered
the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and
decided to change only my country.
But it, too, seemed immovable.
As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled
for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would
have none of it.
And now, as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I had only
changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family.
From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able
to better my country, and who knows, I may have even changed the
world.

I believe in working with teams to help them get better, learn, and be
successful in building stuff while having fun.
