The document discusses the pitfalls of multitasking and taking on too many tasks. It notes that having too many tasks on one's workload can cause a loss of focus, create a form of procrastination, and result in lower quality work. It also cautions about distractions from technology if tools are not used properly, and advises considering the importance, costs and risks of new tasks. The document concludes by identifying potential time wasters like agreeing to every request and losing priorities, and notes that working under pressure does not actually increase productivity but can decrease quality and lead to addiction to adrenaline.

Deliver More, Stress Less with Kanban
Talk given at Confoo16: Too many teams are working themselves to the bone day after day with no relief in sight. Too often, this unsustainable pace becomes permanent and work continues to pile on top of everything that's already in progress. Julia will share how Kanban helped teams at TBS and F5 Networks deliver more, reduce stress and tame the craziness of the new normal. Learn concepts you can adapt and apply to your context to make the everyday better!
Get Faster - While You're Getting Better
The document discusses strategies for software product development that balance speed and quality, including:
1) Focusing on getting a minimum viable product to market quickly through short iterative development cycles rather than extensive planning.
2) Establishing processes like continuous integration, source control, and automated testing to catch defects early and allow fast iteration.
3) Hiring selectively and spreading ownership of the product across a small team to allow flexibility over bureaucracy.

Software Process... the good parts
This document summarizes Andrew Clay Shafer's talk on software processes. It discusses that Agile processes like Scrum have been oversimplified and lost their original spirit. It promotes focusing on frequent delivery, automated testing, minimizing work in progress, prioritizing quality, and inspecting and adapting processes based on outcomes. Context is important in choosing a process, and processes should promote building software to fulfill a vision rather than just completing tasks. Measuring outcomes and having conversations around user stories are also discussed.

Learnings from great statups Antti Kosunen
The document provides best practices for startups based on lessons learned from failures, including validating ideas with customers, building minimum viable products, and being prepared to pivot if needed. It emphasizes iterating quickly through a build-measure-learn process and getting customer feedback to determine if the problem is worth solving and the solution has value and scalability before expanding. Key recommendations are to validate understanding of the problem, solution, and value with customers through repeated testing.
Results Only Work Environment - Keynote
Cali Ressler & Jody Thompson gave a keynote about Results Only Work Environment in September 2012 at Achievers Conference.
Overwhelmed2
The manager has been overwhelmed and overworked in their new role for two years. The document provides advice on how to address an unsustainable workload. It recommends the manager evaluate their planning processes and communication with stakeholders to set clear expectations. Specific tips include prioritizing tasks, questioning unnecessary meetings, and pushing back on demands to avoid constant overwork. The manager is told it is ultimately their responsibility to communicate when they are overloaded.
Configuration Management Isn't Everything
This document discusses configuration management (CM) projects and what leads to their success and failure. It notes that while CM is important, revolutionizing IT requires more than just CM. Successful CM projects have realistic expectations, dedicate resources to own the CM process, conduct candid assessments of current processes, make incremental changes, and plan in advance. They focus on people, process, and products rather than just tools. Unsuccessful projects have unrealistic expectations, rely too much on consultants, take a big bang approach, and lack advance planning. The key is to focus on CM as a long-term investment that improves team collaboration and experimentation.
What Makes a Great Engineering Culture?
One of my favorite interview questions that I ask engineering candidates is to tell me about one thing they liked and one thing they disliked about the engineering culture at their previous company. I’ve interviewed over 500 people – many of them from top tech companies like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Palantir, and Dropbox – and over time, this interview question has given me a sense of what good engineers look for and what they’re trying to avoid. Reflecting back on the interview responses and on my own experiences from the past seven years working across Google, Ooyala, and Quora, I’ve distilled ten things that a team can do to build a good engineering culture.

Project oz - using Jira to manage a move from the UK to Australia
Project Oz was Matthew Cobby's effort to track the many tasks involved in moving his family from London to Melbourne, Australia using Jira. Key tasks included finding a new home, resigning from his job, planning holidays, shutting down their life in London, becoming landlords, and shipping their belongings. While initially trying sprints and Kanban boards, versions focused on fixed events worked better given the unpredictability. The full agile approach proved too heavyweight, but standups were still useful. Ultimately, Jira provided more functionality than needed, and a simpler collaborative task tracker may have sufficed, but Matthew is a "Jira nerd." He continues exploring using Jira for personal projects like family outings.

Importance of test automation, excuses and TDD introduction
This document discusses test-driven development (TDD) and its benefits. It notes that research has found that TDD teams produce code with 60-90% fewer defects and take 15-35% longer to complete projects. Examples are given showing TDD teams needing fewer iterations to pass tests. The conclusion is that TDD results in less bugs, better code/design, test coverage of 100%, confidence, documentation, and decreased debug time, though tests can only find bugs, not guarantee their absence. Prevention of bugs is emphasized as better than later fixes.

7. fmp evaluation
Carter Smith evaluated their production process for an FMP project. Their research strengths included thorough research, but weaknesses included using some unreliable sources like Wikipedia. Planning strengths were a step-by-step process creating a unique design, but time limits affected detailed edits. Time management was efficient to meet deadlines, but more work could have been done earlier and with more detail given more time. The target audience was teenagers and young children based on the game's basicness and visuals. Peer feedback noted likes and improvements, which Carter agreed and disagreed with.

It then provides suggestions for addressing dysfunction, including setting clear goals, improving communication, increasing self-awareness, providing proper training, and gaining executive support. The document also advocates doing an organizational assessment, starting with a pilot project, and reassessing progress regularly to help transform an organization's processes and culture.
