Slides shows the actual status of implementation, goals reached and next challenges.
We are following an evolutionary approach where the change is done step-by-step together with all departments.
Talk by Joakim Sundén and Anders Ivarsson about agile and scaling agile at Spotify. These particular slides are from a Kanban Open Space event in Ghent, Belgium, February 2013.
Scalability is currently a big topic in the agile world. Most agile methods and practices often reach their limits when one wants to “agilize" more than a few teams, let alone one wants to achieve real agile collaboration of several hundert people.
The main problem is that many agile methods focus on the team. Kanban follows a completely different path - Kanban is not a team method! Kanban is a management method which focuses on generating value. "Manage work and not workers" is one of the key messages of the Lean Kanban management philosophy. Therefore, scalability is not a real topic within Kanban: if you focus on value generation of work, scaling Kanban simple means doing more Kanban - it’s inherent scalable.
In this session I show how one could use Kanban at scale. Besides the general schematic explanation I will also show a case study where Kanban is used to coordinate work of more than 200 people.
Essential SAFe® 4.0 is a subset of big picture SAFe 4.0 framework. It is good starting point for self-learners. This slideshow cover essential aspects of SAFe framework.

Teresa Torres - An introduction to modern product discovery - Productized16Productized
The world of product management is changing quickly. In the past five years alone, we’ve seen the rise of The Lean Startup, design thinking, the Jobs-to-be-done framework, design sprints, OKRs, and much more. It can be hard for product teams to keep up. In this talk, you’ll learn a simple framework for how to make sense of all of these trends. You’ll learn how to mix and match methods in a way that leads to a coherent strategy that leads to better products.
Teresa is a product coach helping teams adopt user-centered, hypothesis-driven product development practices, and is the creator of Product Talk. She works with companies of all sizes on integrating user research, experimentation, and the right analytics into the product development process resulting in better product decisions.
Validating Delivered Business Value – Going Beyond “Actual Business Value”Yuval Yeret
Actual is a relative term when it comes to business value delivered by a SAFe PI Objective. In this talk we will explore techniques for validating the actual value delivered by SAFe Teams and ARTs based on real-world outcomes that can be evaluated post-release. RTEs, Product Management and Lean/Agile Leaders will be able to assess their current ability to validate value and learn specific practices they could add to their artifacts and events. Finally, we will take a deeper look at optionality and hypothesis-driven thinking in SAFe and challenge the comfort zone on how to properly use some of SAFe’s essential elements in this context.
Learning Objectives:
Assess their competency level of their ART/Program when it comes to ability to validate value
Evolve their Inspect and Adapt events to enable validation value based on real outcomes
Extend their Program and Portfolio Kanbans to help manage the flow of learning and validation.

Agile Toronto 2016: What do you mean when you say "leadership"?Jason Yip
The word leadership can trick us into believing that we are talking about the same thing when are actually not. This presentation explores different leadership accountabilities and how they might manifest in different roles. I also describe different patterns of how this might play out using a couple specific examples from ThoughtWorks and Spotify.
Recent research shows that companies engaging in quarterly goal-setting processes are almost four times more likely to be at the top of their industry compared with those utilizing an annual planning cycle. Find out how these high-performing organizations build strategic-thinking frameworks and incorporate regular goal-setting, giving them the flexibility to adjust their plans as circumstances change or new information arises. Go beyond the yearly plan and see how to think more strategically within the rhythm of your day-to-day responsibilities. Leave with a set of practical steps you can take to help your organization accomplish its goals.

Scaling & Aligning Mobile Product Management / ProductTank Lisbon February 2016Arne Kittler
"In my presentation I will share my personal learnings with two aspects of Product Management at XING:
Mainly I will talk about our approach to scaling mobile product management. Like many other digital companies started before 2010, XING’s approach to product management was strongly web-oriented and mobile had been treated as a by-product handled by a small silo of specialists. What we aim for today is a full-stack product thinking in which a product team not just owns the domain specific business logic and the web representation of their product, but also all other touchpoints and in particular mobile.
As a result we now build our native core apps as a distributed and collaborative effort of several teams. I will share my learnings from managing the change process of „unleashing mobile“ across XING and what it means for the product managers involved.
As a second topic I will dive deeper into one question which is closely connected to this distributed, collaborative approach: How to create the necessary alignment between autonomous teams?
I will present a framework for alignment which we call „Auftragsklärung“ (rough translation: „assignment clarification“ – I will explain why I prefer the German terminology). Auftragsklärung has helped to add a lot of clarity to the way we manage products and also be applied in other contexts such as start-ups or agency work."

Most companies intuitively know the importance of having a clear strategy to drive the success of their businesses, but when it comes to actually developing those strategies at a product line level and turning them into actionable plans, companies sometimes fall short.
At the core of this issue is the basic question: "What exactly is a strategy?"
Often times, companies will confuse strategy with actions, making it impossible to establish the clear and critical linkage between the two. Strategy provides the context for effective action plans, and it is essential that companies and, in particular, product managers, understand the relationship between the two.
In this webinar, we will explore the all-important topic of what a good strategy looks like and, more importantly, how we can turn this strategy into a best-in-class action plan that will serve to bind cross-functional teams together and enable companies to achieve measurable successes for their products and services in the marketplace.

Agile Traps: Common practices that wreck teams (Lesbians Who Tech 2020)Elizabeth Ayer
One of the biggest pitfalls that Agile teams in tech fall into is homogeneity, and the structures themselves are partly to blame. Many teams struggle to find, include, and retain people from different backgrounds. This is not only bad for society but also bad for business. Using case studies of government technology teams, this talk looks at the practical challenges and opportunities of broadening the perspectives represented on your team. We'll put some standard Scrum facilitation techniques under the inclusivity lens and demonstrate tools for analyzing your own practices. Get past the excuses and take practical next steps, exploring healthy and unhealthy ways to approach diversity, equity and inclusion.

Agile India 2021: Experimenting with BAPO in Spotify Ads R&DJason Yip
BAPO stands for Business Architecture Process Organisation. It is Jan Bosch's more fleshed out expression of "structure should follow strategy". I recently experimented with applying this framework within Spotify Ads R&D and would like to share what worked and what didn't. Concepts expanded beyond BAPO to include product capabilities versus architecture services; overlapping product lifecycle s-curves; Simon Wardley's Pioneers, Settlers, Town Planners; and a reframing of the teaching people how to fish metaphor. Beyond sharing my successes and failures, this session will also encourage attendees to sketch how they might try this framework in their own context and anticipate what issues may appear.

Agile is mainstream enough that the demand for Agile consultants and coaches is high. High demand attracts many people who lack relevant practical experience or only know how to practice, but don't know how to consult or coach. Organizations need effective ways to filter good candidates from bad. On the other side, candidates want to know what it takes to be considered good. I will share several patterns of selection approaches based on my experiences at Spotify and ThoughtWorks.

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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
