Agile implementation in CSR Haifa SW - Michael Levin - Agile Israel 2013AgileSparks
CSR Haifa SW group is a part of global SW organization developing SW for CSR COACH (Camera on a Chip) SoC.
The main problem we faced is a degraded SW releases quality and as a result, low customer satisfaction, big amount of bugs, etc..
From other side, SW QA team is not part of our group and we cannot utilize this resource for our purposes.
You will hear about our approach to SW quality improvement through Agile implementation.
Culture is very important in DevOps. It is the first thing in every definition of DevOps, but how can you measure it? Culture is intangible, hard to change, and it is of vital importance to your company and your employee’s satisfaction. Everyone agrees that a culture of trust and collaboration is key to a successful DevOps transformation. Having a culture of collaboration where people feel safe to share their views and work across a diverse group is a must for a successful organization. But how do we measure culture?
In this session we will talk about the culture of DevOps and how the culture enable information flow through organizations. We talk about the Westrum Typology of Organizational Culture and how organizational culture predicts the way information flows through an organization. We’ll talk about how to measure your culture based on the Westrum Typology and steps to move to a generative culture of high trust and high collaboration across the organization.
In the world of agile, there is theory and then there is practice. We like to talk about self-organizing teams, asynchronous execution, BDD, TDD, and emergent architecture. We also talk about cross-functional teams: how analysts, testers, architects, technical writers, and UX designers belong on the same team, right next to programmers. It all sounds nice in theory, but how does this work in reality? What do these people actually do? How do they interact? What does it look like? Is there really a pragmatic way to make this work?
In this simulation, a cross-functional team will actually build a piece of software. Every specialist will have a hand in the process. Every specialist will also act as a generalist. Everyone will add value. And as a team, we’ll get something DONE.
This is your opportunity to see agile development in practice, and to bridge the gap between what agilists say and what teams do. And it’s not as new or as difficult as you think – affinity between testers, BA’s, coders, and other team members has really been at the root of effective development practices all along. Let’s just finally acknowledge that it works, demonstrate its capabilities, and encourage it going forward.
This IS agile development.
Technical Excellence Doesn't Just Happen - AgileIndy 2016Allison Pollard
The ninth principle from the Agile Manifesto states that technical excellence enhances agility, but when the codebase is ugly and the deadlines are tight, most teams don’t choose to refactor mercilessly, adopt TDD, or evaluate automated testing tools—unless they have the proper support. In our experience working with multiple teams in a single codebase, developers can feel victim to a legacy codebase if only a few people are writing clean code or refactoring; guiding them on how to decrease technical debt while delivering their projects helps "unstuck" their other agile practices. We will talk about the challenges we’ve seen with Product Owners, Managers, and Scrum Masters interacting with teams at various stages of agile+technical excellence and how a focus on technical practices sparked a wider interest in craftsmanship. Learn how can you influence the team towards the right practices while fostering their sense of ownership. Getting serious about technical excellence requires support from technical and non-technical roles, and we’ll share how we partnered as coaches to help an organization through a technical turnaround with some tips for others who need to do the same.

We all know, given the right mindset, that Agile approaches are a great way to get results and for people to go home feeling that they have contributed.
But no one really asks why. Why does it work?
This presentation, given at the Agile Business Conference in London in 2013 provides a collection of Agile-independant thoughts and ideas to make people think.
Above all, it provides some take aways to help judge if the team has a solid understanding of purpose and if the team is just well, how can on say, "dysfunctional".
Join agile coaches Bob Galen from RGCG and Michael Cooper from the QASymphony Board of Advisors as they explore key aspects of the 3-Pillars of Agile Quality & Testing framework that Bob and Mary Thorn developed. In this dynamic panel discussion Bob and Michael will tackle what it takes to be a balanced and effective tester in today’s agile world. We’ll talk about tools, techniques, attitudes, and adjustments. There will be no “one size fits all” strategies here, just real-world experience sharing stories about what works and what doesn’t.
Resource Planning is one of the biggest headaches for medium to large organizations. Creating a detailed resource plan that is meaningful is very difficult, and keeping it up to date is almost impossible. Plans that look good are often an attractive fiction, full of unrealistic assumptions, over-allocations, and the spreading of too-few people in too many ways.
Agile Resource Planning provides a very different approach to the classic model. It produces realistic plans that are simple to maintain, and effective for planning work over time. In this webinar, Dr. Kevin Thompson will present new concepts in Agile Resource Planning, which provide a practical and easy-to-use approach to Resource Planning that can be used for Agile and classic environments.
2013 Scrum Gathering Keynote: Buy or build — where did your agile come from?James Coplien
講演概要: デンマークには「アジリティ」という、訓練された犬によって行われるスポーツがある。その訓練と血統に関する研究論文には、アジャイルソフトウェア開発と似通った点がいくつかある。「日々行われる優れた実践行動(プラクティス)は、トレーナーによって行われているというよりも、チームとして行われている」。現在のアジャイル普及への道は、アジャイルの理念(イデオロギー)を習得したことを認定することに重きが置かれていたり、いくつかの理念をより上位の理念の傘の下にまとめただけで、緊急に軌道修正が必要だ。本講演では、(トヨタの)カイゼンに根ざしたアプローチで、スクラムや一般的なプロセス改善について考えていく。そして、アジャイルの認定において事実や知識をベースとした計測方法から、よりアジャイルな認定方法に移行するとはどういうことかを説明する。そして最後に、ゲームを使った内観的かつ実験的な取り組みについて紹介する。そして、認定やテスト重視のアジャイルに対する事実と知識をベースにした学習方法から、ゲームをベースとした内観的かつ試行的な取り組みへの移行についても紹介する。
"Agility" in Danish is a performance sport done by trained dogs. While training and pedigree papers have certainly found a place in agile's software namesake, good agile practice should be more in the hands of the Team than the Trainer. The current agile journey that focuses on certification around some ideology, or on aligning several ideologies under an uber-ideological umbrella, urgently needs a mid-course correction. This keynote renews the vision of a Kaizen-based approach to Scrum in particular and process improvement in general, and a shift in focus from what is a facts-and-knowledge-based approach to agile based on certification and scored surveys to an introspective and experiential approach based on games.
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.
Discover the fundamentals of Agile Quality Engineering. This webinar will explore the intersection of Agile Mindset, various Agile and quality engineering practices. Rather than a presentation of buzz words, the session will attempt to facilitate a inner conversation and equip the participants with the awareness of agility and Innovation Games to face the upcoming challenge of Agile Quality Engineering.
Topics include:
- What is Agile Quality Engineering
- Agile Mindsets and Being Lean
- Agile Quality Engineer's Value Proposition
- Value Driven Quality and Scrum
- Test Automation, Continuous Integration & Continuous Deployment
- Testing Effort "illities"
- TDD, BDD & Exploratory Testing
- Foundation of sustainable Agile Quality Engineering
Scrum and Patterns share a heritage that goes back centuries. The common foundations of the two — local adaptation, incremental growth, focus on "value," and the central human element — make patterns a particularly viable vehicle for rolling out Scrum. These notes give a short definitive summary of patterns (by example) and pattern languages. Next, they introduce basic Scrum patterns that the Scrum PLoP® effort has gathered over the past five years. After that we look at the "Scrum secrets" — Scrum fundamentals that most practitioners either aren't aware of or which usually go unheeded. Patterns help tease out the tradeoffs ("forces") for these forms in a way that makes them memorable. Last, we give a glimpse of how to use these patterns as a powerful way to evolve your own Scrum implementation to excellence.
This presentation attempts to apply the missing science behind being successful with DevOps. Many DevOps practitioners are missing the science of Organizational Behavior and Organizational Development that are critical in the bringing about the desired DevOps change they are seeking

Agile vs Waterfall: May the 4th Be With You in the Great DebateAggregage
In this discussion, PMO Joe will challenge your thinking and perhaps bring you to the conclusion that the debate doesn’t exist. He will discuss the pros and cons of each approach and examine if one is superior to the other.
Web development is hard, very hard – and it’s getting harder. But there is hope, a radically different approach called agile.
If you build websites for a living, you know the pressure. Drupal sites can be complex beasts with thousands of moving parts. Clients have high demands – changing demands. Budgets have never been tighter. If you are going to keep the sites you manage ahead of the competition, you have to innovate – continually. And everything has to be done at the breakneck speed of web time.
The results: the average software project is 45% over budget, delayed by 63% and missing 1/3 of the promised functionality. Failure has become the norm – but there is a better way.
Agile is a radically different processes for improving development efficiency, minimizing risk and enhancing innovation. In the ten short years since the Agile Manifesto was penned it has taken over traditional software and game development. The world’s web leaders such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Twitter and Saleforce.com have embraced agile methodologies. Many top Drupal shops have also made the leap.
Come learn what all the buzz is about.

Agents for Agility - The Just-in-Time Enterprise Has ArrivedInside Analysis
Hot Technologies with Krish Krishnan, Robin Bloor and EnterpriseWeb
Live Webcast Aug. 21, 2013
The demand for agility continues to motivate today's data-driven organizations. Competitors all over the globe are vying for faster time-to-insight, or even time-to-action. But there are other issues like governance and data quality that typically slow down key processes. Almost invariably, legacy systems that perform critical business processes are late to the party, resulting in enterprise inertia. However, a new wave of innovation is solving that problem by incorporating a late-binding approach for both analytics and operations.
Register for this episode of Hot Technologies to hear Analysts Krish Krishnan of Sixth Sense, and Dr. Robin Bloor of The Bloor Group, as they outline their competing visions for the architecture of a real-time enterprise. They'll be briefed by Dave Duggal of EnterpriseWeb, who will tout his company's platform for delivering robust enterprise functionality at the speed of the network. He'll discuss how EnterpriseWeb leverages the best ideas of service orientation, combined with intelligent agents that act as virtual hubs for the sharing of data, analytics, and mission-critical business processes.
Slide deck used to foster discussion with museum colleagues about the current trends, ideas, aspirations and challenges of digital strategy and implementation. Includes a short list of concerns and (exciting or even daunting) future trends. Nothing comprehensive here, just some jumping off points for discussion and debate.
Using DITA-wiki Hybrid Solutions For Better Knowledge SystemsLisa Dyer
Want to reap the benefits of community-based documentation? This game-changing trend is gaining traction fast, but many organizations lack resources to build solutions. The open source DITA2Wiki Project is a free resource to do just that. You can get a proof-of-concept system up and running in an hour. A governing concept is mixing company-generated ("warranted") content with community-generated ("non-warranted") content to provide richer user assistance. And with DITA XML in the mix, you can deliver rich information online, offline, and directly within your apps.

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!

How to Build More Prosocial Teams by Hadassah Mativetsky
1. How to build more prosocial
teamsPresented by Hadassah Mativetsky
Developed with assistance from Prof. David Sloan Wilson
QA or the Highway
February 19, 2019
Ohio State, Columbus OH
2. Abstract
Social skills, interpersonal skills, leadership, and
teamwork are all part of the QBOK. How do we get group
members to be more prosocial (as opposed to anti-
social)? Nobel Prize winner Elinor Ostrom and SUNY
Distinguished Prof. David Sloan Wilson came together to
join the concepts of common pool resources and multi-
level selection to start what is now called “Prosocial”.
Since then many other academics and practitioners have
come on board in its development, particularly
psychologists working in Contextual Behavioral Science.
This talk will overview the theoretical basis for prosocial
and what it is.We will model some of the exercises and
conclude with a discussion of prosocial and business
practices such as Agile.

3. Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of
months, with a preference to the shorter timescale.
4. Business and developers must work together daily throughout the project.
5. Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and
support they need, and trust them to get the job done.
