How To Master Your Mega Backlog

•

0 likes•97 views

It’s common practice to keep a product backlog as small as possible, probably just 10-20 items. This works for single teams with one Product Owner and perhaps a Scrum Master. But what if you have 100 Scrum teams managing a complex system of hardware and software components? What do you need to change to manage at such a massive scale? Join backlog expert Johan Karlsson to learn how to: -Adapt Agile product backlog practices to manage many backlogs. -Enhance collaboration across disciplines. -Leverage backlogs to align teams while giving them flexibility.

• The MEGA product backlog is still just ONE backlog (a backlog of backlogs).
• You need to:
• Define a structure that scales.
• Get a backlog management tool that scales.
• Enhance Product Owner collaboration.
• Systematically approach prioritization and estimation to reduce waste.

Modernising the Enterprise: An Evening with the AWS Enterprise User Group

Harley Young

The French aristocrat, writer, and aviator, Antoine De Saint-Exupery most famously wrote The Little Prince. He's also credited with the following quote, "If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men and women to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea." Cloud modernisation is a little bit like building that ship. You can't merely command an organisation to pick up its applications and move to the cloud. Instead, you must teach them to yearn for the vast and endless potential the cloud provides to build whatever they can imagine for their business. In the presentation, I explain a 5-step approach that has been used to transform and modernise some of the world's most successful businesses in nearly all imaginable industry verticals as they contemplated a move to the AWS cloud: 1. Know your business 2. Understand your environment 3. Prepare the organisation 4. Move the first workloads to the cloud 5. Get help when you need it

Best Practices for Shifting Left Performance and Accessibility Testing

Perfecto by Perforce

Web and mobile test cycles typically leverage automation frameworks like Selenium and Appium that are mostly focused on functional testing with end-to-end scenarios. But what about nonfunctional testing — including performance, accessibility, security, and UX? Unfortunately, nonfunctional testing is either left to the end of the cycle or done only partially. Or, it’s outsourced externally, where it is performed manually due to a lack of time and automation abilities. When nonfunctional testing is overlooked or left until the end of cycle, performance, accessibility, and UX defects can cause brand damage and are more expensive to fix after the fact. Specifically, accessibility defects can also result in expensive complaints or lawsuits. Learn how you can avoid damaging defects. Join our panel webinar led by Perfecto’s VP of Products Tzvika Shahaf and Chief Evangelist and author Eran Kinsbruner, together with Dylan Barrel, CTO at Deque, and Henrik Rexed, Performance Testing Advocate from Neotys, to learn how you can expand your coverage within the build cycle by shifting automated nonfunctional testing left. During the webinar, you will learn: - The key benefits of shifting performance and accessibility testing left. - Best practices and recommendations on how to succeed in shifting such tests into the build process. - How to get started with mobile and web performance and accessibility testing.

How to Organize Game Developers With Different Planning Needs

Perforce

Different skills have different needs when it comes to planning. For a coder it may make perfect sense to plan work in two-week sprints, but for an artist, an asset may take longer than two weeks to complete. How do you allow different skills to plan the way that works best for them? Some studios may choose to open up for flexibility – do whatever you like! But that tends to cause issues with alignment and siloes of data, resulting in loss of vision. Lost vision in the sense that it is difficult to understand, but also — and maybe more importantly — the risk of losing the vision of what the game will be. With the right approach, however, you can avoid these obstacles. Join backlog expert Johan Karlsson to learn: -The balance of team autonomy and alignment. -How to use the product backlog to align the project vision. -How to use tools to support the flexibility you need. Looking for a planning and backlog tool? You can try Hansoft for free.

How do regulations impact your product requirements? How do you ensure that you identify all the needed requirements changes to meet these regulations? Ideally, your regulations should live alongside your product requirements, so you can trace among each related item. Getting to that point can be quite an undertaking, however. Ultimately you want a process that: -Saves money -Ensures quality -Avoids fines If you want help achieving these goals, this webinar is for you. Watch Tom Totenberg, Senior Solutions Engineer for Helix ALM, show you: -How to import a regulation document into Helix ALM. -How to link to requirements. -How to automate impact analysis from regulatory updates.

Understanding Compliant Workflow Enforcement SOPs

Perforce

If it’s not documented, it didn’t happen. When it comes to compliance, if you’re doing the work, you need to prove it. That means having well-documented SOPs (standard operating procedures) in place for all your regulated workflows. It also means logging your efforts to enforce these SOPs. They show that you took appropriate action in any number of scenarios, which can be related to regulations, change requests, firing of an employee, logging an HR compliant, or anything else that needs a structured workflow. But when do you need to do this, and how do you go about it? In this webinar, Tom Totenberg, our Helix ALM senior solutions engineer, clarifies workflow enforcement SOPs, along with a walkthrough of how Perforce manages GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) requests. He’ll cover: -What are SOPs? -Why is it important to have this documentation? -Example: walking through our internal Perforce GDPR process. -What to beware of. -Building the workflow in ALM.

Branching Out: How To Automate Your Development Process

Perforce

If you could ship 20% faster, what would it mean for your business? What could you build? Better question, what’s slowing your teams down? Teams struggle to manage branching and merging. For bigger teams and projects, it gets even more complex. Tracking development using a flowchart, team wiki, or a white board is ineffective. And attempts to automate with complex scripting are costly to maintain. Remove the bottlenecks and automate your development your way with Perforce Streams –– the flexible branching model in Helix Core. Join Brad Hart, Chief Technology Officer and Brent Schiestl, Senior Product Manager for Perforce version control to learn how Streams can: -Automate and customize development and release processes. -Easily track and propagate changes across teams. -Boost end user efficiency while reducing errors and conflicts. -Support multiple teams, parallel releases, component-based development, and more.

How to Do Code Reviews at Massive Scale For DevOps

Perforce

Code review is a critical part of your build process. And when you do code review right, you can streamline your build process and achieve DevOps. Most code review tools work great when you have a team of 10 developers. But what happens when you need to scale code review to 1,000s of developers? Many will struggle. But you don’t need to. Join our experts Johan Karlsson and Robert Cowham for a 30-minute webinar. You’ll learn: -The problems with scaling code review from 10s to 100s to 1,000s of developers along with other dimensions of scale (files, reviews, size). -The solutions for dealing with all dimensions of scale. -How to utilize Helix Swarm at massive scale.

Perforce

The spread of coronavirus has fundamentally changed the way people work. Companies around the globe are making an abrupt shift in how they manage projects and teams to support their newly remote workers. Organizing suddenly distributed teams means restructuring more than a standup. To facilitate this transition, teams need to update how they collaborate, manage workloads, and maintain projects. At Perforce, we are here to help you maintain productivity. Join Johan Karlsson — our Agile expert — to learn how to: Keep communication predictable and consistent. -Increase visibility across teams. -Organize projects, sprints, Kanban boards and more. -Empower and support your remote workforce.

Hybrid Development Methodology in a Regulated World

Perforce

In a regulated industry, collaboration can be vital to building quality products that meet compliance. But when an Agile team and a Waterfall team need to work together, it can feel like mixing oil with water. If you're used to Agile methods, Waterfall can feel slow and unresponsive. From a Waterfall perspective, pure Agile may lack accountability and direction. Misaligned teams can slow progress, and expose your development to mistakes that undermine compliance. It's possible to create the best of both worlds so your teams can operate together harmoniously. This is how to develop products quickly, and still make regulators happy. Join ALM Solutions Engineer Tom Totenberg in this webinar to learn how teams can: - Operate efficiently with differing methodologies. - Glean best practices for their tailored hybrid. - Work together in a single environment. Watch the webinar, and when you're ready for a tool to help you with the hybrid, know that you can try Helix ALM for free.

Free Yourself From the MS Office Prison

Perforce

Companies that track requirements, create traceability matrices, and complete audits - especially for compliance - run into many problems using only Word and Excel to accomplish these tasks. Most notably, manual processes leave employees vulnerable to making costly mistakes and wasting valuable time. These outdated tracking procedures rob organizations of benefiting from four keys to productivity and efficiency: -Automation -Collaboration -Visibility -Traceability However, modern application lifecycle management (ALM) tools solve all of these problems, linking and organizing information into a single source of truth that is instantly auditable. Gerhard Krüger, senior consultant for Helix ALM, explains how the right software supports these fundamentals, generating improvements that save time and money.

5 Ways to Accelerate Standards Compliance with Static Code Analysis

In mission- and safety-critical industries, static code analysis (SCA) is key to facilitating the development of robust and reliable software - yet, according to VDC Research, only 27% of embedded developers report using SCA tools on their current project. Why is adoption low and what can you do to deploy SCA effectively? Join Walter Capitani (Rogue Wave Software) and Christopher Rommel (VDC Research) as they review the results of the latest VDC Research paper on the trends, techniques, and best practices for standards compliance within embedded software teams. You will learn what organizations like yours are doing now and how to prepare for future challenges by: -Understanding trends for standards compliance in 2018 -Identifying common challenges for automotive, medical, industrial automation, and other types of applications -Learning best practices for achieving compliance using different tools, techniques, and processes After attending this webinar, you'll be better prepared to plan and execute a standards compliance program for your team and maximize the effectiveness of static code analysis.

Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024

Globus

As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data Analysis

Globus

JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

Que sont les buildpacks Paketo ? Quelles communautés les soutiennent et comment ? Venez le découvrir lors de cette session ignite

Beyond Event Sourcing - Embracing CRUD for Wix Platform - Java.IL

Natan Silnitsky

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey. Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience. Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system. Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...

Globus

The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.

Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdf

ayushiqss

Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework. In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill. But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app. Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.
