QA Fest 2017. Gerlof Hoekstra.The Art of Test Planning – Expect The Unexpected QAFest
The idea is that lots of test plans are big, complex, rigid, detailed. I think we can do much leaner. The key is that you have to accept that unexpected things will happen and be prepared & flexible enough to handle change, rather than try to nail everything in stone. It is about letting loose, trust the team and finding balance between planning and skilled improvising, but without losing control.

Start Learning Efficiently Now - Lean & Agile DC 2017Elliot Susel
Lean Startup methodologies have a reputation for being associated with technology projects, but their application goes far beyond software development. In this session, we’ll demonstrate how you can learn faster and save your company millions of dollars, all without writing a single line of code. No prior experience with Lean Startup is required.
This presentation was delivered at Lean + Agile DC 2017
Sudokuban is a Kanban in practice example activity that takes about 20-25 minutes to run. This is the slidepack that goes with the game to briefly introduce Kanban before the game and then give some more in depth information afterwards.
The benefit of a Sudoku based game is that it mimics the software development process more closely - ie requires in depth, concentrated effort, where pairing could hamper the concentration.
The sudoku game pack comprises of 12 sudoku puzzles, setup partly in progress in flow with low WIP limits. Quality issues are embedded into the pack to ensure that failure occurs immediately and WIP constraints get met to force the change in behaviour.
Expedites are added part way in (two closely together) to form behaviour around handling them.
Team will generally learn:
1) How to use WIP limits
2) How to swarm to remove blockers
3) How to handle expedites
4) To re-prioritise according to value
5) The value of someone still looking out for the team's flow
Conducted at Sydney's AgileTour 2013.
Run at Agile Games 2015 in Boston, this is a joint pack to run in an hour and a half two games - Sudokuban (a game about learning how to do Kanban) and the Agile Values game (which utilizes the Marshmallow Challenge).

Workshop on Root Cause Analysis tools: Ask Why five times and fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram. I use this to teach basic concepts and give people an experience of using the tools.
Retrospectives Workshop
Are you struggling with retrospectives? Do you find it hard to get value out of them? Are you looking for tricks to make them amazing all the time?
Come join us for a Retrospective workshop!
The twelfth principle of the Agile manifesto says:
At regular intervals, the team reflects on how to become more effective, then tunes and adjusts its behavior accordingly.
We cannot understate the importance of this practice; if you only use one Agile practice, use Retrospectives. Retrospectives enable your team to inspect and adapt by looking at your results, and altering your plans to match reality. If you do not allow time for improvements, your team will always be in 'firefighting' mode.
In this meetup, Dag will elaborate on a few facilitation concepts, and invite the group to participate in a workshop. The workshop will teach you additional tips and tricks to make your retrospectives GREAT!

EuroSTAR Software Testing Conference 2010 presentation on Session Based Test Management in Practice by Carsten Feildberg. See more at: http://conference.eurostarsoftwaretesting.com/past-presentations/
Have you ever tested an application without finding ANY bugs? Have you ever worked on a project that was completely free of bugs? I suspect that your answers to these questions are the same as mine; never ever! Let’s face it, as testers our professional world, like the physical world around us, is full of bugs. Software bugs, just like the species after which they are named, are a fact of life. In their quests for quality, the goal of most organizations is to deploy clean, bug free releases into production, and so they employ test methodologies that are designed to find as many bugs as possible during testing.
But, as we all know, it is impossible to find every possible bug, especially when limited time and resources are limited. When bugs are missed and slip into production, the cost to the organization can range from embarrassment and negative publicity to millions of dollars in lost sales. In many industries such as medical devices or pharmaceuticals, missed bugs may even lead to loss of life. Missed bugs are, and will continue to be, a critical issue in software testing.
And so in most organizations, each time a bug, as tiny and insignificant as it may be, crawls into production, mayhem of magnanimous proportions ensues. And sometimes, the focus on finding out why it happened takes priority over the fix. In the name of continuous improvement, we begin the root cause analysis. Root cause analysis can take many forms. In some organizations, it is used effectively to make process improvements. In other organizations, it amounts to a witch hunt, the sole purpose of which is to assign blame.
I worked in an organization where the art of the witch hunt and assignment of blame was developed to the level of a science. All bugs escaping into user acceptance testing or production were immediately analyzed to determine root cause, i.e., code, requirements, missed test case, etc. If the root cause was determined to be a tester miss, this was also noted in the test management tool. Metrics were developed to track missed bugs and testers were effectively pulverized for missing bugs. Test leads dreaded the root cause analysis process and testers worked in fear of missing bugs.
As a test lead in this environment, I really wanted to help my test teams and reduce our bug misses. I started to think about how we missed bugs. The more I thought about it, I realized that the “how” is probably more important than the “why”. And I began the journey into How Did I Miss That Bug?

Presentation for Mile High PMI Workshop on November 15, 2008
Abstract:
There are always people who want agile projects to fail. This will probably be the case until agile is the preferred process methodology used for projects. Are you one of them? In this workshop Bob Hartman will give participants a how-to guide for causing agile process failure. Attendees will learn various failure modes and how to cause them. There will be group discussions and exercises exploring how the failure modes can manifest themselves in real projects. At the end of this workshop each attendee should have the ability to cause agile project failure in a variety of ways and under a variety of conditions.
Obviously the first paragraph is a bit tongue-in-cheek. Hopefully project managers do not want agile projects to fail, but they need to know how they could fail. This knowledge will translate into an ability to recognize the failure modes and take corrective action. Interestingly, many of the agile project failure modes are also failure modes in other project process methodologies. All project managers on agile projects or in organizations that are considering using an agile process should attend this workshop. Project managers in organizations which typically struggle with projects may also gain insight into their project failure modes.

Exploring Innovations in Data Repository Solutions - Insights from the U.S. G...Globus
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made substantial investments in meeting evolving scientific, technical, and policy driven demands on storing, managing, and delivering data. As these demands continue to grow in complexity and scale, the USGS must continue to explore innovative solutions to improve its management, curation, sharing, delivering, and preservation approaches for large-scale research data. Supporting these needs, the USGS has partnered with the University of Chicago-Globus to research and develop advanced repository components and workflows leveraging its current investment in Globus. The primary outcome of this partnership includes the development of a prototype enterprise repository, driven by USGS Data Release requirements, through exploration and implementation of the entire suite of the Globus platform offerings, including Globus Flow, Globus Auth, Globus Transfer, and Globus Search. This presentation will provide insights into this research partnership, introduce the unique requirements and challenges being addressed and provide relevant project progress.
How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

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.
Listen to the keynote address and hear about the latest developments from Rachana Ananthakrishnan and Ian Foster who review the updates to the Globus Platform and Service, and the relevance of Globus to the scientific community as an automation platform to accelerate scientific discovery.

Attendees will learn the practical aspects of setting up and remotely triggering LLMs from local machines, focusing on ease of use and efficiency. This talk is ideal for researchers and practitioners looking to leverage the power of LLMs in their work, offering a clear guide to harnessing supercomputing resources for quick and effective LLM inference.
Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
