The Three Modes of Collaboration–and What They Mean for Distributed TeamsLean Startup Co.
Teryn Rikert STEELCASE
People on distributed teams often say, “Working remotely is great for heads-down tasks, but collaborating remotely–especially on creative work–is really hard.” You’ve probably said that yourself. So how can we improve distributed collaboration in virtual meetings? Teryn Rikert, a workplace strategist with Steelcase, will break down the different modes of collaboration, helping us understand the key behaviors, interactions and tools we can use to support them over distance.

When Failure Is a Success by Ursula Shekufendeh - The Lean Startup Conference...Lean Startup Co.
It's one thing to decide that you'll rigorously test product ideas, and it's entirely another matter to actually kill something that isn't clearly a dud. AppFolio faced this dilemma when deciding whether to launch a new product last year. Product Manager Ursula Shekefundeh takes us through the surprising--and hard--decisions her team made at the persevere/pivot/kill crossroads.
Joe Moore @joem PIVOTAL LABS
Pair programming is a key approach to simultaneously increasing focus, improving code, boosting morale and generating team cohesion, among other benefits. But, like most methods of close collaboration, it’s predicated on the idea that two people are sitting right next to each other. Joe Moore of Pivotal Labs–a leader in pair programming–will look at how the human interaction elements of the process can be used to effectively integrate remote team members into HQ or co-located teams, and can thus be applied to many kinds of intense, virtual collaboration.

Elin Elkehag, Instalert Inc., @elkehag
Got an idea? Would you invest 2 hours in that idea to guarantee your next step towards success? Can a 50-cent prototype be the key to moving your project forward with confidence? Is it worth $50 bucks to see if you product has legs? Elin Elkehag tells the story of what she learned during her 100-day lean startup challenge.
Amir Shevat, Slack, @ashevat
As product managers and founders we know failing can be a good learning experience – and that is true, unless you fail because of something common or stupid that could have been avoided by simple methodologies. Many times we simply make irrational product decisions that prevent us from actually running valuable experiments. Avoiding common mistakes and taking better product decisions, by using easy hacks, could make or break your product and startup. In this session we will go over a few common product failures, as well as demonstrate simple methods and tricks to avoid these failures.
Tomer Sharon, WeWork, @tsharon
Uncovering true user needs is one of the most challenging aspects of product development. Oh-so-many organizations develop products and services that nobody needs. The Experience Sampling Method is a simple research technique for uncovering user needs. In a typical Experience Sampling study, research participants are interrupted several times a day to note their experience in real time. In this talk, Tomer Sharon will demonstrate the method with conference attendees, show how it can help shape product roadmap priorities, describe how it serves as Google Search’s secret weapon, and demonstrate live, onstage data analysis.
Ariana Friedlander, Rosabella Consulting, LLC , @arianaf
Do you struggle connecting with your customers? Having a hard time getting valuable insights from your customers? Tired of running experiments that don’t give accurate pass/fail indicators? In this hands-on interactive session, Ariana will help you move past those limitations by sharing her unique co-creational approach. At the end, you will walk away with a well crafted line of inquiry so that you may conduct more effective experiments while building your community of supporters.
Vincent Thamm, Transavia , @Vincent_Thamm
This presentation looks at the learnings and challenges faced when Transavia started using Lean Startup to accelerate customer experience innovation, how we engaged the Transavia Management Team, how we scaled Lean Startup for other business ideas, how we combined different methods of work into a continuous innovation process and how we apply Lean Startup in an Open innovation context.
Build a Culture that Outsmarts Perfectionism by Seppo Helava - The Lean Start...Lean Startup Co.
The build-measure-learn loop is often accompanied by the frustration-confusion-failure cycle. In other words, implementing Lean Startup methods is hard--particularly when your experiments invalidate a lot of your ideas. In this talk, Seppo Helava, founder at Nonsense Industry, teaches us how he's led his team to overcome perfectionism and become more comfortable with grey areas and failure.

Leanconf 2014 Keynote - the One Metric to Rule Them All By Ash MauryaLeanconf
Companies drown in a sea of numbers. Google Analytics alone spits out over a thousand numbers. Add to that a few other analytics tools and your own homegrown dashboard and you know what I mean.
We don’t need more numbers, but actionable metrics.
In this talk, I’m going to show you how to measure the progress of any business using just a handful of metrics. And then I’m going to distill these metrics even further into a single macro metric that drives every business

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
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.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/cjcam/2662387745/lightbox/There’s such a temptation to test that it absolves you of creative integrality and responsibility. More importantly you start chasing meaningless wins. One of the hardest lessons is learning what to test and what not to test. We don’t have a crystal ball. So how do you think about it.
Wins that give a little fuel for the mission AND are on route to the goal – usually related to business vital signs - adoption, revenue
Wins that give a little fuel for the mission AND are on route to the goal – usually related to business vital signs - adoption, revenue
Break thru win

Meaningless wins. That’s the problem with lean. We spend lots of times validating assumptions that don’t matter. Ironic, because I got into lean cause it helps you focus on what matter most.
Here’s the diagram of our testing setup with the changes I’ve just mentionedThere’s the user in the testing room, and me next to them with my laptop We’re running GTM, and I can monitor that, take notes and IM on my laptop Teams of developers now sit at their desks and watch the test on their own computers through the power of GoToMeeting, while the audio comes through their speakers (hopefully they are wearing earphones so they are not sharing the session with the whole office)
Meaningless wins. That’s the problem with lean. We spend lots of times validating assumptions that don’t matter. Ironic, because I got into lean cause it helps you focus on what matter most. Next time you hear speed to launch as the reason to do something… think of will
Wins that give a little fuel for the mission AND are on route to the goal – usually related to business vital signs - adoption, revenueIf we can find a $20 in our pocket we’ll take it. But not if we spend $50 to get it.
