Kanban was originally created as a scheduling system to help manufacturing organizations determine what to produce, when to produce it, and how much to produce. Although this may not sound like software development, these lean principles can be successfully applied to development teams to improve the delivery of value through better visibility and limits on work in process.
This webinar will provide an overview of the Kanban method, including the history and motivation, the core principles and practices, and how these apply to efficiency and process improvement in software development.

The Newest of the New with Visual Studio and TFS 2012Imaginet
By itself, Visual Studio 2012 included many compelling new features not available in prior releases. But Microsoft hasn’t stopped. Since the production release in August 2012, Microsoft has continued to release more new capabilities. In this session we’ll walk through some of the latest and greatest enhancements that you can use in your Visual Studio and TFS 2012 environment.
From 0 to 100 coaching 100+ teams in an agile transformation by Tolga Kombak...Agile ME
Agile Transformation is a long journey and happens in a long time span. Throughout this time span you need to train, start Sprinting and coach new Scrum teams on their very first Sprints.
In this speech we are going to present a case study of one of the Turkey’s biggest banks, where all IT transformed from a waterfall world to a final 113 Scrum teams of Agile IT organization in a total of only 8 months. We had vast experience in the field from training to coaching, from yearly master planning to monthly focus called “The Spotlight", from cultivating new internal Agile coaches to empowering Scrum Masters and Product Owners, from fostering Scrum Masters and Product Owners community to having internal Agile events.
In this speech you’ll learn the milestones we had and along with that how number of teams affected and urged us to create some coaching tools we’ve created and implemented.
Scaling Agile is easily misunderstood. Scaling is the term we often hear used to describe using Agile methods with large enterprises. Larger enterprises often deal with bigger and more complex problems than small ones. They have more employees, subcontracting companies, different business units, more processes and a strong culture that defines how things are done. At the same time, they need to be able to deliver results in an ever-changing business environment. They need to be Agile but the bigger the company, the bigger the challenges are for scaling Agile.
Scaling frameworks available in the market today are maturing quickly and provide a variety of choices. Like the Agile Manifesto, these frameworks are based on principles, and they vary widely in the specificity of the recommended approach.
In this session, we will compare how two scaling frameworks, LeSS and SAFe, address the challenges of agility at scale. We will talk about how these two frameworks align, coordinate, and manage dependencies across multiple teams to maintain consistency and agility at scale.

Agile 2013 - Lean Change for Enabling Agile TransformationsAlexis Hui
Experience report summarizing our experiences with agile transformation in mid-large sized IT organizations and challenges we faced with current methods available. As a result, we saw a need for a better change approach to help us and others in the agile community with agile transformations. Borrowing thinking and tools from Lean Startup, Kanban and Kotter we have defined a structured framework known as Lean Change. The premise behind our thinking is that successful agile transformation requires learning and feedback as the keys for success. Lean Change is founded on three concepts, co-creation of changes through negotiated change, experiment based objectives using minimum viable changes, and validated learning to guide changes through a structured validation lifecycle.

A Very Large Enterprise Agile Transformation: Lessons Learned at SalesforceTechWell
When the agile consultants leave, how do you ensure that the enterprise agile transformation sticks, evolves, and grows throughout the organization? What challenges will you face? What support must be in place to address the challenges? Like software products, the real cost of an agile transformation occurs after the initial rollout. Salesforce.com has sustained an enterprise agile transformation for more than seven years. Mike Register shares the major challenges Salesforce faced and how they addressed them―challenges that include scaling coaching within a very large enterprise (230 teams and growing rapidly) and effectively emphasizing the foundation principles behind the practices. Mike describes what has worked and not worked during their agile journey. He enumerates the primary support structures that need to be in place to support long term enterprise agile transformation. Mike also explores the cultural and leadership aspects necessary to support large scale agile adoption that sticks.
Scaling your agile implementation across multiple teams in large organizations is always a challenge.

DOES15 - Damon Edwards - DevOps Kaizen Practical Steps to Start & Sustain a T...Gene Kim
Damon Edwards, Managing Partner, DTO Solutions, Inc
We all love the aspirational DevOps talks about organizations achieving blistering speed and dazzling nimbleness, right? But what can you do when you look internally at your own organization and everything feels complicated, contentious, and stuck? How do you overcome the silos, the legacy, and the entrenched behaviors that are making your DevOps problems seem so intractable?
This talk is about how to start and sustain a DevOps transformations in large and complex organizations using a methodical — and totally reasonable — Kaizen (Continuous Improvement) approach. This talk isn’t about mythical silver bullets or vague philosophies. This talk is about taking a fresh look at proven Lean techniques and empowering teams to find and fix what is getting in the way.

Data Governance in an Agile SCRUM Lean MVP WorldDATAVERSITY
Most of us learned data modeling via a waterfall-driven methodology lens. Yet Agile and other modern development methods have for the most part assumed that data governance is an anti-pattern to just getting things (software) done. Well look at questions such as:
•Are Agile and Data Governance Enemies?
•How can we get stuff done AND get systems delivered?
•And what do we do about existing systems delivered without data governance attention?
We'll also look at how data modeling fits in the answers to these questions.
2014.07 Exec User Group - Atlassian - SydneyServiceRocket
ServiceRocket hosted an Enterprise Executive User Group at Atlassian's world headquarters in Sydney on July 15, 2014.
Presenters included ServiceRocket CEO Rob Castaneda.
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.

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.

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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

4. Symptom
Release Date: in 9-12 months
“We don’t have staff for that project/work”
Lead time for Feature: 12 months
ETA of Bug Fix: ???
“That isn’t what we wanted.”
“We have to get this out right away!”
“The business unit built that?”
“That feature doesn’t matter anymore.”
“We’re really late.”
“We’re waiting on other teams.”
“We’ve got 100s of bugs waiting.”
5. Problem
Lots of work, not enough
capacity
• Quality suffers
• Features delayed
• Technical debt
• How much…
• Work??
• Capacity??
Disengaged people!
8. What We’ve Tried So Far
We’ve tried…
• Chaos is … chaotic
• Waterfall not well suited
• Large batch, single pass,
long duration workflow
“If we just do it better…”
• Scrum is well suited
• prescriptive without
understanding context
12. The Kanban Method is…
…an approach to incremental, evolutionary
process change for organizations.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban_(development)
13. Kanban Method allows us to…
Our motivation for building kanban systems is
to
prevent overburdening,
control variability in flow
and encourage an evolutionary
approachto change
murimura
14. What causes overburdening and variation?
1. Invisible work
2. Non-instant availability of specialist skills or
collaborators
3. Information fails to arrive before it is needed
4. Hidden/Implicit classes of service that cause
work to be interrupted to process other work
5. Variety in work (complexity & size)
6. Changing priorities related to variety in risks
associated with work (e.g. cost of delay)
7. Capacity constrained specialist skilled workers
or other resources
Are any of these present in your work environment?
15. Organizational Evolution

Longer and longer lead times for features/fixesCompetitor is firstMarket has changed – no longer neededAre we doing the right things? (business-driven development)Internal “solution” developed by business
Teams are getting burned outToo much work, not enough timeQuality goes down (uh oh…)Bug fixing times takes up more of our time (Wasteful!!)New features sit in the backlogOr get crammed in with low quality (Wasteful!!!)Are we doing things right?

Why I love The Kanban MethodFocused on the peopleBusiness drivenSimple rules that scale to complex situationsLearning focusedEasy to start!!
So we said that the Kanban Method is a simple set of rules that help us govern complex systems and that really is the case. In fact, the Kanban Method consists of 4 principles that we use to encourage specific behaviour and 6 practices that give us some tactics that allow us to start learning about ourselves and finding solutions to the process problems as they exist in our environments. One of the key advantages of the Kanban Method over other approaches is how easy it is to get started and use so that we can continue to learn and grow over the course of time. http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-20042058-marathon-runners-at-the-starting-line.php?st=dabb4dd
The Kanban Method is easy to get started because of the first principle, which is to start this improvement initiative what modeling how you work today without any changes. The Kanban Method advocates this approach as it has two positive effects that are important in any change initiative. First, we want to be able to understand the current state and create a baseline on which to compare any improvement activities. We want to find the best places to invest our precious time. Secondly, it will minimize the emotional impact to everyone involved. The second principle is a commitment to small, incremental improvement activities. Small increments are excellent learning opportunities where we minimize the cost and impact of sub-optimal changes. And these learning opportunities help teams plan out the next small improvement.The third principle acknowledges that engaged, happy people a key success factor in the delivery of business value and that we need to provide a respectful and safe environment for the people involved in these improvement activities.And finally, we need to create an environment that allows for and encourages the spontaneous display of acts of leadership at all points of the workflow. These acts of leadership will lead to improvement activities that were not anticipated but will arise to specific problems that the team encounters in their day to day activities.
Now that we have some principles to govern our behaviour, the Kanban Method also provides 6 core practices that support the needs of a team that is looking to continuously improve and grow their Kanban Method maturity level. The sixcore practices of the Kanban Method are:VisualizeLimit Work In Process (WIP)Manage flowMake policies explicitDevelop feedback mechanismsImprove collaboratively (using model-driven experiments/scientific method)When adopting the Kanban Method, it is not required to practice all six of these concepts. All teams should start at the top in what is called a “shallow” Kanban implementation. As they grow in maturity and capability, teams then adopt more of the core practices as they move to a “deep” Kanban implementation.
Humans love to see things! We’re very visually oriented. (percentage of brain attributed to visual stimuli?)SoVisualize – This simple tactic suggests that we create a visual representation of the flow of work through the system. In order to do this, we need to describe:Work Item Types in the system (user stories, bugs, improvement activities, support work)Workflow for these Work Item typesAny special behaviours that are associated with work item types (production defects expedited over user stories, only 1 improvement activity in flight at a time)The boundaries of the process being visualizedThe visualization of all of this information will be a powerful tool in impacting the behaviour of the consumers of the information.
Can anyone see where the problem is in this system?
Limit Work In Process (WIP) – systems that limit the amount of work in process tend to reduce overburdening on people and help to identify bottlenecks in the process
Once WIP limits are in place, we formally acknowledge capacity constraints within a phase of our workflow and we can then start to change those constraints
Manage flow – there are many different ways that we can improve the flow characteristics of work through the system and the Kanban Method explains specific tactics for improving flow in the system
Make policies explicit – In making process policies explicit or “writing them down”, we’re providing information to everyone who needs to understand how the system is operating
Develop feedback mechanisms at workflow, inter-workflow and organizational levels – In order to continuously learn and improve, feedback mechanisms must be created and sustained as a part of the way the team works. And these feedback mechanisms are used to manage broader concerns of the organization around the team adopting the Kanban Method.
Improve collaboratively (using experiments/scientific method) – The last practice is to theories couple with observation and measurements to drive improvement activities. This is often described as using a scientific method to guide our improvement activities. Using a scientific method, we would describe an expectation or a “theory” on the impact of a change, ensure we are able to measure the change, and validate our choices.
Kanban is an unapologetic, realistic, representation of the law of physics. – Daniel Vacanti @danvacanti
Many of our clients have experienced real, measurable benefits when they have adopted the Kanban Method as a way to manage their systems. Teams have quantitative information regarding demand in the form of work item types and the frequency at which these work items are introduced. And they understand their capacity to do work in the form of flow time and throughput.And now that teams understand demand and capacity in a quantitative fashion, we can measurably improve using flow improvement tactics or the elimination of bottlenecks in the workflow.Empowered to innovate Scientific approach (PDSA • LMB • OODA)Exposed ConstraintsSelf-imposedTeam & Organization scopeCan be rectified once exposedAnd on a more qualitative note, we very often see that team members are happier now that they have been given the permission and the tools necessary to improve the software development process. And since we can see when people are overburdened, we can proactively help teams achieve a sustainable pace and reduce the overburdening that burns out teams and causes employee dissatisfaction.http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-15520861-elegant-middle-aged-woman-with-her-arms-crossed-against-white.php?st=fd67935
