THE GOLDEN CIRCLE OF AGILE {MINDSET}
An introduction to agile sw development, exploring the why, how and what. But is sth missing? Seems that successful agile transformations require an agile mindset….
As presented in the 1st Lean&Agile meetup @ thessaloniki, March 2014
Cambio guiado por Experiencias

Design Thinking usada como una poderosa herramienta para el cambio a través del diseño experiencias memorables enfocadas en generar comportamientos sostenibles donde el punto de partida consiste en sumergirse en un estado de empatía auténtica.
Agile Transformation
Pressure to deliver business value faster, and more efficiently is everywhere. Companies are adopting Agile practices and going though the Agile Transformation because moving to agile methods offers any organization to outperform its former measures of productivity and profits. Several years ago, IBM Software Group began adapting agile software development practices and related products to their needs. This session will provide details where we started and what was our agile journey.

How groupthink can influence a software team negatively, and what to do about it.
Using the Improvement Kata for retrospectives
In this session, we will explore the Improvement Kata as a technique to facilitate better retrospectives. The Improvement Kata contains 4 steps which are a pattern for scientific thinking and acting, with structured practice routines. It is built on the idea that change requires practice, often started with small behavior patterns. Many teams struggle to implement retrospective actions successfully, leading to disillusion and questioning the benefit of the meeting. Or sometimes, these actions are contradictory, causing no long term progress. In this session, we will learn the theory behind the Improvement Kata and practice it by using exercises. It will help you to stimulate continuous improvement in your organization and give you tools to facilitate it.

Chicago Improv Conference 2008 - Feedback
Evaluation report of the analysis of feedback data from the Applied Improv Conference held in Chicago, October 2008
Think Fast! Improv Skills to Accelerate Productivity
The corporate world is more volatile than ever. Leaders aren’t meeting with their team members in placid weekly meetings—they’re wrangling a conference call during a half-hour layover while responding to three panic-stricken emails. Never fear The Second City is here! That's right - THAT Second City.
In this interactive webinar, The Second City's very own lead creatives will shed light on how honing the core skills of an improviser can help mold so-so leaders in top level all stars. Highlighted in this 60 minute session, attendees will learn first hand how becoming a better improviser can help:
Fostering a “yes, and” approach to work
Embracing failure to accelerate high performance
Innovating by making something out of nothing

The Six Trumps for Effective Learning - Mile High Agile 2016
Ever walk out of a meeting or training class struggling to remember what was just discussed? You are not alone! Leaders struggle with how to create an engaging environment that results in high collaboration and learning. Unfortunately, most leaders start off with the disadvantage of being exposed to practices that recent brain science has proven to be ineffective, such as standing up front in the room and talking with slides for an hour. In an agile environment, learning is (almost) everything. Experience first-hand Sharon Bowman’s Training from the BACK of the Room six trumps that have a significant impact to learner retention. Leave with a variety of tools aimed at helping people engage to learn best. Oh, and it will be FUN!

Finding the First Slice
Many Agile practitioners are comfortable working iteratively in small slices once there’s a basic foundation, but struggle with where to start on a new project, product, or other big idea. Participants in this session will learn how to use Richard’s Feature Mining technique to find early slices of any big idea that provide value, learning, and risk-mitigation.
Agile For All clients have used this successfully for all kinds of software products, for combined software and hardware systems, and even beyond software in such areas as park construction and office remodeling. In some cases, projects with apparent significant up-front infrastructure requirements were able to ship a valuable slice to customers after just one or two sprints.
Agile Anywhere in the 21st Century: Setting up distributed teams to be effective
This presentation will focus on the topic of working in a distributed agile team. We’ll go over terminology (remote vs near shore vs offshore vs distributed vs satellite etc) and I will share three different examples of distributed teams I’ve worked on and how we managed to be agile with our practices around pairing, knowledge sharing, and minimizing upfront design.
We will discuss why the notion of distributed teams is becoming more and more relevant for modern organizations, what advantages and drawbacks exist, and what leadership needs to carefully evaluate when asking if distributed is right for their teams.

Using Flow-based Road Mapping & Options
If you’d like an alternative to typical, quarter-by-quarter, schedule oriented road mapping (and all the associated waste) then this session is for you. Cat Swetel and Matt Barcomb will introduce the CadencedFlow approach to flow-based road mapping.
They will first cover how to layout and execute a road map based on models that better fit software planning as well as how to transform your existing plans. Next, using options thinking to frame work will be explored and how to apply starting and stopping triggers to options reducing the need of blind budgeting practices. Finally, Cat and Matt will wrap up by touching on a few key metrics that will let you monitor and evaluate your new road map.

The D Files: Debunking Myths About Distributed Teams
We can’t do agile – teams need to be co-located!,” we often hear from naysayers about adopting agile in companies with remote workers. We know that distributed teams – be they off-shore, on-shore, near-shore, in-shore, whatever-shore – are the way many businesses operate today. How can we, as agilists in our organizations (as ScrumMasters, Product Owners, consultants, trainers, etc.), resolve the challenges that distributed teams face? This talk will review some of the common issues that distributed teams face and we’ll talk through real-world, practical solutions that I’ve used with my teams; techniques you can take back to your teams immediately.

MHA2018 - BDD is JIT - Jeff Langr
When building your Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) examples, do you first dive into detailing all the given-when-then narratives? Chances are good that you're doing more speculative work than you should. Let's learn how to shape our BDD features using a just-in-time (JIT) mentality. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn about when and how to negotiate stories around BDD scenario names. You'll discover how this focus can help you: * learn how to break down larger stories * determine the scope to be delivered * transition the conversation (story) into a dependable artifact.
MHA2018 - How the Marine Corps Creates High-Performing Teams - Andrew McKnigh...
Andrew McKnight "Outside of the 13-week grueling boot camp that every Marine goes through, what do the Marines do to have the title of the ""World's 911 Response Force?""
It isn't because they come out of the Marine Corps boot camp being able to run 3-miles with ease, are hand-to-hand combat proficient, or can shoot a human-sized target from 500 yards with deadly accuracy.
It's because the most basic team in the Marines is a 4-person, cross-functional team that is empowered to train, learn and grow together; are technically and tactically proficient, and operate in a decentralized decision-making model the ensures those with the most current and relevant information are the ones making the decisions.
Join me in exploring how the Marine Corps uses this small unit to excel on the battlefield, and how you can use these approaches to build high performing teams in your organization."

MHA2018 - Your Agile Adoption is Going to Fail (and you're gonna fall right o...
"You can see your whole agile transition program starting to lose its grip. Culture and mind-sets have not changed (or not changed enough). You're going to fall! This lecture will shed light on the true and dire nature of your situation, and provide you with a thin lifeline and carabiner of hope. Most Agile adoptions focus on the implementation of a framework (Scrum, XP, SAFe, LeSS, etc) and the use of practices and techniques as an attempt to ""fake it 'til you make it,"" which should spur on the growth mindset. Companies and coaches believe you can change the culture and change the mindsets and the benefits of a truly agile organization will then follow. This is all a lovely self-deception. Humans are emotional creatures, and even the most logical Spock-like among us are still driven by the chemicals and irrational survival thought processes in our brains. This talk covers several examples of irrational failures, followed by examples of irrational successes, where the use of the art of persuasion was applied. In this new age where facts no longer matter, fake news fools people, and Stephen Colbert's 'truthiness' is in the dictionary, it's time to lay down the cumulative flow diagrams and focus on the actual methods that will affect change. (But yeah, the reality is most of you are going down -- not everyone has what it takes to summit Everest.)

MHA2018 - Rebuilding Trust through Transparency - Meg Ward
"Are you in a position where it feels like there's no trust between you and your stakeholders? Or are you worried that you might be heading into that position?
I've been there, and I'm here to help. In February 2016, I moved from Developer to Manager of a team who were in their fifth year of a two-year project. To make matters worse, they had another deployment of an equally complex product that needed to happen nearly immediately due to competitive pressures (spoiler alert: we did not hit the deadline the customer wanted).
In this talk, I'll cover tips and tricks to build transparency, and with that transparency, build trust as well as about how to overcome a legacy of distrust and build stronger relationships. Additionally, I will talk about what has and hasn't worked and how we've dealt with and overcome additional setbacks."
MHA2018 - The Experimentation Mindset - Doc Norton
Among the traits that distinguish a good team from a great team is their ability to innovate. Despite the rhetoric in favor of innovation, most organizations are stuck in an implementation mindset, stifling creativity, excellence, and the resultant innovation. The experimentation mindset frees us from self-imposed constraints, allowing us to continually learn and improve. In this session, we’ll talk about how we learn as individuals and how we learn as organizations. We’ll take a look at some examples of the experimentation mindset happening in the agile community today and we’ll talk about how you can foster such a mindset in your own organization.
MHA2018 - Only Responsible Leaders Can Collaborate in a High-Functioning Team...
"As a Lean-Agile leader, you can turn your leadership team into a high-performing Lean-Agile leadership team. This highly interactive mashup workshop explores what happens when team members take personal responsibility, come from a place of vulnerability, and therefore authentically facilitate real collaboration to produce great results.
Christopher Avery's responsibility process describes the phases we go through on our way to taking real responsibility.
Patrick Lencioni describes the five dysfunctions of team, and by extension the five behaviors of a high-functioning, collaborative team.
Jean Tabaka taught us how to facilitate collaboration by creating safety in a room and on a team and by ensuring that all voices are heard.
In this highly interactive workshop, we will explore together what happens we are a stuck in something less than a place of responsibility, and what impact that has on our ability to collaborate effectively on a team.
Then we will explore how working our way to a place of responsibility also helps us create and contribute to a healthy team, and how to facilitate a team that can collaborate to create great things.
Attendees will walk away with a process you can run with your team to help you and your team reach performance and responsibility."
MHA2018 - Herbie - understanding and applying WiP limits effectively - John Y...
Herbie is an interactive game which compares four different types of WiP limits and how they impact on throughput, the history of WiP limits such as Henry Ford and Taiichi Ohno and how to apply Little's law. It is a fun and engaging game with plenty of opportunity for discussion and learning.
MHA2018 - It's a "self-organizing" team -- how can I help them? - Erika Lenz
"Your teams seem to be working ok -- they attend meetings, stories move across the board, most work gets done, eventually. But when a problem comes up, they point fingers or scatter like ants in a rainstorm. Why aren't they proactive? Why don't they have a sense of ownership? Why don't they collaborate and participate in decision-making? You told them they were self-organizing!!!
""Self-organization"" is one of the most misunderstood concepts in Agile. Research shows that most high-performing teams are self-organizing. Why, then, are high-performing teams so rare?
This talk will help participants accomplish the following learning objectives:
* Be able to distinguish between the four types of team (manager-led, self-managing, self-organizing, self-governing).
* Identify what kind of team(s) they are working with.
* Understand the types of authority teams need to have to be self-organizing.
* Understand the types of support needed from managers, scrum masters, and others.
* Identify behaviors they can model / exhibit to help their teams become more self-organizing.
This is primarily a lecture format, interspersed with table or paired discussions. "
MHA2018 - Validate It Before You Build It: The Experiment Canvas - Brad Swanson
Validated Learning is the core of the Lean Startup philosophy and it tells us to run low-cost experiments to validate our product ideas. The Experiment Canvas is a one-page simple tool that guides you through the process from articulating the problem (the market opportunity), identifying risks & uncertainties, and selecting the most appropriate experiments to address the biggest risks. Participants will learn about a variety of techniques for running low-cost product experiments to measure gauge the market and ultimately to build the Right Thing.
MHA2018 - How Agile Coaching Practices Can Be Used in Schools To Get Students...
"Are we doing all we can as educators to prepare students for the demands of the modern workplace? In this session we will explore how Agile is being used in the classroom, how SCRUM ceremonies are the key to student reflection and growth, and what our community can do to promote Agile in schools. This session will be divided into 3 parts:
1. What Are the Challenges that Public and Private Education Faces in the 21st Century?
2. How Coaching Students Using Agile Ceremonies Can Solve the Problem of Workplace Readiness
3. What the Agile Community Can Do To Promote Agile in Schools "
MHA2018 - Going with the Flow: Adapting Scrum Practices for Marketing - Andre...
The worlds of software and marketing are converging, but that doesn't mean the two groups look the same when practicing Agile. Scrum, while still the dominant choice for developers, often fails to translate in a marketing environment. But by incorporating more flow-based practices from the Kanban world, marketers can take Agile and make it their own. This session draws on new research from hundreds of marketers, as well as on-the-ground experience from an Agile marketing coach. If you're struggling with Agile outside of IT, you may need to start going with the flow.
MHA2018 - When will it be done - Probabilistic Predictions - Prateek Singh
"The very first question a customer asks us when we start work is - When will it be done? Traditional methods of answering this question are fraught with errors. The most common errors include heavy reliance on estimates and use of averages to give one deterministic answer. We are all aware that our world is not deterministic and each prediction has a probability of being right and a complimentary probability of being wrong. In this session, we will use examples and a simple exercise to demonstrate a much easier method which can help make probabilistic predictions.
These predictions can help teams have more informed conversations with their customers about their probability of completing a project on time and around the risk profiles of their projects. The audience will learn how with very little estimation and simple measurements they can better inform and equip teams, managers and customers with information about possible completion dates of the project. We will show how these techniques are actively being used to predict the completion of single items and a set of multiple items in the real world. "
MHA2018 - Docker and Jenkins Pipeline for Continuous integration - Mark Waite
"DevOps lets development teams deploy to production. Developers and testers don't want to break production.
Combining Docker containers and Jenkins Pipeline automates the deployment pipeline and reduces production breaks.
They are a powerful pair in the DevOps toolbox."
MHA2018 - Jen Krieger - Getting Started with Kanban
Often times teams that struggle with Scrum see Kanban as the "easier" way of working. Do you have a team that thinks that? Kanban is as rigorous in process as Scrum is, when you take advantage of all of the tools it has to offer. Come and learn the history of Kanban, the basic mechanics on getting started, and what you do once you master To Do, Doing & Done.
MHA2018 - The Immunity to Change - How to discover individual or team resista...
Often we know what we need to change in our behaviors; however, for some reason we either don’t, won’t or can’t sustain the change. This session teaches a method, Immunity to Change, that can help get to the root of the resistance to those changes. This session introduces a method for discovering why we often know exactly what to do differently, but for whatever reason fail to do so. This is the face of really knowing, believing and wanting to change! In the session we explore the theoretical underpinnings of the Immunity to Change (ITC) method. And throughout the session each participant has the opportunity to build their own ITC map and perhaps discover meaning for a personal change in their lives.
MHA2018 - How Agile connects to the Social Nature of a High-Performance Workp...
"Social networks can make a huge impact on business success. Agile transformations can create threats and resistance even with the best intentions when we do not consider how each message is received. In this talk, we will consider how using the SCARF model (status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness and fairness) can guide leaders in their message and create more safety and high performance in the workplace.
Agile has claimed high performing teams is critical and we have debates over how to measure high performance but we need to turn our focus from numbers to the social aspects of the workplace? Everyone experiences change in different ways but there are instinctual responses that should be understood and considered so that we create an inviting and positive reaction to the changes we are asking people to make.
By understanding how the brain responds to events, you can more effectively remove common barriers managers and their teams face each day. We will talk through how social qualities impact relationships and decisions, how the brain works and how you can relate these to our core agile principles and experience more successful transformations."

In this highly interactive and hands-on workshop, we will share our favorite activities for retrospectives and explore their best purposes. We will engage in exercises that focus on *activities* for any part of the retro: from setting the stage to gathering data to deciding what to do. We'll look at specific, common team scenarios: brand new team, disaffected/underperforming team member(s), distributed teams, technical challenges, etc. and discover how to find the right activity for the right team issue. Attendees will leave with a workbook of ideas (some provided by me, most crowdsourced by the group) and renewed enthusiasm for their team's retrospectives.

MHA2018 - Introduction to Observational Coaching - Daniel Lynn
"Starting out as a new agile coach is difficult. Where do you go? How do you start? Learn to leverage a coaching approach that focuses on observations and, from them, insights and goals. Through this, coaches will be able to better target their efforts and create demonstrable improvement in teams.
In this workshop, we provide scenarios drawn from real-life experience with teams and organizations. After an introduction to good observation techniques, groups will be asked to collect observations from various scenarios.
Groups will then collaborate with others and draw insights from common behaviors and trends. From this, we will leverage the Coaching Card technique to plan possible coaching paths forward and identify ways that progress could be validated and demonstrated in practice.
Attendees will leave this session with a structured approach to guide their ongoing coaching efforts and share those experiences with others in the organization."

Ensuite, nous avons pu créer des images Docker (OCI) avec leur dernière génération, les Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNCF en incubation). Sont-ils une bonne alternative au Dockerfile ? Que sont les buildpacks Paketo ? Quelles communautés les soutiennent et comment ?

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good Practices
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.
