This deck was presented by Kim Ballestrin, Nish Mahanty, Megan Dell and Dean Cornish on June 18, 2014 at the Agile Australia Conference in Melbourne Australia.
A test strategy is the set of ideas that guides your test design. It's what explains why you test this instead of that, and why you test this way instead of that way. Strategic thinking matters because testers must make quick decisions about what needs testing right now and what can be left alone. You must be able to work through major threads without being overwhelmed by tiny details. James Bach describes how test strategy is organized around risk but is not defined before testing begins. Rather, it evolves alongside testing as we learn more about the product. We start with a vague idea of our strategy, organize it quickly, and document as needed in a concise way. In the end, the strategy can be as formal and detailed as you want it to be. In the beginning, though, we start small. If you want to focus on testing and not paperwork, this approach is for you.
In this talk, Tatiana will take you on a journey from IC to Tech Lead. She had a lot of struggles and unknowns along the way for years, but she decided to share those experiences as well as the efficient way to go about the role. She will give actionable ideas and provide a reference point on how Tech Leading could look like in practice.
Discovery is an iterative process of reducing uncertainty. It's an essential part of how we do Product Development; routinely involving our customers in the act of deciding what we build, before we build it. Without discovery we increase the risk of building solutions that our customer won’t want, use or value. With discovery we maximise our chances of investing in ideas that are likely to succeed.

Design studio: A team alignment secret weapon - Modev MVP Conference
We all want the best user experience, but often other priorities get in the way: “Bob from Marketing wants it to…”, “The developers don’t like that approach...”, “That feature is a ‘nice to have’”.
What if you had a tool that can help folks sharpen their UX skills, get them prioritizing the users and their goals, and align everyone on a common vision that revolves around a great user experience?
This hands-on tutorial will walk you through a design studio and how it can be a great tool to align product owners, developers and UX teams on an approach that balances user and business needs. We’ll also show you how to conduct a “mini design studio” before an agile sprint.
You’ll gain hands-on experience with different aspects of running a design studio through individual and group exercises throughout the tutorial.

Speed Design Studio is a variant of Will Evan’s Design Studio Process and was designed collaboratively by Jabe Bloom and Will Evan’s at TLCLabs
Speed Design Studio was modified from the original based on insights from Cognitive Edge methods and is focused on extremely rapid iterations in an attempt to emerge team level understandings of design problems and solution language.
Due to efforts applied to tighten cycle times, Speed Design Studio can be taught in a 1-2 hr workshop.
This offers an overview of the higher education crisis, tools and frameworks to guide leadership through the change process to survive and then thrive. This includes a case study of how the president of Becker College has turned around the institution against all odds.
There are too many institutions serving too few students
at too high a price. Colleges and universities are not consistently delivering the desired outcomes of social and financial mobility, and we’re experiencing these trends at the exact moment there is a greater availability of outcomes data. The result? Unprecedented transparency in the state of higher education. We need entrepreneurial academic leaders to develop new offerings and new business models with greater relevance and ROI.
The pending silver tsunami of seniors is expected to reach 20% of the US population, 80 million people, by 2050 with a collective market projected to soon be in excess of $300 billion and a need for more direct care givers than we currently have teachers in all K-12 in the US.
This is an update on the conceptual development of the College of Design + Engineering + Commerce. This work was influenced by input from Steve Spinelli, President of Philadelphia University, Randy Swearer, Provost of Philadelphia University, DR Widder, Executive Director of University Innovation, and Gwynne Keathly, Vice Provost of Philadelphia University among many other contributors too numerous to list. Thank you
overview of design thinking based business program that begins with business models and runs through marketing, management, operations, and financial analysis
This is a problem set up for a faculty charrette exploring a discipline neutral problem that requires innovation in design (human values, interface), technology, and business model or the industry faces extinction
Business needs designers. Designers can invent, empowered with the tools and language of business they are uniquely qualified to innovate. Designing the Future of Business will offer designers a holistic overview of and introduction to key business skills and analytical tools explored through the designers lens. Specifically, this bridge program will apply design thinking and the design process to business tools to probe and analyze complex challenges such as new business models in changing economic environments.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Editor's Notes
A design process can be described as aboveWe begin with observations, from which we gain insights (actionable) from which we generate ideas from which we select solutions. Two good examples that walk you through this cycle come from the IDEO article:BIKEThe bike company observed and noticed that adults stopped riding bikesThey discovered through observations and interactions the insight that high tech bikes were intimidating (product use, purchase, service, etc)They generated the idea to rebuild the bike process and their solutions selected were a new bike (cruisers), new brand, new purchase environment, new service approach, etcFINANCEBOA Keep the changeBOA was seeking to attract, retain, and increase deposits from customersThey shadowed customers and asked about financial planning (observations)They discovered the common notion of a (physical) change jar (insights)They generated ideas on ways to tap into off line behaviors in on line finance (ideas)They selected the solution “Keep the Change” which rounds up purchases to the next whole dollar amount and transfers the difference to a savings account.
When you break this design process down for learning and look at preference you can look at each half at a time- Here right to leftThe left half has to do with a preference for reflection and analysisThe right half has to do with active experimentation and synthesizing
When you break this design process down for learning and look at preference you can look at each half at a time- Here top to bottomThe bottom half is about concrete experiences- the tangible- What isThe top half is about the abstract- the intangible- what could be
Now to look at the 5 types in this context:DIVERGINGgood at seeing concrete situations from multiple perspectivesASSIMILATINGgood at understanding a wide variety of information + putting it in concise logical formCONVERGINGgood at finding practical uses for ideas and theories, solving problemsACCOMMODATINGgood at learning from hands on experienceBALANCEDgood at moving through multiple learning phases, leading design processes
