This document discusses agile project management techniques like Scrum and Kanban. It provides an overview of how to implement Scrum using Team Foundation Server, including creating teams, sprints, backlogs, and conducting events like daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives. It also discusses how Kanban principles can be applied in TFS 2012 through work item tagging and customizable boards.
Realizing a solution is no longer enough
Imagine yourself a clever software developer, sitting in his room, working deep at night. For weeks, months, he's breeding on that one perfect solution. He codes like crazy, refactors, rebuilds. He wants it to be perfect. May be he showed it to some of his friends and they told him they like the idea. After a lot of hard work the solution is finally ready. Excited and full of expectations he introduces it to the market. Soon, all his effort will pay off, money will start flowing. Unfortunately, nobody seems to be interested in using the product and for sure they don't want to pay for it. What went wrong? How to prevent? During the lecture we will discuss how to cut this big salami into small pieces by using a lean development approach based on Scrum.
Provide an introduction to Agile development using Scrum and discuss how the iterative approach to development helps the customer to get the solution they want. Look at how this approach works when applied to SharePoint projects, how it helps leverage more of the core platform and focuses effort on the biggest value areas. We will look at the challenges this brings to your development team by doing early integration, dealing with upgrades and changes and understand how addressing the hard things early is the right approach. We will also discuss how Scrum gives visibility of the project and brings both good and bad news. How getting customer engagement is the primary challenge and how the flexible approach is often at odds with the way work is contracted.
This slides-share describes best practices to implement Jira in software development organizations who practice Agile.
The focus is on simple implementation based on Jira core and portfolio to achieve high ROI

Patterns for Scalability in Windows Azure Applications (Alex Mang)ITCamp
So you've learned what elasticity means and why it is important to consider scalability in your cloud application architecture. But how can you easily manage your code in order to implement all the theories around scalability?
During this session, I will talk and demo the most common patterns used when designing a cloud application: the valet key pattern, the sharding pattern, the materialized view pattern, the event sourcing pattern and the CQRS pattern.
Elements of DDD with ASP.NET MVC & Entity Framework Code First v2Enea Gabriel
This is a presentation about the new Domain Driven Design architecture in combination with ASP.NET MVC 3 and Entity Framework 4.1 CodeFirst tools.

Database and Public EndPoints Redundancy on Azure (Radu Vunvulea)ITCamp
This is the perfect session if you need to design a solution that needs to run over Windows Azure and needs to be available 24 hours every day, 7 days per week. We will discuss different concepts and solutions to have databases and/or public API’s available even if a part of cloud infrastructure will be down. Topics like automatically backups, failover mechanism, traffic manager and redundancy will be discussed.
How # (sharp) is Your Katana (Ciprian Jichici)ITCamp
The Internet of Things is coming upon us bringing a whole range of fundamental changes in the way we imagine, understand, and write services. One of the major trends we’re wittnessing is the breakdown of monoliths, and Microsoft’s web stack is among the candidates. With the new .NET framework and standards like OWIN, the world of web development is changing significantly.
We’re going to cover in this session some advanced scenarios involving ASP.NET MVC 5, WebAPI 2, OWIN, Katana (Microsoft’s implementation of OWIN), and, of course, Windows Azure (Windows Azure Active Directory to be more specific). And to make things more real, we’re going to demonstrate everything using a solution used by our team at HTSS-Genisoft in real-life production.
Building Better Tech: The Product Manager's Role in Infrastructure & Platform...Product School
Engineering platform and infrastructure teams can benefit immensely from having dedicated product managers on board to drive outcomes and ultimately help those teams deliver on the most impactful initiatives while spending less time on interruptions and distractions. In this session, you will learn what makes engineering platform product managers different from feature team product managers (spoiler alert: it's basically the same, start with the customer and work backwards from there, but different in that we kick things up a few notches), how product managers can add value, build trust, and get established on strong engineering teams, and finally, how to love life as a product manager on these teams!
Migrating from eRoom to SharePoint, A Success Story (Valy Greavu)ITCamp
Important amounts of information are circulating in big companies in order to conduct current tactical or strategic operations. Information systems implemented have a life cycle that provides functionality for a long time. However, from time to time current systems run outdated technology, so they must be replaced with others that provide more flexibility and functionality. The challenge is to ensure the transfer of data, information and functionality from an old system to another.
The subject of this presentation is to expose a success story in migrating data and information within the company OMV/Petrom, which involved the transfer of information content of the eRoom document management system to SharePoint 2010.
We detail the design stages of migration, triggering the process, its performance and the effective closure of the old platform. Each stage has a certain specific technical and managerial course also incidents that were successfully overcome in a project conducted over a year.

Microsoft "Automated Machine Learning" (AutoML) is an amazing toolkit now available on Azure that's really starting to ramp up.
In a nutshell, it is an automated service that identifies the best machine learning pipelines for labeled data ... it dramatically frees up time for experienced practitioners and gives a tremendous boost to in productivity engineers at the start of their ML journey.
ITCamp 2019 - Peter Leeson - Managing SkillsITCamp
Understanding skills is key to managing any organisation. Skills are not necessarily related to your job, your qualifications or your studies, they are related to what you can do and the responsibilities you have (or should have) within your organisation. Through a systematic and structured approach to understanding, analysing and classifying skills, the business can become more effective, staff has a better understanding of their roles and responsibilities, there is increased job satisfaction, and clear career and training progression plans can be defined.
ITCamp 2019 - Mihai Tataran - Governing your Cloud ResourcesITCamp
Not sure what Cloud DevOps means, or what a DevOps team should focus on? In this presentation you will understand how Governance of IT resources in the Cloud is different than on premises. We will discuss aspects like: resources security, cost monitoring and control, performance optimization and scalability improvements, policies and compliance - all with examples on Microsoft Azure.
ITCamp 2019 - Ivana Milicic - Color - The Shadow Ruler of UXITCamp
Color. It has the power to evoke emotions and empower the effectiveness of a product, but it also has the ability to ruin otherwise meticulously crafted user experiences. It often rules from the shadows, disguised as a purely aesthetic element and a mean of beautification. Let’s see how to overtake control and strategically use color in digital product development.
Product teams often fail to remember that color has an enormous impact on our response to visual stimulation during human-computer interaction. The most immediate and direct psychological impact on experiences is of course - color. With its complexity and various levels of subconscious effects, it triggers an emotional response.
Color doesn’t live in a vacuum, and we need to start considering it in the context of use. There are many aspects that we need to take into account: target audience and their potential visual impairments, cultural background and individual difference, previous experiences and memories, the physical environment of use and compliance with the brand.
In this talk, we will immerse into approaches and best practices that product teams should take for strategic use of color in their product design process. After a basic introduction to color theory and psychology (to make sure everyone is up to speed), we will elaborate in detail how even subtle differences in color schemes have a significant impact on interface perception and product success. We will show a series of interface examples we tested on various users and do some live testing on site as well.
Clean Architecture as a term is around for a while. However, the path to implement it is not always clear nor easy to follow. When projects fail for reasons that are primary technical, the reason is often uncontrolled complexity. The complexity goes out of hand when the code lacks structure, when it lacks Clean Architecture.
In this session, I will show how to achieve consistency by implementing Clean Architecture through structure, rather than relying on discipline only. We will look at some basic building blocks of an application infrastructure which will enforce the way dependencies are created, how dependency injection is used or how separation of the data access concerns is enforced.
ITCamp 2019 - Florin Loghiade - Azure Kubernetes in Production - Field notes...ITCamp
You played around with containers? You feel you can handle the adrenaline rush of publishing your containers in production? Well hold on there because there are some aspects you need to consider before you start rushing to production. How you will handle auto-scalling? What about updates / upgrades? Downtime of your app? Version 1 and Version 2? CI/CD? Etc.
This session is about deploying your services on containers using the Azure Kubernetes managed offering. You will learn about what problems you might encounter and how to handle them during your deployment journey, and we will cover the main features of Kubernetes and how they can be of use to you
ITCamp 2019 - Florin Flestea - How 3rd Level support experience influenced m...ITCamp
After being a 3rd level support guy for 2 years, my code changed in several ways. Why this happened? Is this change good? Should you care about this?
I will tell from experience how my code changed and in what ways so that you can prevent the same mistakes I did and how to make your days better instead of wasting time debugging and trying to understand what happened in production
ITCamp 2019 - Emil Craciun - RoboRestaurant of the future powered by serverle...ITCamp
Let's face it, our world will be taken over by robots, or at least our jobs as the scary ML & AI speculations seem to say. But until that day arrives, I want to take you on a hypothetical journey of designing and creating a fully automated restaurant of the future, where a fine tuned and efficiently orchestrated group of RoboChefs will cook your desired meal perfectly each time. And all of this is possible thanks to Actions, Timers, Monitors, Orchestrators, Sub-Orchestrators and more, all concepts from Azure Durable Functions, the real focus of this session, an extension to Functions that adds state, and which are part of Azure's Serverless Compute technologies.
ITCamp 2019 - Eldert Grootenboer - Cloud Architecture Recipes for The EnterpriseITCamp
Azure offers a wide range of services, with which we can build powerful solutions. But how do we know which services to choose, and how to combine them to create even better architectures? In this session, we will take a look at real-life scenarios and how we solved by leveraging the power of Azure.
Blockchain is one of the main legal tech trends today and, like any new technology, comes with strings attached. Issues like enforceability of smart contracts, performance risks, data privacy and compliance with various regulations in different jurisdictions are main legal concerns. The session will focus on the main legal risks by means of case studies and offer a hands-on approach for risk management in case of blockchain and architectures of distributed ledgers.
ITCamp 2019 - Andy Cross - Machine Learning with ML.NET and Azure Data LakeITCamp

Enhance your .NET apps with sentiment analysis, price prediction, fraud detection and more using custom models built with ML.NET
In this Session, Andy will show not only the core of ML.NET but best practices around Azure Data Lake and data in general when using .NET
ITCamp 2019 - Andy Cross - Business Outcomes from AIITCamp
Andy Cross, Director of Elastacloud, Microsoft Regional Director, Azure MVP and all round good guy, gives a session on how to successfully build or transform a business using AI technologies.
Over the last years, Elastacloud have delivered analytics projects to a variety of customers. The greatest challenges around AI are both technical and organisational. The existing landscape of process and strategy doesn't solve these challenges in combination, and the gap between causes friction and the failure of AI projects.
When modelling the outcome of actions that were informed by AI, possibly enacted by AI, the standard risk modelling approaches need to be transformed to include a factor that can change over time to represent the effectiveness of the AI solutions. Given that we should accept errors as part of the AI solution, and that errors are reinforcing of better future decisions, we need to project risk as a decreasing vector over time.
ITCamp 2019 - Andrea Saltarello - Modernise your app. The Cloud StoryITCamp
"App Modernisation" is such a buzzword you might end up thinking there's no such thing. That code just needs to be rewritten every "N" years, that existing apps couldn't take advantage of new platforms, technologies or frameworks. That all the fuss about "goin' cloud" is a fad. Let me tell why you might consider being wrong.
ITCamp 2019 - Andrea Saltarello - Implementing bots and Alexa skills using Az...ITCamp
Thanks to the recently released v4 of the Bot Framework SDK, creating your first bot is a breeze; still, implementing a production viable one is no easy task since several aspects must be taken into account such as user authentication, integration within existing apps, multi language support, technical considerations (e.g.: Azure Functions vs. MVC Core, Blob Storage vs. CosmosDB) and, last but not least, operational costs.
Moreover, you might want to reuse your bot’s Azure hosted, Cognitive Services-backed code to address Amazon’s Alexa users to avoid the need to implement (and evolve) it twice.
Eager to learn how to do that for real? Don’t miss this code-based talk then.
ITCamp 2019 - Alex Mang - I'm Confused Should I Orchestrate my Containers on ...ITCamp
'There are multiple ways to skin a cat' says a famous Chinese proverb. However, when it comes to container orchestration in Azure you might feel confused and overwhelmed due to the high number of services and available services.
During this pragmatic session, you get a better understanding of the pros and cons of either choosing Service Fabric or AKS for container orchestration.
ITCamp 2019 - Alex Mang - How Far Can Serverless Actually Go NowITCamp
You may have heard me talk about the capabilities of Azure Logic Apps and Azure Functions before, but now I'm taking it up a few notches! And this is mostly because a lot of things have changed over the past few months in terms of serverless and cloud-native applications.
Join me at this session during which you will get to do a deep dive with me on the ins and outs of Azure Functions when it comes to developer real applications, not just 'Hello, World's and the brand-new, top-notch Azure Service Fabric Mesh offering.
I will finger point each bad practice and the things you should avoid, but at the end of the day we'll have created a highly scalable, production-ready application. So, how far and how fast can we actually go... now?
ITCamp 2019 - Peter Leeson - Vitruvian QualityITCamp
Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, commonly known as Vitruvius, was a Roman author, architect, civil engineer and military engineer during the 1st century BC. He is known for his multi-volume work entitled “De architectura” and his discussion of perfect proportion in architecture and the human body, which led, among others to the famous drawing by Leonardo da Vinci called the “Vitruvian Man”.
Within the principles of “Vitruvian Quality”, we seek to find those perfect proportions and how to align all components of the business architecture in order to make them fit the human needs of the impacted stakeholders.
ITCamp 2018 - Ciprian Sorlea - Million Dollars Hello World ApplicationITCamp
This session might look like a joke, and it partially is.
On one hand it is a parody about how the most recent trends in industry can significantly increase the cost associated with launching an application (design, development, hosting & operations, etc).
However, it is also a live demo of how you can incrementally evolve your application to take advantage of all the cool technologies out there without needing the actual a million dollars.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
