There is always much debate between different practices and methodologies which usually cascade into subjective opinions and preferences. In this talk we will explore some of the key principles behind Agile, Lean, Lean startup and traditional waterfall methods in context to the product domain you are working within. We will explore how iterative Agile and Lean delivery models benefit learning and exploration, whilst comparing the contextual application, risks benefits and pitfalls of different methodologies.
During this talk, I shared some insights on how we in the Product Lifecycle team use the Global Product Lifecycle to provide a lens into Product Strategy. This enables us to take a look closer into products in the portfolio and make decisions based upon Core, Adjacent and Transformational strategic decisions. At the practices level I also shared how Agile, Lean and Lean Startup are built into the product development practices and form the engine of product development.
Behind the product lifecycle I also shared how we are developing a strategic knowledge network across the organisation to empower the enabling functions to work together and contribute to the product lifecycle. This is a direct systems thinking strategy, utilising the specialists skills to surfacing a network of key partners and individuals. Through this network we are able to increase the organisational capabilities to innovate, share knowledge and reduce waste. All of this supports the open source structure we are applying in portfolio governance to truly embrace a learning organisation.
Digital transformation has and is still shifting the world we live in. Products are now living entities which require a more modern and innovative way to create and support products in enterprises. This presentation shares some insight how Pearson, the worlds largest learning company is adopting Agile and Lean at an enterprise level, whilst ensuring the learner and customer is at the centre. Embedding principles from Agile, Lean, Lean Startup, Beyond Budgeting and more,all of which is captured and embraced into the Global Product Lifecycle.
The global product lifecycle encompasses a range of principles which truly put the learner and customer at the centre. Using the Agile, Lean And Lean Startup principles, The product lifecycle focuses on learning fast through feedback with the customer and learner, and pulls together all the supporting capabilities behind the vision of a product. This includes looking at Agile beyond technology and considers how you fund and consider budgets, how can teams be rotated with HR to work on the next idea, how can the organisation improve innovation, the importance of culture and more.

Ken Durand, Ericsson, @atlideafactory
With all of the success of Lean in the startup community, this should be pretty easy to implement in the Corporate environment, right? After launching with very little to show in the way of success, the team in Ericsson’s Atlanta Idea Factory had to take a step back and evaluate what changes were necessary to implement Enterprise Lean Startup with success. One key principle had to be learned… People are an organization’s greatest asset, AND its greatest barrier to success.
This is a thought piece and call to action for product managers in the software industry. Leverages principles from Lean Startup, Agile, and other modern software methods.
In reaction to the current climate, many organisations have pushed pause on workplace learning programmes. But in reality, we cannot afford to put capability building on hold. Businesses are facing company-wide transformations or at a very minimum, re-skilling at business unit level in order to rebound and thrive in ever-changing markets.
Research shows that companies with effective capability-building programmes as an integral part of business transformation projects have higher rates of success than companies without. So how do you equip your marketing, sales and product management teams to maximise their commercial capabilities for a sustainable competitive advantage?

6 Gates to BUSINESS MODEL PROFITABILITY for Startups and Investors: Visually ...Rod King, Ph.D.
As the business landscape gets more and more competitive as well as volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous businesses especially startups are struggling to increase their profitability. This presentation offers a visual framework - the 6 Gates to Business Model Profitability - for systematically examining an organization's business model with a view to increasing profitability.
A hierarchy of 6 Gates of questions are presented for systematically exploring strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a business model. A Lean Business Model Canvas is presented as a tool for visually organizing, managing, and testing ideas for increasing profitability of a business model.
Note that topics of the "6 Gates to Business Model Profitability" can be used to evaluate a business model in terms of SWOT: Strengths; Weaknesses; Opportunities; Threats. Alternatively, one could assign a single numerical value on a scale from 1 to 10 regarding the different aspects of an organization's current business model.

Dream Viability Testing: Quickly and Cheaply Test the Viability of Your Dream...Rod King, Ph.D.
Consider this scenario which is a “Hollywood version” of a business case that I read several years ago in the book, “Discovery-Driven Growth,” by Rita Gunther McGrath and Ian MacMillan. The character, Bob, is a figment of my imagination.
Bob, a father of two young girls, was recently made redundant. Bob is desperate to pursue his dream business idea of owning an antique toy store. However, Bob is seeking advice on the best tool for testing the viability of his dream idea. The options at the top of Bob’s mind are as follows:
Option 1: INTUITION ("JUST DO IT")
Based on gut feeling and experience: rent store, buy antique toys, open store to public, and see what happens. Hopefully, monthly revenue from the sale of antique toys will be more than his monthly operating cost.
Option 2: TRADITIONAL BUSINESS PLAN
Spend 8 weeks attending an evening course on writing a (theoretical) business plan for the antique toy store. Thereafter, launch the project and open the antique toy store according to the schedule or “waterfall” of activities in the business plan.
Option 3: BUSINESS MODEL CANVAS/CUSTOMER DEVELOPMENT STACK
First, document the proposal (hypotheses) for the antique toy store using the tool of the Business Model Canvas. Then, according to principles of Steve Blank’s Customer Development methodology, “Get Out Of the Building” and talk to at least 50 prospective customers and other stakeholders. Test and validate/reject hypotheses for each of the 9 building blocks of the Business Model Canvas.
Option 4: LEAN STARTUP METHOD
Start by building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for the antique toy store. The objective is to rapidly learn about what works and what does not work regarding outcomes that customers want and can pay for. Rapidly use the iterative loop of “Build-Measure-Learn” to find problem-solution fit as well as product-market fit.
Option 5: DISCOVERY-DRIVEN PLANNING
The first step is to prepare a “Reverse Income Statement (RIS)” to check whether the opportunity or profitability of such an antique toy store is worthwhile. Also, the Reverse Income Statement would reveal “profitability-assumptions and hypotheses” of a business model that should be tested, validated, and/or rejected.
In your opinion, which of the above options would be best for Bob? And why?
My own recommendation is for Bob to use the methodology of Profit Model Analysis and Design (PMAD) for his task of Dream Viability Testing. PMAD is a seamless visual synthesis of the above tools. PMAD consists of three activities as follows:
#1: Visualize the desired profitability of your business model
#2: Design and test your value proposition model
#3: Launch and manage a scalable value creation model
For details of applying PMAD to the above case study, see http://goo.gl/2HAN00
So, once again, which option would be best for Bob in pursuing his dream business idea of owning and running his antique toy store?
A presentation of Agile for a group of Project Managers. Key point of discussion were why Agile, the Scrum framework, values and the transition/role of the traditional Project Manager in an Agile setup.

Inspirational Exercises for Your Career and Personal BrandFahri Karakas
In this seminar, we have a couple of activities aimed at improving your employability and personal brand.
First, we discuss your job application portfolio.
Second, we prepare our benchmarking table. In this exercise, you learn about brands at multiple levels (country brands, company brands, and individual brands). You choose 3 countries, 4 companies, and 4 individuals. You reflect on their success stories and brand power: What can you learn from these brands? How can you learn further? You create lessons and inspiration from these brands for your career.
Third, you create a business model canvas to create your own creative assets. You might use this activity to plan your asset creation strategies, such as creating your own YouTube channel, podcast, or Medium blog.
Fourth, you create a personal branding canvas to improve your employability. We go over a sample personal branding canvas exercise to illustrate how you can position yourself and your brand for the companies that you are applying for.
Best luck in your job applications.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.

Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.
Paketo Buildpacks : la meilleure façon de construire des images OCI? DevopsDa...Anthony Dahanne
Les Buildpacks existent depuis plus de 10 ans ! D’abord, ils étaient utilisés pour détecter et construire une application avant de la déployer sur certains PaaS. 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 ?

OpenFOAM solver for Helmholtz equation, helmholtzFoam / helmholtzBubbleFoamtakuyayamamoto1800
In this slide, we show the simulation example and the way to compile this solver.
In this solver, the Helmholtz equation can be solved by helmholtzFoam. Also, the Helmholtz equation with uniformly dispersed bubbles can be simulated by helmholtzBubbleFoam.
Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
Listen to the keynote address and hear about the latest developments from Rachana Ananthakrishnan and Ian Foster who review the updates to the Globus Platform and Service, and the relevance of Globus to the scientific community as an automation platform to accelerate scientific discovery.

38. YOUR PRODUCT IS NOT THE PRODUCT
1. It is important to realise that a product or service idea is not
sufficient for success.
2. You could have a good idea, but if you do not have a good
business model to support it, then your business will fail.
3. It is not enough to just have a good product, it must be
delivered to customers in a manner that is sustainably
profitable.
A lot of people focus too much on just the product.
4. But the same amount of effort needs to be put into developing
the business model.

43. EXPERIMENTATION - LEARN FAST
1. Pick riskiest assumption from Business Model Canvas
2. Brainstorm a few different tests, offline and online
3. Try to break the test into even smaller units of work
4. Choose test & define testable hypothesis
5. Set a goal (minimum success criteria)
6. Run the test (try to hit the goal)
7. Review results and make a decision
