The Agile BA
This document provides an overview of key concepts for business analysis including organization structures, requirements gathering techniques like user stories, system use cases, and acceptance criteria. It also references agile principles like continuous improvement, self-organizing teams, and test-driven development. The document recommends specifying requirements through user stories and acceptance criteria rather than system use cases to avoid implying solutions and to give equal priority to customer and business needs. It also promotes more rigorous acceptance criteria using a "Given, When, Then" format.
Db workshop - art of story splitting and writting
This document provides information about a workshop on slicing and splitting stories to deliver value each sprint. The main audience is product owners and business analysts who want to help the development team understand requirements. The goals of the workshop are to teach participants how to write excellent user stories and acceptance criteria, apply definitions of ready and done, understand vertical slicing, and know how to split stories. The workshop covers topics like product statements, personas, core activities, storytelling, minimal viable products, product backlog items, user stories, vertical slicing, and splitting stories.
Agile Business Analyst - Huong Tran
The document discusses the role of a business analyst in agile projects. It begins by defining the business analyst and their role in understanding business problems and recommending solutions. It then contrasts the traditional vs agile business analyst, noting that agile BAs work iteratively to define requirements in small batches through collaboration rather than upfront documentation. The document also discusses the value of documentation in agile projects and provides examples of an agile requirements hierarchy and the INVEST model for defining requirements. It concludes by listing 8 steps to being an effective agile business analyst.
Product backlog
The document discusses the product backlog in Scrum, which is a prioritized list of features and functionality desired for a product. It notes that product backlog items (PBIs) should be progressively refined over time, starting broadly and becoming more detailed. PBIs need to be estimated, independent, negotiable, valuable, estimable, small, and testable. The product owner and team work together to refine and groom the backlog through activities like workshops, estimation, ordering by priority.

How to Disrupt Digital Product Cultures by LearnVest VP of Product
A big part of product management success is bringing various cultures together from people, process, and innovation. Vivek Bedi from LearnVest hosted the product and technology digital teams from Northwestern Mutual and LearnVest as they discussed over the past two years how they have brought two cultures together to come up with a bold, brave, yet balanced "third" culture.
The new culture is one of taking risks, being ok with failing, and focused on innovation while keeping focus on being at the center of clients' financial lives.

-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
GNSS spoofing via SDR (Criptored Talks 2024)
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdf
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
Containers & AI - Beauty and the Beast!?!
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
