The document provides guidance on properly writing obstacles for Toyota Kata. It explains that obstacles should be written as facts and data rather than vague descriptions, and should include a negative result or question to be addressed. Examples of poorly written obstacles are given, such as those written as to-do lists or statements of blame. The correct way to write obstacles is demonstrated, including providing the fact, data, and negative outcome, as well as how the obstacle can be measured. Writing obstacles in this way helps define clear PDCA experiments.

Dealing with Estimation, Uncertainty, Risk, and CommitmentTechWell
Software projects are known to have challenges with estimation, uncertainty, risk, and commitment—and the most valuable projects often carry the most risk. Other industries also encounter risk and generate value by understanding and managing that risk effectively. Todd Little explores techniques used in a number of risky businesses—product development, oil and gas exploration, investment banking, medicine, weather forecasting, and gambling—and shares what those industries have done to manage uncertainty. With studies of software development estimations and uncertainties, Todd discusses how software practitioners can learn from a better understanding of uncertainty and its dynamics. In addition, he introduces techniques and approaches to estimation and risk management including utilizing real options and one of its key elements—understanding commitment. Take away a better understanding of the challenges of estimation and what software practitioners can do to better manage estimation, risks, and their commitments.
Your company is ignoring the news: SQL Server 2008 and 2008R2 are officially out of support as of today, but nothing's changing at your company. You still have SQL Server 2008 in production, and you're a little nervous. How should you approach the conversations with management? Brent Ozar will help: he's been there too, fighting managers who want to leave an old server hiding in the corner. We'll role play: you be the manager, and Brent will show his techniques for convincing management to take the plunge and move to a newer SQL Server version.
In a whiteboard interview, your goal should be to convince the manager that you will be a positive influence on the team and contribute to the team's success. This guide will help you set the right mindset, ask the right questions, and showcase your strengths.

User Story Cycle Time - An Universal Agile Maturity MeasurementEthan Huang
Trying to define a comprehensive CMMI like Agile Maturity Model?
If you're running all Scrum meetings but cannot deliver every sprint, you're not agile at all, if you don't follow any Scrum format but you're delivering small features every couple of weeks you're still Agile - deliver the highest value in the shortest time.
User Story Cycle Time - one universal Agile maturity measurement you might be able to use in your Organization cross different teams.
Have you heard of TDD? Are you interested or familiar with this practice but have never been able to understand it?
In this presentation we will see the benefits of Test-Driven Development (TDD), understand how it works and what the benefits are of using it. We will see in a more detailed approach this way of developing software, where our software is always built guided by tests.
We will go over some history about TDD, which is the main process we must follow when we work with this mechanic and the rules that surround it. We will also list the main advantages and disadvantages that most developers who practice TDD find and whether the arguments in favour add up to more than those that subtract. Finally, we will review some good habits and practices when applying TDD and see how to do it step by step with an example of "live" coding session with Java.
At the end of the session, we hope that you will have a wider understanding of what TDD is, what advantages it brings, why it is interesting to master it and also that you will take with you some tricks and good practices to be able to apply them in your day-to-day life when writing code
Lean Kanban India 2017 | Damn… we missed the date again! | Sudipta LahiriLeanKanbanIndia
Session Title : Damn… we missed the date again!
Session Overview:We have experienced the embarrassment of missing our planned dates. Ironically, this cycle doesn’t end with one instance. We re-commit to another date and miss than again! We are all experienced people, we have been in this business for a long time. Why then do we keep missing our dates again and again?
Scrum makes a sincere attempt in changing this pattern. By making the team estimate how much it can deliver within a Sprint and by mandating that the team should be not be disturbed with changing scope within a Sprint, it attempts to increase the probability of hitting the dates. Yet, it isn’t uncommon for teams to be burnt out by the time the Sprint ends OR for unfinished scope spilling over to the next Sprint.
Clearly, something is wrong at the core. Why is this so difficult? Is it reasonable to keep blaming the team or the people managing the project? This experience isn’t the exception! It is the norm in most teams.
In this session, we discuss what is wrong at the core. What are we missing in our planning? If this does not work, what will? Does Kanban have a solution for this?
At the end of this session, you should be able to learn how not to fall into this trap again!
