Agile Scaling - 3 Factors For Success
Video and slides available at https://www.kaizenko.com/washington-dc-scrum-user-group-dcsug/
Have you ever thought to yourself...
• How can we make Agile Scaling less of a goal itself and more of a method to get our organizational goals?
• We know we need to scale but where do we go from here?
I'll share the three factors that emerged as common themes throughout my experience working on government Agile Scaling projects that ultimately impacted the trajectory of each agency's Scaling journey:
• Communicate vision consistently
• Focus on your people genuinely
• Create your own path intentionally
Regardless of the agency acronym or the frameworks used, these concepts shaped their Scaling outcomes.
So, whether you are working in the government, commercial or the non-profit space, these concepts can help you take your organization to the peak of its Agile Scaling journey.
Agile lessons from Antarctica by Julie Wyman
On March 12, 2021, Julie Wyman presented on "Agile Lessons From Antarctica" at the DC Scrum User Group.
Video and slides at https://www.kaizenko.com/agile-lessons-from-antarctica-responding-to-change-over-following-a-plan-by-julie-wyman-at-the-dc-scrum-user-group-dcsug/
Abstract
I spent January 2018 in Antarctica hanging out with penguins, whales, and seals. It was about as different from my day-to-day work as an Agile Coach as can be. And yet, on my long flight home, I couldn’t help but reflect on how well my trip aligned with one specific value of the Agile Manifesto: “Responding to change over following a plan.”
I think it’s a common misconception that there’s no need to plan in Agile. And while this isn’t the case, specific approaches to planning do change—from big upfront design to a “just enough” approach. The act of planning still holds great value when it occurs at the right level, but in Agile we accept that many things will change and we’ll need to remain flexible to respond to them. If we’ve planned well, we’ll go into those changes with a clear sense of our goal and how to still achieve it under the new circumstances.
Nowhere is this truer than in Antarctica. Throughout the session, I’ll share six specific takeaways about change and planning that I brought back from my trip. I’ll share how my trip to Antarctica drove home why we need both planning AND, even more importantly, the ability to respond to change and how these real-life, non-software examples of responding to change can serve as great reminders to bring back to more typical work environments, including software development. And after being stuck in Antarctica six days longer than planned, I'll share why my biggest takeaway of them all was increased empathy for team members struggling with dynamic situations!

Agile in Government - Presented at Pacific NW Digital Government Conf 2013
The document discusses adopting agile practices in government organizations. It outlines some of the benefits of agile such as speed to delivery, visible progress, and flexibility. However, it also notes challenges specific to government in adopting agile approaches like contracting limitations and lack of trust in iterative processes. The document emphasizes that culture change is needed and suggests taking small, iterative steps like training, coaching, and peer groups to help reinforce a new, more adaptive culture over time. Success requires recognizing both the benefits of agility and challenges of cultural transformation.
Clarity First: Purpose and Priorities
This document provides information about organizational clarity and strategy deployment. It includes links and summaries of books and resources on clarity, as well as descriptions of the five Ps (purpose, priorities, process, performance, problem solving). There are also explanations and examples of strategy deployment phases and tools, including developing a strategy deployment plan, gaining consensus through catchball, and key features like alignment, focus, consensus, execution, visual management and results.
Getting to better problems
Ever feel discouraged by the impediments, setbacks, and struggles that come from leading change? If you created a backlog to address each challenge, would it seem a mile long? Allison and Tim share the improvement kata model so you can lead groups in focusing on the next problem to solve and owning change for themselves. Continuous improvement is a journey rather than a destination. Come hear examples of how an improvement kata approach has enabled change at the team and organizational levels through small actions. Learn how you can apply katas in your organization.
Can GIS be Agile?
This document discusses how geographic information systems (GIS) projects can adopt agile methodologies. It provides an overview of agile concepts like iterative development, self-organizing teams, and delivering working software frequently. The document explains how GIS projects involve similar elements to software projects like requirements, design, implementation, and maintenance. It then offers practical advice for implementing agile practices in a GIS context, such as defining user stories, estimating efforts, and tracking progress through burn down charts and velocity metrics. The goal is to help GIS teams work in a more iterative and collaborative way to continuously improve.

Working Beyond Boundaries (The Way We Work summit 2015)
The document discusses achieving the objectives of TW3 (Transforming Working, Workplace and Working Practices), which involves public sector organizations significantly reducing their building estates through a step change in approach beyond just co-locating. This requires optimizing public service design/delivery models, transforming working practices and behaviors, and repurposing the way organizations work. The document outlines components needed for sustainable transformational workplace change, including vision/engagement, incentives, tools, outcomes, and embedding the changes through various stages of engagement.
Why agile is failing in large enterprises
Agile works. We get it. You don’t have to sell people on the underlying principles anymore. Even so, many large-scale agile transformations are struggling. Some have failed. Others can’t figure out why things aren't working after multiple attempts. It’s easy to blame the people, the process, and the culture. And it’s especially easy to blame management. However, the underlying problem is that most large organizations weren’t built to be agile. You need a way to safely and pragmatically refactor your company into an organization that can adopt agile and sustain the transformation. Mike Cottmeyer introduces a framework for understanding the type of company in which you work, its delivery constraints, and likely challenges you’ll face in your agile transformation. Mike shares a strategy for establishing an end-state vision and operational model to guide your transformation. Finally, he defines an approach for incrementally introducing change, measuring outcomes, and sustaining those changes.

Jan de Vries - How to convince your boss that it is DevOps that he wants
- We all know that we could implement DevOps a lot faster if we only would have commitment from our boss. We all know that there is a shiny business case for almost every DevOps implementation
- And we all know that the whole company will reap the benefits regarding speed, agility and stability once we implemented DevOps. Actually, it provides good, fast and cheap at the same time. So, what are we waiting for? What is your boss waiting for? What is C-level waiting for?
- That’s something we will do research on in this workshop. We will also share our research on this from the recent past.
- The workshop starts with a presentation about 7 practices that a company should adopt to be able to apply DevOps.
- The technique that we use is called Appreciative Inquiry. To tackle a problem, it discovers the best practices that work, the reason they work and how these combined practices can be used to avoid the problem ahead and create a strategic change. The aim is to build – or even rebuild – organizations around what works, rather than trying to fix what doesn’t.
- So we want to know what your boss is afraid of and what you have already tried to convince him that he is better off with DevOps. You will leave the workshop with the combined Appreciative Inquiry insights of all the attendees

Blitzscaling
This document discusses the concept of blitzscaling, which refers to rapidly scaling a business in the face of uncertainty. It covers the basics of blitzscaling, including its defining characteristics and 5 stages of scaling a company. It also discusses techniques for blitzscaling like business model innovation, strategic innovation, and management innovation. Specific strategies covered include leveraging network effects, copying successful models, and determining when to stop blitzscaling. The document also outlines 8 key transitions companies face when scaling, such as shifting from generalists to specialists and from inspiration to data-driven decision making. Finally, it provides counterintuitive "rules" for blitzscaling and discusses developing an adaptive culture.
Devops 4 Saas
Devops is not a new concept, but rather a growing movement that aims to break down barriers between development and operations teams. It promotes automating processes, measuring outcomes, and sharing knowledge across teams. The goals are to speed up delivery of features, improve reliability and safety, and make customers, developers and operations staff happier. Central to devops is adopting a culture of collaboration between teams through practices like continuous integration, infrastructure automation, and enabling fast and reliable software deployments.
Project oz - using Jira to manage a move from the UK to Australia
Project Oz was Matthew Cobby's effort to track the many tasks involved in moving his family from London to Melbourne, Australia using Jira. Key tasks included finding a new home, resigning from his job, planning holidays, shutting down their life in London, becoming landlords, and shipping their belongings. While initially trying sprints and Kanban boards, versions focused on fixed events worked better given the unpredictability. The full agile approach proved too heavyweight, but standups were still useful. Ultimately, Jira provided more functionality than needed, and a simpler collaborative task tracker may have sufficed, but Matthew is a "Jira nerd." He continues exploring using Jira for personal projects like family outings.
London Atlassian User Group Keynote - June/July 2014

Practical Continuous Deployment - Atlassian - London AUG 18 Feb 2014
The document discusses practical approaches to implementing continuous deployment. It describes converting an organization's internal systems to continuous delivery and deployment over six months to address integration issues. Continuous deployment aims to release features, not unfinished work, through automation that makes releasing repeatable. Stakeholders benefit from faster delivery of features to customers and clearer progress signals. The document outlines a development workflow involving tracking requests, branching per feature, automated testing, code reviews, merging to a release branch, and deploying to staging and production. It also addresses challenges of automation and coordination across servers for the "last mile" of deployment.
Advanced Agile Workflow - Dione Technology
Dan Petzen presented on the story of a basic Agile workflow and how he discovered SIL (Simple Issue Language) while working with a client's DevOps team to help them improve their use of JIRA. SIL allows automation of workflows through post-functions, validators, listeners and services using a simple scripting language. He demonstrated how SIL can be used to automatically transition subtasks and parent issues based on their status. Further testing and implementation was planned before full production use.
Atlassian Tools in Selfridges
This document summarizes Atlassian's use of project management and collaboration tools at a large UK retail store. It outlines how tools like JIRA and Confluence are being used for project tracking, resource management, defect tracking, release management, backlog management and more across various teams. It also describes how the retailer has transitioned to more agile ways of working, moving from waterfall projects to iterative development with tools that support features like automated testing and more frequent code releases. Finally, it provides statistics on tool usage and plans to expand usage to additional teams.
Deploying atlassian tools in the enterprise - Dione Technology
The document discusses deploying Atlassian tools in enterprise environments. It describes the challenges of managing environments and delivering changes. The presented solution uses Maven plugins to package applications, configuration files, and scripts into RPMs. Environments like production, staging and development are then provisioned using bash scripts that install RPMs and refresh databases from backups. Automating deployment in this way allows for faster, more consistent provisioning of environments.

Revolutionizing Application Development
with AI-powered low-code, presentation by George Aspiotis, Sr. Partner Development Manager, Microsoft
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
