The document describes two projects - one started by Ukrainian people to protect civil rights, and one started by a dictator to retain control over Ukraine. After three months, the people's project was completed while the dictator's project was not. The key factors that led to the success of the people's project were intrinsic motivation based on purpose, mastery, and autonomy, as well as management without managers through frameworks like Scrum and Kanban and tools like continuous integration and one-click deployments. In contrast, the dictator's project was motivated by money and anger and lacked effective management.

We perceive military organisations such as Navy seals or the army to be bureaucratic, command-and-control, top-down organisations - on some occasions resembling our traditional corporates, however, high-performing teams in the military apply leadership principles at all levels. The talk outlines these leadership principles required to create high-performing teams in any context using anecdotes and stories from authors such as Jocko Willken and David Marquet. Ultimately, individuals and teams need to take Extreme Ownership of what they do in order to drive success

FoMO-driven culture. What we can do to stay productive

Daiany Palacios

FoMO: Acronym for the “Fear of Missing Out” What’s the first thing you do in the morning at the office? You check your email. You can’t start working in peace unless you’ve reached Inbox zero. And still you need to keep Outlook, Lync and Slack open “just in case”. Have you ever wondered why it is like this? In principle, your company doesn’t expect you to have all these apps open. You should be able to design your working day as you want, as long as you deliver what you have to. But de-facto you are expected to be available. Even more when we talk about DevOps and so much collaboration is needed between teams that might even be geographically distributed. There seems not to be any other way! Unfortunately, such a “FoMO-driven culture”, is not healthy for your organization. It starts killing productivity when let out of control. In this talk we will be discussing some ways how to live with it, how we can keep it under control so that we can stay productive and not let it influence the DevOps culture in the wrong way.

Packer

Amit Thakkar

This document outlines a presentation about using Packer to automate the creation of machine images.

Project management in the age of accelerating change - IT/Tech specific

Luca Minudel

This document provides an overview of agile project management practices for traditional project managers. It discusses how the context for management has changed in an age of accelerating change, rendering traditional management tools and mindsets less effective. Agile principles emphasize problem-solution co-evolution, solution co-creation, and simplicity. Common agile practices like iterations in sprints and emphasis on working software aim to increase learning and reduce the cost of change. The roles of product owner, scrum master, and self-organizing teams are described. Information radiators like burn-up charts and team boards promote transparency.

@ScrumRio 2015 - Agile: The Power of I(n)teration

Xekin.org

This document discusses concepts related to agile, lean, scrum, and compound interest. It begins by providing background on Toyota's adoption of lean principles after facing bankruptcy, laying off most workers. This led to an approach where all workers were expected to think critically. The document then draws parallels between lean concepts like PDCA cycles and scrum ceremonies like planning and retrospectives. It argues that more thinkers and scrum teams means more opportunities for learning through iterative cycles. Finally, it notes that while money and value are different, value can be measured through metrics like customer satisfaction rather than solely financial metrics.

Scaling Agile without frameworks

Jose Manuel Beas

This document discusses scaling agile without frameworks and focuses on the limits of teams, products, and dependencies. It makes the following key points: Focus and independence are limits to scaling. Too many products per team or teams per product lead to loss of focus and coordination challenges. Dependencies between teams introduce risks to integration. Dividing products into independent sub-products and using techniques like Scrum of Scrums can help improve communication at scale. Release trains can synchronize teams but may slow overall delivery. Automating integrations is also suggested. While frameworks like SAFe and Nexus are mentioned, the document emphasizes checking with the Agile Manifesto and discovering what the product is through techniques like Lean Startup before
