This document discusses planning for agile projects with fixed requirements, schedules, or budgets. It introduces user stories and velocity as a way to estimate team capacity. The author explains how to use a team's historical velocity range to plan projects with fixed schedules or requirements. Teams can determine how many story points will likely be completed ("will have"), might be completed ("might have"), or won't be completed ("won't have") based on their estimated velocity range. The document also covers estimating velocity, tracking progress with burn down charts, and balancing expectations and risks for different project types.
This document discusses using agile principles and practices in government contracting. It proposes that customer collaboration over contract negotiation better serves agile values. It describes how some Norwegian government projects have incorporated elements of agile, like sprints and product backlogs, while still using traditional cost-plus contracts. The document suggests a model of competitive bidding between suppliers to deliver user stories could further foster collaboration over negotiation. Overall, it argues that Norway provides a starting point but there is still room for improvement in aligning contracts with agile principles.

Vimpi Juneja from Bank of Queensland gave a presentation on the future of banking and financial services. She discussed how data analytics provides a competitive advantage for financial institutions today and in the future. While most agree data is important, few institutions have achieved major revenue or cost improvements through analytics. Juneja outlined challenges like acceptance of data-driven insights, building capabilities, and overcoming biases to fully realize analytics value. Leadership is needed to guide the human aspects of effectively executing analytics strategies.
Emotional intelligence refers to being aware of one's own emotions and the emotions of others. It involves skills like self-awareness, managing emotions, and handling relationships. The document discusses emotional intelligence skills such as self-awareness, self-empowerment, communication, and conflict resolution. It provides characteristics of high and low emotional intelligence and concludes that developing emotional intelligence can help one feel comfortable and deal with stress and incompatible people or jobs.
ResolveTO - Dr. Andrew Maxwell: Corporate Innovation StageResolveTO
Dr. Maxwell has not met a senior leader in an organization who did not list innovation as a priority. Yet most struggle to increase the level of innovation activity in their organizations. Based on 15 years of research, he has observed that this is often because they focus on innovating, without first understanding and removing the barriers that stifle innovation. During this presentation, Dr. Maxwell will share and show you how to apply his unique Behavioural Trust Framework® (BTF), which you will be free use in your organization after the conference. He has found that leaders who use this framework to diagnose and address innovation barriers are able to rapidly increase innovation activities in their organizations.

Accelerate DevOps and Quality with IntegrationTasktop
This is the slide deck from our webinar with Jeff Downs, Principal Solutions Architect at Tasktop, and Gernot Brandl, Solutions Manager at Tricentis explaining and demonstrating the critical role of integration and automation when collecting defects from multiple sources, flowing defects round-trip to development for correction, and flowing requirements to test automation tools for efficiency and traceability.
The document outlines McKinsey & Company's problem-solving process and culture. It describes how McKinsey consultants use fact-based, structured approaches and the 80:20 rule to identify the key drivers of problems and focus their solutions. Consultants are taught to make their boss and clients look good, maintain confidentiality, and rigorously implement solutions. The growth model argues businesses should develop strategies based on operational skills, privileged assets, growth skills, and special relationships.
Big data and emerging technologies like the Internet of Things are causing an explosion in the amount of data available, which will reach 44 zettabytes by 2020. This "third platform" of cloud, social, big data, and mobility technologies is disrupting businesses and providing new opportunities for data-driven decisions and insights. Data analytics techniques like descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics can enhance productivity when applied to these large and diverse data sources.
Agile Contracts by Drew Jemilo (Agile2015)Drew Jemilo
Agile has moved far beyond commercial software into the world’s largest enterprises and government agencies. We have scaling methods which can help launch vehicles into the atmosphere and beyond, yet traditional contract mindsets have put a drag on escape velocity. But there’s good news! We have agile explorers discovering the next frontier of contract agility. Join us for this Agile2015 session and enter the new era! This era includes the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe®)
TRADITIONAL MODELS TO LEAN-AGILE APPROACHES
Fixed requirements, big up-front design, and gated processes have been the norm. The rationale seemed logical in the past. It would not make sense to award a contract or commit to a major development investment without knowing what the system is supposed to do, how much it costs, and when it will be completed. We assumed that complex systems could be fully defined before they were built, that requirements and solutions would not change, and that we could build it right the first time.
Traditional models exist but Lean-Agile contract approaches are gaining momentum in both the commercial and the U.S. Federal space. Find out more!
Are you being haunted by bad software lifecycle integration? Ask yourself:
* Is your team being drained by productivity vampires?
* Has your Agile or DevOps transformation turned into a zombie project?
* Are you caught in the spider web of point-to-point integrations?
* Do you know what monsters are lurking behind your tools' APIs?
Whether you've tried to build your own integration, suffer through lightweight integration solutions, or even manage without integrated tools, you know that building software without an integrated SDLC can be a real nightmare.
This spooky webinar covers some some serious issues facing software development and delivery teams. We'll share scary stories and arm you with the knowledge you need to keep the integration nightmares at bay.

Break Through Agile Transformation StagnationTasktop
Transformation to Agile at scale typically takes 1-3 years. There is a pattern of adoption that most companies go through that achieves initial gains, but tends to stagnate after the initial improvement. In order for true value delivery to significantly increase, a mindset shift that ties business strategy all the way down to the team level is required.
In this webinar, Tasktop VP of Industry Strategy, Betty Zakheim, and Net Objectives CEO, Al Shalloway, discuss the challenges causing Agile transformation stagnation and what must be done to solve them.

The document provides an overview of the underwriting process. It defines underwriting as evaluating risks to determine whether to provide insurance coverage. An underwriter's role is to evaluate applications, accept or decline risks, and determine contribution amounts. Sound underwriting is important for the success of the Takaful operator and equitable treatment of participants. The underwriting process involves establishing files, evaluating factors specific to the type of coverage, determining rates, and setting policy terms. Underwriters make decisions on whether to reject risks, issue substandard policies, standard policies, or preferred policies. They also monitor policies ongoing. Agents play an important role by gathering information to assist underwriters.

With the digitization of the insurance industry now fast underway, insurance companies are faced with the unique opportunity to leverage advances in technology to reclaim something of the bygone simplicity of the once trusted agent-customer experience, free from the mounds of paperwork, clunky technology, and complicated underwriting processes that have come to characterize buying insurance.
In this webinar, we will discuss how the insurance industry can re-imagine its own tradition of the agent-customer experience to usher in a new era of digital transformation built on trust, transparency and customer needs.

HfS Webinar Slides: The State of Outsourcing and Business Operations 2017HfS Research
View the webinar replay here: http://www.hfsresearch.com/webinars/state-of-business-operations-2017
The webinar will share the key findings of the State of Business Operations survey by HfS Research in conjunction with KPMG with 829 enterprise buyers, service providers, and advisor/consultants.
The outsourcing and shared services market has been in a seemingly endless state of flux for as long as HfS Research has existed – with the current market more confused than ever before, organizations struggling to cope with competing priorities, and confusion on the requisite timing and methods to best exploit new(ish) technologies such as process automation and evolving service delivery models.
We have seen the latest wave of change agents combine into the “digital” phenomenon, manifesting in a jumble of technology change and business drivers. Enterprises are being forced - more so than ever -to become increasingly customer-centric as they must respond to progressively complex online demands. This is driving investment in new technologies such as IoT, and analytics, and new ways of consuming, technology, and business process services – with software platforms encroaching on classic operational services.
Attend and learn:
- Changes to organizational operating and service delivery models
- The investments and directives driving operational change
- The use of shared services, outsourcing, global business services, and the impact of automation and offshoring on these service delivery models
- The maturity of business operating models linked to the use of alternative service delivery models and emerging technologies
- Adoption levels, challenges, and opportunities related to process and cognitive automation
- The effectiveness of outsourcing, above and beyond delivering cost savings, and impact on service provider selection
- Stakeholders’ current view on service providers and future expectations
- Organizational and operational talent challenges, shortages, and solutions, including automation
