User Story Maps: Secrets for Better Backlogs and PlanningAaron Sanders
User story mapping is an intuitive way to build and organize a product backlog. During this session you’ll get hands-on experience building a user story map. You’ll learn:
How story mapping drives productive conversations with users and stakeholders.
How to plan incremental releases of your product using minimal holistic slices that deliver value at each product release.
Secrets to effective prioritization for both planning releases, and figuring out what to build next.
Tactical management of your backlog as you grow your working software to releasability.
The backlog building and managing strategies in this session will take you well beyond the agile basics.
Creating a backlog of user stories is pretty straight forward but it doesn't help you when it comes to decisions like what to build first, how to prioritize and groom the backlog, how to scope and plan the project, and how to visualize progress. The traditional backlog is simply too flat and often too long to help you see the bigger picture and make good decisions. User Story Mapping helps simplify all of these common project issues. By adding a third dimension to your backlog, your team will make better decisions about priorities, scope, and planning while improving your ability to visualize progress.
In this practical session I’ll cover the basics of user story mapping before walking you through case studies of how our teams are using this approach and the results we are achieving. I'll show you the before, during, and after pictures from several projects so that you can understand how our maps progress during the projects and how we use them to influence iterative development, promote good decision making, and visualize priorities, plans, scope and progress.
Writing Good User Stories (Hint: It's not about writing)one80
User stories are typically the foundation of the Product Backlog. However, the original purpose has been lost. This is from a presentation that was given to help remind everyone of what User Stories are, and what they aren't. The purpose of User Stories is to drive conversations, not to hand "requirements" from one group to the next.

User Story Mapping (USM) is a top-down approach of gathering "requirements" in agile environments.
"A user story map arranges user stories into a useful model to help understand the functionality of the system, identify holes and omissions in your backlog, and effectively plan holistic releases that deliver value to users and business with each release (from Jeff Patton's The New User Story Backlog Is a Map)."

Lean Startup + Story Mapping = Awesome Products FasterBrad Swanson
To deliver the right outcomes, you need to learn your customers needs and validate your assumptions as early as possible. This means getting an early version of your product completed to start testing, validating and improving. This session will demonstrate how to combine Lean Startup and User Story Mapping techniques to determine where to start and how to learn early and often.
Participants will start with a partially completed Lean Canvas to flesh out and then define a product roadmap by building a Story Map. We will use Lean Startup concepts of Minimal Viable Product (MVP) and validated learning to focus on outcome over output.
Learning objectives:
Understand the importance of accelerated learning and techniques to achieve it
How a Lean Canvas can help shape your product vision and MVP
How to build a story map to create a product roadmap
How to use a story map to validate your users' journey

Scrum XP è sempre più la metodologia di riferimento per i team e alcuni concetti sono divenuti di uso comune per chiunque operi nel mondo dell’IT (sia piccole realtà sia grandi aziende). Tra questi spiccano termini come user story e Product Backlog.
L’utilizzo delle user story ha sempre più spesso rimpiazzato i tradizionali documenti di specifiche funzionali e gli use case, mentre il Product Backlog è diventato lo strumento per tracciare tutto ciò che riguarda la realizzazione di un Prodotto.
Eppure entrambi hanno una serie di punti deboli. In questo talk mi concentrerò da una parte sulla difficoltà di avere un quadro completo ed evoluto a partire dal Backlog che è aihme piatto e mono dimensionale e dall’altro parlerò di cosa vuol dire veramente avere un approccio iterativo e incrementale nello sviluppo di un sistema.

Esri Story Maps combine authoritative maps with narrative text, images, and multimedia content.
They make it easy to harness the power of maps and geography to tell your story.
User story mapping is a technique popularized by Jeff Patton that will cause you to revoke your membership in the Flat Backlog Society. A user story map allows you to see the big picture in your backlog; acts as a visual project plan; provides a technique for gathering scope and stories fast; supports better user story slicing, prioritization, and scoping; and helps you to build the right thing first. In this session you will find out what a user story map is and how to create one with your team immediately after the conference.
SkyBIM Cloud based management & real-time costing of BIM projectsSkyBIM
Collaboration is coming to the building industry. It’s a monumental shift that promises speed and efficiency. A shared building model which digitally captures ALL project information and makes it available to the entire project team throughout the lifecycle of the building is widely seen as the Next Big Thing in design and construction. The one who controls the project information will be at the center of the building enterprise.
SkyBIM is a cloud-based platform to host all the information collected throughout a building's lifecycle to optimise the way buildings are designed, costed, constructed, and managed.
Since projects are securely hosted in the cloud, multiple members of the project team can simultaneously collaborate on an estimate. Whether you are the architect, estimator, contractor or owner - you can view a project’s latest takeoff quantities, edit product costs, create construction assemblies and print reports.
SkyBIM can provide massive automation in the real-time management and cost estimating of chain stores. Once we have configured and costed one store, the rest are essentially automatic.
If you are involved with Revit projects that are chain-store based (Subway, Chipotle, Starbucks, WalMart, Woolworths, McDonald's, etc) or have a high degree of repetition, please contact marek@skybim.com

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
