Presentation given at Mile High Agile 2016 about how to modernize the portfolio planning and road mapping process to better fit with software product development planning.
If you’d like an alternative to typical, quarter-by-quarter, schedule oriented road mapping (and all the associated waste) then this session is for you. Matt Barcomb will introduce a Cadenced Flow approach to flow-based road mapping. He will first cover how to layout and execute a road map based on models that better fit software planning as well as how to transform your existing plans. Next, using options thinking to frame work will be explored and how to use starting and stopping triggers for options, reducing the need of blind budgeting or project practices. Finally, Matt will wrap up by touching on a few key metrics that will let you monitor and evaluate your new road map.
Does prioritizing your development portfolio seem unclear or mired in politics? Ever feel like the decisions for what gets worked on when are somewhere between arbitrary and emotional? Ever get tired of providing cost estimates for work of uncertain value? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, this session is for you! Matt Barcomb will open with introductory concepts about shifting from a cost focus to a value focus for development work. Next, providing business value for user stories will be debunked. Then, a collaborative framework for prioritization, Benefit Mapping, will be discussed. Finally, Matt will end with ways to simplify the cost evaluation of work and risk.

Data teams know that a machine learning prototype in Jupyter Notebook is still far from being a deployed product. This summer, our team won the AI challenge of Rotterdam.ai with Reviewscan, a new product that unlocks data value of online reviews with AI. Since then we have moved beyond prototyping, validating our business proposition and building an automated pipeline using GCP. In this talk, I will explore what it takes to build a ML-product by giving a demo of the Reviewscan API. I will also discuss what challenges are faced when operationalising machine learning.

Counter Intuitive Machine Learning for the Industrial Internet of Things:
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the infrastructure and data flow built around the world’s most valuable things like airplane engines, medical scanners, nuclear power plants, and oil pipelines. These machines and systems require far greater uptime, security, governance, and regulation than the IoT landscape based around consumer activity. In the IIoT the cost of being wrong can be the catastrophic loss of life on a massive scale. Nevertheless, given the growing scale through the digitalization of industrial assets, there is clearly a growing role for machine learning to help augment and automate human decision making. It is against this backdrop that traditional machine learning techniques must be adapted and need based innovations created. We see industrial machine learning as distinct from consumer machine learning and in this talk we will cover the counterintuitive changes of featurization, metrics for model performance, and human-in-the-loop design changes for using machine learning in an industrial environment.

ML Products have become a prolific and integral part of taking the insights of Data Science from theory to reality. Oddly though, the path from conception to implementation is often unclear with seemingly few similar examples to work from. The result is often a sea of agony between sliding deadlines, heroic efforts of people working though unforeseen challenges and haphazard innovation. Each time a beautiful model makes its impact on the business bottom line, something worked. In this talk we present the ML Playbook. It pulls together the best aspects from a variety of successful ML Product launches into a cohesive strategy to Plan, Build, Test, Learn, and Release ML Products. We'll demonstrate the ML Playbook in action with the story of launching an alert monitoring product for the world's most powerful jet engines, the GE90-115B.

With the drive for continuous integration and delivery, the implications and approaches for designing more testable software are receiving substantial discussion and debate. What does testability really mean in practice? How do you take the idea of testability—how easy it is to test software—and put it into action through the different dimensions of designing and testing a real-world product? Nir Szilagyi recognizes that the challenges of difficult-to-test software can transform a testing cycle from a small automation and exploratory effort to a long struggle of test preparation, execution, and debugging. He says testability starts with software design, goes through implementation, and encompasses building modular software, abstraction, simplicity, clear data interface, separation of business logic into self-sustained entities, and more. On the technical side of testability, Nir explores ways quality engineers and leaders can influence testability from early development through deployment. From his experiences Nir shares real-life testability examples which touch on the human process of building software including the relationship between testers and developers.

Business Applications of Predictive Modeling at Scale - KDD 2016 TutorialQiang Zhu
Predictive modeling is the art of building statistical models that forecast probabilities and trends of future events. It has broad applications in industry across different domains. Some popular examples include user intention predictions, lead scoring, churn analysis, etc. In this tutorial, we will focus on the best practice of predictive modeling in the big data era and its applications in industry, with motivating examples across a range of business tasks and relevance products. We will start with an overview of how predictive modeling helps power and drive various key business use cases. We will introduce the essential concepts and state of the art in building end-to-end predictive modeling solutions, and discuss the challenges, key technologies, and lessons learned from our practice, including case studies of LinkedIn feed relevance and a platform for email response prediction. Moreover, we will discuss some practical solutions of building predictive modeling platform to scale the modeling efforts for data scientists and analysts, along with an overview of popular tools and platforms used across the industry.
Page-Object pattern is very commonly used when implementing Automation frameworks. However, as the scale of the framework grows, there is a limitation on how much reusability really happens. It inherently becomes very difficult to separate the test intent from the business domain.
I talk about this problem, and the solution I have been using - Business Layer - Page-Object pattern, which has helped me keep my code DRY.

Want better products and more business value design better organizations!Matt Barcomb
The world is becoming smaller, faster, and more distributed. Can traditional organization designs continue to generate business value for the long term? If not, can we design better organizations that will?
It seems many organizations try to change to keep up, but often these changes fail to stick or don’t achieve the intended outcome. This happens when changes only target processes and practices and do not address the deeper, fundamental aspects of an organization’s design such as structure, rewards, and inclusionary behaviors.
But changing the fundamental aspects of an organization’s design can be challenging due to their complexity and lack of visibility. This session introduces practices such as Org Net Mapping, Visual Reward Analysis, Customer-centric Value Mapping and others. These practices will help you visualize the fundamental aspects of an organization’s design. And visualization is the first step in creating better organization designs.
A systems approach to modern leadership - Agile CymruMatt Barcomb
Many organizational change initiatives fail due to lackluster leadership support. This should not surprise us as we often find that just below the surface nothing has changed. We should not expect organizations to transform if we don't design an ecosystem that allows emergence and growth to thrive.
The future of leadership lies in the ability to cultivate this ecosystem. Modern leaders need to facilitate continuous change by seeing their organization as a system while simultaneously embracing uncertainty.
Attendees will leave this session with the ability to facilitate pragmatic practices they can use immediately to apply fundamental concepts about systems and uncertainty.
First, rethink quality as value to a consumer. Then realize that flow of product quality is simply a reflection of organization design. Last, show how to influence org design through systems thinking and generalist learning.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
