The Covid19 has caused much of the economy to shut down, caused many people to work from home (while taking care of their kids!), and caused many people to rethink what they do and how they do it. The world is coming to an end. Or is it a great opportunity? Or both?
We’ll look at how finding purpose can help you face the future without fear and how personal agility can help find purpose of move forward despite the challenges around you.

Update! Ten Things to Tell Management About Scrum and AgilePeter Stevens
Last year, I shared 10 key points the leaders need to know about Scrum and Agile. Since then, I have worked on two transitions. What works, what doesn't, and how would I update the advice from last year?
Some of the things you do have meaning. Some don't. These six questions identify what has meaning for you and what doesn't. My talk at #AceConf 2018 in Krakow and for the Discuss Agile Group in May 2018.
Scrum and Personal Agility are simple frameworks for getting good at getting the right things done. Scrum is team-based framework, Personal Agility is an individual or pair-oriented framework. How are they similar? And how does Personal Agility help you in contexts where Scrum is not appropriate?
Personal Agility: From Personal Satisfaction to Professional ImpactPeter Stevens
Personal Agility is a simple, easy-to-use framework to help you figure out and do more of what really matters. Personal Agility connects what you do with who you are and who you want to be. Personal Agility is also a simple leadership framework to help you build alignment throughout your organization.
Do you have too much to do and not enough time to do it? This talk give answers, shares case studies, and shows how you can use this simple framework to do more that matters and less that doesn't!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
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:

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.

“Let’s make this project our best project ever!
Hey everyone, how are you doing here on Agile Island?
I am so glad to be back!
How's the cool-aid?
Great Stuff, huh?
I just got back from Waterfall Island – you see, there was this sinking ship that needed saving...
Since so many of us get called over there, I've been asked to share the contents of my Agile suitcase.
What do I use to save the ship?
One problem: They don't like cool-aid on waterfall Island.
“That may be cool in Colorado, but not here!”
So I don't tell them about the cool-aid.
So what do I bring instead? Questions.
Twenty powerful questions? Nope! I've only got 18 more slides.
The first time I went to waterfall island, the chief developer said to me,
I've been here since the beginning.
You're Project Leader number 5.
Why should I pay any attention to you?
You team's Emotions are the key to your success!
So how do you get them on board?
Note the use of the word, “we”!
I like to start with the ship, and the team's concerns…
There is a ship out there sinking.
It's our job to save it.
And someone is really desperate to have it saved.
Let's get agreement that we're here to save the ship
And focus on that!
What better way to get the team on your side
than to start addressing their issues?
We talked about our goals.
What is making them hard?
What can we do to make it easier?
The people on the project are experts!
They know where the issues are.
Help them and they'll help you.
Quick question for you: How many of you are working on your best project ever?
Quick show of hands
Quite a lot of you! Of course – you're doing Scrum!
How about that floundering team…?
Hardly any!
So this is my first impediment!
So I ask the team to share the stories of their best projects.
If we want this project to be more like our best projects,
What are the patterns we should emulate?
This list is pretty typical, especially the stuff on the left.
In fact, if you agree to do Scrum, this is what you should be able to achieve,
including the stuff on the right.
Uh-oh, I just mentioned the cool-aid....
Is this is a silly question, or what?
Scrum implements a couple of simple patterns:
Inspect and Adapt at regular intervals
Deliver stuff that works every sprint.
The whole team solves the problem
A coach helps the team perform better
One voice speaks for the customer
.
It's not cool aid. It's what we know works well.
So I always start with Scrum!
Who is going to be that one voice?
Well, who is feeling the pain?
Who is most worried about the ship?
Who's bonus will be cut if the project fails?
That's person I want as product owner.
Next I ask the PO where it hurts.
Arrah!!, it hurts everywhere!
The ship is sinking! Do something!
My first Product Owner was so frustrated,
any issue provoked a cry of pain!
What did I do?
Help him calm down so we could work constructively together.
You team likes problems.
So here is their first problem!
Some thing for them to work on
While I calm down the Product Owner.
If we are going to ship something, it has to be done.
What does it mean to be done?
How do we know it's done?
Now its time to go back to Product Owner
And talk about the ship.
When does it need to float? -- By Christmas.
What does that ship need to float? -- Everything!
OK… what should we do first?
Refurbishing the captains quarters!?
Why will that help the ship float?
“Why?” is a great tool for prioritization
Will an investment in performance give a return?
If everyone is under so much pressure,
that the answer is no,
maybe that ship is already sunk.. .
In which case, I can go home early.
I like to think of Scrum as a set of working agreements.
Things we do,
constraints we accept,
so we can be more effective.
What else can we do? Keep asking this question.
Small things add up!
This is how we improve performance with Scrum.
This is how we get happier teams.
Delivering something useful every two weeks can be a huge challenge.
Some may even ask why we need it…
Simple! So we can do it on demand.
This is where we start the conversation about engineering practices.
You won't deliver reliably without them!
How do you know the cool-aid is having it's effect?
How do you know it's real and not cool-aid?
Two signs:
Sticky notes everywhere!
Better morale (Getting closer to our best project!)
One team said, “But we're not allowed to put stuff on the walls! “
So we put stickies on around our screens. Waiting, working… done!
I guess we showed them – Ha!
Stickies and markers can be hard to find on Waterfall Island.
So I bring my own.
At least enough to get started.
We use them to make Information radiators ,
which help us go from
from politics to problem solving.
Saving ships is a hard job!
The danger is burning out.
Many of my colleagues have had health problems, weight problems, you-name-it problems...
I've had my share.
I always took my swimsuit with me.
Now I actually try to use it on every trip.
And.. sleep is important. My Tip: Sauna or Hot Tub!
How do I take care of my team?
Man! I have no idea!
I wish I had the answer the answer to this one.
Where's Lyssa Adkins when I need her?
Every team is different,
and sometimes even the “hero” needs to ask for help!
Nothing ruins a good coaching assignment like overstaying your welcome.
Sooner is later that boat is floating and your team has things under control.
It's OK.
It's time to go back to Agile Island.
Time to tank energy, and share stories!
My time is up, thank you for yours!
And see you in the open space…
