New Deployment User Adoption Best PracticesSAP Ariba

The 7 Skills model helps IT projects to become more successful by addressing the key success factor of all teams: the soft skills of the team members. The model starts from two assumptions: (a) true success is a matter of good teamwork and (b) good teamwork is based on emotional interactions between individuals. The model is aligned along two axes: the ‘Customer facing’ - ‘Team facing’ axis and the ‘Problem facing’ – ‘Solution facing’ axis. In the center is ‘Communication’ as the fundamental skill that is the starting point for all interactions. Arranged around this core you find six key skills that are important for every IT project: ‘Empathize’ (customer/problem), ‘Explore’ (team/problem), ‘Collaborate’ (team), ‘Ideate’ (team/solution), ‘Tell’ (customer/solution) and ‘Sell’ (customer). The 7 Skills model serves as a road map to improve human interactions in development projects. To implement it, each skill has been substantiated by one or more simple but proven techniques. To mention some: communicate – Shannon-Weaver model; empathize – Personas; Explore – goal trees; Collaborate – Belbin team roles; Ideate – Wallas’ creativity model; Tell – storyboarding; Sell – Cialdini’s principles. These techniques of the 7 Skills model can easily be presented and explained. However, to make them work, one should exercise them. Therefore, a workshop is an excellent way to transfer the concept: you will learn most by actually doing it. In this workshop, you will work with other participants in a small team to design the outlines of a simple IT system. We will explain all techniques and give you some practical exercises with a challenging selection of them.
In this presentation, we will use a fast-paced, methodical approach to provide a full picture of what Agile is, how it works, who is using it and how you can use it. We’ll cover a lot of information, but will introduce, compare, and contrast concepts which encourage an objective picture based on your experience. Agile is not a panacea or a prescriptive methodology. At its foundation, it is a mentality and a way of working and managing work that permeates everything you do. We will discuss how that is and what that means in practical terms.

IIBA 2020 November - The Project Lab Masterclass: Shapeshifter BA in a Digita...AustraliaChapterIIBA
Ben Cashman from The Project Lab to discuss the skills & approaches needed as a new age business analyst in our changing digital world
About this Event
Overview:
You've heard a lot over the years of organisations moving from 'waterfall' ways of working to 'agile', with value expected to be delivered faster, through iterations of work rather than one fell swoop.
While the seasoned among us understand there is a place for both delivery methods, what does it really mean for a digital product world? A world that has proven recently that we can work effectively from home, and that many of the services we use as consumers can (and likely will) pivot to a digital product world. And more importantly how will this impact you, the business analyst expected to adapt and shapeshift your skills and approach in this fast changing world?
Presentation Value/Learning Points:
The Business Analysis Role - Do you have the skills to adapt?
How do I know which delivery approach works best for my organisation or project or client?
Business Analysis Ways of working
Business Analysis and Product Owners

Using Agile Principles to Deliver Real Business Value at ScaleEnterprise Knowledge
Delivering real business value from systems development efforts, even using agile approaches, turns out to be a formidable challenge especially in larger enterprises. Case studies of failed deliveries abound and too often reach general public notoriety. This talk shows organic paths to close gaps between business goals and actual systems development efforts by applying focused methods and processes already implicit in agile approaches. We will discuss use of scrums capable of sprint-speed definition of business objectives and value drivers and how to incorporate scrum and other agile techniques to the management of multiple team efforts in larger enterprises. Management tools and methods discussed include scrum team member selection for higher performance in targeted production. This presentation shows a simple and flexible approach to managing large enterprise systems development challenges successfully with key metrics and drivers defined via agile teams

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
