[Agile Portugal 2014] - Agile Decision Support System for Upper Management - ...Pedro Henriques
The "life" of a company is the sum of its decisions. Hasty decisions can be disastrous, late decisions could mean loss of opportunity, but these decisions have to be made. Therefore it is important to have a tool that assists in decision making.
The main focus of this talk is to show the importance of support to decision making, understand the importance of risk and impediment management in agile environments and to present an approach to identify actions to mitigate risks and solve impediments based on Agile Community Knowledge.

Process and flows of an IT Project - presentation.pdfCasey Ordoña
Webinar Session (New Era University, College of Information Science & Tech) - Process and flows of an IT project - 2022 Apr 08
attended by 280 students.
Objective: Provide students an overview of how IT Projects advance today's real world.
Get a head-start and effortless transition as you join an organization.
INTRO
Understanding the process and flow of an IT Scheme will enable you to know your advantage in project development. Project Managers, IT Leads, and C-Level Executives expect your best foot forward when joining a company. Obj: Provides students a top-level view on how an IT project moves in the real world in order to get a head-start and easy transition as you join a the working world.
I know that most of you are graduating students or nearing the internship programs, some of you might be in between or are considering becoming a freelancer which is a smart move considering the advent of the remote work in the “new normal” then you will certainly benefit from this topic.
My favorite thing abt my work is simplifying complex information.
So I divided the phases and flows into 5 levels
Now keep in mind, it can be as extensive depending on the complexity of an IT proj but this is roughly the breakdown of each stage.
Let’s have a look at:
- what happens in each phase
- what are the processes and tools are,
- who are involved/ ppl you’ll be meeting,
- what you should do and how you can be useful!
Project success requires the creation of a suitable project execution and schedule plan, communication of that plan to all participants and stakeholders and ensuring the plan is executed. Successful project management means meeting all three goals (scope, time, and cost) – and satisfying the project’s sponsor!

Project Plan Development - A FlackVentures Training ExampleKate Pynn
Project planning is the construction of a dynamic agreement across diverse functional groups involved in a project. This agreement specifies:
Goals and deliverables of the project
What is being developed
Major activities that will be performed to achieve those goals
The assumptions that were made
Major risks, as they become known
Expectations from IT Team

On Thursday 16th October 2014, John Chapman and Andrew Gray presented at the APM Project Management in Practice Event, where the subject area was an Introduction to Programme Management.
Theirs was an interactive session where John provided the theoretical side of programme management, whilst Andrew explained how this worked using a real life example from the UK MOD where a Programme Management approach was adopted using the Managing Successful Programmes (MSP) framework.
The Programme Lifecycle gave a structure to the presentation covering seven areas
1. What is a programme?
2. Why do a programme?
3. What makes up a programme?
4. How do we run a programme?
5. Who is in the programme?
6. When does a programme end?
7. What challenges are faced?
It was important to show how Programme Management called upon the specialisms from the other Specific Interest Groups.
An example of this relates to Benefits Management. Early on in the programme the questions to be asked, and answered, include:
1. Is there a vision of a change future?
2. Is this a shared single vision?
3. Is it in line with what is needed?
4. What are the benefits to be gained?
5. Who benefits, what do they benefit, how much benefit, when do they benefit?
Andrew commented that an important area to consider was the area of stakeholder management. With a high profile programme, there are many diverse stakeholder groups and interfaces including
• An external advisory group
• Local representatives and committees
• Regulators & policy holders
• UK & Scottish governments
• Press coverage
• Wide ranging public consultations
Consultation and communication (two way) would then provide inputs and influences to the decision making process within the Programme.
At the end of the presentation Andrew noted the lessons learned (so far) on the adoption of a programme management approach as:
A Programme Management approach is not for everything
- Split change element of the objectives from long-term business as usual
Bring clarity & focus
- Projects need to know how they fit into ‘big change picture’
Get senior commitment
- Have the approach endorsed by the Programme Board
Co-ordinate stakeholder engagement
- Communications must be co-ordinated and consistent across the projects
Scale the management investment that is needed
- Do not swamp with bureaucracy
Efficient pooling of resources
- A small programme team benefits from pooling common central activities
Cope with geographically dispersed team
- Programme Management approach is the glue to hold things together
There are many challenges that are faced by the business world today on how to manage your business goals and strategies in a market that is both dynamic and moves very quickly. Within both the technology and business sectors change is constant and the question that one asks is how do you manage this effectively. This presentation shows how a digital project may be managed
DevOps, SAFe and critical information bearers: A practical approach for plann...Bosnia Agile
A lot of enterprises have successfully adopted agile practices and are now challenged by the questions: How do we scale it? How will we know what is going on in development, product management and deployment? How do we know that we develop according to business priorities? How do we make the quicker development cycles lead to faster market response and more frequent releases? To answer these some companies have turned to a DevOps approach and use concepts like the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). Join us in this session to look at the critical information bearers in such a setup and how information from business planning, portfolio management, program management and release planning are connected.
The intention of this presentation is to give a very quick overview of what the agile methodologies entail and what the impact of a transformation to agile could have on an organisation.

Improving Agility with amazing insights from Indian MythologyCoffee Talk
Agile Coaching concept is relatively new to us, but coaching has been a part of our culture since 2000 years. This session is an attempt to open those hidden treasures and enhance our true coaching culture. This is an attempt to see and learn from those stories told to us by our parents, grandparents to help us understand Agile coaching and create a great future to self.
Workplace Happiness – Is Business Agility taking us towards happy workplaces?Coffee Talk
With the increase in population that separates ‘work’ from ‘life’, as if work is absence of life, it becomes increasingly important to study about what happiness means to people at work, so that they can be made to feel alive in their offices too. This session is aimed at introducing two interesting research studies that aimed to do just that.
This session does not just explain these two research works but also will find the commonalities between these and will engage the audience with discussions using leading questions, thereby bringing out personal examples that they can relate to. This session will also help us understand if Business Agility keeps us happy in the true sense.
Its Organizational, Not Individual Intelligence that matters!Coffee Talk
Organizations can create structures to organize and manage better. But soon these structures become smaller organizations within themselves and compete. This doesn't stop at sub-organization (like Business units) level but becomes culture and each layer behaves the same. Each layer works for it's existence and survival. Imagine what happens to organization where every entity is locally focused and forms its own culture code! So the question is how to get out of this power centered culture? How to create true Business Agility enabling culture in organizations? Deepti Jain tells us how in this is session.
We all agree that BizDevOps (or Agile Technical) practice is something we would love to follow in the products we build.
Ranjith Tharayil addresses the question, "are BizDevOps practices just good to have or is it a must?" If it's a "must ", do our teams understand the urgency to change their thought process? As leaders are we motivating them enough and enabling the right environment to help embrace it?
Faster time-to-market, better quality and higher efficiency - Organizations have been moving towards Agile predominantly because they realized that delivering features of the highest value can lead to bigger and better successes. But then the ground reality said something else. The success rates were not as high as one would have desired! What could be the reason?
One aspect that many organizations miss out on or don’t pay enough attention to is customer validation with early and continuous feedback.
When launching a new product or a new product feature, you need to ensure that you have given your product (feature) not just your love but also have taken it through feedback and improvement before you have launched it fully.
Arun Jayaraman sheds light upon some such practices that ensure that you improve your product success rates significantly without impacting your existing capacity and bandwidth.
Are you a Coach, a Consultant or a Mentor?Coffee Talk
On asking around or searching online, one will find that the Coach is more than just a Coach and a Scrum Master’s role is not limited to removing impediments. They have motivational, consultative, facilitation and educational roles. And what more, they have to switch hats multiple times based on the needs and situations in a given team.
In this talk Deepak Gururaja will help us in distinguishing between theses situations and the switch of roles a Change-agent has to make accordingly.
Is there an Indian Approach to Agile Transformation?Coffee Talk
These slides took the audience of Agile Coffee Talk Bangalore through Speaker Jeff Lopez's experience of Agile and agility in India. Jeff feels that India, with its history of adapting to various challenges and invasions over its thousands of years of existence, surely could teach the world about transformation.
This is a first-person perspective of Agile transformation at scale. How one of the largest technology departments in BNY Mellon / iNautix was embarked on a journey towards improving flow and delivering value. Unlike a traditional transformation of realigning teams and rolling out Scrum as an Agile framework, they wanted to bring evolutionary change in small increments and hence adopted the Kanban principles to change the way of their work, including benefits to the teams as well as to the stakeholders.
Nexus is a framework that drives to the heart of scaling: cross-team dependencies and integration issues.
It is an exoskeleton that rests on top of multiple Scrum Teams who work together to create an Integrated Increment. It builds on the Scrum framework and values.
The slides demystify how can we scale Scrum seamlessly from one team to multiple teams in a more simplified and intuitive manner using the Nexus framework, without too many additional roles and practices or a complex approach to scaling.
This session was presented by Sanjay Gupta and Deepak Gururaja on Agile Portfolio Planning. They have categorically shared about capacity based planning
The Value Innovation & Delivery in AgileCoffee Talk
The Design Thinking (DT) approach, once used primarily in product design, is now finding its place in Enterprises which are moving fast from products to services or physical to digital products offerings.

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!

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).

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.

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.
