Discover the right tools for your Project Management Office (PMO)Hussain Bandukwala
No matter what the domain, having the right tools at our disposal can make a significant difference.
In relevance to the PMO, it dictates the shift in our focus from management to administration.
Project/Program Managers often find themselves scrambling around to collect pertinent and accurate information to update their statuses, while Resource Managers may have to connect with several people to determine if they efficiently staffed their resources and have sufficient bench to staff upcoming initiatives.
These are some of the reasons to compel PMOs to surround themselves with the right tools. But what are the right tools? How did we end up with the not-so-right-tools? Why are the right tools so important?
Learn all this (and more) in "Discover the right tools for your Project Management Office (PMO)"

Optimizing model not good representation
More realistic to look at decision making as
satisficing process
Decision makers characterized by bounded
rationality

Alternatives to Rational
Models
Decision making can be attributed to
intuitive processes of managers
Often make decisions without conscious
knowledge of how decisions made
Intuitive decision making not logical but
not illogical
Based on past experience in similar
contexts – analogical

Effective Small-Group
Decision Making
Decision fiascoes might also be attributed
to tendency of groups to make more
extreme decisions
Low-quality decisions can results from:
Improper assessment,
Flawed information base
Faulty reasoning
Effective Small-Group
Decision Making
Group’s manner of dealing with conflict can
influence decision quality
Groups that worked through conflicts in
collaborative and integrative ways made
more effective decisions
Need to be consciously aware of the

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

[K&S] Taking Care of Stakeholders
The project team is considered
stakeholders in traditional project
management (according to PMBOK
Guide) but NOT IN AGILE PROJECT
4. 8/18/21
4
[K&S] Taking Care of Stakeholders
• Stakeholder Stewardship versus Stakeholder Management in Non
Agile
– Stakeholder stewardship means looking after everyone with a
mindset of serving the team rather than trying to tell people how
to do their jobs
– Educating Stakeholders about Agile (…)
– Keep Stakeholders Engaged (…)
7
[K&S] Taking Care of Stakeholders (cont.)
• Educating Stakeholders about Agile
– Need some basic education about how agile projects operate
to help them understand the agile approach
– Address any myths about agile and guide their expectations.
– This education should include
• the goals,
• values,
• practices,
• and benefits of the agile approach
Help them understand why the project
will be executed in this manner.
9
5. 8/18/21
5
[K&S] Taking Care of Stakeholders (cont.)
• Keep Stakeholders Engaged
– Short iterations prevent stakeholders from losing interest.
– Engaging stakeholders in project events is that not all
stakeholders can be handled in the same way
– Stakeholder stewardship is establishing a process for
escalating issues that need a high level of authority to
resolve
10
[K&S] Incorporating Stakeholder’s Values
• Focus on bringing project priorities into alignment with
stakeholder priorities
• Engage the product owner in the prioritization of the backlog
• Invite stakeholders to planning meetings and sprint review
• Help to hear about change requests as soon as possible.
• Help to identify potential risks, defects, and issues
• Big Focus on Stakeholders
– User story workshops
– Participatory decision making
– Collaboration games
– Frequent discussions of the “definition of done”
11
6. 8/18/21
6
Principles of Stakeholder Engagement
1. Get the right stakeholder
2. Cement (Hold) stakeholder involvement
Ex: We could also report on the benefits or issues resulting from
the stakeholders’ involvement
3. Actively manage stakeholder interest
4. Frequency discuss what “done” looks like (acceptance criteria
for each user story)
5. Show progress and capabilities
6. Candidly (thẳng thắn) discuss estimates and projections
12
How to establish
a shared vision
7. 8/18/21
7
How to establish a shared vision
• Some key tools that agile teams
use to establish a shared vision
among all the stakeholders
– Agile Charter
– Definition of done (DOD)
– Workshops
– Agile Modeling
– Wireframes
– Personas
(…)
15
Establishing a Shared Vision
• [T&T, K&S] Agile Chartering
– Project charter is one of the first documents produced for a
project
• It describes the project’s goal, purpose, composition, and
approach, and it provides authorization from the sponsor
for the project to proceed
• Agile charters can range from very lightweight worksheets
and barely expanded vision statements to fairly detailed
documents
– Agile versus Non-Agile Charters
• The goal of an agile charter is to describe the project at a
high level
• They typically have less detail than non-agile charters, and
focus more on how the project will be run than on exactly
what will be built
16
15. 8/18/21
15
[T&T] Social Media
32
Social media are a great way to collect ideas,
requirements and feedback from the community
[T&T] Workshop
• How to conduct workshops more effective:
– Diverse groups reflect a wider range of viewpoints than just a
few experts
– To prevent dominant individuals è the facilitator can use
techniques such as going round-robin style around the group
or generating ideas on sticky notes.
• User story workshop (story writing workshop)
• Reason for conducting user story workshops is to
– Engage the key stakeholders in the design process (ex: UI)
– Can discuss the trade-offs and priorities of the work
– The team will get a better understanding of the stakeholders’
needs, without jumping directly to possible solutions
– the business will get a better sense of the costs and options
36
16. 8/18/21
16
[T&T] Brainstorming
• A group tries to rapidly generate a lot of ideas about a
problem or issue
• Agile teams can use this approach to help identify
options, solve issues, and find ways to improve
processes
• For example, the team might brainstorm
– Product roles to feature in personas
– Features to include in the minimal viable product for a
release
– Potential risks that could impact the project
– Solutions to a problem raised in a retrospective
37
[T&T] Collaboration Games
Collaboration games (innovation games) are facilitated workshop
techniques that agile stakeholders can use to get a better
understanding of complex or ambiguous issues and reach
consensus on options and solutions.
Some examples of the collaborative games
1. Remember the Future
– This is a vision-setting and requirements-elicitation exercise
2. Prune the Product Tree
– This exercise helps stakeholders gather and shape requirements
3. Speedboat (aka Sailboat)
– The goal of this exercise is to identify threats and opportunities(risks) for
the project
4. Buy a Feature

Using Critical Interpersonal Skills (cont.)
• [K&S] Facilitation (MC, Điều phối viên)
– Goals
• A clear goal for each meeting or workshop
session
• Get engaged in the discussion from the start
• can shorten the session time, making the
discussion feel more valuable to all involved
– Rules
• Basic ground rules
• The rules must also been force during each
session
– Timing (kiểm soát thời gian)
• Breaks will take place
– Assisting (hỗ trợ thêm…)
51
Using Critical Interpersonal Skills (cont.)
• [T&T] Conflict Resolution
54
20. 8/18/21
20
• [T&T] Conflict Resolution
Negotiation to resolve conflict in AGILE
• Kenneth Thomas and Ralph Kilmann identified five conflict
modes:
– Competing - High assertiveness and low cooperativeness è The goal is to
“win.”
– Avoiding - Low assertiveness and low cooperativeness è The goal is to
“delay.”
– Compromising - Moderate assertiveness and cooperativeness è The goal is
to “find a middle ground.”
– Collaborating - High assertiveness and high cooperativeness è The goal is to
“find a win-win solution.”
– Accommodating - Low assertiveness and high cooperativeness è The goal is
to “yield.”
• Agile always focuses on Collaborating Mode of conflict resolution è
This results in a positive mindset among the team.
• The agile leader plays a significant role in ensuring the collaborative
style of conflict resolution, where the outcome always results in a
Win-Win scenario.
56
21. 8/18/21
21
[K&S] Participatory Decision Making
• Engaging the project stakeholders in the decision-making process
• Communication and decision-making processes are more critical
for keeping everyone informed and engaged
• Teams need to be enabled and encouraged to make these
decisions quickly because in the short timeboxes in which Agile
works, any delay in decision making can have a greater impact on
the project timeline.
• With participatory decision models, a key point to remember is,
“not involved means not committed.”
57
[K&S] Participatory Decision Making (cont.)
• Agile methods favor more team empowerment and less
command-and-control direction on projects.
• Convergent, Shared Collaboration
