"You Don't Do Agile, You Be Agile" - If you've been in Agile field for a while, you would have already heard advice to Be Agile. Agile is not a process but values and principles. Agile is a mindset. More than your processes, your behavior indicates your mindset as in, how do you handle failures, whether you focus on learning and growth, how do you handle complexity, and whether you focus to eliminate or embrace uncertainty. Kamlesh Ravlani helps us dissect the mindset, what's an Agile mindset and it's key attributes. He shares Carol Dweck's research on Growth Mindset - published in her book Mindset. Kamlesh discusses strategies and exercises to develop an Agile mindset.
This is a pdf file showing how I study for college Human Anatomy (Introduction). I used a surface pro 3 for these notes. Any aspiring doctors and nurses can take a look at this document
Let's drop the tester labels such as "functional tester", "system integration tester", "automation tester", etc. More and more teams are cross-functional and team members are required to be poly-skilled. If you are testing you can and should be involved in the full SDLC, which should include deployments and infrastructure. Just like there is application code, there is infrastructure code, which needs testing too. So where do you fit in? How can you remain relevant and helpful in the DevOps world?

This is a no-punches-pulled honest conversation about authentic dev-sec-ops and not the vendor favourite buzzwords that have become proper nouns and marketing hooks.
We investigated an (updated) definition of done; how we are sometimes unknowingly still creating silos; some anti-patterns in devops; how to possibly structure your transformations and your teams; how to engage your staff; which roles to include and if any are excluded; how the 'shifting left' movement should include operations and security too; and more.
FlowCon 2019 - Beyond the Black Hole: Product Management for Continuous DeliveryElizabeth Ayer
Continuous Delivery can be a hard sell to product managers, even in small, healthy organisations. The benefits sound implausible, the costs high, and it’s really hard to understand all that it enables. However, CD has been hugely beneficial at the leading edge of product management.
As deployment pipelines have taken root, there has also been a shift in how we see and measure user value. Take these trends together, and there’s been a giant leap forwards in how to prioritise work and judge its success.
When our teams stopped throwing features into a black hole, and instead closed the loop with feedback, it had surprising knock-on effects, bad and good!
Why did we choose it ?
Because continuous delivery is not only about delivering fast with a good quality, that's also about delivering the right thing. Welcome in the continuous delivery of value.
Struggling with Agile at scale? Thinking about scaling Agile beyond the team? Want to learn from others’ mistakes? Well don’t panic, and carry a towel. After all, “any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.”
There is a lot to be learnt from those who have successfully hitchhiked their way to the galaxy of Scaled Agile, but there is also much to learn from those who have gotten a little lost upon the way. This session celebrates the scaled Agile hitchhiker, the people who tried and failed, with ideas that were occasionally brilliant but often plain stupid. You will laugh, you will cry but you will also walk away will a nice long list of ideas not to try when scaling Agile!
The one thing that all the employee engagement surveys agree on is that the Employee Engagement sucks :(
Irrespective of the culture and organizational position, exercise of authority and power fails to influence higher engagement particularly for the knowledge workers. Most traditional approaches to engagement need a lot of time, effort and financial resources. Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches on the other hand, are in different situation as they command no power and authority in the organization. Yet, they aspire and commit to missions such as creating highly collaborative, self-organizing and high performing teams, developing learning organizations, helping people change behaviors etc. Think about a team that simply won’t speak up, people who would always show up late to meetings, people who prefer to work from closed door offices, team members who prefer they can do anything but contribute on the team, architects who do not share the architecture details with anyone except the leaders. Oh Boy!! Many such behaviors hinder teams and organizations from becoming truly Agile.
While working with various teams in the capacity of a Scrum Master and Agile Coach, Kamlesh Ravlani has experimented various techniques and codified six such strategies that helped create an environment where his team members connected with other team members at much deeper human level, creating unprecedented levels of engagement and bonding. He has explored and tried variations of implementations of these strategies. The engagement results have been moving.
Kamlesh shares six strategies that are easy to implement and yet very engaging. Anyone with good intentions in the organization can apply these strategies without need of any expense tools, organizational authority or power and can facilitate an environment that resonates with employees, where people find safe to contribute, and remain deeply engaged with. Kamlesh has presented these strategies and findings at various groups and conferences, upon listening to some of the stories, audience have experienced their heart warmed and have applauded cheerfully in the sessions.

Last week I had the pleasure of delivering a one day workshop at Microsoft Israel on Azure Mobile Services. For those of you who don't know, Azure Mobile Services is an Azure Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering for easily authoring a mobile application back-end, complete with support for user authentication, push notifications and more. It is a type of service also commonly known as a Backend-as-a-Service.
This is the slide deck for that workshop.

Light-imaging Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) has become a common tool used in mapping and is being dispatched to complete more and more projects, but do you understand what this technology is, how it works, and what it can be used for? Through this brief but informative presentation, we’ll get you up-to-date on LiDAR
technology and its ability to offer acquisition of digital elevation data for large-scale mapping projects. We’ll also
discuss how LiDAR can work alongside traditional aerial photography and photogrammetric techniques – making it even more powerful.
