Learn from the Experts: Using DORA Metrics to Accelerate Value Stream FlowDevOps.com
When responding to digital disruption, organizations are embracing DevOps practices and value stream thinking, but find it tough to measure their progress.
Organizations need to find a way to make it easy to inspect team and global metrics for incremental adaptation to accelerate the flow of value through every team’s workflow or pipeline. In this webinar, we’ll explore how to automate transparency into the 4 key metrics for throughput and stability as defined by DORA’s Accelerate State of DevOps Reports.
Join Helen Beal, DevOpsologist at Ranger4, and Jeff Keyes from Plutora for this webinar where they will teach you about the key metrics for DevOps success.
Looking through a value stream lens they will show you:
What the key metrics are;
How to make it easy for people to use them;
How they evolve flow over time.
One of my favorite interview questions that I ask engineering candidates is to tell me about one thing they liked and one thing they disliked about the engineering culture at their previous company. I’ve interviewed over 500 people – many of them from top tech companies like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Palantir, and Dropbox – and over time, this interview question has given me a sense of what good engineers look for and what they’re trying to avoid. Reflecting back on the interview responses and on my own experiences from the past seven years working across Google, Ooyala, and Quora, I’ve distilled ten things that a team can do to build a good engineering culture.

Reactive Microsystems: The Evolution of Microservices at ScaleJonas Bonér
Everyone is talking about Microservices and there is more confusion than ever about what the promise of Microservices really means—and how to deliver on it. To address this situation, we will explore Microservices from first principles, distill their essence and put them in their true context: Distributed Systems.
Distributed Systems is very hard and we—system developers—have been spoiled by centralized servers for too long. Slicing an existing system into various REST services and wiring them back together again with synchronous protocols and traditional enterprise tools—designed for Monolithic architectures—will set us up for failure.
As if that wasn’t enough, we can’t only think about systems of Microservices. In order to make each Microservice scalable and resilient in and of itself, we have to design each Microservice as a Distributed System—a «Microsystem»—architected from the ground up using the Reactive principles and Events-first Domain Driven Design.
In this talk I’ll walk you through the evolution of such a system, discussing what you need to know in order to design a Scalable Microservices Architecture.

There’s a very good reason why professional translators stick so rigorously to this best-practice 5-step language translation process.
They know if they don’t, their translations won’t always be up to scratch.
A pity untrained translators don’t know this!
This presentation succinctly explains each of the 5 crucial steps in this highly regarded translation process, and how and why things go astray if it isn’t followed. Or if it’s whizzed through in perfunctory fashion to meet a deadline.
It’s all to do with the rather complex mental gymnastics translators have to go through to translate any piece of text. It’s a challenging task, the upshot of which is that any initial translation is just a draft, prone to the odd error and less than ideal wording.
So a thorough process is needed to fix any deficiencies and whip that initial translation into shape and bring it up to the professional standard required.
The essential steps in doing that are 3 through to 5. These include a specific check of accuracy, then another looking just at quality of wording.
For a more in-depth discussion of the process and a great summary pdf, head over to our blog article: http://www.pactranz.com/blog/language-translation-process/

Cognitive Digital Twin by Fariz SaračevićBosnia Agile
Data are driving the world today and they are becoming world's precious currency. Continuous Engineering, the default set of applications for enterprise software development, produce a wealth of data but it is hard to understand its value. What if you could find hidden patterns in your data your development teams create? What if you could discover ways to improve your team's performance? This presentation reviewed some of the different ways the Collaborative Lifecycle Management team (http://jazz.net) is utilizing Watson Analytics to gain insights into and improve efficiency with their own processes.
Understanding the New World of Cognitive ComputingDATAVERSITY
Cognitive Computing is a rapidly developing technology that has reached practical application and implementation. So what is it? Do you need it? How can it benefit your business?
In this webinar a panel of experts in Cognitive Computing will discuss the technology, the current practical applications, and where this technology is going. The discussion will start with a review of a recent survey produced by DATAVERSITY on how Cognitive Computing is currently understood by your peers. The panel will also review many components of the technology including:
Cognitive Analytics
Machine Learning
Deep Learning
Reasoning
And next generation artificial intelligence (AI)
And get involved in the discussion with your own questions to present to the panel.
From Amazon to Google, top technology firms have embraced data science and machine learning to improve business outcomes. Yet AI adoption beyond these firms has been slow due to obstacles such as hiring talent, heterogeneous data, and compute infrastructure. Larger firms have built teams to tackle these issues with some success, but small- and mid-tier firms are at a distinct disadvantage. AI as a Service is a paradigm that levels the playing field and empowers businesses across the spectrum.
Software development is constantly evolving, and Artificial
Intelligence (AI) is at the forefront of this change. In 2024, AI is poised to have an even
greater impact on the way we build software, fundamentally shifting workflows and
Unlocking new possibilities. Let's explore the top 5 AI trends shaping the future of
software development:
We have critically evaluated how AI will shape integration use cases, their feasibility, and timelines. Emerging Technology Analysis Canvas (ETAC), a framework built to analyze emerging technologies, is the methodology of our study.
We observe that AI can significantly impact integration use cases and identify 13 AI-based use case classes for integration. Points to note include:
Enabling AI in an enterprise involves collecting, cleaning up, and creating a single representation of data as well as enforcing decisions and exposing data outside, each of which leads to many integration use cases. Hence, AI indirectly creates demand for integration.
AI needs data, which in some cases lead to significant competitive advantages. The need to collect data would drive vendors to offer most AI products in the cloud through APIs.
Due to lack of expertise and data, custom AI model building will be limited to large organizations. It is hard for small and medium size organization to build and maintain custom models.

Speaker: Katie Demain, Global Partner and Change Expert, iOpener Institute
There is compelling evidence that it pays to invest in your employees’ happiness. Research findings are clear that happier employees are more productive, which improves your bottom line. Your happiest employees are 65% more energised at work, spend twice as much time on-task, and intend to stay in their job 4 times longer, according to iOpener Institute. This event was held on 5 December 2023.
But what does being happy at work actually mean? Why is happiness considered the antidote to poor performance? Isn’t happiness just a fuzzy concept? Should workforce happiness be on your agenda in the current tough economic climate? What does making happy employees mean in real terms for business leaders and managers?
This event will bring participants up to speed with all aspects behind workforce happiness – its theory, its value and its challenges – for managers, teams and individuals. And to present practical solutions that you’ll be able to implement straight away with your teams.

Reference Class Forecasting - useful method, or random number generator? webinarAPMDonotuse
APM Webinar hosted by the North West Branch on 18 October 2023.
Speaker: Dr Michala Techau
Addressing the why, when, and how to use Reference Class Forecasting (RCF) as a method to predict uncertainty in major project planning and delivery. The key reason behind cost and schedule overrun is underestimation of risks, and the root causes of underestimation are optimism and political bias. This webinar was held on Wednesday 18 October 2023.
https://youtu.be/Shl5r1wTzxc
https://www.apm.org.uk/news/reference-class-forecasting-useful-method-or-random-number-generator-webinar/
Oxford Global Projects has vast experience of working on the risk assessment of complex and uncertain major capital projects. Our research shows that these projects are more likely to experience overruns in time and cost than underruns, and that the potential magnitude of overruns is likely to be greater than the magnitude of underruns.
Thus, for large capital projects, the norm is over budget, over time, under benefits, over and over again, The founder of OGP, Professor Bent Flyvbjerg, has named this the “iron law of megaprojects” - and we argue that it is crucial to build a strong evidence base to de-bias cost, schedule, and benefit estimates to derive clear, actionable recommendations for de-risking capital project delivery.
RCF is a method for systematically taking an outside-view on planned actions. The method is used to make explicit, empirically based adjustments to estimates that prevent estimation biases such as optimism bias. To be accurate, these adjustments should be based on data from past and similar projects calibrated for the unique characteristics of the project at hand.
The basic idea of RCF is that we answer the questions:
What was the actual cost and schedule performance of past similar projects?
How risky were they in terms of how much their cost and schedule changed in comparison to their original estimates?
How do the cost and schedule performance of past relevant projects compare to your project, and what is your project’s risk of overrun?
What contingency is required to provide the level of certainty you require that your project will not overrun?
The talk highlighted typical misconceptions about RCF, and put them to bed. Challenges, causes, and cures for major project performance will be illustrated with case studies from the transport, energy, and the built environment sectors. The talk concluded with a Q&A session and an open discussion on how RCF is potentially more important than ever, in relation to addressing our impact on the environment.

Navigating Difficult Conversations on Projects WebinarAPMDonotuse
APM webinar hosted the South East Branch on 27 September 2023.
Speaker: Marion Thomas
This Webinar explored the art of engaging in difficult conversations, equipped project leaders with practical strategies and insights that align with the principles and practices advocated by the APM Body of Knowledge. Marion Thomas, experienced PM, speaker, certified coach, ChPP mentor, and trainer in leadership, led this discussion.
We explored how to engage in those challenging conversations that are often necessary for project success whilst also protecting ourselves professionally.
As project leaders, we understand the importance of effective communication and how it can significantly impact project success. However, sometimes, we find ourselves faced with challenging conversations that require finesse and skill to handle. In this talk, we delved into the art of engaging in difficult discussions while also safeguarding our professional integrity.
Throughout the project lifecycle, project leaders often encounter situations where they must initiate or participate in tough conversations with various stakeholders, customers, team members, and other involved parties. These conversations may range from addressing conflicts and disputes to becoming the messenger of undesirable news that can expose us to potential backlash. On the other hand, some project leaders may intentionally introduce a level of non-hostile positive conflict to encourage innovative thinking and creativity within the project.
In this engaging session, we provided valuable insights and actionable strategies to empower project leaders to navigate such challenging conversations effectively. Our expert speakers shared practical tips on how to approach these situations with confidence, ensuring the best possible outcomes for both the project and our colleagues.

Inclusive Impact: How to make sure disability isn’t a barrier in your project...APMDonotuse
APM webinar hosted by Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire Branch on 21 September 2023.
Speaker - Kayleigh Chambers, NSPCC - Linkedin
According to Scope, approximately 23% of working age adults have some form of disability. This webinar was held on 21 September 2023.
According to the British Dyslexia Association, up to 15% of the adult population may have dyslexia or another Specific Learning Difficulty.
This means that it is highly likely in our projects we are working with or for someone who is neurodivergent or has a disability.
By making small changes to our practice we can increase the likelihood of project success by enabling all stakeholders to contribute their full potential.
Content covered:
Definitions (Disability, Equality, Neuro-Diversity)

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
