12 leadership-tips-to-be-even-more-agile
12 tips to be more agile, starting from renaming "agile" to making your test strategy "intentional yet emergent"...
Why I Lost My Job As a Test Manager and What I Learnt As a Result
My career followed the typical path of someone in technology. Tester, Test Lead, Test Manager, Senior Test Manager. It started in 1999, back when we lived in a world of scripted tests and large, separate, test teams who designed and ran the tests. A world of silo’s and walls, a world where communication-by-bug- report was common.
Agile came, and fortunately disrupted things. Teams became cross-functional, and yet management did not change. Management became harder; there were more stakeholders to manage, and more areas to cover. Task switching came as standard.
Eventually the penny dropped with senior management and the management team was re-organised. A change had to come and that meant no more Test Managers….
DevOps - Successful Patterns
Alex Vinyar is an enterprise architect with 18 years of automation experience who provides on-site consulting engagements to help companies assess their infrastructure and workflows, implement DevOps practices, and train teams. He has worked with many large companies to help them start their DevOps journeys. Some key lessons he has learned include getting executive sponsorship to provide resources and protection for changes, starting with a small initial project, controlling the impact of changes, appointing internal champions, using metrics to prove value, taking care of employees, understanding that culture change takes time, and regularly demoing successes and failures to build community.

Gearing Startups for Success through Product Engineering
In the August edition of the #99XTWebinar Series, catch two of 99X Technology’s tech experts as they share some intuitive insights into product engineering for startups, and how they harnessed digital transformation to successfully launch a product.
The road to potential shippable increments
This document outlines a 6 step program for a Scrum team to start delivering shippable software increments. The steps include: 1) learning the improvement kata to better focus retrospectives, 2) focusing on quality by implementing a zero-bug policy, 3) identifying and addressing bottlenecks to improve workflow, 4) making bottlenecks visible using work-in-progress limits, 5) anticipating bottlenecks early using service level agreements, and 6) composing the sprint backlog strategically using service level agreements. Implementing these steps has helped the team deliver higher quality, bug-free software more accurately and consistently compared to a year earlier.
Become a Quality Enabler
Instead of being just another cost center for a customer where you develop what you're told, how can you become proactive by understanding the business requirement and truly being a Quality Enabler? Xian Tharindra shares some great insights on this
Testability Squad Health Check
Based on the Spotify Squad Health Check and the 10 P's of Testability model by Robert Meaney, a means of seeing how your testable your products are.
Danny Patterson: Slow Down
This document discusses why developers should slow down their work instead of focusing only on speed. It argues that perceived velocity is different from actual quality and that working too fast can lead to technical debt from bugs and lack of refactoring. It suggests taking time for specifications, estimates, testing, refactoring, commenting code and continuous learning to maintain high quality over speed of delivery.
From coach to owner - What I learned from the other side
The document describes an Agile coach's experience transitioning to becoming a startup owner. It discusses building an experienced and self-sufficient remote team, managing requirements through user stories, planning releases using a story map to visualize work, delivering value through Kanban and retrospectives, and succeeding as a team through believing in the process. Lessons learned include searching for the best team takes time but pays off, keeping releases short and celebrating each one, and deploying from day one while balancing quality and releasing value.
Effective Daily Standups
The document discusses effective daily standups in Agile development. It defines standups as 15 minute meetings for teams developing product backlog items. The goals are to assess progress, plan next steps, and identify impediments. Key aspects covered include having standups at the same time and place each day, using a structured format to discuss work completed, upcoming work, and obstacles. The benefits are improved communication, coordination, and quick decision making.
Host Leaders as Good Citizens in Software Development Organisations
This document discusses host leadership as an alternative metaphor for the role of a Scrum Master in software development organizations. It proposes that conceptualizing the Scrum Master as a "host leader" is more easily understood and reduces stress compared to a traditional leadership role. As a host leader, the Scrum Master focuses on initiating discussions, inviting participation, creating space for collaboration, keeping discussions on track, connecting people, and co-participating with the team. This approach aims to position the Scrum Master as a facilitator and good citizen within the team rather than a traditional manager.
What’s new in VS 2017?
The sleekest Visual Studio just launched last March 7 and it's the coolest ever! Look here for brief discussion on what's new in VS 2017.
Embedding UX In Any project, AMIS UX Event
User experience (UX) design should be incorporated into all projects, regardless of size. For small projects, UX design can be informal through visualization and user feedback. Mid-sized projects benefit from clickable wireframes, weekly workshops, and just-in-time UX design. Large projects require design authority, regular UX meetings, proximity within teams, and high-fidelity simulations. Across all projects, the key is to quickly visualize and validate ideas through iteration and user involvement. UX design is not a separate role but a shared responsibility of the entire team.

Self management working-wounded_getting_more_work_done
This document provides tips for getting more work done such as having a flexible schedule, resisting perfectionism, focusing on present work, tricking yourself into efficiency, asking for feedback, and tackling procrastination by doing one unpleasant task daily.
Cause Effect Relativity & Diversity
This document discusses causal loop diagrams and their use for modeling relationships between variables. It introduces key concepts of causal loop diagrams including variables, cause-effect relationships, delays, positive and negative feedback loops, and interventions. The document then prompts readers to work in teams to build causal loop diagrams for two scenarios: 1) management putting developers under pressure to hit a deadline, using variables like quality and morale, and 2) not having time to write clean code due to being busy fixing dirty code. Readers are asked to compare their diagrams with neighbors' and merge them.
AgilNext io Quality Coach
The document discusses the role of a quality coach in an agile team. It describes how the quality coach plays a central role in leading the team on quality and shares responsibility for project success through quality advocacy and issue resolution. The document also outlines the coach's experiences with different approaches to quality and testing in various organizations, concluding that hiring a QA professional willing to work in an agile environment and giving them a leadership position leads to the best outcomes.
Guidance for Subject Matter Experts
The document provides guidance on developing eLearning modules. It discusses identifying learning objectives and the audience. A module should be around 15 minutes and a course no more than 45 minutes. Each module should include an introduction, content organized into key points, a case study or examples, and a conclusion with a quiz. Tips are provided on content creation, including using relevant examples and visuals like images and diagrams.

Culture hacking devops 2018
Presentation given during a DevOps Conference in Zurich.
The idea was to make aware that DevOps is first a Mindset approach similar to the Craftsmanship. Both can live togethers.
Is management dead?
The Agile movement has done a great deal to bring more democracy to the workforce. Power has shifted from managers to individual contributors. As a result, we got empowered teams, self-organization and higher engagement. Now, some are saying that we are ready to get rid of management altogether.
So what is the role of the manager in the new agile organization? Is there one anymore?
This presentation sets out to identify how responsibilities are shuffled in the agile organization puzzle. What should the team do? What responsibilities does the manager retain? What new concerns need to be addressed that she wouldn’t have considered in the “old” organization?

Refactoring Test Collaboration
Presented at Agile Testing Days US 2018
https://agiletestingdays.us/session/refactoring-test-collaboration/
Collective ownership for testing starts with understanding testing. Rework your team dynamics to evolve past duplication and improve performance through whole team testing. Take home practical patterns for improving your team's collaboration on testing. Because teams who own testing have more confidence in the customer value of their results.
As the Pragmatic Programmers say, "refactoring is an activity that needs to be undertaken slowly, deliberately, and carefully," so how do we begin? In this session, we will experience the complex interactions of an agile team focused on demonstrating customer value by answering a series a questions:
Where do testers get their ideas?
How are you planning to accomplish this proposed testing, tester?
Why not automate all the things?
Who is going to do this manual testing and how does it work?
How do we know whether we're testing the right things?
Build your own list of TODOs from these various practical collaboration approaches and begin deduping your team's testing for a better first day back at the office.

It defines CoPs as groups that share a passion for their work, learn from each other, and interact regularly. The author details his experience establishing several CoPs at IHS, including for Scrum Masters and Product Owners. Key steps involved identifying the CoP domain and members, gaining executive support, creating a charter, and launching and sustaining regular meetings. Establishing CoPs helped improve knowledge sharing, collaboration, and employee engagement at IHS.
When Management Asks You: “Do You Accept Agile as Your Lord and Savior?"
So you’ve been told that your organization is going to implement Agile methodologies across ALL of IT, and not just in development. And you’ve been given the responsibility to implement it in Security Operations, and without a clear plan or measurable objectives other than “make the team more efficient”. While one can complain that someone in the C-Suite heard of the book “Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time”, you still have a job to do. So the basics of Project Management, Agile, Scrum & Kanban are covered and how one can shoehorn these concepts into working in an operations context. Oh, and there will also be some finagling of where DevOps stands regarding Agile and Operations.
The T.A.P.E. system for effective corporate training
The T.A.P.E. system is a training framework that includes theory, application, practice, and evaluation components to help ensure trainings are effective. It addresses different learning styles and allows trainers to apply concepts in real-life examples and receive feedback.

Design thinking is a human-centered approach to innovation that draws on design methods and tools. It emphasizes empathizing with users, defining problems from the user's perspective, ideating many potential solutions, prototyping ideas, and testing prototypes with users. This process aims to create innovative solutions that meet user needs. For software development, design thinking can be applied at each stage to develop solutions focused on the user experience through methods like customer research and iterative testing. It helps shift the focus from functionality to delivering an experience that solves users' problems in a better way.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

- 4. Teams adopt new methods because there's proof they work
- 5. “If we mess this up, we’re still okay” – Experimentators
- 6. Waterfall → Agile • Agile method is well defined • And widely talked about • Yet adoption often leads to complications
- 7. 1 Pure methods work in the ideal world Find the right mix that works for your team …and your project E.g.: Hard to develop in parallel with creative exploration
- 8. 2 Teams have to be ready to drive themselves Continuous effort to motivate, train and encourage every team member E.g.: Encouraging team to speak up in stand-ups
- 9. 3 Pain of growth underestimated Keep the impact of changes down E.g.: Teams giving up half way through Sergey in 2007☺
- 10. Better idea ↓ • Change one thing at a time • Learn techniques first, then change the approach • Prototype your workflow via making hypothesis and testing them
- 11. Why this is better ↓ • Less pressure, greater chances for success • Time and energy to educate the team • Gradually increase synergy • Manage clients easier: trustful client will support experimentation
- 12. Build pattern library retrospectively ↓ Start designing patterns Team will learn: • what constitutes a pattern • how granular they should be • how to deal with patterns of patterns • platform to use • how to rationalise patterns and avoid duplicates • a standard set for 80% of projects A
- 13. Usability testing in a waterfall project ↓ Rely on iterative testing in your design process Team will learn: • must-have vs nice-to-have for quality findings • who's better at planning and who's better at execution • how findings impact the solution 2B
- 14. 3C Interactive prototype alongside the designs ↓ Try designing in a browser Team will learn: • tech framework to use • design re-usable modules that fit everywhere • build modules that scale to accommodate content • see themes, modules and navigation paradigms as different dimensions of design
