Just What Is This Continuous Delivery Thing, Anyway?
DevOpsDays Portland 2013 talk. This is a different talk to the one I gave at PuppetConf - less tool focused and with more focus on the fundamentals of CD and its applicability to your area of IT.
Bootstrapping your startup & building it lean: stop wasting time
This document summarizes techniques for bootstrapping a startup on a lean budget with no outside investment. It discusses methodologies promoted by thought leaders like Eric Ries (Lean Startup), Steve Blank (Customer Development), Sean Ellis (Product/Market Fit), and Dave McClure (Pirate Metrics). Key recommendations include developing a minimum viable product, continuously testing and iterating based on customer feedback, using metrics over opinions, and leveraging cloud services to reduce costs and focus on the core product.
Agile Project Management: "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Agile”
The document discusses how project managers can adapt to agile methods. It begins by addressing common myths about agile project management and the stereotypes of project managers. It then discusses how the project manager role may change, focusing more on product ownership, collaboration with customers, and ensuring the highest priority features are delivered. The document emphasizes that agile embraces change and focuses on delivering working software over comprehensive documentation and responding to change rather than following a strict plan.
Coolblue Behind the Scenes | Niels Abels - Continuous Delivery.
The document discusses continuous delivery at Coolblue. It outlines their back office development, focus on creating great software, and approach to continuous delivery. Their continuous delivery approach includes: releasing code as soon as possible after it is merged; taking small, frequent steps; and making it easy to correct mistakes. Key aspects of their approach include heavy testing, code quality practices like reviews, automating processes as much as possible, and monitoring systems. The takeaways are that the most important things are having great team members and putting software live quickly while also having a forgiving environment for mistakes.
Fast prototypes and customer development for start ups
This document discusses using prototypes and customer development in the startup process. It emphasizes testing assumptions with customers from the beginning rather than relying on predictions. Prototypes like mockups, paper prototypes, landing pages, and working prototypes allow startups to get early feedback before fully developing an idea. The presentation argues for an agile process that pivots based on learning through prototyping and customer development. It provides examples of companies like Twitter that pivoted successfully and cautions that failure can be avoided through this approach.
Agile Testing
This document provides an overview of agile testing and acceptance test-driven development. It discusses key principles of agile testing including writing tests early and often, providing continuous feedback, keeping tests simple, and practicing continuous improvement. It defines the differences between unit tests and acceptance tests, and best practices for acceptance test automation and design. The document emphasizes treating testing as a collaborative conversation rather than just finding defects.
Right-Sizing User Stories
The document discusses writing better user stories for agile software development. It outlines the key parts of a user story, including functionality, user role, and conversation. It also discusses attributes that make for a good story, such as being independent, negotiable, valuable, estimable, and sized appropriately. The document provides tips for ensuring a story is sized appropriately, such as breaking large stories into smaller functional lines or user roles. It notes that every team is different in how they prefer to break down and work on stories, and that a story should not be considered too small until development begins.
Building a Minimum Viable Product
Learn how to build a minimum viable product using the Lean Startup methodology. Intended for people with no business background or familiarity with the Lean Startup Methodology.

Principles of Lean UX
This document discusses Lean UX principles for building digital products, including:
- Using cross-functional teams that are small, dedicated, and co-located.
- Focusing on outcomes rather than outputs and getting out of the deliverables business.
- Engaging in rapid prototyping and continuous discovery to learn through building minimum viable products and measuring results.
- Deferring decisions when possible and using small batch sizes to reduce waste and failure costs.
Hacking News
Alan McLean is a developer and journalist who has worked on interactive news projects at the New York Times since 2007. He discusses challenges with the traditional developer-newsroom relationship where projects are handed off late in the process. McLean advocates for developers to work more closely with journalists from the start of projects to focus on stories rather than just features. He also recommends techniques like rapid prototyping, using cloud services, and prioritizing content over pixel-perfect designs to enable faster iteration and collaboration between teams.
Coolblue Behind the Scenes | Jeffrey Simons - The UX nerd and you.
This document discusses how designers and engineers can work together effectively. It notes that designers and developers often have different perspectives that can cause conflicts. However, through developing a shared understanding of each other's roles and a shared vision of adding value to the product, these conflicts can be resolved. Specific recommendations include using a common language without jargon, collaborative techniques like pairing, and focusing project work on solving business problems and delivering value to users through user stories.
Resistance to scrum
This document discusses common objections to adopting Scrum and provides responses to each. It addresses concerns about the need for fixed dates and milestones, benefits of early development and testing, fears about changing scope or "descoping" work, working with clients, dealing with changing features, including various roles on Scrum teams, and addressing irrational objections to change. The key messages are that Scrum already provides planning mechanisms, changing scope can be managed, transparency builds control, and addressing people's concerns is important to overcoming resistance to the change that Scrum requires.
Workshop MVP
The workshop agenda covers reviewing a team's current status, an introduction to minimum viable products (MVPs), and identifying the team's MVP. It defines an MVP as the smallest thing that can be built to start the build-measure-learn loop. The document discusses different types of MVPs like landing pages, videos, concierge, and single feature MVPs. It explains that MVPs help start learning quickly without wasting resources, allow early earning, and help test features.

How to talk to your Product Owner
From JFall 2014
http://www.nljug.org/jfall/session/how-to-talk-to-your-product-owners-and-get-them-to/115/
Comcast XFINITY Home: An Agile Case Study
Today's mobile application development is a complex endeavor made more difficult by teams often working at cross purposes. Separation of roles and responsibilities leads to intricate technological and personnel dependencies that makes projects challenging. Mark Hashimoto shares personal insights and lessons learned during the agile development effort of Comcast XFINITY Home iOS and Android mobile apps. Mark suggests that defining system interfaces first allows client, server, and test teams to develop in parallel; limiting mobile UX reviews to objective matters rather than subjective opinions builds trust and respect; creating binary acceptance criteria removes sprint completion ambiguity; and adhering to disciplined meeting goals reduces wasted time. However, not all lessons learned were of a technical or procedural nature. Mark describes the human dynamics involved and the most common frustrations facing your team—too many meetings, rework caused by ambiguous mobile requirements, missed deadlines, and problems that arise from a lack of time.
Incorporating UX into an Agile Methodology
The document discusses incorporating user experience (UX) design into an Agile development methodology. It outlines the key parts of Agile like user stories, backlogs, and sprints. It then provides three principles for combining UX and Agile: iterate by making mistakes faster, scale by doing more with less, and simplify by keeping things "good enough." Specific tactics are described like using Sprint Zero to get ahead, prioritizing work, and embracing failures to find solutions. The importance of the UX designer's mindset and role on an Agile team is emphasized.
The Mythical Product Owner
It seems quite well understood who a ScrumMaster is, who a developer or tester is but what about the Product Owner. People often seem to fall into this role without a full understanding of what it's all about.
I frequently find myself wondering what the perfect Product Owner would look like. Where do they come from, what qualities and experience do they have and why are they so hard to find! What makes a good product owner and try and where can we find or how can we create this rare creature.
How UpKeep builds great products
This document discusses building great products at UpKeep. It emphasizes starting with the "why" rather than the "what" or "how" of a product. The "why" is that UpKeep aims to provide reliable, easy-to-use tools for maintenance and reliability workers. Core values discussed include quality over quantity, simplicity over sophistication, testing over shipping, grit over prestige, and progress over perfection. The document outlines UpKeep's product lifecycle of research, design, validation, marketing, education, deployment, operation, and support to deliver value to customers. Clear thinking and planning are said to create clarity needed for great products.
Jan-Erik Sandberg - Succeeding with Large Scale Agile
Implementing Agile in small, short lived projects is easy. The real challenge comes when the project becomes long-running, and it gets even harder when spanning into multiple large projects. Add the challenge of distribution of resources and different cultures and it becomes almost impossible.
Jan-Erik Sandberg is an international veteran on successfully implementing Agile in large organizations. You will get insights into some of his hard earned experiences and this hour will be packed with proven techniques and real life examples. The goal of the session is to help you to reduce risk and increase your chances of succeeding with implementing agile at a large scale. Project and product-developments that utilize offshore resources will be the main focus for this session.
ProductCamp Atlanta 2019
The document discusses how companies can fall behind and become overwhelmed due to chaos, neglect, and catastrophe. It provides examples of each such as having too many competing priorities, technical debt, and infrastructure failures. The document recommends that product management can help by focusing on high priority items that address these issues and meet customer needs, resetting to clear the deck of less important tasks, and balancing the roadmap between features, fixes, and operational items. Emphasis is placed on saying no to low priority requests and focusing resources.
Build it and they will not come: Being a programmer in 21st century - Nathan ...
In a world of open source, open ideas, and open collaboration, incredible opportunity exists for programmers that know how to grasp it. Participating in open source and the worldwide discussion of ideas can be a powerful way to boost your career, improve your skills, and lead a more fulfilling programming life. Succeeding in this world can be a struggle – the well known phrase "build it and they will come" could not be more false. Success requires you to grow in many new ways. For those willing to push their boundaries, the rewards are worth the effort a hundred times over.
Scaling agile practices (with GDS as an example)
The document discusses scaling agile practices using the UK Government Digital Service (GDS) as an example. It recommends starting with user needs and implementing a clear workflow with defined decision points. The GDS uses a portfolio management system with visual tools to provide a cross-organizational view of priority projects. It prioritizes projects based on fit with organizational goals and timeliness. Forums like an approvals board and portfolio standup create transparency. The goal is to produce clear management information for decision making.

FAO's work focuses on reducing hunger and improving living conditions by collecting, analyzing, interpreting and disseminating agricultural information. The organization developed metadata standards and application profiles to facilitate information sharing, including the AGRIS Application Profile for bibliographic records and a Learning Resources Application Profile. FAO also maintains AGROVOC, an agricultural ontology to enhance subject indexing and retrieval across languages.
Sustainable agriculture: is it optional, and can it feed the world?
Sustainable agriculture: is it optional, and can it feed the world?IFAD International Fund for Agricultural Development
The document discusses sustainable agriculture and its ability to feed the world. It notes that over 1 billion people currently experience hunger daily and that food production will need to double in the next 25-50 years to meet demand. However, business as usual approaches will not work due to threats like climate change, water scarcity, and loss of biodiversity. Advanced technologies may help boost yields but risks need to be carefully evaluated. Policies should promote sustainability, small farmers, and rural development through improved access to resources, markets and knowledge.Viewers also liked (6)

Lean & Agile: What Publishing Can Learn From Startups
This presentation was given by at the Edinburgh Publishing Conference held June 12, 2013 at the Edinburgh Business School in Edinburgh, Scotland. The conference examined the innovation, disruption and new business models that are helping to shape the future of publishing. In this presentation, Rachel Willmer, the founder of Luzme (a worldwide ebook search site) discussed how Lean & Agile practices learned from decades of software startups can be applied to building a successful business in the new disrupted future of publishing.
How to create your Minimum Viable Product - Raff Paquin
The document discusses how to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). It recommends a three step process: 1) Build a prototype to test hypotheses, 2) Expose the prototype to customers and measure behaviors to collect data, and 3) Transform the behavioral data into new hypotheses and ideas for the next iteration. The goal of this iterative process is to continuously test ideas, build the product, and lower risks while maximizing learning for startups. It emphasizes that even large, successful companies continue iterating in this way.
Lean startup overview
Lean Startup is a method for developing products and businesses using an iterative process of testing hypotheses and validating product-market fit. It emphasizes eliminating waste by building minimum viable products (MVPs) and continuously measuring key metrics like acquisition, activation, retention, revenue, and referral rates through the Build-Measure-Learn loop. Examples that have used Lean Startup principles successfully include Dropbox, which optimized its signup and sharing flows through analytics and testing, and Peernuts, which started with a blog post, small market, and minimal features before expanding based on customer feedback. The Lean Startup process aims to validate ideas more quickly and reduce risks compared to traditional product development approaches.
Prototyping and Product Development for Startups
Tips for would-be founders, technical or non-technical, before rolling up their sleeves and develop their products! From various ways of "pretotyping" to accurately gauge target customer's response, lean method, minimum viable product, feature selection, planning a product with robust data cycle, coping with delays, and guiding a team of rockstar engineers to build the right product and build the product right. Some personal experienced shared at the end as case studies.

This document discusses challenges with traditional software development approaches and proposes adopting agile and lean startup principles. It notes that software development is complex and changing requirements are common. The waterfall approach is too linear while agile focuses on short cycles, feedback, and adapting to change. However, agile still assumes requirements are known upfront, when in reality customers may not know what they need until they see it. The lean startup process advocates building minimum viable products and getting rapid customer feedback through short learning cycles to reduce uncertainties.
Fast Prototyping Customer Development Mock Ups 2014
The document discusses various techniques for developing business ideas and prototypes, including:
- Creating mockups and paper prototypes to test concepts with customers before building fully functional software.
- Building minimum viable products (MVPs) and landing pages to validate assumptions and pivot or change aspects of the business idea based on customer feedback.
- Using prototypes to explain ideas more effectively than specifications and to get early feedback before large investments are made.
The document emphasizes the importance of testing ideas with customers, pivoting based on learning, and adopting processes like customer development and agile development.
Customer Development Fast Protyping
- The document discusses various business development processes including subtraction, multiplication, division, task unification, and attribute dependency change as ways to modify a product. It then discusses prototyping and getting customer feedback as important parts of the development process. Specifically, it recommends creating minimum viable products and landing pages to test assumptions with customers before fully developing ideas. The key messages are that business plans should evolve based on customer feedback, prototyping allows early testing of ideas, and pivoting a business model based on learning is normal.
Minimum viable product
This document provides steps to create a minimum viable product (MVP):
1. Build a prototype (e.g. landing page, video, basic app) to test hypotheses and ideas with minimal effort. Tools include Google Forms, Balsamiq, LaunchRock, WordPress.
2. Expose the prototype to customers and measure behaviors and data using tools like Google Analytics, Mixpanel, KissMetrics. Track metrics regularly to determine if the idea is worth pursuing.
3. Analyze customer data and behaviors to develop new hypotheses and ideas. Prioritize next steps and features using tools like Google Sheets and Trello. Determine if raising money to build the next iteration is needed.
Working Smarter: Integrating lean startup practices into your company
Case study & afternoon keynote presented at the Mobile + Web Developer Conference in San Francisco, 2015.
http://mobilewebdevconference.com/san-francisco-july-2015/agenda/day-two/300pm.html
"Innovate or die” is the mantra of successful companies. So how can we build innovation into our product development process? More and more teams are adopting lean startup techniques to discover customer needs, focus on building what is valuable, and ultimately deliver great products.
This talk will share how a small education technology startup I worked with in NY scaled from a handful of people to multiple products and teams across 3 countries using lean startup practices. At various stages of growth we faced different challenges in keeping our processes lean, but throughout the journey we tried, failed and learned how to move fast and innovate.
Learn hands-on tools & techniques for applying lean that any team can start small and quickly see results, such as:
* How to move faster using collaborative, cross-functional teams
* Lightweight dev tools for scaling design across many teams
* Building a lean mindset in larger organizations
With real examples and artifacts you will learn how to manage - and thrive - using lean to create awesome products.
The Lean Enterprise
These are the slides from a talk I gave to the Tampa Bay Technology Leadership Association in early 2016.

Lean Startup for Non-startups
This document summarizes Catherine Connor's presentation on how Rally Software used Lean Startup principles to enter the portfolio management market. In 3 sentences:
Rally applied customer development techniques like building a minimal viable product and validating hypotheses through customer interviews to test entering a new market. They followed Lean Startup processes like frequent releases, pivoting when needed, and identifying early adopters. The approach helped Rally successfully launch a new product line for portfolio management within 16 months with validated customer need.
Lean startup
The Lean Startup provides a scientific approach to creating and managing startups and get a desired product to customers' hands faster.
Ericriesleanstartuppresentationforweb2
The document summarizes the key principles of the Lean Startup methodology for building startups. It discusses two tales of startups, one that failed spending $40M over 5 years by making assumptions without customer validation, and one called IMVU that shipped frequently and earned $10M in revenue in 2007. The Lean Startup methodology advocates continuous deployment, rapid A/B testing to validate hypotheses, and using the "Five Whys" technique to understand root causes of problems. Adopting these principles can help startups iterate quickly and reduce the risk of expensive failures.
Optimize Your Funnel By Getting Inside Your Buyer's Head
Part of finding product/market fit is turning early wins into repeatable, scalable, and profitable sales. In this talk given as part of the Heavybit speaker series, I discuss how to shorten the time to customer conversion from trials, freemium and open source products.
Moving Fast At Scale
Randy Shoup discusses how to move fast at scale based on his experience at Stitch Fix, Google, and eBay. He advocates for:
- Organizing into small autonomous teams to align with business domains
- Prioritizing problems that are important for the business and buying rather than building whenever possible
- Running experiments incrementally to listen to data and make steady improvements
- Adopting practices like test-driven development, continuous integration, and deployment to build quality in from the start
Testing Your MVP
The document discusses testing minimum viable products (MVPs) for startups. It begins by providing examples of products that failed despite large investments and outlines common reasons for failure. It then defines the context of a startup as experimentation to validate business models through frequent customer feedback. The document describes the three stages of a startup and emphasizes that learning is progress. It advocates for building an MVP, which is the fastest way to test business hypotheses with minimum effort. The rest of the document provides examples of how to test MVPs to validate problems, solutions, and product-market fit with low-cost experiments like landing pages, surveys, prototypes, and pre-orders.
Lecture13-Product-Development-PartI-Feb25-2018.pptx
This document summarizes a lecture about using the lean startup approach for product development. It discusses:
- Using a minimum viable product (MVP) to test assumptions quickly without overbuilding. An example is Dropbox starting with a simple demo video.
- The build-experiment-learn feedback loop, where you build an MVP, experiment to collect data, and learn how to improve. Key phases are identifying leap-of-faith assumptions to test like value and growth hypotheses.
- The dilemma of having more traction to raise funds after validating assumptions with an MVP, rather than prematurely seeking funds with just an idea and no customer feedback. Starting small allows wisely using funds.

PyCon UK 2013 "Python Adventures in Startup Land"
- 1. Python Adventures in Startup Land Rachel Willmer rachel@luzme.com Slides: http://slideshare.net/rwillmer Website: http://luzme.com
- 2. What is Startup Land? • You aim for “MinimumViable Product” • You don’t have a long-term development plan • You write code you know you’ll throw away • You know that you don’t know what you’re doing
- 3. “PracticeTrumpsTheory” Ash Maurya, Author of “Running Lean” http://practicetrumpstheory.com/
- 4. What is a Startup, anyway? “A Project in search of a Business Plan that works”
- 5. Which Means Continuous Change • Design Changes • Test Changes • DeploymentChanges • EVERYTHING changes
- 6. The Agile Manifesto, 2001 • http://agilemanifesto.org/ • KEY POINTS: – Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software – Welcome changing requirements, even late in development... – Deliver working software frequently, from a couple of weeks to a couple of months ... – Simplicity, the art of maximizing the amount of work not done, is essential – And others….
- 7. WhatThis Means in Practice • Have a long-term Big Idea • Plan only short-term work plans, a “sprint” • Continuously engage with customers • Be very willing to change everything as you learn • Change != Failure • Change at an early stage = cheap
- 8. It’s a marathon, not a sprint © http://www.flickr.com/photos/wwarby/4782201357
- 9. The Lean Startup, 2011 • Term coined by Eric Ries, based on earlier work done by Steve Blank • KEY POINTS: – Product/Market Fit – Minimum viable product – Continuous deployment – Split testing – Actionable metrics – Pivot
- 10. Lean Links • http://theleanstartup.com/ • http://runninglean.co/ • http://leananalyticsbook.com/
- 11. Fail Early, Fail Often, (Fail Cheap) • “Fail” = “Try,Learn,Change” not “Failure” • Mark Suster’s motto: – “Good judgement comes from experience, – But experience comes from bad judgement” http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/
- 12. How to Fail Early • Don’tWait until it’s ready until you talk to your customers • Customer Discovery interviews • MinimumViable Products • Verifiable Hypotheses • Landing Pages • Ask for money early!
- 13. And Now…The Python Bit…
- 15. What’s Changed? • I HATE MICROSOFT POWERPOINT!! • Lovely diagrams should now follow… • But Microsoft knows best, so I can’t include them…
- 16. So I’ll just keep talking… • Original: webserver + database + cron job • #1: Extra worker nodes: scraping,API lookups • #2: Datafeed node • #3: Overseas workers (geographical location matters!) • #4: Queueing (celery/rabbitmq) • #5: Caching (redis) • #6: Search (solr/elasticsearch) • #7: Host Monitoring (zenoss) • #8: Business metrics (logstash, graphite, statsd)
- 17. Why Python? • Really fast to build stuff • Great support for external services: elasticsearch, solr, redis, etc.
- 18. QUESTIONS? • Slides are available on slideshare • http://www.slideshare.net/rwillmer
Editor's Notes
- In a sprint, you can’t fail. Everything has to be right.
