XP Day: Using cost of delay – Joshua ArnoldJoshua Arnold
This document discusses implementing an economic decision framework using lean product development techniques at a large container logistics company. It describes piloting the approach on one portfolio to demonstrate benefits, then rolling it out more broadly. Key elements included improving prioritization based on cost of delay, breaking down work into smaller batches to smooth workflow, and limiting work in progress. An initial pilot showed benefits of $9 million from earlier delivery and $4 million from better prioritization. Refinements were needed as the approach was applied repeatedly to help the concepts stick within the organization.
This document contains notes from a presentation on finance and operations reporting. It discusses the role of a junior manager focusing on daily reporting of expenses, sales, production outputs, and other metrics. While the work can feel "lame" compared to strategic work, reporting is still important for triggering actions, generating alerts, and helping the organization avoid recurring problems. The presentation emphasizes establishing critical reporting elements like clear formatting, highlighting trends, and asking questions; and using IT tools effectively to analyze data and knowledge rather than just prove work is being done. It also discusses materials, production, and planning reporting factors to consider.
A retrospective looking at the implementation of Cost of Delay as a means to improve decision-making, improve the sense of urgency and encourage the breaking down of work as well as scheduling or prioritisation using CD3.

The document summarizes a proposed method for authenticating grayscale images using visual cryptographic techniques and secret sharing. The method embeds a watermark into the original grayscale image for authentication purposes. It then divides the watermarked image into shares using Shamir's secret sharing scheme. To authenticate the image, the shares are reconstructed using the reverse secret sharing scheme to obtain the original watermarked image. The watermark is then extracted from the reconstructed image to check authenticity. The document provides background on digital watermarking, secret sharing, and describes the proposed authentication method in detail.

Data and analytic strategies for developing ethical itHyoun Park
Suggested audience: CIO, Enterprise Architects, Data Managers, Analytics Managers, Data Scientists
IT is broken. Bad data assumptions, legacy technology, poor business decisions, and weak IT management have changed IT from a superstar to a second-rate department that struggles to maintain its seat at the CEO's table.
With AI, personal data, & business ethics all in ascendence, the need for ethical IT policies has never been greater. Otherwise, companies risk building services and products that fall short of the ethics and trust that they have been given by employees.
In this webinar, Amalgam Insights explores how current data, BI, analytics, and machine learning technologies threaten ethical IT and provides guidance based on other rules-based frameworks that derive business outcomes, such as the law and corporate legislation.

SRE focuses on production automation, resiliency and scalability, similar to devops but with more emphasis on keeping systems running. As companies grow, expectations often outpace capacity and complexity increases, requiring more automation rather than personnel to maintain high uptime levels. A dedicated SRE team can improve reaction times, learn from incidents, raise awareness of system behaviors, and focus on forward-looking improvements rather than just keeping existing systems running. Key SRE practices include automated monitoring, log indexing, health checks, establishing service level objectives and agreements, and implementing self-healing systems and runbooks.

From Technical Debt to Technical HealthDeclan Whelan
Everyone agrees that technical debt is a burden on software innovation that we would rather avoid, and certainly clean up whenever possible. However, in most organizations, people don't prevent technical debt nearly as much as they should, and they don't ever get the time to clean it up. Why, then, if there are clear incentives to deal with technical debt, is it a rampant problem?
In this session, we will focus on how to deal with technical debt on several levels, including the individual developer, the team, the software value stream, and the larger organization. While technical debt may manifest itself in a developer's IDE, the problem starts long before the developer decides to copy and paste some code, or creates an overly-complex and under-documented class. The pressures on teams and individuals to take on more debt than they should come from many sources. Therefore, the solutions to the technical debt problem must extend beyond the team.

How Duct Tape and Bubblegum are Hurting Your BusinessOmniVue
Are your business systems being held together with duct tape and bubblegum?
The software that runs your business can make or break your organization. Patching it up as you go is not a good long term solution, because this creates multiple disparate systems that don't work together.
Hear Jeff Pyden, President and CEO of OmniVue, discuss why having multiple disparate systems can hurt your business in the long run. And more importantly, what you can do to prevent it.
1. The document outlines 4 laws of tech product economics. The first law is that development teams are never big enough, requiring ruthless prioritization according to what is most critical.
2. The second law is that all profits come from multiple copies/users of the product, not the first version, requiring a focus on building products once to sell to many customers.
3. The third law is that the technology itself is not the full product - non-technical elements like marketing, sales, and support are also required to satisfy customers.
4. The fourth law is that strategy and customer discovery cannot be outsourced, requiring direct involvement to understand markets and identify the right solutions.

This document discusses the importance of financial knowledge for general management. It argues that financial data can help managers make objective, data-driven decisions while overseeing large-scale operations. However, it also notes that relying solely on financial figures without understanding people and operations can be limiting. The document advocates for an approach that incorporates financial metrics alongside collaborative, rational thinking to properly structure organizations and empower staff. Financial literacy is presented as a tool that can bridge different functions and help achieve organizational goals when used reasonably and with the right people's interests in mind.
The document discusses the importance of collaboration and trust within organizations. It notes that through collaboration and learning, people can achieve things they never thought possible and extend their capacity to create. However, collaboration also requires addressing potential challenges like determining common interests when perspectives differ, establishing trust among peers, ensuring fairness and reciprocity in social exchanges, and developing a culture of openness where checks and balances are valued. The document stresses that collaboration is key to overcoming inertia within systems and breaking through to new possibilities.

This document discusses using Excel for inventory costing and management. It recommends focusing on operational metrics like inventory turn rather than just financial calculations. Managers should balance operational and financial concerns by working with both customers and suppliers. Key factors to determine include the visibility window for inventory planning, target inventory levels, and alerts for excessive, obsolete, or out-of-stock inventory. Effective inventory management requires setting appropriate target inventory levels for different material categories while maximizing constraints like material availability and workflow processes.

Day 2 focuses on template construction, stock aging reports, and Excel skills like functions and formulas. Key concepts discussed include target inventory levels, safety stock, materials requirements planning, bills of materials, routings, and using Excel functions to analyze inventory data.
1. Budgeting is an important tool for companies to plan and simulate financial outcomes for the upcoming year. It helps identify risks, opportunities, and strategies through developing objectives, assumptions, and calculations.
2. Common reasons for ineffective budgets include it being a top-down exercise with little value, lack of monitoring, and failure to link the budget to daily operations and performance.
3. The budgeting process involves determining objectives and assumptions, outlining strategies to meet targets within constraints, and developing the methodology and calculations to project sales, costs, expenses, and profits.
The document provides an overview of budgeting as a management tool and the budgeting process. It discusses identifying constraints, developing sales and production budgets, determining material, labor and overhead costs, and putting the pieces together in an income statement. The key aspects covered are determining assumptions, setting sales targets, projecting material and labor needs, and ensuring budgets are detailed enough while not overly complex. The overall message is that budgets should align with company strategy and operations to be effective management tools.

The Evolution and Impact of OTT Platforms: A Deep Dive into the Future of Ent...ABHILASH DUTTA
This presentation provides a thorough examination of Over-the-Top (OTT) platforms, focusing on their development and substantial influence on the entertainment industry, with a particular emphasis on the Indian market.We begin with an introduction to OTT platforms, defining them as streaming services that deliver content directly over the internet, bypassing traditional broadcast channels. These platforms offer a variety of content, including movies, TV shows, and original productions, allowing users to access content on-demand across multiple devices.The historical context covers the early days of streaming, starting with Netflix's inception in 1997 as a DVD rental service and its transition to streaming in 2007. The presentation also highlights India's television journey, from the launch of Doordarshan in 1959 to the introduction of Direct-to-Home (DTH) satellite television in 2000, which expanded viewing choices and set the stage for the rise of OTT platforms like Big Flix, Ditto TV, Sony LIV, Hotstar, and Netflix. The business models of OTT platforms are explored in detail. Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) models, exemplified by Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, offer unlimited content access for a monthly fee. Transactional Video on Demand (TVOD) models, like iTunes and Sky Box Office, allow users to pay for individual pieces of content. Advertising-Based Video on Demand (AVOD) models, such as YouTube and Facebook Watch, provide free content supported by advertisements. Hybrid models combine elements of SVOD and AVOD, offering flexibility to cater to diverse audience preferences.
Content acquisition strategies are also discussed, highlighting the dual approach of purchasing broadcasting rights for existing films and TV shows and investing in original content production. This section underscores the importance of a robust content library in attracting and retaining subscribers.The presentation addresses the challenges faced by OTT platforms, including the unpredictability of content acquisition and audience preferences. It emphasizes the difficulty of balancing content investment with returns in a competitive market, the high costs associated with marketing, and the need for continuous innovation and adaptation to stay relevant.
The impact of OTT platforms on the Bollywood film industry is significant. The competition for viewers has led to a decrease in cinema ticket sales, affecting the revenue of Bollywood films that traditionally rely on theatrical releases. Additionally, OTT platforms now pay less for film rights due to the uncertain success of films in cinemas.
Looking ahead, the future of OTT in India appears promising. The market is expected to grow by 20% annually, reaching a value of ₹1200 billion by the end of the decade. The increasing availability of affordable smartphones and internet access will drive this growth, making OTT platforms a primary source of entertainment for many viewers.
