A Sith Lord wants to build a Death Star to destroy planets but faces several challenges in implementing an Agile development approach within a large, traditional organization. Key issues include gaining funding approval, creating cross-functional teams, determining requirements and design upfront, managing distributed development, conducting testing at scale, and achieving frequent releases in controlled environments. The presentation outlines how addressing these issues through Agile practices like Scrum could enable building a functional Death Star.
Beyond the Slide Deck: Creating & Delivering Great PresentationsReadyTalk
Presentations are critical communications events for companies, because they're always given to inform or persuade, and the result of a presentation is almost always a decision. For these reasons, the quality of the presentation content, materials and presenting skills are major factors in achieving the desired results from a presentation.
A great presentation persuades and inspires; a poor presentation damages confidence in the ideas and the organization behind them. This webinar examines the three critical success factors for presenting - content, medium and delivery - and provides practical advice on optimizing each of these dimensions in your presentations.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
