Presentation for Agile Denver on September 28, 2009.
Abstract:
Everyone knows Agile is hard to do effectively. So how can it be simple?
It can't be simple, but keeping simple in mind can help avoid a number
of problems which tend to make agile harder! Confused? Then come to this
presentation which is designed to illuminate certain areas of agility
where teams and organizations tend to make things hard on themselves
rather than taking a simple approach.
"Simple Agile" is all about living the common agile phrase "Do the
simplest thing that works." This presentation will explore Simple Agile
planning, meetings, development, and testing along with other tangential
areas. The presentation combines some PowerPoint slides, some audience
participation and some group discussion. Come prepared to participate!
Presentation to Lonetree PMI Roundtable on August 27, 2008.
Abstract:
According to the Wall Street Journal agile development has "crossed the chasm." Why then are there still strong pockets of intense resistance to agile? This presentation takes a look at some of the most common misconceptions about agile development. It exposes the truth behind the myths and backs up many of the points with actual industry data. In the process, a basic business case for agility is created. The goal of this session is for all participants to leave with the knowledge necessary to answer the question "Why Agile?" In addition, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the realities of agile development and how it can help organizations.
How to do SCRUM and how are we doing it in practice at Klarna TLV.
Covering the next topics: sprints, retro + demo, standup, pair programming, code quality, MVP, continuous integration, continuous deployment, and more...
Agile Innovation - Product Management in Turbulent timesVasco Duarte
In today’s world we are constantly confronted with the message that the competition is breeding down our necks, that the market and environment are changing and we need to change with them. And most importantly, we are told that we need to listen to our customers to be able to provide the right products.
We as a Product Managers need to be able to see beyond the basic product decisions, e.g. do we add feature A or feature B? We need to think beyond the silo of our function.

Practical DevSecOps: Fundamentals of Successful ProgramsMatt Tesauro
From ONUG Fall 2022:
"Shift Left'' and automation have turned from ideals to meaningless buzzwords. Instead of riding the hype train, let's get real and cover practical and real-world examples taken from actual product security successes. Not every business is the same, neither will their DevSecOps program.
In this talk, I'll cover the fundamentals of common to successful DevSecOps programs as well as a grab bag of useful techniques to consider. These are lessons learned doing AppSec at a wide variety of companies including Rackspace, Pearson, a fortune 500 financial, Duo Security and Cognizant Healthcare. Bruce Lee said "Research your own experience. Absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, add what is essentially your own". The goal of this talk is to provide you with enough examples to build your own pragmatic and practical DevSecOps program or maybe absorb a new technique or two into your existing program.

Webinar three processes for uncomplicating pm by heap director of productProduct School
Having product data is not the same thing as using that data to make better decisions. And having data in front of you isn’t the same as using data to build things your customers will love. So, how do product teams go from data to insights? What processes do successful product teams use to transform product problems--and the data-- into products that solve those problems?
Join us to learn how teams at Heap are combining complete Heap data with clearly defined processes and prioritization to make cross-team collaboration easier and improve product outcomes.
In this webinar, Product Management leader, Vijay Umapathy, will provide three comprehensive processes your team can adopt immediately. We’ll also send you three templates you can bring back to your teams so you can get started right away.

Descripción:
En esta sesión me gustaría compartir mi experiencia trabajando con Trunk-Based Development (TBD) durante los últimos años, tras haber pasado muchos otros con diversas estrategias de branching.
Empezando por intentar entender “por qué hacemos lo que hacemos”, qué buscamos realmente con cada práctica y principio, la idea es ver durante la sesión qué ventajas ofrece trabajar con TBD, sus inconvenientes, cuándo considero que tiene sentido hacerlo… y cuándo no.
Tras una primera parte de la charla más “unidireccional”, habrá una segunda parte ya plenamente grupal y participativa, donde todo el mundo pueda compartir sus experiencias, dudas, inquietudes, etc., para reflexionar y aprender juntes :-)

How Product Managers & Developers Deliver Value at AvvoDanielle Martin
I gave a talk at Code Fellows' Partner Power Hour series about how product managers and developers work together at Avvo -- including lessons we've learned and tips for dev students starting their careers.
Tired of doing upfront test script creation in your testing efforts? Feeling bad for demotivating your testers? Want something to replace this sickening approach to software testing? This presentation outlines why test scripts are not useful, and how test ideas are the new way forward to better testing. Coverage, traceability, reporting, automation and skills are all covered. Take a quick look and see if you can see there is another way to do software testing that is actually pure common sense.

When people have heard about Flight Levels as 3 levels of interrelated goals: strategy level, end-to-end coordination level, and operational level, they cannot help but trying to map which current roles in the organization should be at which levels. This is a misunderstanding because Flight Levels are not about organization structure but what is it really about? This talk is an attempt to present a pocket guide of Flight Levels that can help you quickly get started in the right direction of the journey.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
