A presentation by Colin Bird of RippleRock given at the Agile Practitioners Group 26/3/14.
We look at some of the common wastes we find in the software delivery lifecycle, particularly as the programme size increases. These wastes contribute to a long Lead time for delivery to the customer. We then explore approaches to reducing or avoiding these wasteful areas.
The PPT is about scaling agile across various non-cross-functional teams and the various experiments that were done before arriving at a methodology that worked for the teams.
DevOps, sibling of Agile is born of the need to improve IT service delivery agility to the more stable environment.
DevOps movement emphasizes tearing the boundaries between makers (Development) & caretakers (Operations) of IT services/products.
Meet Big Agile: Testing on Large-Scale ProjectsTechWell
Are you embarking on a large-scale, globally distributed, multi-team scrum project? Have you already identified the potential testing challenges that lie ahead? Or have you belatedly encountered them and are now working on them in real-time? Five years and more than 200 projects into its agile journey, Dell Enterprise Solutions (ESG) has empirically determined that once a project extends beyond three scrum teams, interesting testing challenges arise—inconsistent “done” criteria, integration testing underscored by epic/story interdependencies across teams, test automation inconsistency, and uncoordinated regression testing. Worse yet, the more teams involved, the less likely it is that a single scrum team has the visibility to validate the overall product from a customer usage perspective as the product evolves through sprints. Geoff Meyer serves up some lessons learned from within the Dell ESG Validation organization as it evolved its agile testing and automation strategies from a waterfall-based environment to one that fully embraced agile Scrum across its entire software product portfolio.
Perforce Remote Administration makes Perforce best practices, standard tools, and administrative expertise available to any customer, large or small. The Remote Administration program monitors and analyzes Perforce servers to ensure ongoing high performance, as well as providing a standard, efficient server configuration. Learn what the Remote Administration program is all about and how it can benefit your Perforce installation.
This deck illustrates a Blueprint for DevOps-as-a-Service (DaaS), example metrics that are relevant to different stakeholders of DevOps services, and a process for developing metrics for DaaS.
Tries to evoke some interest in EVM w.r.t agile values and principles based software delivery. Intention is only to invoke curiosity and aid further R&D.
How do measure our progress in a journey towards continuous integration? What are other people doing?
This presentation provides an measuring stick for CD Maturity and simple pattern for reviewing your current situation and deciding what to work on next.

Infrastructure as Code Maturity Model v1Gary Stafford
Systematically Evolving an Organization’s Infrastructure . The original version of the IaC Maturity Model. See the latest version here: https://www.slideshare.net/garystafford/how-mature-is-your-infrastructure.
A global development organization—in seven cities on three continents—has developers all using agile practices to develop complex applications. In addition to the common problems faced by distributed teams, they must deal with attrition rates in excess of 50 percent, possible loss of intellectual property, and the need to integrate the work of multiple Scrum teams into a single build. James Lynn describes an organizational structure that includes implementation teams, known as “the Factory.” Developers in the Factory often have little in-depth knowledge of the application or customer. Assisting the Factory are architecture teams that provide oversight, communication, coordination, and technical direction. The architecture teams include new roles such as Code Trolls who develop reference implementations for services and patterns to ensure the production of consistent code to common coding standards and quality measurements. These trolls review code against metrics standards, test case standards, and coverage. Learn how one organization successfully coordinated the efforts of massive, distributed development projects.

WSO2Con USA 2017: Building a Successful Delivery Team for Customer SuccessWSO2
Ensuring customer success is the the highest priority when we engage with customers. We need to strive to get the customers into production within the shortest time possible to make sure they have sustainable use of WSO2 products. The key to success is to understand the right products for the solution, define an iterative architecture, come up with an agile engagement model and define clarity in terms of scope and acceptance.
The WSO2 Delivery team is well experienced in ensuring customer success with their experiences in the support and services space. Join this session to learn how to best position WSO2 products and learn some best practices in the engagement models.
The world of a software house is a constant search for compromise between quality and costs. In many cases, the cost-cutting starts from the test automation. Then you start to talk about ROI but recognize that numbers are not on your side. We were there and what we have found out is that only a complete change in our approach allows us to find common ground with our clients. I will reveal one detail from the presentation - we are not talking about test automation with clients anymore - as a result we do it more and more.
Are you surprised that success automatically generates new challenges which we further translate into opportunities? We had to reconsider our approach to the test automation environment, internal frameworks and the way we share them between projects, including code ownership, … And again, one simple but unobvious solution allows us to both deliver what we promise and to earn more on our projects.
As we have been reshaping our approach to the test automation, we had to change the way of delivery too. One of the main decisions was skip out the role of test automation engineer (or software developer in test). We decided to go with the whole team approach which is consistent with the way we sell it.
Find it interesting? Join me and listen to our story about how we have transformed test automation.
Patching is Your Friend in the New World Order of EPM and ERP CloudDatavail

Automation Culture: Essential to Agile SuccessTechWell
For organizations developing large-scale applications, transitioning to agile is challenging enough. If your organization has not yet adopted an automation culture, brace yourself for a big surprise because automation is essential to agile success. From the safety nets provided by automated unit and acceptance tests to the automation of build, build verification, and deployment processes, the iterative nature of agile demands a culture of automation across your engineering organization. Geoff Meyer shares lessons learned in adopting a test automation culture as the Dell Enterprise Systems Group simultaneously adopted Scrum and agile processes across its entire software product portfolio. Learn to address the practical challenges of establishing an automation culture at the outset by ensuring that your organizational makeover incorporates changes to your hiring, staffing, and training practices. Find out how you can apply automation beyond the Scrum team in areas including continuous integration, scale and stress testing, and performance testing.
Engineering DevOps Right the First TimeMarc Hornbeek
Companies with high-performing IT organizations are twice as likely to exceed their profitability, market share and productivity goals. These are impressive results which every business would like to accomplish before competitors beat them to it. Only a minority of enterprises are achieving high-performance DevOps implementations. Many are struggling to realize DevOps at all, at the level of business units and enterprise. An engineering approach for businesses and enterprises to implement DevOps, at the business or enterprise level meets specific business transformation goals in the fastest time with the least cost and without false starts. An engineering approach which leads to DevOps success quickly and without false starts will be presented. A unique one-of-a-kind physical model of an electro-mechanical DevOps machine and results of DevOps pipeline software simulations will be displayed and used to demonstrate the principles of DevOps stage optimizations.
Introducing the Enterprise Transformation Meta ModelRenee Troughton
Finally there is a meta model out there to be able to simply and easily compare and contrast not only Agile methods but any type of change that you may be introducing into an organisation.
This presentation lightly covers the model, but importantly goes through over fifty Agile and edgy Agile related methods and movements, highlighting where they sit in the model.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
