Most traditional projects capture the majority of their lessons learned at the end of the project. The intent behind capturing these lessons is to allow the organization to apply them to future projects with a similar business or technical domain, or to projects that have similar team dynamics.
This approach, frankly, is too little, too late. We need to apply the benefits of learning as we go—on our current project, and as soon as possible.
Agile projects schedule continuous improvement activities into the plan as part of the methodology. The agile approach to lessons learned is deliberate and frequent, and it helps ensure that the team regularly considers adaptation and improvement to the point where it becomes habitual and part of their normal way of working.
We will look at the T&T and K&S that are part of this “Learn” step:
Retrospectives
Knowledge Sharing
Process Tailoring
Principles of Systems Thinking (Complex, Adaptive, Chaos)
Process Analysis
Continuous Improvement Processes
Self Assessment
Today many teams and companies are turning to Agile product development. Scrum is among the most popular choices. The promises from Agile are several. Still it is good advice to do a couple of things before you go Agile. In the following I will list and discuss five things to do before you go Agile.
Are you trapped in a hamster wheel of meetings, updating tracking tools, trying to keep stories progressing and generally being the “Scrum secretary” for everything that others are not doing themselves? Whilst you might be aware that this is not the most effective way to spend your time, you may not know how to transition out of this situation and what the more impactful activities are to transition to.
In this session we will explore what the most effective Scrum Masters and Agile Coaches focus on as well as some strategies for freeing up your time and building your skills in order to make a much bigger difference for your Scrum Team and surrounding organisation.
Learn the basics of the agile way-of-life that has helped many companies realize their potential in the market. The agile secret sauce was once a thing that was only enjoyed by software organizations on the East and West coasts, but is now invading Indianapolis -- increasing productivity, making teams empowered (and happier!), and helping managers focus less on the taskmaster role and more on the important stuff.
Chase Sowden, Barcoding’s supply chain architect, leads a workshop that focuses on eliminating waste from business operations. Sowden explains why determining customers’ requirements, obtaining organization-wide buy-in, examining each process, identifying a problem, and looking for a solution will help companies improve their daily processes.

The Age Of New Reality Marketing V5.1 FinalTony Mooney
It\'s been a bug-bear of mine for many years that the average marketing skill set has not moved on very much from the 1960\'s model of 4 \'P\'s (Product, Price, Promotion, Place). Or that marketing is still largely synonomous with advertising - and spam advertising at that. This is a presentation I did to a marketing forum out in Singapore, where I\'ve tried to outline the new capabilities of the marketer of the 21st century. I also postulate the (controversial) perspective that a chunk of this new capability - especially around data and decisioning - might be better out sourced, leaving the internal marketing skills to be concentrated on strategy and proposition. See what you think. [Sorry you won\'t have my spoken narrative just yet but the slides are reasonably self explanatory]

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
