Knowledge Management Lecture 1: definition, history and presence

Stefan Urbanek

1. Knowledge management aims to leverage collective wisdom to increase organizational responsiveness and innovation through the continuous flow of knowledge to the right people at the right time. 2. It involves strategies, tools, and techniques for managing both explicit knowledge that is recorded as well as tacit knowledge that resides within people. 3. Knowledge management has its roots in the recognition that much of an organization's valuable knowledge walks out the door, and emerged as a field in the 1980s with the proliferation of information technology.

Benefits include reduced time-to-market, increased revenue and profit margins. Examples show companies saving billions through KM. Knowledge is formed from data and information, and can be explicit or tacit. Tacit knowledge is stored in people's minds while explicit knowledge is written down. KM tools and communities of practice help capture and share knowledge.

Agile Testing - The Anh Do

Scrum Breakfast Vietnam

Agile Testing is the topic which was presented at Scrum Breakfast in Da Nang on July 2014 and gained many positive feedbacks from participants. That is the reason why we decide to bring this topic to Scrum Breakfast in HCMC this month. The trend of Agile Software Development recently has raised the questions about testing activity. The Agile and principles always mention about teamwork, shorten the feedback time, inspect and adapt… but how about testing, how about the role of the tester? Actually testing never become less importance even in an Agile Project. The only different is that Testing now is actually an activity, and not a phase. That’s why it is not “visible” in Agile project. The Scrum Breakfast Event this time will bring Agile Testing in to the table, helps us understand more about the new mindset of Testing activity and how we could maximize the benefit of testing base on Agile thinking. – Topic : AGILE TESTING – Speaker: Mr. Do The Anh – Scrum Master at Axon Active Vietnam If you are interested in this topic, please be invited to join our event.

The document discusses reasons why estimates tend to be wrong and ways to improve estimating. It identifies five common reasons for inaccurate estimates: ambiguous requirements, assumptions instead of facts, lack of breakdown structure, single-point estimates, and poor work processes. It also notes that off-the-cuff estimates in response to vague questions like "can this be done by Friday?" contribute to errors. The document advocates for more accurate estimation techniques like defining requirements, breaking down work, and acknowledging uncertainty through ranges rather than precise dates.

Scrum Bangalore

An MVP is a development technique where an initial product version is created with basic features to satisfy early users, allowing feedback to guide further development before a final product. It has the minimum functionality needed for early users but demonstrates future potential value, and uses feedback to prioritize future improvements. An MVP team typically consists of around 10 cross-functional members including a product owner and scrum master, working in short 10-minute sprints to iteratively build out the product.
