Kanban is a method for visualizing and limiting work in progress to improve flow and productivity. It involves mapping workflows, restricting work items in each stage, and measuring cycle times, lead times and throughput. Kanban boards are used to visualize workflows and work items moving through each stage. Implementing Kanban principles like continuous improvement and making policies explicit can help organizations become better and faster.
This document discusses Scrum, Kanban, and Scrumban approaches to agile software development. It outlines some common issues with Scrum like changing sprint scope and large team communication. Kanban uses continuous development without sprints and a visualized workflow. Scrumban aims to take the best of Scrum and Kanban by using continuous development within defined sprints and a visualized workflow to reduce idle time and avoid overloading team members. The document recommends starting Scrumban by stopping assigning all stories upfront and continuing with sprints and retrospectives.
Kanban and Scrum are both agile project management tools but differ in their level of prescription and adaptability. Kanban is more adaptive with fewer rules, using a visual board to limit work-in-progress and optimize flow. Scrum is more prescriptive, requiring fixed iterations and roles like Product Owner and Scrum Master. Both aim to deliver value continuously but Kanban allows more flexibility while Scrum provides more structure.
DevOps aims to improve teamwork and software quality by facilitating collaboration and information sharing. It addresses human weaknesses by establishing disciplined processes supported by tools. A key foundation is culture, emphasizing accountability, collaboration, and teamwork. DevOps can help teams efficiently deliver software by automating workflows like continuous integration, delivery to environments, and issue/status tracking to reduce errors and overhead.

Good luck!
The document provides an introduction to Kanban, which is a set of ideas from lean thinking for managing knowledge work. It outlines the six core properties of Kanban: 1) visualizing work, 2) limiting work-in-progress, 3) managing flow, 4) making policies explicit, 5) implementing feedback loops, and 6) making continuous evolutionary improvements. The document emphasizes that Kanban promotes evolutionary, not revolutionary, change and respect for the current process.
This document provides an introduction to Kanban basics for beginners. It discusses the origins of Kanban in the Toyota Production System and how it was adapted for software development. The core Kanban principles are visualized workflow, limiting work in progress, and continuous improvement. Examples are given of how to apply these principles, such as using minimal marketable features and Little's Law to deliver faster. Prioritizing work based on business value, cost of delay, and resource availability is also covered. The document concludes with references and recommendations for further learning about Kanban.
Stop wasting time with Java build tools. Large projects do not need complex build infrastructure - source code and configuration are enough. The Z2 environment works like many large business solutions by pulling source from repositories and running it without needing to rebuild. Z2 overcomes issues caused by a mismatch between project structure and runtime/deployment by making the repository structure match the runtime model. A demonstration of Z2 shows how typical Java frameworks integrate easily and development is improved through faster deployments without rebuilds.

How to Get Started with Kanban, and WhyIngvald Skaug
Kanban is a lightweight framework for evolutionary change that encourages continuous flow. It visualizes workflow and limits work-in-progress to expose problems and improve processes. Kanban differs from Scrum in that it can work with any process and enables gradual, step-by-step improvements rather than prescribed processes. Limiting work-in-progress helps reduce multi-tasking and bottlenecks while improving predictability, quality, and flow.

This document provides an overview of a presentation on speeding up websites. The presentation will cover measuring performance, tools for analysis, optimizations that can be made, and testing performance. It mentions looking at network requests, server response times, prefetching, sprites, responsive images, fonts, and minification. Testing tools to be discussed include the browser developer tools, PageSpeed Insights, YSlow, PhantomJS, JMeter, and BlazeMeter.
The document provides an overview of Kanban concepts and practices for managing workflow. It includes definitions of core Kanban terms like work in progress limits, visualization of workflow, and continuous improvement. Examples are given showing how teams can use cumulative flow diagrams to understand and optimize their process, including reducing bottlenecks and variability. The overall message is that limiting work in process and focusing on continuous flow of work provides benefits like shorter lead times.
The document compares the agile frameworks Kanban and Scrum, noting that while Scrum is more prescriptive by prescribing roles, iterations, and cross-functional teams, Kanban is more adaptive and only limits work-in-progress per workflow state; both tools can be combined effectively to suit different project needs as they provide complementary constraints and guidelines for optimizing workflow.
This document discusses CoffeeScript, a programming language that compiles to JavaScript. It was created by Jeremy Ashkenas in 2009 based on the idea of creating your own programming language. CoffeeScript offers syntactic sugar over JavaScript through an initial compilation step, allowing for features like string interpolation and range comprehensions while still allowing use of JavaScript libraries. While debugging CoffeeScript directly is difficult, mapping between it and JavaScript is not. The document also provides an overview of CoffeeScript features like functions, objects, conditionals, operators, loops, classes, and more.

The document describes a failed software project that suffered from tradeoffs between quality and speed due to budget and time constraints. It then introduces the Optivem Framework, which was motivated by such challenges. The framework aims to enable rapid development of high-quality enterprise software by providing standardized architecture, modeling practices, and automated testing tools out of the box. It emphasizes clean architecture, domain-driven design, and test-driven development principles to improve quality while also reducing development time through default implementations and code standards.
There are seven things that slow your software team down. Learning to conquer each of them is the key delivering faster.
Originating in the Japanese manufacturing industry in the middle of the 20th century, the ideas behind the seven wastes are still hugely relevant to software development today. I explained each one and how it slows you down, then explained how you can defeat the seven wastes and deliver faster than ever before.
Kanban is a scheduling and workflow management system developed at Toyota in the 1940s. It uses visual cues like cards or notes to manage workloads and optimize workflow. Kanban focuses on limiting work-in-progress to avoid bottlenecks. Teams use physical or online Kanban boards to visualize workflows, track work status, and improve processes through metrics like throughput and work-in-progress. Setting up Kanban involves mapping current workflows, visualizing work, focusing on continuous flow, and limiting work-in-progress using work-in-progress limits.
The document discusses the Kanban methodology for managing software development projects. It begins by explaining what Kanban is and its origins. It then outlines the key Kanban principles of visualizing workflow, limiting work-in-progress, managing flow, making policies explicit, using feedback loops, and continuously improving. Examples are provided of how to implement these principles using a Kanban board. Advanced techniques like epic clustering and swim lanes are also covered. Tips are given on getting started with Kanban and allowing it to evolve over time.
This document summarizes John Peltier's experience transitioning from Scrum to Scrumban for product development. Some key points:
- Retrospectives revealed their team was taking on too many stories at once and planning was draining.
- They adopted elements of Kanban like just-in-time planning and work-in-progress limits, while keeping Scrum elements like iterations, standups, and retrospectives.
- This "Scrumban" approach resulted in a 20% increase in productivity and improved morale. It released more control to developers and relieved pressure on product managers serving as product owners.

The document outlines 15 ways that organizations can fail at implementing DevOps practices. Some examples of failures include thinking of DevOps as only for development and operations teams, requiring certain tools like containers to do DevOps, and believing DevOps is only about automation. The document emphasizes that DevOps is primarily about culture, collaboration between teams, and removing silos. It encourages starting small with DevOps initiatives and focusing on continual improvement through iteration.

Idi2018 - Serverless does not mean OpslessLinuxaria.com
Presentaion done at Devops Day Bologna 2018.
We talk about DevOps as Dev + Ops, and the evolution of this movement, mainly on the ops point of view.
We’ll arrive to today new paradigm “NoOps”, to try to answer a question: “Is this the end of the operations team ?”
This document provides an introduction to DevOps concepts for beginners. It recommends starting with source code version control using GitHub (Step 1). It emphasizes the need for change, learning new skills, and having an open mind (Step 2). Automating tasks is key to reduce human effort (Step 3). Fundamental concepts include version control, continuous integration, configuration management, monitoring and release management (Step 4). The document assigns building a basic CI/CD pipeline using GitHub, Travis CI, Ansible and Nexus as a learning project. It encourages learners to document their understanding and identify areas for improvement and further automation.
SaltConf14 - Justin Carmony, Deseret Digital Media - Teaching Devs About DevOpsSaltStack
Let's set aside the buzzwords for a moment and have an honest discussion about DevOps. There is the idea of putting more Dev into Ops, but just as crucial (if not more crucial) is getting your Devs to think more like Ops. Most developers have little to no experience dealing with production environments, and helping them add value to DevOps efforts can be difficult. This talk will cover practical ways of mentoring Devs into more DevOps skills and responsibilities. Ultimately, the goal is to help your Devs gain the skills leading to better production health, application performance and uptime. Of course, we'll also consider how SaltStack can help.
The document discusses continuous integration and incremental development. It defines continuous integration as a pipeline with jobs that can run in parallel and produce artifacts that other jobs depend on. Incremental development involves requirement-driven development, integrity of changes not harming other parts of the system, ability to deploy changes, isolation of changes, and being ready for release at any time. The document provides examples of tools that can be used for continuous integration, such as Jenkins, Travis CI, and Bamboo. It also discusses risks of relying on CI infrastructure and people not writing tests.
This document discusses DevOps, which aims to unify software development and operations. It notes the traditional problems with handoffs between dev and ops teams, including slow deployments and finger-pointing during failures. DevOps implements automation and monitoring throughout the software lifecycle, from integration to deployment. This allows for shorter release cycles and more reliable releases aligned with business goals. The document outlines how tools like Puppet and Autobahn can automate builds, deployments, testing and other tasks to reduce waste and improve consistency. It also stresses the importance of collaboration between teams through sharing, communication and metrics.
Andrew Phillips gave a presentation on DevOps at SaltConf15. He began with a primer on DevOps, noting it is a methodology that emphasizes frequent tooling like configuration management and infrastructure as code. He explained that operations has become a software-defined endeavor, and DevOps applies development methodologies and practices to operations. This often results in organizations having two development teams - one for development and one for operations. However, creating end-to-end development teams that span the full software lifecycle is also an option, though it presents challenges. The key is for each organization to figure out which approach works best for them.
The document discusses continuous integration and incremental development. It defines continuous integration as a pipeline with jobs that can run in parallel and produce artifacts that other jobs depend on. Incremental development involves implementing features in a way that maintains the integrity of the existing system and enables easy deployment. It is driven by requirements and tests, uses source control management, and aims for the system to be releasable at any time. Continuous integration helps achieve many of the goals of incremental development through automated testing, monitoring, and deployment pipelines.
Kris Buytaert gave a talk on DevOps at DrupalCon Munich in 2012. He discussed how the silos between development and operations created problems, and how the DevOps movement aims to break down those barriers through automation, collaboration, and continuous delivery. DevOps is not defined by specific tools but by cultural and process changes like integrating operations work into the entire software lifecycle from early on. The talk covered challenges like managing data and environments across different stages and how tools like Vagrant and configuration management can help address them.
Devops, the future is here, it's just not evenly distributed yet.Kris Buytaert
This document discusses the DevOps movement and how operations and development teams can work more collaboratively. Some key points:
- DevOps aims to break down barriers between development and operations teams through better communication and automation.
- In the past, developers would deploy code without considering operational requirements, leading to problems once code was in production. DevOps promotes developing and deploying code as a team effort between devs and ops.
- Automating processes like configuration management, continuous integration, deployment and monitoring helps align dev and ops goals and allows more frequent, lower-risk deployments. Tools like Puppet, Chef, Jenkins and Nagios are mentioned.
- The document advocates for practices like test-driven
This document discusses test driven development (TDD) with Laravel. It begins with an introduction to the author and overview of TDD. The main benefits of TDD are described as code confidence, cleaner code, and fewer bugs. An example of building tests for a car wash management tool is provided to demonstrate the TDD cycle of red-green-refactor. Key points are made about what to test, including focusing on data transformations and keeping controllers skinny. Views are generally not tested, but using presenters allows views to be fully tested.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?Speck&Tech
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Operations with serverless just means you end up doing Serverless Operations on your own software.
VERSENT BLURB.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/muan/emojilib/master/emojis.json
Serverless operations is NoOps, right?
It’s not a thing. It’s not even a good idea.
NoOps === Developers doing deployments.
We already have a really good name for this: DevOps.
I’ll take two.
There you go. That’s the end of the presentation. We can all go home now. Right?
Not quite.
"Being both a developer and an operator is already tough (but critical to build good software),”
What does "DevOps" mean?
I bet there's as many definitions as people in this room.
It’s my presentation, I can quote myself.
This version leaves a lot more implications, like applying software development practices to infrastructure, etc. but is nice and simple.
But Serverless Operations definitely isn't the same as "traditional" (i.e. server-based) operations.
It's a different beast.
Because you've traded-off a bunch of things, you have to get thing things you do have right.
That’s what I’m about to go in to.
Or “OpsLess”? Which do you guys prefer?
Some of these things will be very obvious, but in order to understand the implications, we need to consider them together.
I’m going to go through the good – and less good – things about operating serverless applications and workloads.
The reality is most of these systems are complex systems, and so cannot be easily reasoned about just in our heads.
By thinking of the underlying principals holistically, we set ourselves up to make informed decisions that can be objectively evaluated.
It’s all virtualised anyway, so must of use in AWS are used to this (anyone used the new tin instances?).
Good: I didn’t want to worry about hardware anyway.
Less good: As much as it pains me to say, serverless is not for all applications.
Meltdown & Spectre! Didn't need to do anything. It’s not my problem. I pay AWS (a very small amount of money) to deal with this, and the reality is they’re much much better at it than I or you ever will be – they had it fixed before it was announced. How many on premise networks do you think are fixed by now?
When the CPUs are (maybe!) fixed, I also won't have to do anything.
I don’t even get to choose the OS! Let alone the configuration of it.
Good: Less to do/worry about. The cynic in me thinks that most businesses out there are likely to stuff their configuration up (since servers aren't their core business), so interpret as your ego allows.
Less good: If you do need to change something about the environment, you have to jump through more hoops to get it working (if it’s even possible).
Telemetry: the process of recording and transmitting the readings of an instrument.
The level of visibility you get in to your AWS environment is unprecedented, and there's no good reason NOT to use the data you get. As always, the hard part is turning it in to actionable information that you can use to make confident decisions.
I'm still yet to meet or hear of anyone say "I just can't get enough visibility in to my system" - yes there are things you can't see directly, but you can infer them through the things you can see.
Good: Unprecedented visibility, for no workLess Good: Now you’ve got to use it
The onus is now on YOU to use the data. This means you should be making data-driven decisions.
And why should you pay so much attention to optimising your functions?
The AWS free tier for Lambda and DDB doesn’t expire. API GW does.
Good: Free tier doesn’t expireWhat this means is that below a certain level of activity, it’s not worth optimising or improving things – there’s just not cost benefit to spending your attention time.
Less Good: Pressure’s on.
This is something where most everyone’s behind as far as I can see.
Once the business gets a hold of this, they’re going to get hooked on it.
Being able to objectively quantify the cost/benefit of an application to the millisecond level is going to be big, and it’s something most businesses don’t realise is possible.
Everyone’s so used to sinking thousands of dollars in to machines, and skilled engineers to configure them, they don’t even imagine they could get this kind of granularity.
Monolith function. Ugh.
The mark of a mature developer is a tendency towards simplicity.
Practically enforced micro services architecture.
Hard to say something good about complexity…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics
Good: Up-frontLess Good: Can you/your organisation handle it?
If you're organisation can't manage a monolith properly, how do you think introducing increased complexity is going to go?
No amount of Medium articles will prepare you for this.
Related to complexity.
If you’ve legitimately got a scenario where semvar doesn't work, I’d love to hear it.
Use SemVar! It will work fantastically for 99% of your use-cases, and nothing will work for that other 1%.
In that case, go with something you’re comfortable with, which should probably be semvar…
I’m guilty of not doing this right too – this is my slide to me.
This is something you have to do in traditional operations, but because it's tide up with the server of your state, it's not a separate thing to do.
In serverless, you have to specifically call it out, because you're prevented from storing it on your instance.
It is possible to store state in your functions – and you do it in specific scenarios – but usually you won’t have any there.
I even managed to convince the A Cloud Guru guys to mention this at one of their re:Invent talks last year.
Define idempotent: denoting an element of a set which is unchanged in value when multiplied or otherwise operated on by itself.
The flipside of an event-driven world with distributed systems e.g. AWS Lambda retries events three times if they fail.
Lambda retries will happen in the event of memory or timeout issues.
Good: This will make your life sooooo much easier.
Architecting for failure.
Less good: It takes some getting used to.
This is how your databases are written (e.g. transaction logs).
Easier to manage when you controlled all of the components of the system. You don’t control them any more, so you don’t get to trace everything end-to-end.
Want to keep your jobs? Be the one giving jobs to the robots.
Good: Who wants to do the same thing over and over again?
Less Good: More work up-front
No one spins up 1000 servers and configures them 1000 different ways, unless they’re insane.
They use configuration management to configure them ONE way.
I spend a lot of time explaining this to our clients.
Automation is more work up front, no doubt about it.
But automation pays dividends every time after that, every time you deploy.
The sooner you do it, the sooner you get the benefit, and the better it is.
Segway to CI/CD/CD.
Yes, this is an AWS slide.
It’s been in a bunch of talks.
Last seen: SRV302 - Building CI/CD Pipelines for Serverless Applications.
CI:
It takes discipline to write tests.
Most developers already know that they should, they just need to be given permission and time to do it.
CD:
Most of the work is around automation.
If you haven’t been through this, you’d be surprised on how much work you’ll discover.
At least with a serverless application you have as little as possible to manage.
Full “automation” is a binary state - If your process has a manual step, it’s not automated.
CD:
The Dream.
Codifies knowledge, which is great for an organisation.
Removes key person risk.
Shifts focus from menial tasks (i.e. deployment) to a focus on business tasks and value.
That’s not to say there isn’t benefit to automating parts of your deployment, but the real benefit comes when it’s all automated.
Good: Fast feedback
Fail fast.
Improve developer productivity by giving feedback earlier in the development cycle.
Especially crucial in a distributed environment.
Yes there’s SAM Local, but for any system of reasonable complexity, you’ll need to deploy to AWS.
“Works on my machine” really doesn’t cut it for serverless…
Less Good: Don’t go crazy
There’s plenty of examples of people online “mocking the world” locally trying to test their serverless functions, and I’m just not sure it’s worth it.
When I think of tests I like to think of return on investment.
Yes there are things you could test by mocking your function’s connection to DDB, but that’s probably not the best value in terms of finding bugs (which are more likely to be in your own code), and mimicking the complexity of AWS just sounds like a bad idea…
Less is more! Least privilege, that is.
Split your functions by role, give them only the access they need.
This goes hand in hand with the microservices approach.
Good: Worry about your code
Your biggest attack vector is going to be your (crappy?) code.
Less Good: VPC-based functions
They’re slow, they’re fiddly, but they’re the only way to isolate (kind of) your functions.
Keep in mind IP allocation – while Lambda can scale, the IPs in your subnet cannot.
Embrace the things you can’t control
Less to get wrong.
You didn't need them anyway.
The rest is AWS’ problem.
Make data driven decisions
You have so few things to change, make sure you have a reason for chainging them.
Have a hypothesis, test it, and act accordingly.
You have the data.
If you can't justify it with data, then you should probably leave it alone (i.e. let AWS decide)
Automation is your friend
Don’t repeat yourself.
Unless your project is a toy.
Be clear about where your state is
Make sure it’s in a good place e.g. not global variables, etc.
Make it idempotent
Takes more work, but you’ll thank yourself.
Will help you manage your state properly.
Get versioning right
Use semvar.
Make backwards compatible changes
Makes complexity manageable.
A stitch in time saves nine.
So remember, do less, not more, because less is more.
Work smarter, not harder.
