The document discusses challenges with traditional "phase-gate" product development approaches and describes an alternative set-based decision making approach used by Toyota. Specifically, it notes that phase-gate approaches often result in project delays and cost overruns due to decisions made early in development before critical knowledge is known. In contrast, Toyota focuses on developing knowledge through rapid cycles of learning and convergence across projects, delaying design decisions as long as possible and doing more validation testing upfront to learn before designing. This set-based approach manages knowledge growth into products through cadences of learning pulled into successive launches.

Manage Agile 2016 "Von Mittleren Management zum agilen Leader" Sven Krause
Erfahrungen eines "agilen Managers" in einem klassischen Management-System.
Mitarbeiter erwarten eine agile Führung, die Geschäftsleitung schnelle Entscheidungen.
Zwischen klassischem Management und agilem Leadership besteht insbesondere für Manger der mittleren Führungseben ein Spannungsfeld. Bücher, blogs und Artikel zeigen auf, wie eine «moderne» Führung sein sollte, doch die Realität schreibt andere Wahrheiten. Erzählen möchte ich von meinen persönlichen Erfahrungen, Sorgen und erzielten Ergebnissen, um andere Manager in derselben Situation zu ermutigen und zu inspirieren.
- Es braucht Mut - aber was heisst das denn für den Manager?
- Empowered Team – Was das bedeutet und wie es dabei dem Manager ergeht?
- „Agiles“ Performance Management – Zieldefinition zum Mitarbeitersache machen
Der Weg zum «agilen» Leader eine persönliche Herausforderung.
Sie verändert einen selbst, die Art zu arbeiten und die Zufriedenheit der Mitarbeiter!

«Wie Sie im kleinen Team agil Anforderungen erarbeiten und dennoch eine große...Sven Krause
Unsere heutige Projektwelt wird zunehmend komplexer. Selbst kleine und mittlere Vorhaben haben eine immense Anzahl von Abhängigkeiten und viele Stakeholder. Diese Zunahme der allgemeinen Komplexität erschwert ein agiles Vorgehen durch die Abstimmungen und Iterationen mit den unterschiedlichen Stakeholdergruppen. Oftmals ist es auch schwierig wichtige Stakeholder aufgrund fehlender oder nur minimaler Ressourcen frühzeitig mit einzubeziehen.
In der Präsentation werde ich aufzeigen wie sie mit Hilfe des Speed Creation Ansatzes in einem kleinen interdisziplinären Team sehr agil und strukturiert arbeiten. Dabei, im Sinne des Co-Innovation Ansatzes, eine hohe Anzahl von Stakeholdern involvieren und so proaktiv zu Beteiligten und zu Fürsprechern eines Projektes machen. Dieser kollaborative Arbeitsmodus fördert das Empowerment der Projektmitarbeiter und führt so zu einer agileren und flexibleren Organisation.
Speed Creation ist ein Open Source Methodenset welches seit 2010 in verschiedenen Unternehmen eingesetzt wurde. Im Vortrag werden wir neben der Theorie auch auf Praxiserfahrungen eingehen und aufzeigen wie sich Speed Creation z.B. auch in den Stars-to-Road Innovationsprozess integrieren lässt.
The researchers surveyed 201 product management practitioners worldwide to understand what "product management" means in practice. The survey identified 14 key activities that practitioners associate with product management, including strategic management, product lifecycle management, customer needs analysis, roadmapping, and collaboration. The main goals of product management cited were profitability, value creation, and revenue generation. Practitioners viewed the role of product manager as a mini-CEO who acts as the voice of the customer, evangelist, and resource allocator to solve problems and provide leadership.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
