This new approach allows him to learn quickly and improve the likelihood of sustainable business success.
Staying research led with almost no resources (UXcamp 2019)Kea Zhang
It's not easy doing research, staying research-led and being insights-driven as a startup, with (almost) no resources. Here I share some tips on how we do this at Teston!
Building on the Shoulders of Giants: the Story of Bitbucket PipelinesAtlassian
When the Atlassian Dev Tools team looked to innovate on continuous integration and delivery, we explored many ways to bring the build and deployment pipeline closer to developers and Bitbucket. This led us to think outside the existing product boundaries of Bamboo and build on top of the Bitbucket Connect platform.
James Bryant, a senior designer on the Software Team, will take you through how his team decided to build on top of a platform instead of building out new products. It involves defining a vision, guiding a team with an experience, and testing with customers early and often to build the new Bitbucket Pipelines feature.
You’ll come away from this session with a framework for adopting an experience-driven strategy, and tips to help give your agile teams a vision to build on top of a platform.
Products covered:
Bitbucket, Bamboo
You want to integrate skilled testing and development work. But how do you accomplish this without developers accidentally subverting the testing process or testers becoming an obstruction? Efficient, deep testing requires “critical distance” from the development process, commitment and planning to build a testable product, dedication to uncovering the truth, responsiveness among team members, and often a skill set that developers alone—or testers alone—do not ordinarily possess. James Bach presents a model—a redesign of the famous Agile Testing Quadrants that distinguished between business vs. technical facing tests and supporting vs. critiquing―that frames these dynamics and helps teams think through the nature of development and testing roles and how they might blend, conflict, or support each other on an Agile project. James includes a brief discussion of the original Agile Testing Quadrants model, which the presenters believe has created much confusion about the role of testing in Agile.
This document discusses how to be successful with outsourcing truss design work. It suggests that outsourcing can work if the right processes are followed, including thoroughly vetting design resources, requiring proper licensing and insurance, clearly defining expectations upfront, establishing uniform design criteria, and ensuring frequent interaction between parties for synergistic teamwork.

This document discusses moving advertising and branding toward more participatory and interactive models. It suggests conceptualizing brands as APIs and platforms that allow users to project themselves. The author advocates for generating campaign models with as little waste as possible using lean startup principles of continuous learning through prototyping, testing and customer interaction. A process of customer discovery is outlined involving generating hypotheses, talking to customers, being honest about findings and repeating the process of learning and building minimal viable products or campaigns.
Creating innovation engines organizational patterns ver 2.0toriat123
This document discusses creating team-based innovation engines. It proposes that innovation should be grown, not found, through an iterative and incremental process driven by delivering value. Key aspects of the proposed model include:
1) Iterative and incremental work with frequent reviews and adjustments based on delivered value, not rigid project plans.
2) Distributed decision making through establishing shared awareness, clarifying roles and accountability, and allowing any team member to speak up about concerns.
3) Big and visible planning and action through experimentation and focusing each week on actions that can deliver the most value given the current landscape.

The exact point where Design Thinking, Lean Startup, Agile meet togetherEmiliano Soldi
Three fascinating disciplines. Three approaches that help to create innovative products and services.
But where does one start and the other ends? How to maximize the potential of the three methodologies? How to synchronize them avoiding overlaps or waste?
In this speech I will talk about how I use the three approaches to cover the whole life cycle inherent in the creation of innovative products: from the ideation, to the release in production in incremental MVP.
Scrum and Kanban are not enough - Agile Slovenia 2013Wiktor Żołnowski
Scrum and Kanban are not enough to make an organization agile. Good organizations choose practices that fit their needs, like valuing individuals, working software, customer collaboration and adaptability. While common project methods focus on fixed plans, agile emphasizes adapting to changes. Scaling agile means dividing work into independent sub-products developed by autonomous teams with communication. Stickers on a wall won't help without addressing cultural and technical foundations for agility.

T3CON 19 Scrum for web agencies, does it really work?David Denicolò
Scrum frameworks can work for web agencies but may need adaptation. Typical challenges for web agencies include small projects, budgets, teams, and stakeholders not being fully involved in Scrum. Scrum works best for long-term, complex products with dedicated teams and POs. Some adaptations include using smaller Scrum teams, hybrid Scrumban approaches, no estimates, integrating designers into teams, and focusing on deploying MVPS and learning from feedback. Open discussion of how others have implemented Scrum in web agencies is encouraged.
The document provides lessons learned from searching for, considering, and working with co-founders. It emphasizes treating co-founding like a marriage by setting up vesting agreements and clear communication habits. When considering a co-founder, focus on intrinsic motivations and whether visions align. When working together, establish clear leadership and processes to resolve issues. Overall, co-founding requires treating it seriously like a long-term relationship and commitment.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Underestimating the time it takes to talk to people
Building too much, testing the problem too little
Not taking risks, not being creative

Forgetting you really only have about 1.5 days to work
