Over the past several years, the lean startup movement has made the Minimal Viable Product (MVP) a key approach to incrementally discovering effective products and services. In this talk, Levent Gurses will discuss a 5 step MVP process for building great minimum viable products that's been used in real client engagements. His process has been developed working with more than 20 enterprise full-stack and mobile clients over the course of several years. Topics will include the challenges of creating the MVP vision, scoping the activity, what should an MVP cost in time and money, and what should you have when you are “done”. Not only sharing his tales of MVP development, he will provide insights in how he's developed methods to effectively drive vision and development execution.
What is an MVP?
A product that has the absolute minimal set of core features necessary to prove a hypothesis, generally linked to commercial success or market validation. The MVP seeks the highest return on investment versus risk.
The Rise of the Lean Startup Movement
The lean startup movement came about as a result of analysis of many startup successes and failures. Development timeframes have become shorter and customer engagement has increased, which is helping companies better product-market fit and a path to success.
Presentation Outline:
• The MVP Vision (What will I have at the end of the effort?)
• Brief history of the lean startup movement
• Scoping
• Budgeting for MVP
• Features: The MVP Way
• Essential vs. peripheral features
• Must have to prove a hypothesis vs. nice to have
• Assembling a team
• Hiring contractors or vendor firms to build the MVP
• Choosing a technology
• Fake it until you make it: How to create mock features for an MVP

Room: C260
Everyone working on a new product is trying to achieve the same goal: product-market fit. Although product-market fit is one of the most important Lean Startup concepts, it’s also the least well defined. Dan Olsen shares the top advice from his book The Lean Product Playbook, including the Product-Market Fit Pyramid: an actionable model that breaks product-market fit down into 5 key elements. Dan also explains the Lean Product Process, a 6-step methodology with practical guidance on how to achieve product-market fit, illustrated with a real-world case study.
The product roadmap is a plan of action that outlines of tactical steps to execute the product strategy pushing the product ahead in the trajectory of planned direction in alignment with the product vision while accomplishing short-term and long-term product objectives
Every venture capitalist, board member and startup advisor counsels the entrepreneur to focus on building their minimum viable product (MVP). But how exactly does a company build out its MVP? Learn how the right framework guides your development from MVP to a mature product.
An introduction to the product vision board. The product vision board has originally been created by Roman Pichler. In the light of the courses we teach at Ghent University I added some changes.
The notes can be found in the ppt.

From Product Vision to Story Map - Lean / Agile Product shapingJérôme Kehrli
A lot of Software Engineering projects fail for a lack of shared vision due to poor communication among people involved in the project.
A sound maintenance of the product backlog can only be achieved if all the people have a good understanding of what they have to do (common vision).
Roman Pichler, in a post originally written in Jul 16 2012, has proposed a really interesting approach: use various canvas to create and share product vision and product backlog creation and refinement.
This presentation is a drive through these various boards and canvas that should be designed in prior to any product development: the Product Vision, the Lean Canvas, The Product Definition and the Story Map.

OVERVIEW
The talk will be primarily focussed on the native (mobile & tablet) apps market, split evenly between net-new products and substantial relaunches, however the philosophies, practices and processes are equally valuable on any interactive project, across any medium, where dealing with clients and external pressures.
The unique pressures placed on new product launches in a market with unprecedented competition, constant new entrants, low discoverability, and speed of replication/ emergence of copy-cats such as the Apps Market has a tendency to make stakeholders and decision makers squirmy in the 10th & 11th hours, persuading them to opt for the shortest road to release, resulting in incomplete, lower quality, or simply half-assed products.
This talk will arm you with the tools to be the advocate for quality, experience, and feature-completeness in the face of pushback from up top – whether that be a client, or your boss
MVP: Minimum Viable Product vs. Maximum Value ProductLiquid Reality
Start-ups and product reboots are all thinking the same thing - how quickly can we get to market? The app market is break-kneck, and being first-to-market, or soon-to-market can be important, but, not at the expense of quality. In this talk we'll explore the motivations for being first, and argue the values of being "better"
From experience, we'll focus on how to convince clients and stakeholders to buy-in to quality over "fast" - as a philosophy, as a differentiator, and as a process to making it happen.
Anyone can make an app - just look at any of the app stores, but only the ones that focus on the customer, on quality, and on the entire experience as a whole will succeed.
This talk will give you a roadmap to create better products, get and keep clients on-board with your direction, and deliver outstanding products to the market.
So you have a great product idea. Now what?! Learn how to get your Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and what methods are most effective in helping you achieve this.

Cross-Functional Teams: A Product Manager's NirvanaMovel
Cross-functional teams solve challenging problems faster by employing multi-disciplinary approach and delivering business value early and often. The fact that multi-disciplinary team members work on the same problem at the same time brings a number of advantages, of which speed of delivery and product quality are most important. The ability to listen and consider other viewpoints is a key to understanding tough problems and when applied properly, the results can be spectacular!
In this 60-minute session, we’re going to explore the benefits of cross-functional teams and look at how Product Managers can employ cross-functional teams to drive business value. We will look at key aspects of successful cross-functional teams such as:
How cross-functional teams maximize business value
* Alignment of business goals and return on investment
* How to assemble a cross-functional team
* Technology and the stack – no need to be an expert, but an understanding of the stack can help balance the business with the technical stories
* Driving user experience – here again, the PM is not a UI/UX designer, but someone who has the final say of the overall direction or “feel” of the product
* Diving the work among the x-functional team
* Epic and story definition when working with cross-functional teams
* Tracking progress
* How to prioritize features based on a technology stack
We’re going to look at ways to recruit and retain cross-functional talent and some of the organizational challenges that can arise as a result of this new team structure.
The audience of product managers, product owners, executives, technical managers and recruiting managers will learn what makes cross-functional teams successful, look at industry best practices and apply these strategies in their own organizations.

Scaling AngularJS: Enterprise SOA on the MEAN Stack (Responsive Web & Mobile)Movel
AngularJS is a modular JavaScript front-end framework and when paired with a NodeJS/Express/Mongo backend can allow for powerful, new generation applications to be built with ease and elegance. However, there are pitfalls. In particular, its paramount to start with a project organization that will allow for growth and reusability, as the assets grow and new modules are added.
When enterprise applications are built, architectural complexity and team sizes grow and as a result testability and continuous improvement becomes even more critical.
In this presentation the speakers will address how to create solid foundations for your next MEAN stack project by starting with a proven folder structure and establish test patterns and continuous delivery pipelines for all environments.
Other topics will include:
• Assets and modules
• Common libraries in Angular and Node
• Continuous integration and testing
• Continuous delivery pipeline
• Unit and functional testing for Angular
• Deployment automation with Grunt and Gulp
• Scaling up MEAN apps with cloud providers such as Amazon and Heroku
• Securing Angular apps
• Upcoming changes in Angular 2.0
Learn from the experts how they built enterprise-grade systems to support thousands of transactions using the MEAN stack.

A discussion on the upcoming new features in ES6 and how they change the way we build applications with JavaScript.
Most Notable Upcoming Changes in EcmaScript 6
Classes: Classes are now first-class citizens in ES6. The language offers support for classes ("class" keyword), constructors ("constructor" keyword) and the "extend" keyword for inheritance.
Modules: Modules provide a much needed way to segment and organize JavaScript applications in logical chunks of code. Many frameworks already provide ways to modularize large apps, but standardizing a common module structure will bring a level of interoperability between various JavaScript libraries.
Block Scoping: Scoping in JavaScript can be a confusing topic for programmers coming from more traditional Object-Oriented languages such as Java or C#. There are basically two scopes in JavaScript: global and function. Until now. With the help of the "let" keyword, ES6 enables the definition of block scopes for variables and functions.
Default Parameters: A liked feature of many other languages such as Ruby, the default parameters save endless checking of they've been passed and if they are "undefined".
Enhanced Object Literals: There is now a handy expression for property: property assignments and methods can be defined without the "function" keyword.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
