Agile Mindset for Your Startup: From Vision to Viability
This is the presentation Jeffrey Beir & I gave at Harvard Innovation Lab on 7/23/2013.
You’ve got a big idea addressing a huge market opportunity - should be no problem getting financed and building a successful company. But that’s not how real companies get built. In the engineering world, agile has replaced traditional waterfall methodologies because it lowers risk, improves predictability and allows for mid-course correction. The same applies when thinking about how you build your business.
Abby and Jeffrey will present a framework for building your business with an agile mindset and explain why most companies should be built this way...

Scrum Master Lessons from my 4 Year Old Son
At a recent cookout, my 4 year old son, Dawson, ran for the back yard and easily joined a game of hide and seek. Watching this unfold, I realized that these kids are naturally agile. They got straight to playing (the value) and didn’t need a lot of ceremony to get there. They kids all did a quick hello, told Dawson what game they were playing, and invited him to join in (daily scrum). Then they played.
He and his friends self-organize, self-manage, and solve problems on the fly. They naturally exhibit the agile values and scrum practices that many adults struggle with daily.
For example, most parents have been bombarded with an unending stream of “Why’s?” from their child. Why does this work? Why did that happen? Why? Why? Why? While this line of questioning can be stressing, it is also invaluable to finding the root cause of an issue. Scrum teams use this approach – called The 5-Why’s – to get past technical issues and down to interpersonal issues that could be hindering the team.
This session is a fun discussion about the behaviors I’ve noticed in my son and how they translate to important lessons that all scrum master need to learn to better serve their teams.
The argument for agile development
Agile development is a methodology that allows work to be done closer to estimates, gives customers more control over projects, and simplifies workloads. It increases accountability, allows for more innovation and marketing potential, and can increase profits. While not perfect, adopting agile development requires customer buy-in and will provide tough lessons initially. Next steps to consider agile development include reading more about it, appointing champions, acquiring necessary tools, and getting started with implementation.
The promise and peril of Agile and Lean practices
Why you may to consider adopting Agile or Lean practices, how they differ from each other, what benefits you can expect, and what obstacles you may face.
Surviving a Hackathon and Beyond
1. The document provides tips for surviving a hackathon and beyond. It recommends focusing on minimum viable products with core features, using existing frameworks and libraries instead of reinventing the wheel, thinking in components, using version control, commenting code, getting feedback from potential users, continuously learning, being part of a community, and having fun.
2. The tips are organized into sections for before, during, and after a hackathon, as well as general practices to always follow, such as continuous learning and being part of a community.
3. The document emphasizes trimming ideas down to minimum viable products in order to deliver functional products quickly, and suggests spending time researching existing solutions before writing new code to avoid duplicating

The document provides guidance on developing a minimum viable product (MVP). It emphasizes starting small by testing one hypothesis or use case rather than launching everything. An MVP should have a clear product, audience, and fit between the two. Examples are given of early MVPs like Google Cardboard and Spot.Us. Iteration and customer feedback are important parts of the process. Constraints can foster creativity. The document stresses focusing on solving customer problems and operating in the information business rather than any single medium or technology.
Agile is Dead :: Pixels Camp 2017
This document discusses how Agile has become outdated or "dead" due to misinterpretations and misapplications over time. The author argues that many companies claim to be Agile but are actually focused on processes and tools rather than outcomes. True Agility values individuals, interactions, working software, and responding to change. The author suggests companies need to refocus on delivering value to customers rather than following rigid practices. Overall, the document criticizes a "cargo cult" mentality around Agile and advocates returning to its original principles of empowering individuals, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Agile Fundamentals and Best Practices (with Trello)

He discusses his approach to starting new ventures, which focuses on rapidly validating ideas by building minimum viable products and releasing early to test assumptions and learn from customers and metrics. Some of his key advice includes failing fast when ideas don't work, focusing on acquisition metrics over features, and prioritizing speed of delivery over perfect code in the early stages. The presentation emphasizes learning through quick iteration and putting products in front of customers as soon as possible.
Agile Living: Or How I Learned to Stop Worry and Never Be "Done"
The agile approach values iteration and learning over fixed outcomes and mental rigidity. Given the power of these ideas, what if we were to apply agile methodologies to our own lives? In this talk, content strategist and filmmaker David Dylan Thomas describes how he’s attempted to do just that and the impact it’s had on his life. He’ll also explore how technology has evolved to better leverage unpredictability and how that relates to agile being a better way to think about life and ourselves.
As a content strategist for EPAM, David Dylan Thomas has developed strategies for major clients in entertainment, publishing, and retail. He is the founder of Content Camp, co-organizer of Barcamp Philly, head of Content Strategy Philly, and the creator, director, and co-producer of Developing Philly, a web series about the rise of the Philadelphia tech community. He has given lectures on such topics as the future of content in a post-ownership economy and the hidden power of online links. To find out more about Dave you can find him here: @movie_pundit

Graspan: A Big Data System for Big Code Analysis
We built a disk-based parallel graph system, Graspan, that uses a novel edge-pair centric computation model to compute dynamic transitive closures on very large program graphs.
We implement context-sensitive pointer/alias and dataflow analyses on Graspan. An evaluation of these analyses on large codebases such as Linux shows that their Graspan implementations scale to millions of lines of code and are much simpler than their original implementations.
These analyses were used to augment the existing checkers; these augmented checkers found 132 new NULL pointer bugs and 1308 unnecessary NULL tests in Linux 4.4.0-rc5, PostgreSQL 8.3.9, and Apache httpd 2.2.18.

Need for Speed: Removing speed bumps from your Symfony projects ⚡️
No one wants their application to drag like a car stuck in the slow lane! Yet it’s all too common to encounter bumpy, pothole-filled solutions that slow the speed of any application. Symfony apps are not an exception.
In this talk, I will take you for a spin around the performance racetrack. We’ll explore common pitfalls - those hidden potholes on your application that can cause unexpected slowdowns. Learn how to spot these performance bumps early, and more importantly, how to navigate around them to keep your application running at top speed.
We will focus in particular on tuning your engine at the application level, making the right adjustments to ensure that your system responds like a well-oiled, high-performance race car.
