Cero a Cien: Building successful distributed agile teams
Slide deck for a presentation on how to use the Agile principles and values to build excellent distributed teams.

Performance Recruiting & Performance Management Based on Feedback in an Agile...
Performance recruiting focuses on sourcing and retaining high-value employees through a data-driven process tailored to individual roles. It emphasizes understanding both hard and soft skills as well as personality traits needed for each role. The process involves creating an "ideal role model" and comparing candidates to required dimensions through screening calls, team workshops, and cultural fit assessments. Performance management based on continuous feedback aims to create an inspiring environment for growth through self-organization and flexibility. Regular feedback from peers allows people to develop both personally and professionally, improving performance management outcomes.
Cero a Cien with Disributed Agile Teams
Matt Phillips is a Sr. Project Manager and Agile Coach at Appia in Durham, NC. Appia is also a customer of Velocity Partners.
I happen to live in Matt’s area and attended a meeting at the local Agile Leadership Network group where Matt gave a presentation entitled: Cero a Cien: Building successful distributed agile teams. (Zero to Sixty)
The basis of the presentation was Matt’s significant experience with distributed, outsourced teams. But the most important influence, was his recent experiences from his Velocity Partners engagement. At the risk of sounding self-serving, Matt and Appia feel that they “found the recipe” for success while engaging us for near shore outsourced agile teams.
Much of his advice was general in nature. But it surrounded the principles and strengths that we have established at Velocity Partners. For example, I’ll share two of his discoveries:
1) Don’t lead with cost: while cost is certainly a strong consideration, Appia and Matt led with values. They were looking for a partner, who took software development seriously. Who practiced the agile tactics AND values — even when the going got tough. A partner who valued their people and who were straight shooters. And finally, a partner who hired and developed the very best people.
2) You need to invest in face-to-face collaboration: one of the lessons Matt shared was that, if he had it to do over again, he would have planned and budgeted for MORE trips from one office to the other. And to be clear, Appia was fairly generous in this regard to begin with. He also said that he would have front-loaded much of the travel to accelerate the x-team collaboration, learning curve, and team-building, as it was that important to get things moving and accelerating.
It’s pretty cool to have clients who see both sides of things and who are more focused on goals, principles, and results; rather than simply cost.
Anyway, I highly recommend your reviewing Matt’s presentation. It’s available here via Slideshare. BTW: he did a great job in the presentation.

Essentials to Becoming a Successful PM by DocuSign Product Leader

Indispensable Project Manager
Managing projects effectively has become essential in every organisation large or small. The uncertainties of the world business economy, rapidly changing technology, and the intensifying focus on sustainability has driven many organisations to develop specific methods for managing projects and to seek highly qualified and competent people to manage those projects. These driving factors require today’s project managers to accept and adapt to change, lead diverse teams, act as ambassadors for their organisations and deal with a multitude of challenging project stakeholders.
It is clear that Project managers are placed in a unique position. They must balance their roles as leader and manager, interface with multiple types of stakeholders, are often the "face" of their organisation to its customers, and must deal with a seemingly unending stream of challenges to be successful. These challenges and the ability to address them require the project manager to maintain awareness of personal brand of and the impact it will have on project assignments, career opportunity, and the willingness of project teams to work for and support the project manager. As the profession of project management evolves and the demand for competent and value driven project managers increases, personal brand and reputation have become major factors in the criteria used to select and assign people to project leadership positions.
Indispensable Factors
The project manager must develop skills and competencies in several areas to be considered for an assign. In addition there are 4 major factors a project manager must address and continue to develop:
Accomplishability: your ability to achieve and deliver valued results.
Value/cost: the value delivered perception relative to the cost.
Supply/Demand: the market dynamics of your position, skills, etc.
Likeability: how others perceive you.
This presentation addresses the importance of the professional project manager in today’s business environment and the need for the project manager to continually enhance existing skills, adapt to a changing environment, and become a “go to” person in the organisation. Emphasis is placed on understanding the business needs of an organisation, clearly and visibly creating value from a client and supplier view point, and continually developing and managing personal brand.
Be the Top 10% of PM Interviewees by Facebook Product Leader
The document discusses how to be in the top 10% of product manager interviewees. It provides tips from a Facebook product leader on standing out in interviews. The tips include not screwing up the basics like frameworks and flow, doing mock interviews for consistency and stamina, treating interviewers as teammates, and allowing for mistakes. It also advises standing out in product design by leaving the interview wanting to build the discussed product, in product execution by assuming your answer will be emailed to a new team, and in behavior by imagining discussing with a best friend.
1st Conference - Catherine Hills - Service Design and Design Thinking
“Speaking with people. How to collaborate with and deliver value for your customers.”
It’s easy to say that we need to have “customer collaboration”, but how can we do this effectively? One way is by speaking to people, but what do you do with the information gathered to deliver valuable outcomes for them?
What does “human centred design”, “service design” and “design thinking” mean? How can we use “design sprints” and how can this be revalidated through the shorter feedback loops and frequent delivery that working with agility insists upon?
It’s all connected to human factors so let’s learn how these can combine to help us get closer to our customers and really deliver!
Catherine Hills is UX and Service Design Director at RMIT Online.
An accomplished and collaborative agile human-centered experience designer and research lead, she has worked for a range of businesses including ANZ Banking Group, SEEK, REA Group, Thoughtworks, 99designs, Envato and the University of Melbourne.

How Product Managers Can Lead a Team by fmr Pivotal Sr PM
Main Takeaways:
- Build psychological safety within a team: learn how to create a shared understanding within a team you lead so that team members are comfortable raising important issues or concerns

Maximising teamwork in delivering software products
Maximising teamwork has a big impact on effectiveness but it isn’t easy. Agile alone doesn’t guarantee this. Getting everyone working towards a shared vision requires a level of teamwork beyond just methodology. It requires everyone to challenge themselves, come out of their silos, build trust and be disciplined about improvement.
Specialisation can lead to barriers to teamwork. This talk will use ‘The Five Dysfunctions of a Team’ to see how to build a culture of openness and teamwork. We'll see how some challenges are different for different roles. We’ll see routes to improvement for the team by looking at each role through the lens of its main biases and how to correct for them.

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.
