Using the Job theory and Job to be Done framework, there is a sure path to build a pool of interested audience to experiment and validate your hypothesis and then turn them into your early adopters
Presented at Build Stuff (19th November 2014)
Ralph Johnson defined architecture as "the decisions that you wish you could get right early in a project, but that you are not necessarily more likely to get them right than any other". Given our inability to tell the future how can we design effectively for it? Much project management thinking is based on the elimination of uncertainty, and advice on software architecture and guidance for future-proofing code often revolves around adding complexity to embrace uncertainty. In most cases, this is exactly the opposite path to the one that should be taken.
The talk looks at how uncertainty, lack of knowledge and options can be used to partition and structure the code in a system.

The Three Big Eng/Prod Collaboration Traps (and What to Do About Them)John Cutler
In the last year, John has met with and coached hundreds of cross-functional product development teams. One pattern stands out. Engineering leadership is passionate about embracing “product thinking” and the shift from projects to products, but they are hitting common roadblocks repeatedly. They stumble into well-worn intuition traps. They struggle with unwinding their own defense mechanisms and rebuilding mutual trust. And they have trouble speaking the language of product...especially as it relates to the bets they are advocating for.
In this talk, we’ll explore how engineering leadership can more effectively collaborate with their product management and design counterparts. What does cross-functional product DOING look like, and how can we work together to make that possible? How can you make an apples-to-apples case for working down technical debt, and investing in more resilient tooling and infra? How can you unwind the perverse incentives that keep engineers busy at the expense of outcomes and sanity?
Finally, we will explore what happens when the functional boundaries fade, revealing more capable (and happy) product teams.

Congratulations, you have been promoted to a manager role. You`ve got new pro...Lohika_Odessa_TechTalks
“In my presentation I’ll try to list the first steps that you should make on a new project in your new role. Also we will review different types of projects and challenges that you may have. I hope that my experience and suggestions, I’m about to share, will help you dive into management role quickly and painlessly. “
This presentation will be useful for everyone who wants to be a manager, to grow in this direction and who is absolutely sure that one day he or she will be promoted. It might be useful for everyone who has been promoted recently and still feels that he/she doesn’t have enough experience with different projects.
LeSS in the big bank a five-year journey.pdfDenis Tuchin
We will trace the history of LeSS in a large bank from underground to the preferred framework from the perspective of 16 LeSS-like cases.
I will tell how I grew LeSS and got a profit in the hostile organizational structure.
I will share how I sold the LeSS framework to business people who hadn’t heard anything about Agile before and wanted to save their subordinate managers.
How I helped middle managers understand their roles in the new LeSS context and how many of them were fired.
In the end, I will explain 5 years of struggle between the corporate bonus system and the LeSS principle of a single goal for all teams of one product.
StartingUp - Designing Delightful ExperienceLim Donald
Lean approach to creating great user experience.
User research does not have to be expensive and extend over a long period of time.
While company can always spend more time and budget in understanding its user, they still represent opportunity cost when there is just so many things happening in a startup. That said, starting a product without basic understanding of the users breed disaster. In this set of slides, I'll share some common techniques which allow companies to learn more about its user and design an experience that is contextual to its business and users.
I participated in Marty Cagan's Silicon Valley Product Group Workshop on How To Create Products Customers Love in San Francisco Oct 27-28, 2015. The following year I participated in Jeff Patton and Jeff Gothelf's Smart Scrum Product Ownership workshop in New York City September 15-16, 2016.
Our R&D department at Procore Technologies, Inc. asked me to share lessons from these workshops in a 20 minute lunch and learn format. It was a fun exercise to go through the workbooks and notes to pick out what I thought were valuable themes to share with others. I shared the presentation slide deck with Marty, Jeff, and Jeff and they encouraged me to post on SlideShare. This presentation represents what I thought were some of the compelling and useful messages from the workshops.

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.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

2. Let’s get acquainted
Senior Project Manager
8+ years in IT
(Project/Product Management)
• Mobile applications (iOS, Android)
• Web-solutions development and
management (Java, .Net)
• Product developing and Marketing
• Cross-functional team leadership
• SAFe Agile certified (2016)
4. What’s going on?
• Customer does not know what he wants.
• Customer wants a lot, but has no money.
• Customer wants to “do the job by himself”.
• Customer does not have the vision for the
product.
• You want to grow an account.
• You want to understand customer`s business
goals.
• You need a tool to communicate with
customer.
7. Product manager profile
Product Management – help me know
which problems are most
important to a particular user
The product manager is often
considered the CEO of the product
and is responsible for the strategy,
roadmap, and feature definition for
that product or product line. The
position may also include marketing,
forecasting, and profit and loss (P&L)
responsibilities.
14. Basic problems
If your product does not
(sufficiently) solve table stakes
problems, your product will not
be considered as a possible
solution.
You won’t get the opportunity to
compete.
15. Task:
1. Form groups of 4-5 people
2. 5 minutes: On sticky notes, think of every
service your product might provide for you
as a consumer or a small business.
3. Create a Levitt board on easel or wall
20. Task:
1. Form groups of 4-5 people
2. 5 minutes: Select 10 items from previous
workshop – no more than 3 can be table stakes;
3. Number them 1-10 first, then assign importance
H/M/L (all table stakes must be High) – and put
into order
4. Score from 1-5 one or two competitor banks at
the same items
5. one person assigns costs to the items [costs =
12,26,8,19,41,14,17,28,35,50] in any arbitrary
order ( 1-10, 10-1, odds-then-evens, etc. ) this
person is now the shopkeeper
6. Group decides collectively how to spend $100.
21.
22. Impact Mapping is a strategic
planning technique that helps
organizations manage flexible
roadmaps for iterative delivery, by
clearly communicating
assumptions, helping align activities
with overall business objectives
Deriving scope from goals
23.
24. DETERMINE MEASUREMENTS
• What to measure? (Scale)
• How to measure it? (Source of data)
• Minimal value
• Financial constrains, investment cost
• Desired Value
25. Why? Pick a problem to solve
• Why are we launching the
product?
• Why we should change how
things are now?
• Numbers matter
26. Who? Your actors
• Define actors – people who
are interested, or may
impact the goal
• Who will help?
• Who may interfere?
<someone> can help us achieve our goal by <doing
something differently>. Make the <someone> specific. Can
someone stop your team you even start?
27. How? The impact
• specify how each person’s behavior
should change
• how he (actor) can help achieve the goal
• how he can be an obstruct
You may not choose to work with all the actors you identify or
get them to do all of the impacts, but the map helps you see all
the alternative paths
28. What should we do?
• Work with features here, define
deliverables
• Do not forget about organizational
activities
• Let them be high level
31. Weighted Shortest Job First is a scheduling algorithm
(or if you prefer, prioritization method) that maximizes
the amount of whatever it is you choose to “weight” by
in a given time period through a constrained resource.
the weighting of each job (using Cost of Delay)
the duration of each job
Cost of Delay is calculated by assessing the impact of
not having something when you need it
