Business Value of Agile Methods: Using Return on InvestmentDavid Rico
Provides a brief introduction to agile methods, an overview of popular agile methods, and a brief survey of the benefits of agile methods as reported by major industry studies. Also provides a suite of basic metrics useful for quantifying the business value of agile methods. Discusses parametric models derived from industry data, a methodology for estimating the return on investment (ROI) of agile methods, and a comparison of the costs and benefits of 11 major agile and traditional methods.
This is a session on Lean Principles for Agile Teams presented at ERUC in October 2013. This is the deck used with the LEGO building block exercise PDF.
Lean & Agile Enterprise Frameworks: For Managing Large U.S. Government Cloud ...David Rico
This is a presentation on "Lean & Agile Enterprise Frameworks: For Managing Large U.S. Government Cloud Computing Projects," which are emerging models for managing high-risk, time-sensitive R&D-oriented new product development (NPD) projects with demanding customers and fast-changing market conditions (at the enterprise, portfolio, and program levels). It establishes the context, provide a definition, and describe the value-system for lean and agile program and project management. It provides a brief survey and comparative analysis of the pros and cons of emerging lean and agile frameworks such as Enterprise Scrum, LeSS, DaD, SAFe, and RAGE. Then it describes the Scaled Agile Academy's Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) in greater detail (which is the de facto international standard for scaling the use of agile methods to the enterprise, portfolio, and program levels for both systems and software development). SAFe is hybrid model best known for "blending" megatrends such as lean and agile principles into a single unified framework, establishing an authoritative foundation for scaling agile methods to large-scale private and public sector programs, and unifying East (lean) and West (agile) into a common language for systems and software development that is both lean "and" agile. In addition to SAFe case studies, late-breaking developments on the use of "Continuous Delivery," "DevOps," and bleeding-edge "Unstructured Web Databases" at Google and Amazon to automate large sections of the enterprise value stream will be discussed (which has been successfully used by some of the world's largest firms to boost organizational productivity by one or two orders of magnitude). This briefing has been warmly received by multiple U.S. government agencies, contractors, and PMI audiences throughout Baltimore-Washington, DC.

Cloud-enabled Development: Putting the Agile into the Infrastructurebrian.white
As software development teams seek greater efficiency and effectiveness, they often find that they are held back by old IT architecture for development and test. They wrestle with low-powered servers, difficult-to-scale static environments, and a slow IT provisioning and change processes. Today, software leaders have radically changed the way they build, test, and deploy software—almost exclusively using cloud computing to power their development processes. This presentation provides specifics on which application workloads are ideal for the cloud model and how the use of cloud computing supports Agile development practices.
A presentation I did for the Agile Profesionals Network (APN) Wellington branch. Even if we have a recipe the context of the situation can mean we can\’t replicate a successful dish in a different environment. The key are Principles. Know your system, know your customer and desired output. Like a good chef have practices but understand the base principles of why things work.
Lean & Agile Thinking Principles for LeadersDavid Rico

Business Case for Agile - Time for ROI CheckTathagat Varma
When we talk of agility, we often refer to number of user stories or story points delivered, or burn down charts or velocity, etc. I call them 'lower-order agility' and howsomuch interesting they are, they make no sense to the 'higher-order agility' at business level. Why is that outrageous claims of performance, productivity and quality improvements at lower-order agility don't translate to commensurate higher-order agility? In this talk, I explore some of these issues. I also propose some ideas on how the whole notion of portfolio planning should be seen in the context of higher-order agility.
I delivered this talk on 19 July 2012 at the launch of Agile Leadership Network, Bangalore chapter, hosed by Valtech at their office.

Using SAFe to Manage U.S. Government Agencies, Portfolios, & Acquisition Prog...David Rico
Highly-practical overview of the growth of the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) 4.5 for managing multi-billion dollar U.S. Government portfolios of Petabyte-Scale Cloud-Computing Data Center-based Repositories. Starts with a brief definition and overview of portfolio management, agile timelines, government adoption, sample of competing lean and agile frameworks, and then goes into a deep-dive and cross examination of SAFe 4.5's major anatomical elements. Focuses on principles of lean and agile portfolio management, leadership, business value, and, more importantly the lean and agile value system itself. Clears up nagging misconceptions concerning SAFe, like it’s undeserved reputation as a heavy, unproven WIP-intensive traditional framework (by focusing on lean and agile thinking, practical real-world business value, and the softer principles of the agile manifesto like conversations, visualizations, flexibility, simplicity, and continuous improvement).
Lean/Agile system architecture presentation. Goes through pros/cons of upfront work and the xp/agile approach. Defines important concepts, shows examples of how things could be done and goes through tools/things that can help along the way.
Optimizing the function of Product Management will reap huge benefits for a company. By up-leveling the process, people and tools in a holistic manner an organization can boost revenues and profits greatly. In fact, the 280 Group's Product Management Team Challenges survey showed that Product Managers believe that the profitability at their company would increase an average of 34% if Product Management were fully optimized. Yet 66% of respondents had no optimization plan to make this happen.
In this webcast you'll learn what the key factors are to optimize, how to measure and benchmark them and how to create a plan for doing so. Included will be a plan outline for Product Management optimization as well as strategies and tips based on the experiences of the 280 Group, who has transformed hundreds of Product Management organizations over the past 18 years.
Join Brian Lawley, CEO and Founder of the 280 Group, the world's leading Product Management and Product Marketing consulting and training firm, for this webinar. Brian is a Certified Product Manager, Certified Product Marketing Manager and an Agile Certified Product Manager. He is the author of five bestselling Product Management books, former President of the Silicon Valley Product Management Association and is the recipient of the AIPMM Excellence in Product Management Thought Leadership Award.
All about agile certified product management and product ownerAIPMM Administration
Agile development has dramatically changed how software is delivered as well as the role of the Product Manager when working with their teams. The 280 Group Product Management Challenges survey showed that of those companies doing Agile, 70% of the Product Managers were ALSO Product Owners. Yet less than 2% of Product Managers have been trained on either role. Without a thorough understanding and deep expertise of Agile methods, such as Scrum, Lean, XP and Kanban, the Product Manager and/or Product Owner can'ÃÂt effective lead the team and drive the strategy and development of their products.
This webinar will provide all of the details about the AIPMM Agile Certified Product Manager and Product Owner credential and the 280 Group course that prepares you for taking the exam. Unlike other Agile credentials and courses that teach ONLY Product Owner information, this class teaches everything you would learn in a Product Owner course (all of the topics of a CSPO Certified Scrum Product Owner course) PLUS it teaches you the core Product Management and team leadership skills you need to succeed. After taking the course and passing the certification exam you'll be an expert in Agile and will be able to effectively lead your team. You'll also have a worldwide standard certification that shows you thoroughly understand Agile, which will help you get your next promotion and open up other opportunities.
Topics that will be covered include:
- What Agile is, and why you MUST gain a deep understanding of how it works
- The roles of the Product Manager and the Product Owner
- Key skills you must have to succeed with an agile team
- What the certification course and exam cover, and why they are critical to your career success

Cobit as IT Management Best Practice Framework.
What are the IT management issues that COBIT can help to solve?
How COBIT is one of the most comprehensive IT management best practice frameworks - from IT Strategy, Architecture, Portfolio Management to Programme and Project Management to SDLC Management to Service Support and Delivery and Measure/Evaluate.
Also, mapping of COBIT to various IT Management best practices as well as a look at the future COBIT v5 from an IT Managmenet Framework perspective.
Business IT Management - Intro to CobiT & ITILAhmad Hafeezi
Part 1 of the whole presentation on Business IT Management. This slide touches on the CobiT Framework.
This framework is mainly used as a framework for IT Governance and as a Control Methodology on an organization's IT. But, for those who have never heard of CobiT, it can be a great reference material for understanding what aspects of IT should we know about when it comes to managing IT.
CobiT is a public and highly customizable framework. Business owners do not need to follow everything that has been spelled out in the framework. They can pick and choose the processes that are relevant to them and even customize the bits and parts to suit their needs.
Product Management And Service Delivery Process - FlackVentures ExampleKate Pynn
A lifecycle methodology enforces some very important processes that deliver critical value to Service Delivery. Some key contributions are:
Business driven goals (e.g. profit, performance, credible schedules, resource effectiveness….)
Roles and responsibility clarification (e.g. delegation, decision making, optimization….)
Organizational effectiveness (e.g. resource structure for task, enable cross functional efforts….)
Planning enforcement at the beginning before major resources committed
Continuous learning enabled that builds core competency in credible delivery plans.

Agile Software Engineering and Design Thinking: Efficiency and Innovation in ...Tobias Schimmer
Presentation shown at the 2012 Institute for Enterprise Systems Symposium in Mannheim, Germany: http://www.institute-for-enterprise-systems.de/ines-symposium-2012.html
Agile and Automation have been growing up together over the past decade. Neither practice nor toolset evolves in a vacuum. Rather, they inform each-other.
This presentation looks at this history, with an eye towards where the current trends are pushing us.
Among Oracle database administrators (DBAs), "Agile" is widely regarded as a dirty word, a synonym for "sloppy programming." But in the most commercially and technically successful projects I've ever worked on, the principles of the Agile Manifesto have defined our work (specifically, the implementation of the Agile Manifesto called Extreme Programming (XP), as explained by Kent Beck). In fact, further than that: the principles of Agile, implemented as XP, have profoundly enriched my entire life—not just professionally, but personally. The contradiction between the typical DBA's perception of "Agile" and my own is, thus, stunning.
This session describes my experiences with Agile values and our implementation of them. I describe the circumstances that have led me to believe passionately that it's XP that will best assure the success of my projects. I describe what has worked for me and why, and I describe what hasn't worked and why.
The values from the Agile Manifesto don’t seem to say much about the craft of software engineering. In fact, they don’t say anything about engineering at all. However, digging a little bit deeper, one quickly realizes that the benefits of Agile methods and practices cannot be realized with low quality software. Agile depends on engineering excellence.
So forget about Agile for a moment, at least the process side of things, and pay attention to the craft of software engineering; or in other words pay attention to building software the right way. Because only then you will be able to rapidly and continuously build the right software.
In recent years the pace of change in business has accelerated and new processes and techniques for software development have evolved to meet those challenges. Agile methods have gone from fringe interest to mainstream acceptance but the methods themselves are changing too.
The differences and relative benefits are not always clear so our speaker will give an overview of agile methods, with examples of how they have been deployed in different contexts, explaining when agile methods are relevant.
He will then show how the thinking from agile methods has influenced the booming Lean Startup movement at events such as StartupWeekend, StartupBootcamp and LeanStartupMachine.
Presentation about the basics of Agile Methodologies and how they can be applied to Scientific Research. This presentation later evolved into the Agile Research method. June 2008

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
