Variations of these slides have been used in a variety of talks.
These slides support discussions on why stories work, and when they don't. And, on story mapping, how and why it works.
Creating a backlog of user stories is pretty straight forward but it doesn't help you when it comes to decisions like what to build first, how to prioritize and groom the backlog, how to scope and plan the project, and how to visualize progress. The traditional backlog is simply too flat and often too long to help you see the bigger picture and make good decisions. User Story Mapping helps simplify all of these common project issues. By adding a third dimension to your backlog, your team will make better decisions about priorities, scope, and planning while improving your ability to visualize progress.
In this practical session I’ll cover the basics of user story mapping before walking you through case studies of how our teams are using this approach and the results we are achieving. I'll show you the before, during, and after pictures from several projects so that you can understand how our maps progress during the projects and how we use them to influence iterative development, promote good decision making, and visualize priorities, plans, scope and progress.
User Story Mapping Workshop (Design Skills 2016)Bartosz Mozyrko
User Story Mapping (USM) is a top-down approach of gathering "requirements" in agile environments.
"A user story map arranges user stories into a useful model to help understand the functionality of the system, identify holes and omissions in your backlog, and effectively plan holistic releases that deliver value to users and business with each release (from Jeff Patton's The New User Story Backlog Is a Map)."

Lean Startup + Story Mapping = Awesome Products FasterBrad Swanson
To deliver the right outcomes, you need to learn your customers needs and validate your assumptions as early as possible. This means getting an early version of your product completed to start testing, validating and improving. This session will demonstrate how to combine Lean Startup and User Story Mapping techniques to determine where to start and how to learn early and often.
Participants will start with a partially completed Lean Canvas to flesh out and then define a product roadmap by building a Story Map. We will use Lean Startup concepts of Minimal Viable Product (MVP) and validated learning to focus on outcome over output.
Learning objectives:
Understand the importance of accelerated learning and techniques to achieve it
How a Lean Canvas can help shape your product vision and MVP
How to build a story map to create a product roadmap
How to use a story map to validate your users' journey
User Story Maps: Secrets for Better Backlogs and PlanningAaron Sanders
User story mapping is an intuitive way to build and organize a product backlog. During this session you’ll get hands-on experience building a user story map. You’ll learn:
How story mapping drives productive conversations with users and stakeholders.
How to plan incremental releases of your product using minimal holistic slices that deliver value at each product release.
Secrets to effective prioritization for both planning releases, and figuring out what to build next.
Tactical management of your backlog as you grow your working software to releasability.
The backlog building and managing strategies in this session will take you well beyond the agile basics.

Teresa Torres - An introduction to modern product discovery - Productized16Productized
The world of product management is changing quickly. In the past five years alone, we’ve seen the rise of The Lean Startup, design thinking, the Jobs-to-be-done framework, design sprints, OKRs, and much more. It can be hard for product teams to keep up. In this talk, you’ll learn a simple framework for how to make sense of all of these trends. You’ll learn how to mix and match methods in a way that leads to a coherent strategy that leads to better products.
Teresa is a product coach helping teams adopt user-centered, hypothesis-driven product development practices, and is the creator of Product Talk. She works with companies of all sizes on integrating user research, experimentation, and the right analytics into the product development process resulting in better product decisions.
Behind every great product is a great team doing work in a way that guarantees results. They are following a roadmap from the starting point to the end product. But a product roadmap can be elusive. This talk addresses why it is important and presents an approach to make one.
This is adapted from our workshop at Mind the Product/London 2017. In this full-day session, we talked through the purposes of a roadmap and a process for establishing your product's vision, gaining alignment with your stakeholders, validating themes, and presenting to upper level execs in order to maximize your team's impact.

Writing Good User Stories (Hint: It's not about writing)one80
User stories are typically the foundation of the Product Backlog. However, the original purpose has been lost. This is from a presentation that was given to help remind everyone of what User Stories are, and what they aren't. The purpose of User Stories is to drive conversations, not to hand "requirements" from one group to the next.

Slides de la session "Abaisser les barrières", présenter à Agile France 2012.
"Les obstacles se suivent et ne ressemblent pas. Pourtant, qu'ils soient techniques, organisationnels ou structurels, chaque solution à ces problèmes dépend des hommes et femmes qui l'actionneront. De la même façon, la meilleure idée du monde ne verra jamais le jour si les équipes n'arrivent pas à travailler ensemble. L'humain est au centre plus que jamais.
Je vous raconterai comment la confiance ne se décrète pas, ainsi que les pistes suivies pour que développeurs, marketing, production, product owners, scrum masters et direction évoluent dans un climat de collaboration plutôt que de défiance. Nous parlerons de one on one, d'ateliers, d'objectif commun, de confiance, de communautés de pratiques, de fun, d'humilité."
As products and technologies continue to evolve, so too does the role of Product Management. We take a look at what Product Management is in 2016 and also ask some product experts and influencers what it will look like in the future.

#Insamlingsforum 2015 - How to get more donations from your web pageBeate Sørum
Too many nonprofits leave far too much money on the table with their websites. This presentation takes you through best practice on donation form design, and introduces you to the Core Model (by UX agency Netlife Research) to better help you guide your users towards your desired action. And in the end: Raise a LOT more money online.
How to get people from intention to donationBeate Sørum
Session from International Fundraising Congress 2015 (#IFC2015).
We are leaving so much money on the table, by not making it easy enough to give. We leave the hard work on the donor - rather than making the investments and doing it ourselves. In this session, techiques and tools to start fixing our problems were delivered. How to design a good donation form. How to get a good web site strategy. How to use behavioral economics to ethically and in a good way influence your design in a way that influences the way your donors behave.

My talk at PromaxBDA's Connect3.0 events in Australia and New Zealand.
From Social Gimmicks to Social Business
Let’s face it: in almost 10 years of social media the industry hasn’t really changed much. Most broadcasters have a hard time really engaging audiences. Most companies rarely go beyond an occasional campaign or retweet-sweepstake. And it’s our own fault.
We failed to show real business impact, convince management, make employees really understand the new transparency and lay the foundation for more social companies.
Sharing our Pitch Deck with the community. This is the deck we used to raise our pre-seed funding and got $1.4M.
We are sharing this because we know the pain we went through when figuring out how to make a presentable deck for potential investors. It is very hard in the SaaS space.
Most of the content on the internet gives you advice that is only usable if you already have a scaled product and a proof of concept. What if you only have an awesome product?
That's what we had and that was enough. We break everything down for you here, slide by slide. Hope this helps at least a startup or two out there.
Go get them! ;)

Innovating Inference - Remote Triggering of Large Language Models on HPC Clus...Globus
Large Language Models (LLMs) are currently the center of attention in the tech world, particularly for their potential to advance research. In this presentation, we'll explore a straightforward and effective method for quickly initiating inference runs on supercomputers using the vLLM tool with Globus Compute, specifically on the Polaris system at ALCF. We'll begin by briefly discussing the popularity and applications of LLMs in various fields. Following this, we will introduce the vLLM tool, and explain how it integrates with Globus Compute to efficiently manage LLM operations on Polaris. Attendees will learn the practical aspects of setting up and remotely triggering LLMs from local machines, focusing on ease of use and efficiency. This talk is ideal for researchers and practitioners looking to leverage the power of LLMs in their work, offering a clear guide to harnessing supercomputing resources for quick and effective LLM inference.
How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.
Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
Globus Compute wth IRI Workflows - GlobusWorld 2024Globus
As part of the DOE Integrated Research Infrastructure (IRI) program, NERSC at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab and ALCF at Argonne National Lab are working closely with General Atomics on accelerating the computing requirements of the DIII-D experiment. As part of the work the team is investigating ways to speedup the time to solution for many different parts of the DIII-D workflow including how they run jobs on HPC systems. One of these routes is looking at Globus Compute as a way to replace the current method for managing tasks and we describe a brief proof of concept showing how Globus Compute could help to schedule jobs and be a tool to connect compute at different facilities.

Stories
are
an
an?dote
to
“requirements”
SoYware
development
has
been
steered
wrong
by
the
word
‘requirement,’
defined
in
the
dic?onary
as
“something
mandatory
or
obligatory.”
The
word
carries
a
connota?on
of
absolu?sm
and
permanence,
inhibitors
to
embracing
change.
And
the
word
‘requirement’
is
just
plain
wrong.

Talk
about

and
why
What
I
was
thinking
of
was
the
way
users
some?mes
tell
stories
about
the
cool
new
things
the
soYware
they
use
does:
“I type in the zip code and it
automatically fills in the city and state
without me having to touch a button!”
I
think
that
was
the
example
that
triggered
the
idea.
If
you
can
tell
stories
about
what
the
soYware
does
and
generate
energy
and
interest
and
a
vision
in
your
listener's
mind,
then
why
not
tell
stories
before
the
soYware
does
it?

For

the
business
paying
for

What
would

2. Use simple visualizations to anchor the stories
you tell
3.Tell the whole story to find the parts that matter
most
4. Think things through: minimize output,
maximize outcome and impact
5. Build to minimum viable product tests to find
what’s minimum and viable in the market
Effective stories connect everyone to the purpose
of your product
