This meeting is a waste of my time. When was the last time you had that thought? Was it because the conversation wasn't focused, or people couldn't agree, or maybe they were in violent agreement, but couldn't see it? How easily do you think you can get this meeting back on track? In this session, you will learn a skill that you can apply on the spot that will help you focus the conversation and drive to consensus. Everything you need is probably already in the room.
This technique is specifically for conversations around the features, functions, and behaviors of your product. Most people are visual thinkers, so give them something visual to focus on. You can do that by walking up to the whiteboard and drawing out what people are talking about. By visually capturing the conversation in a public way, you will help all participants understand each other and come to consensus faster. But I can't draw, you say. Neither can I, and I’ve been successfully using this technique for over 15 years. If you can draw a straight-ish line and a box, you have all the drawing skills necessary.
In this engaging workshop, you will learn how to create a basic sketch of an interface using some simple sketching techniques and UX principles as well as practice thinking-on-your-feet that will help you comfortably do this with a group.
I have used this technique to help teams focus the conversation, visualize the requirements they were requesting, quickly experiment with new ideas, and provide detailed input that I can use to design the outcome. Often, the sketch (or a photo of it) acts as the deliverable for simple problems, eliminating the need for more formal wireframes. This technique is accessible to everyone. You don’t need any special software and anyone on the team can use it. Pick up the pen and get on track again.

A presentation by Matthew van den Honert B-tech, Owner, CereusSA (Pty) Ltd, South Africa.
Delivered during the 38th annual SAPICS event for supply chain professionals in Sun City, South Africa.
What is the risk of non-compliance to certification schemes and audit standards in the food industry? There are many certification schemes available on the global stage. Each of these have been designed to better the organisation, however many companies merely implement these in order to have a certificate. The risk of non-compliance is potentially catastrophic to the manufacturer. The presentation will look at a case by case basis where the effective lack of management and adherence to the management systems resulted in outbreaks which destroyed national and global supply chains, effected economies and sunk organisations.
I have tried to present maximum detail on android booting sequence in a very abstract way. I hope it would be useful. If you find any correction needed please mention it on comments. Happy Coding :)
Announcing AWS CodeBuild - January 2017 Online Teck TalksAmazon Web Services
Today’s cutting edge companies have software release cycles measured in days instead of months. This agility is enabled by the DevOps practice of continuous integration and delivery, which automates building, testing, and deploying all code changes. This automation helps you catch bugs sooner and accelerates developer productivity. In this session, we’ll share the processes followed by Amazon engineers and discuss how you can bring them to your company by using a set of application lifecycle management tools from AWS: the newly announced AWS CodeBuild service, AWS CodePipeline, and AWS CodeDeploy.
Learning Objectives:
• Understand the concepts of DevOps, continuous integration, and continuous delivery
• Learn about Amazon’s DevOps practices
• Hear an overview of how to build a continuous integration and continuous delivery workflow using the combination of CodeBuild, CodePipeline, and CodeDeploy
Test Environment Management (TEM) is a function in the software delivery process which aids the software testing cycle by providing a validated, stable and usable test-environment to execute the test scenarios or replicate bugs.
