value stream mapping and metrics based process mappingTKMG, Inc.
Since Mike Osterling and I released our latest book, Value Stream Mapping, we've received a lot of questions about which level of mapping--value stream vs. process--people should opt for and why/when. We've also continued to hear people claim that value stream mapping team members should include the front-line staff. Not so.

Too many organizations today suffer from silo-centric behavior and intra-organizational conflict. Yet most don’t understand what’s holding them back from achieving outstanding performance.
Value Stream Mapping (VSM), popularized in Mike Rother and John Shook’s landmark book Learning to See, is a highly effective method for improving performance across an organization. However, VSM is commonly misunderstood, misapplied and under-utilized. Properly executed, value stream mapping is much more than an operations design tool. It also results in a more engaged and knowledgeable leadership team; surfaces hidden cultural and organizational issues; and aligns values, resources, goals and priorities.
In this webinar, you’ll learn how to
* Use value stream mapping as an organizational transformation tool
* Properly scope and plan for a value stream mapping activity
* Obtain leadership consensus about the future state design
* Create and execute a highly effective Value Stream Transformation Plan
Karen Martin, recognized expert on lean in office and administrative processes, shares instruction on applying value stream mapping to non-manufacturing organizations.
Rick Austin - Portfolio mangement in an agile world [Agile DC]LeadingAgile
When organizations move to agile for software delivery, there is often tension with traditional portfolio management. This talk will illustrate how an organization can move from traditional portfolio management approaches to one that embraces agile software delivery. Doing so enables organizations to become predictable, improve the flow of value delivered, and pivot more quickly if necessary.
We will demonstrate the use of governance that allows a more adaptive portfolio management approach. We will cover topics that enable agile portfolio management including:
Lean techniques for managing flow
Effective prioritization techniques
Long range road-mapping
Demand management and planning
Progressively elaborated business cases
Validation of outcomes
Support for audit and compliance needs
These topics will be illustrated by real-world examples of portfolio management that have been proven over the last five years with a wide range of clients.

Intro to User Journey Mapping for Building Better Websites - WordCamp Ottawa...Anthony D. Paul
You’ve asked the right questions and maybe you have some personas. There’s a heap of feature requests from your client and a whole lot of content to organize into a sitemap (IA) document and wireframes. However, something’s not sitting right and you wonder how your WordPress site fits into the bigger customer journey with the client’s brand, business, and products. In this talk, I’ll show you how to get started with taking all of that subject matter expertise you’ve been collecting in your mind, and to convert it into one of several useful types of journey maps. I’ll share process, examples, context on how they fit into a larger project, and share how they help bring agreement among your client decision-makers.

Manufacturing Lead Time Reduction in Monoblock (SWJ) Pump Industry [irjet-v4 ...PERUMALSAMY M
Manufacturing lead time is the time required to produce product from its raw materials to final product.A company has to fulfill its customer needs to sustain in this competitive world. Lean has served the manufacturing sector with speed and quality. This project aims at lead time reduction in pump manufacturing company. Value Stream Map(VSM) served as an initiative for identifying bottlenecks process and waste in the manufacturing line; current state map is drawn by the observation made on the shop floor. The takt time is calculated for the demand to find out the bottleneck operations. After identifying the bottleneck operations line balancing is done. The Work In Process (WIP) inventory is reduced by balancing the workstation. Future state map is developed in the perspective of reduction of lead time and to match the takt time with bottleneck process. After line balancing implementation, the lead time for assembly of the SWJ pump is reduced 32 percent and work in process inventory is reduced 25 percent.
How to Turn Minimum Viable Products into Growth by fmr Amazon PMProduct School
An MVP is a product with a minimum set of features that solves a definite problem of users. It allows you to spend as little resources as possible to engage your first users and get useful feedback. Used correctly, an MVP can be a great tool to both manage the risk of developing a new product and guide product development as you scale.
In this event we took a brief look at some reasons why you might want an MVP, common mistakes you can avoid, and how to turn that MVP into your first marketable product. We also talked about at what point in the build-measure-learn cycle does an MVP become a final product that can grow and scale.
Agile is both a set of practices and a mindset. Success lies in understanding both “Doing Agile” as well as “Being Agile”. In this hands-on session, 5 key practices to support an Agile Mindset will be demonstrated so that you have some practical tools use immediately at work. You will also be left with some deeper challenges about what it takes achieve Organizational Agility.

Reinventing Organizations for Enterprise AgilityMichael Sahota
We present an alternative view to fitting agile into larger organisations. Inspired by Fred Laloux’ book “Reinventing Organisations”, we offer a coherent and comprehensive model for organizational development which encompasses the past and guides us into the future. Agile finds its place in these concepts, and becomes a means to move between the model’s stages.
As a leader in an organization on its agile journey, you’ll notice at various pain points that increasing agility struggles with existing organizational structures, governance systems and management expectations. We’ve understood for a while that the prevalent ways of how we run organizations are not compatible with Agile. We’ve tried to package Agile in a way that makes sense to people in organizations working the classical way.
Learn what’s new and essential about this model: the idea of organizational models developing with the evolution of human consciousness, progressing in clear stages. Now being a time where a new organisational model is emerging, and what that looks like. Learn how self-management, wholeness and evolutionary purpose shape organisations where agile will flourish and which agile can help bring about.
"People over Process" slides that are about coming back to the heart of Agile: People!
Intro - People over Process.
Agile = Culture. Whole Agile.
Focus on People: Vulnerability, Authentic Connection, Safety & Trust (VAST)
People-centric organizations (Laloux Culture Model)
People-centric Change
An insider’s account of a manager’s journey of cultural transformation. How our beliefs and assumptions radically shifted. How we found the courage to fully see what is there and accept it. Being vulnerable enough to speak our truth to allow new options to emerge. Developing the boldness to choose them.
This session is ideal for anyone working as or with managers in a traditional hierarchy and wanting to reinvent their organization.
We present an alternative view to fitting Agile into larger organizations. Inspired by Fred Laloux' book "Reinventing Organizations", we offer a coherent and comprehensive model for organizational development which encompasses the past and guides us into the future. Agile finds its place in these concepts, and becomes a means to move between the model's stages.

Whole Agile - Unleashing People & Organizations Michael Sahota
In order to fully unleash the potential of workers we need to augment Agile/Scrum with Valuing People and rewire Organizational Governance.
Valuing People is about building a place where the whole person is welcome. Where there is safety, trust and authentic connection.
Organizational Governance refers to the approaches we use to run organizations: organizational structure, planning & control, roles & titles, compensation, performance management, information access, leadership and power. It has been well understood that these typically impact Scrum significantly.
Scrum and Kanban - Getting the Most from EachMichael Sahota
Scrum is the most popular Agile methodology with Kanban a growing second choice. Learn about the core parts of each one as well as how they differ so that you can find the best fit for your team or organizational context. For example, Scrum is great when you want to shake up the status quo and transform the way you work. Kanban is great when small changes are a better fit for the environment. Learn how they work and how you can use them in your environment.
We outline a fundamentally different approach for organizational change: one where valuing people is integral to building lasting success.
Agile and Lean are a means to an end. Once we are clear what our goals are and our approach is consistent with what we truly value, then we may hope for success.
When we simplify the Agile Manifesto’s “Individuals and Interactions over Processes and Tools” we get “People over Process”. Agile is about people. It’s about a people-first culture. Lean is simliar.
Sadly, many organizations are mired in organizational debt: mistrust, politics and fear. Changing the process won’t fix this. We need to go to the root of it - to find a way to talk about and shift to a healthier culture: one that values people.
The VAST (Vulnerability, Authentic Connection, Safety and Trust) model makes the dynamics of human systems visible and clarifies where we may apply leverage to foster lasting change.

What I did (that made the difference):
1. Uncover what’s really going on
2. Share observations in a loving and caring way
3. Help people choose their own reality and destiny
Top 10 Agile Gotchas, Problems and Challenges + What you can do about themMichael Sahota
It turns out that most teams have similar types of problems that prevent them from getting the full benefits from Agile. In this talk (XP Toronto & Agile Tour 2013), I will review my top 10 Agile gotcha's and how Agile principles and practical experience can help you recover.
Here are some topics:
We don't know when our release will be done
Sprint planning meetings take forever
We stopped having retrospectives (or they are useless)
People aren't working together (esp. dev, qa, product)
We keep getting new stories
Daily standups are long and/or boring
We never finish all our stories in a Sprint
We never have time for technical improvements
It feels like we are pushing rocks up hill to keep Agile going

The business case for agile transformationMichael Sahota
There is a wide array of qualitative and quantitative research demonstrating the benefits of Agile. Unfortunately, this research does not disambiguate between the results from Agile Adoption of practices versus Agile Transformation to a new mindset and organizational culture. In this workshop, participants will learn the key differences between Adoption and Transformation as well as characterize the key benefits of each approach. Finally, participants will relate learnings to their current organizations.
Agile 2012 - An Agile Adoption and Transformation Survival GuideMichael Sahota
This survival guide (based on book) will provide you with essential mental models and a framework to navigate safely through the treacherous jungle of Agile adoption and transformation.
As much of the Agile adoption failure is a result of not understanding organizational culture, you will learn how to use the Schneider model to assess your organization.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
