This document provides an overview of Agile principles and practices. It discusses the Agile Manifesto and its values of individuals and interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change.

Six behaviors you can consider when hiring/adding people to an agile team, and the questions you might ask to detect whether those are the right people.
Scrum is a great way to start practising Agile. But it's not perfect. Are you struggling to get stories tested within the sprint? I sprint planning taking hours and making everyone miserable? These are the slides from the session I presented at Agile Cymru 2016, describing the experience of one team that moved from Scrum to Kanban.

As a product owner you constantly between the hammer and the anvil - trying to reach agreement between stakeholder's dreams and programmer's abilities. Here is a small overview on that.
Agile Starts With You: Personal Agility and Subversive Scrum
"You see, to do that you must start with the people – instead of jumping right into the process. You won’t be able to create an agile process, much less a culture, until you’ve created agile people." – Peter Saddington
Agile and Scrum typically evoke thoughts about software development processes, ceremonies, and tools, but at the heart of any successful Agile team are people who embody the values and principles.
As with accountability, agility begins with you, because you are the only thing that is within your domain of control. This presentation reflects on the mindset, strategies, and techniques to be personally agile, and the behaviors you can demonstrate that will infect others, and create trusting, high-performing teams.
We spend so much time focusing on conventional programming. Everyone focuses on standards, code clarity, testing, and what gems to use. Let's chat about what's done before your fingers hit the keys. Let's talk about brainstorming, requirements, stakeholders, mock-ups, and writing solid user stories and acceptance tests with Cucumber. Every project has a story - how will your next one end?
Transforming operations into devOps iterativelyOutlyer

BAIstanbul Conference - Where Business Analysts and Product Managers collideJames Mayes
Business Analysts have been a core part of major organisations for many years. In the digital world, Product Managers are a much newer breed. To the outsider, the roles often look very similar – so where are the differences, why do both continue to thrive – and where can they collaborate effectively to achieve truly great outcomes?
A 30 minute exploration of what I think leads to successful open source projects and successful enjoyment of learning git. It also introduced Commitmukkah, which will complement Commitmas by being a way to get back to basics.

Lessons learned Report - Project Management template Simon Misiewicz
Optimise-GB provides you with a free template for the Lessons Learned Report. This is a very useful document at the end of the project to take stock and divulge any issues that were identified outside the initial though process, how the teams worked well and additional benefits that may have materialised without being initially taken into account. It is good practice to complete this report and to sit down with the project team to ensure that learnings have been taken on board for future projects to ensure that the same mistakes are not repeated and good learnings are used. Please contact me should you have any questions on simon@optimise-gb.com. Many thanks Simon Misiewicz
Surprising failure factors when implementing eCommerce and Omnichannel eBusinessDivante
We work on the large Omnichannel and eCommerce projects in Europe. Therefore, we can see from the inside how many companies approach this topic. Comparing it with the obtained results, we can determine positive and negative factors influencing success with great certainty. In this presentation we share stories of companies that are not mentioned in our case studies. These are the stories of bad choices, leading to failure.
Omnichannel Customer Experience. Companies such as Amazon, Facebook, Google, Apple already know that the future of user experience is automated interface creation depending on customer needs.
The hitchhiker's guide to UXing without a UXer - Chrissy Welsh - Codemotion M...Codemotion
Sometimes you are tasked with building great things by yourself or in a small team. Bootstrapped start-ups don’t always have the budget for a dedicated Uxer to help you design the best apps, software or websites. This guide will get you started developing the right way and stop you making classic mistakes. Before you even consider touching your dev environment I will show you how to “Start with one idea”, “Think like a user” and set out your user journeys.
I had the honor of talking during Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work day. I talked about Agile specifically about self organizing and estimating using the Fibonacci series.
The creative process in blogging (and life)Jillian Leslie
Practical tips on writing, the creative process, and blogging. Presented by Jillian Leslie of Catch My Party at Bloggy Boot Camp, in Denver on September 17, 2011.
As a UX Pro, I've dealt with clients for 15 years doing user research and product design. Some clients are a dream while others can be sheer nightmares. We all develop strategies to cope and to CYA (Cover Your Apples). In 2014, I became an entrepreneur and "The Client." I discovered a whole new world of Baloney Sandwiches that vendors were trying to feed me. Talking to other Product Owners and CEO's, I discovered some trends when working with designers, consulting firms, agencies, and dev houses. I realized that my consulting practice was guilty of some of these no-no's too. This talk will go over Dos and Don'ts for working with clients. We'll cover things like visibility, process, milestones, work products, and more.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

3. Agile Manifesto
We are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it.
Through this work we have come to value:
• Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
• Working software over comprehensive documentation
• Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
• Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items on
the right, we value the items on the left more.
9. User Story
As <type of user>
I want <what do you want to do>
SO <what is the benefit>.
• As a 5th grader I want to take a picture of myself and share it with
my friends SO they can see how much fun I am having.
• As a gamer I want to build a house SO the monsters don’t kill me.
• As a 8th I want to write what I am doing SO my family knows too.
