The document provides an overview of roles and expectations in Agile training at Itron. It discusses the key roles of the Scrum Master, Product Owner, and Development Team. The Scrum Master facilitates meetings and removes impediments for the team. The Product Owner represents customers, prioritizes work, and accepts completed items. The cross-functional Development Team delivers working software each sprint and manages its own work. It also reviews the Agile process, sprint activities like planning and retrospectives, and expectations for each role.

Scrum is certainly not a foolproof framework as it does have its own set
of limitations; which is the reason why it may not be the best fit for
every team or product. There are other Agile and Lean approaches too,
like Kanban or XP.
Therefore, what is crucial is for us to comprehend that these current
shifts call for a dynamic and progressive outlook from developers and managers. The need of the hour is to utilize the benefits that a Scrum Master brings to the table, in terms of opening up team communication and problem solving techniques.
The "2017 Scrum by Picture" is something you can call Scrum Guide illustrated. It is based on the newest version of "Scrum Guide".
You will find the theory, scrum values, scrum team, scrum events including sprint, sprint planning, daily scrum, review and retrospective as well as scrum artifacts. All of those is explained in easy to follow, illustrated nicely presentation, which can assist you to catch the idea behind Scrum.
Feel free to share "2017 Scrum by Picture" with your Scrum friends.
When I needed to do presentations of Scrum to executives and students, I started to look for existing ones. Most presentations I found were very good for detailed presentations or training. But what I was looking for was a presentation I could give in less than 15 minutes (or more if I wanted). Most of them also contained out dated content. For example, the latest changes in the Scrum framework were not present and what has been removed was still there.

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.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

function effectively and make high-quality decisions. A helper and enabler whose goal
is to support others as they achieve exceptional performance" - Bens
Facilitator or Scheduler?
» "The facilitator's job is to support everyone to do their best thinking and practice. To do
this, the facilitator encourages full participation, promotes mutual understanding and
cultivates shared responsibility. By supporting everyone to do their best thinking, a
facilitator enables group members to search for inclusive solutions and build sustainable
agreements" - Kaner
What is a facilitator?
9. SCRUM MASTER

27. SUMMARY
Description Product Owner Scrum Master Development Team
Synopsis PO is responsible for what will be developed and the
priority. The PO is most commonly a Product Manager,
but product Architects or Engineering Managers may also
be PO for some technical PBIs.
The SM is the team coach; guides
the team in creating and following its
own process (within the Itron Scrum
framework).
The cross-functional DT is responsible for how to deliver what the
PO has asked for.
PBIs POs are responsible for ensuring PBIs are properly
groomed. In TFS terms, POs maintain these fields:
DT is responsible for estimating the effort for each PBI since they do
the work. In TFS, the DT maintains the Effort field.

28. OBSERVATIONS
» Burn-down chart vs. Build-up chart.
• Burn-down is negative and places a boundary on the number of tasks.
• Build-up chart is positive and no boundary on tasks.
• Shifts perspective to building a product & focusing on accomplishments.
» Enforce high quality standards in the definition of done to reduce technical debt (deficient
code).
» Keep retrospective and demo’s separate
• Retrospective should be limited to the team. When directors are present, team members
can clam up.
• Retrospectives allow teams open forums to discuss what did and what didn’t work.
» Don’t limit sprint planning
• It takes what it takes to understand the stories and obtain story agreement between the
PO and the Team
