Costs, expenses and complications are the words most often associated with IT on companies. Actually, IT adds a lot of value to the organization. A more organized company becomes more competitive, returning higher profits and getting better structured.
Companies that become agile can introduce products to market more quickly and with a higher level of customer satisfaction. The required changes to obtain all the rewards that being agile bring are hard to reach. It demands a lot not only from developers, but also from the rest of the company.
Learn the basics of the agile way-of-life that has helped many companies realize their potential in the market. The agile secret sauce was once a thing that was only enjoyed by software organizations on the East and West coasts, but is now invading Indianapolis -- increasing productivity, making teams empowered (and happier!), and helping managers focus less on the taskmaster role and more on the important stuff.
Products and Value: An Agile Perspective BY Matt Nudelmann (GUEST PRESENTER)Samuel Chin, PMP, CSM
You may have heard of Agile methodology before, especially in the context of web development ... but can we apply Agile principles to our study of process?
In this session, guest presenter Matt Nudelman explains how to understand some core elements of process, Product and Value, from an Agile point of view. He covers a range of topics including: the difference between a product and a project, Agile project management, the 80/20 rule, what an MVP is, and defining value using the Agile framework.
We also discussed how these principles apply to the process work we've been doing, and what we can take away for practical application.

Understanding the Relationship between Lean, Agile, and DevOps: Jon's SlidesLeanKit
Jon Terry, co-CEO of LeanKit, will explain how to propel the adoption of Lean principles across your value stream with LeanKit. LeanKit was purpose-built for Lean, but with the flexibility to incorporate Agile and DevOps concepts. You’ll learn how your team can use LeanKit to visualize, measure, and improve your IT workflows.
Conclusive research findings inform us that many PMOs are disbanded in two years. Yet; we repeat the same mistakes in our PMO implementations – wasting money, resources and time. In this practical, interactive discussion the focus will be on the value driven PMO as an integrator, enabler, differentiator, and change agent in business, development and the organization in general.
Michael’s will address the essential model for PMO value enablement:
1. The two key concept of the Agile PMO – a PMO that is inherently agile, adaptive and value driven and a PMO that interfaces between Agile product delivery and the traditional Waterfall organization
2. How to ensure effective streamlined delivery by abolishing waste
3. How to effectively select and prioritize opportunities
4. How to manage resource allocation from a top down approach in an effective manner by targeting critical resources

Growing pains scaling agile in service delivery LAST Conf 2014Mia Horrigan
The team I was working with had a “great problem” – more work than we could deliver. However this success brought mixed blessings as the strain of growing so quickly was starting to show. We had a backlog of work, process issues, resourcing and quality issues and a lot of knowledge residing with one or two of the original start-up team who were now single points of failure.
The innovative, "can do" attitude of the start-up company was still there but we were having growing pains. We knew that what we were experiencing in our market (Australia) would eventually be seen in our USA market if we didn’t find a solution to our growing pains.
We looked to Lean and Agile as a multidisciplinary approach to achieving an effective product strategy, development and delivery capability that could be scaled to the whole organization.

Fundamentals of Project Management for non project managers and beginners , a very simplified version for those who don't have any Project Management background. Please give feedback if any to upgrade future presentations
In systems engineering and software engineering, requirements analysis encompasses those tasks that go into determining the needs or conditions to meet for a new or altered product or project, taking account of the possibly conflicting requirements of the various stakeholders, analyzing, documenting, validating and managing software or system requirements.
A presentation given by Steve Messenger to the APM Planning, Monitoring and Control SIG and guests at the University of Warwick, Coventry 2015.
Steve Messenger, DSDM – Agile Programme Management is to deliver what is required, when it’s needed, no more and no less.
A couple years ago, a company I was working with, asked me to share with them the use cases and benefits of Scrum. It must have really sparked the management’s interest as they asked me to come up with an Agile implementation strategy for the company. This is the presentation I would like to share with you as I believe many curious, mid size, web development shops out there might be seriously thinking about adopting Agile or some hybrid form to supplement their Waterfall process.

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.

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.

Suitability of different development methods
Agile:
• Low criticality
• Senior developers
• Requirements change often
• Small number of developers
• Culture that responds to
chaos
Plan-driven
• High criticality
• Junior developers
• Requirements do not
change often
• Large number of developers
• Culture that demands order
8. Page 8
Key factors for success
• The organization culture must support the negotiation
• People must be confidents
• Few people, but competents
• The company must promote the decisions that the developers
make
• The organization needs to have an environment that facilitates
the quick comunication among the team
9. Page 9
Why Kanui has chosen Scrum?
End of 2011
• Kanui’s launch
• Extreme Programming – XP
• No planning and/or
scope
• Go Horse Process
• “Oriented to results, whatever
they are”
10. Page 10
Why Kanui has chosen Scrum?
Beginning of 2012
• Kanui grows rapidly
• Lean-Kanban approach
• Little planning
• Features without deadline
• Stakeholders unhappy with the process
• Team not motivated
• Bad organizational climate
11. Page 11
Why Kanui has chosen Scrum?
End of 2012 entil today
• Kanui continues to grow but need to structure
• Scrum
• Medium term planning
• Scope well designed
• Business value
• Constant deliveries with defined SLA
13. Page 13
Why transitioning is hard?
• Attributes of transitioning that make it more difficult than most
other changes:
• Successful change is not entirely top-down or bottom-up
• The end state is unpredictable
• Change is being more quickly than ever before
• Best practices are dangerous
15. Page 15
The end state is unpredictable
• None of agile methods is perfect for your company
• May be a good starting point
• It’s necessary to personalize the process
• Provoke and watch
• Small pokes are not
random at the company

17. Page 17
Best practices are dangerous
• Adoption of best practices
• Process change through something
that has already been tested and
proven to work
• Decreased risk of change
• Sense of relief
With this, many people and organizations can relax
and stop the process of continuous improvement
which is essential to be agile
18. Page 18
Why it’s worth the effort
• Higher productivity and lower costs
• Improved employee engagement and job satisfaction
• Faster time to market
• Higher quality
• Improved stakeholder satisfaction
• What we’ve been doing no loger
works
19. Page 19
Did you know
that 64% of functionality delivered is rarely
or never used?
20. Page 20
Higher productivity and lower costs
• Chang in the behavior:
• of the development team
• of business people regarding projects
• Frequent feedback
• Sprints set with a fixed time
• Possibility to reprioritize each sprint
• Only work on features that users really need
21. Page 21
Improved employee engagement and job
satisfaction
• Being part throughout the life cycle of the project
• Owning a voice about the best course of the project
• Recommend improvements to coexistence and to the job
22. Page 22
Faster time to market
• The higher productivity allows to develop features faster
• Agile teams produce
incremental versions
• Stakeholders realize that
there is no need to wait all
features in a big release in
the end
23. Page 23
Higher quality
• Using several practices such as:
• Pair programming
• Refactoring
• Test driven development (TDD)
• Acceptance and integration tests
• Focus on improving the produced code
• Products with fewer defects are delivered to users
24. Page 24
Improved stakeholder satisfaction
• Work visibility
• Frequent deliveries
• Measurement of the capacity
• Team self-organized
• Daily control
• Burndown chart
25. Page 25
What we’ve been doing no longer works
• If your development process does not work anymore, it's time to
change!
• Pete Deemer, Chief Product
Officer of Yahoo!, was one of
the first to recognize the need
for change
26. Page 26
Try seeing what many don't want
• Do not restrict yourself to a single methodology
• Many possibilities: XP, Scrum, Lean-Kanban
• Study the possibilities
• Do not try to use everything you learn,
it will be stressful for everyone involved
