This talk was first given in 2009 at Lindholmen Software Day. I uploaded it since I realized that the content is still as relevant! Today agile development has become mainstream. Almost 80% of companies in a survey from 2009 reported that they were doing agile development. So, has agile delivered on its promises? This talk suggests that the results currently displayed by most organizations are quite modest compared to the spectacular results described by leading agile evangelists. Based on ten of years experience with agile development and introducing agile to teams, the talk will provide concrete advice in three key areas for teams that want to get even better.

Microlearning has been a buzzword for L&D teams by featuring on the top of the trend charts for a while now. It has its rightful place in the arsenal the learning leaders have at their disposal, but it is hardly the panacea it is often made out to be. In this interactive webinar Amit Garg, Founder & CEO of Upside Learning, and Margie Meacham, Author of the book ‘AI in Talent Development’, will discuss the nuts and bolts of getting microlearning right. They will go into the "What? Why? & How?" of microlearning, minus the hype.

Dojos are the darling of technical learning and organizational transformation these days, but are they all they’re cracked up to be or just the latest industry fad? Join David Laribee, Head of Dojos/Strategic Advisor, and Anne Steiner, VP of Product Agility at Cprime, as they dig deeper into all things Dojo. We’ll learn how Dojos can become incubators for elite product development teams and serve as a more effective way to deploy and cultivate internal coaching capabilities. Then we’ll explore several advanced topics: measuring Dojo ROI; Dojos versus traditional training programs; sustaining learning momentum after a team’s Dojo experience; and, Dojos as a core component of a larger digital transformation strategy. Through real examples and stories, Dave and Anne will share the learnings DevJam (now Cprime) has had in helping dozens of company’s set up and tune Dojo experiences over the last five years. In the end, you‘ll get a quick head start — whether you’re championing a Dojo approach in your organization or tuning an existing immersive learning environment toward scale. In this webinar you'll learn: *The basics of the Dojo approach. *How we create time and space for a team to focus on their challenge. *How we coach teams in using metrics within their Dojo challenge and beyond *How we work with groups at scale to create the conditions for lasting and continuous change

The future of Test Management in agile

Tom Roden

Technical excellence, meaning e.g. quality code, sound architecture, good test automation and coverage, continuous integration and continuous deployment, is the pre-requisite of sustainable software development. Sustainability of software development is essential for improving the Return On Investment and extending the life cycle of software products and services. In my talk I will explain why the majority of organizations is still not making effective management decisions to ensure they get technical excellence. I will argue that technical excellence is impossible to buy from a software vendor and impossible to enforce in contractual terms. The other side to this subject is my second argument: the only way to ensure technical excellence is to have a skilled and motivated team that takes responsible of it, and giving that team the responsibility and means to ensure technical excellence I will go over my personal experiences relating to management decisions regarding technical excellence and illustrate the thinking that is behind the ineffective decision-making related to technical excellence. In conclusion, I will describe what kind of change of mindset is required for making effective management decisions regarding technical excellence.

Understanding the function of an Agile Coach is much more feasible once we acknowledge the set of “why’s” described in the previous section. An Agile Coach is a professional who will assist the organisation in solving the types of problems listed above. It’s possible to do it in different ways; however, let’s explore a few details regarding what is the gist of the activity of Agile Coaching. We can summarise the essence of the work of an Agile Coach using a model called “The Agile Coaching DNA”. This DNA works as a compass to guide the decisions about which practices and approaches we can use to help clients achieve better results.

The Agile Coaching DNA - Overview

Manoel Pimentel Medeiros

“Operational Excellence,” “Performance Excellence,” “Business Excellence” – No matter what you call it, organizations are looking for solutions that yield better outcomes when executing their business plans and strategies. Many organizations do a decent job of designing, defining, and writing their plans to improve performance but very few organizations follow through with those plans and achieve the goals they have established. Key Topics: * What is Operational Excellence? * Decomposing OPEX * The many roads to Rome: Improving your performance

ICT role in 21st century education and its challenges

In the thrilling conclusion to 2023, ransomware groups had a banner year, really outdoing themselves in the "make everyone's life miserable" department. LockBit 3.0 took gold in the hacking olympics, followed by the plucky upstarts Clop and ALPHV/BlackCat. Apparently, 48% of organizations were feeling left out and decided to get in on the cyber attack action. Business services won the "most likely to get digitally mugged" award, with education and retail nipping at their heels. Hackers expanded their repertoire beyond boring old encryption to the much more exciting world of extortion. The US, UK and Canada took top honors in the "countries most likely to pay up" category. Bitcoins were the currency of choice for discerning hackers, because who doesn't love untraceable money?

Join Tammy Rutherford as she walks through the pros and cons of corporate and higher ed collaborating. And the challenges of these different technology platforms working together for a brighter future.
