Teams! Make War, Not (Only) Love! at LAST Conf 2016 in Melbourne, AustraliaBernd Schiffer
Have you ever felt like your team’s continuous improvement is stalling, and all the best attempts of running effective retros don't get them to a higher performing state?
Teams that avoid conflict at all costs or even just feel uncomfortable embracing conflict have a big problem. They will sweep things under the carpet to not rock the boat. And often it doesn’t even matter if the boat is smoothly sailing or in trouble already. Hence, even game changing ideas end up under, instead of on the carpet, and can hence prevent amazing technical, product, and process improvements.
The reason for this behaviour is that people and whole teams fear conflict, as they don’t know how to deal with it. A team in harmony is a good thing after all, right? Wrong!
In this session we will address why you want conflict in your teams, healthy conflict of course, but conflict nevertheless. We’ll present useful strategies and tools on how teams and individuals can get in touch with conflict. You will learn how to utilise these strategies and tools for better outcomes and a much better team culture, too (even if the latter sounds counterintuitive).
So come along to be slightly pushed out of your theoretical comfort zone and learn to make (healthy) wars, not (only) love!
This document discusses using HAProxy to provide high availability for MySQL databases running on Amazon EC2. It describes setting up a MySQL master-master replication configuration across two EC2 instances with HAProxy load balancing between the databases. HAProxy is configured to monitor the MySQL servers and direct reads to an available master while allowing writes to both masters for redundancy.
1. The document discusses gamma-ray pre-equilibrium emission from 40Ca+48Ca and 40Ca+46Ti collisions at energies ranging from 10-25 MeV/A.
2. CoMD calculations are able to provide a unified description of pre-equilibrium phenomena by evaluating the average fluctuating dynamics.
3. The parameter φch, which represents the ratio between average and fluctuating dynamics, is found to change rapidly when multifragmentation processes occur, indicating a change in the fundamental properties of hot reaction sources.
Net Promoter System @ LAST Conference Melbourne 2013Bernd Schiffer
The Net Promoter System (NPS) is a customer feedback system that measures customer loyalty through a single question called the "ultimate question". It asks customers on a 0-10 scale how likely they are to recommend a company/product to a friend. Responses are categorized as Promoters (9-10), Passives (7-8), or Detractors (0-6). The Net Promoter Score (NPS) is calculated by subtracting the percentage of Detractors from the percentage of Promoters. While a single metric, qualitative feedback in the form of reasons is also collected. The NPS provides a relative measure to compare over time or against competitors, but cannot be used alone to determine quality
How to Piss Off Your Pair at LAST Conference 2015Bernd Schiffer
This document provides a list of strategies titled "Top 5: How to Piss Off Your Pair" along with anti-strategies to get better results when pairing or collaborating with others. The strategies include interrupting your partner whenever they do something differently than you, immediately deleting your partner's last edit, talking non-stop without giving your partner a chance to speak or contribute, complaining about your partner before they have done anything wrong, and keeping annoyances to yourself until blowing up at your partner. The document recommends doing the opposite of these strategies and provides contact information for the author.

Net Promoter System for Agile Environments @ Agile India 2014 in Bangalore, I...Bernd Schiffer
The document discusses the Net Promoter System (NPS), a customer feedback tool used to measure customer satisfaction and loyalty. It explains that NPS uses a single question called the "ultimate question" to produce a Net Promoter Score (NPScore) between -100 and 100. Customers are categorized as Promoters, Passives, or Detractors based on their response. The document also provides guidance on how to interpret NPScores and gather additional qualitative feedback to improve products and services.

Inspire Management @ LAST Conference Melbourne 2013Bernd Schiffer
Bernd Schiffer gave a presentation at the LAST Conference in Melbourne on February 8th, 2013 about Inspire Management. The presentation discussed applying Agile principles beyond software development to the entire organization. Examples were given of companies like Semco, Valve and Atlassian that have implemented Agile Management Innovations (AMIs) like self-organizing teams, open salary structures, and slack time. The presentation argued that organizations need to change their culture in order to fully adopt Agile and provided resources for learning more about AMIs and community groups pursuing new management approaches.

Net Promoter System for Agile Environments @ Agile 2013 in Nashville, TennesseeBernd Schiffer
The document discusses the Net Promoter System (NPS), a customer feedback tool used to measure customer loyalty. It explains that NPS uses a single question called the "ultimate question" to calculate a Net Promoter Score (NPScore) between -100 and 100 based on customer responses. While the NPScore provides quantitative feedback, the system also collects qualitative feedback by asking customers "Why?" to provide their reason for the score. The document cautions that an NPScore alone does not indicate market leadership and cannot be directly compared between different regions or products without common standards.
This document discusses katas, which are small practice exercises used to internalize programming fundamentals and basic steps. Katas are drawn from martial arts and involve repetition of basic tasks to build muscle memory and train programmers to use techniques subconsciously. The document provides examples of katas and recommends focusing on fundamentals, taking time with repetition, and getting feedback in order to improve skills.

Concrete Experimentation in Scrum at Scrum Gathering Shanghai 2015Bernd Schiffer
Many companies fail when it comes to turning change ideas into small and executable steps with learnings as a desired outcome. Agile day-to-day work, such as dealing with retrospective outcomes, becomes very challenging, and whole Agile transitions fail because of this inability to navigate in complex environments. Following a few simple steps to plan, execute, and learn from experiments will provide tangible outcomes, closing the gap between where you are right now and where you want to be with being Agile. If everyone followed these steps, change would be much faster and less feared.
The document provides guidelines for creating courses using iTunes U Course Manager. It describes how to get started by creating a profile and new course, then editing and organizing content by adding an outline, posts, assignments, and materials. It offers best practices for crafting an effective course, such as including learning objectives and leveraging mobility. It also covers managing enrollment by sharing enroll codes and publishing to an institution's iTunes U catalog.

Sustainable Pace - The forgotten Agile principle at YOW Perth 2019Bernd Schiffer
The document discusses the Agile principle of sustainable pace and how overtime culture can lead to unsustainable pace. It notes that overtime can negatively impact health, gender pay gaps due to family responsibilities, workplace culture, defect rates, and social relationships. It advocates improving sustainable pace by focusing on increasing individual, team, and organizational capabilities rather than just working longer hours. This includes improving skills, automating tasks, encouraging smarter work, creating autonomous teams, and providing slack in the system. The overall message is that Agile promotes pace that can be maintained indefinitely through increasing capacity rather than relying on overtime.
Agilität im Wander der Zeit und der Kulturen - Keynote at XP Days Germany 201...Bernd Schiffer
“Warum wollt ihr denn mich als Keynote-Speaker haben?” frage ich den Fachbeirat, um die Vision zu klären. Agil macht man das ja so. Als Antwort kommt ein Mix aus “Veränderung von Agil über die Jahre und kulturelle Unterschiede” und “Agil im Wandel der Zeiten und Kontinente”. Und weil ich nach Australien ausgewandert bin, kommt auch noch die Erwartung auf “eine kritische Reflexion…, wie er seine ursprünglichen Ziele anpassen musste”.
Damit kann ich was anfangen. Das Agile Mindset hat sich deutlich verändert in den letzten knapp 20 Jahren: Pair Programming ist gut, Mob Programming ist besser; Customer Collaboration ist nicht mehr genug, Customer Delight wird verlangt; Agile Teams sind die Basis, darüber hinaus skalieren wir und sind in allen Bereichen der Organisation Agil.
Kulturelle Unterschiede kenne ich auch, insbesondere zwischen Deutschland und Australien. Beispielsweise die Fähigkeit zum Konflikt oder wie direkt oder über Umwege miteinander kommuniziert wird. Aber die kulturellen Unterschiede zwischen etwa Banken und mittelständischen Organisationen wiegen doch noch schwerer als die zwischen den Kontinenten.
Persönlich bin ich - natürlich - mit einem Agile Mindset nach Australien ausgewandert. Das hat schon sehr geholfen, insbesondere das “Responding to Change”. War nicht immer einfach, aber meine Frau und ich ziehen gerade unseren australischen Nachwuchs groß und sind zur Zeit immer noch Down Under mit unserem australischen Mindset.
Agile Habit Development at LAST Conf Melbourne 2017Bernd Schiffer
How to develop habits in an Agile environment to perform better with less energy
Blame in the retro? Threats when work is not finished? Complaints rather than acting? You might have developed some bad habits here.
Are stand-ups taking forever? Are team members not updating the story board? Are retrospective actions not followed up upon? You might want to develop some good habits here.
Habits are regularly repeated routines, most often done subconsciously. Developing (the right) habits is crucial for individuals and teams to minimize the energy needed to perform at a high level. By developing a habit, more effort can be spent on the actual work rather than on the support functions.
Developing habits is not about working harder, but smarter. Habits enable you to:
get rid of bad behavior and establish good behavior
save time during meetings
boost reliability and, ultimately, trust
Research and new findings within the last years have shown enormous potential for habit development having a huge impact on personal and business behavior. Applying this to Agile seems very promising.
Resource Pools - How is This Still a Thing? at LAST Conf 2016 in Sydney, Aust...Bernd Schiffer
from http://www.xpdays.de/2017/sessions/keynote-freitag-bernd-schiffer.html
A surprising amount of companies is still using antiquated techniques like resource pools. Not only are they costly, but also hinder productivity and effectiveness. Business people wait for weeks and months to get a 20-minute job done? Not uncommon with resource pools.
Feature teams, on the other hand, do have certain characteristics providing the organisation to get things done big time: supported by product owner and team facilitator, self-organised and cross-functional, stable, dedicated, and proactive.
This session shows a path from resource pools to feature teams via self-selection of teams, including common fears and doubts during this culture-changing journey.

Scrummaster Needed Desperately at LAST Conf 2016 in Melbourne, AustraliaBernd Schiffer
There is a lot of reluctance within organisations to place ScrumMasters, let alone to spend money to hire them. Surely this role can be done by one of the developers, right? After all, it’s only a minor role, isn’t it? Far from it! The ScrumMaster is a full-time role. Without it, who can take care of the agile process on behalf of a busy Scrum team?
One way to help teams and management understand the value of the ScrumMaster’s role is to show them the volume and importance of tasks a ScrumMaster can fulfil, and the consequences of what happens if nobody takes care of these tasks. This session not only presents the 42 tasks of a ScrumMaster’s role but will clearly show that every Scrum team needs a ScrumMaster.

Net Promoter System for Agile Environments @ OOP 2015 in Munich, GermanyBernd Schiffer
1. The document discusses using the Net Promoter System (NPS) for gathering customer feedback in agile environments. NPS involves asking customers on a 0-10 scale how likely they are to recommend a product/service and categorizing them as promoters, passives, or detractors.
2. Actions for using NPS in agile development include getting feedback before, during, and after building features to help identify weak/strong products and prioritize backlogs. Employee NPS can also provide feedback.
3. The presentation warns about potential myths in using NPS, such as that a single metric can cause focus on scores rather than customer experience. NPS also requires standardization and cannot directly compare across contexts
Comparing Ways to Scale Agile at Agile Product and Project Manager MeetupBernd Schiffer
Session "Comparing Ways to Scale Agile" at the Agile Product and Project Manager Meetup in Melbourne, Australia.
These days organisations are looking for support to scale their Agile environment. There’s a difference between having one Agile team on its own, or to have several Agile teams providing value to the customer and interacting with each other.
This session will give an overview and comparison of all the different Agile scaling approaches out there, i.e.:
* Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)
* Evidence-Based Management (EBMgt)
* Disciplined Agile Delivery (DAD)
* Enterprise Transition Framework (ETF)
* Large-Scale Scrum (LeSS)
* ScALeD Agile Lean Development
* Scaling Agile @ Spotify (SA@S)
* Product Development Flow by Reinertsen (PDFbyR)

Pecha Kucha Session Agile 2011 "My Agile Suitcase" by Krishan MathisBernd Schiffer
This document outlines principles and practices for an agile approach. It emphasizes having a skilled team that listens and understands each other. The development process involves implementing features in red-green-refactor cycles, with testing at each step and embracing change. The goal is continuous self-improvement by delivering every 30 days, applying craftsmanship principles, and avoiding stagnancy through culture and trust between adults.
