Agile 2013, Dave West - Agile ALM: A Horror / Feel Good / Fantasy Story

•

0 gefällt mir•688 views

*** See more on: http://tasktop.com/resources/videos *** Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is described as the application of business management to the practice of software delivery unifying the practices of management, requirements, development, test and release into an integrated lifecycle. ALM is traditionally connected to tools, and thus, for many Agile advocates it is in direct contradiction to the principles of Agility. But, as Agile becomes mainstream and scales to teams of teams, the application of traditional business management and tools to the practice of Agility is crucial. Agility must move out of the Agile ghetto to embrace rather than shun ALM. It is time to consider flow and transparency, the key tenants of ALM in the context of Agile. In this talk Dave West, Chief Product Officer of Tasktop and former Forrester Analyst, describes what Agile ALM looks like and how organizations need to concentrate on the manufacturing process of software delivery and maintenance. Introducing an end to end tool and practice based approach that supports rapid feedback, improved flow and management discipline. In this talk, Dave covers the following points :- • The challenge of Agile ALM • Why ALM is a great friend to enterprise Agile • Customer case studies and examples • What it means to you

The Case for Value Stream Architecture (Mik Kersten, Carmen DeArdo)

Carmen DeArdo

Agile teams speak in points and iterations, but project and business managers think in terms of dollars and dates. This conceptual and language barrier makes strategic business planning, funding, and progress management a significant challenge for sustained large-scale Agile. This session will include multiple case studies from large-scale Agile adoptions that we were part of and have supported over the past 7 years and how Agile values/principles went beyond just the development organizational boundaries into strategic planning and management.

Dollars and Dates are Killing Agile

Rally Software

In the 21st century, organisations need to ● Put the customer in the centre of our focus ● Shed outdated ways of thinking ● Embrace an agile mindset ● Incorporate new ways of working ● Leverage the pace of change for competitive advantage This talk explores what it means to be agile in a business context. It looks at the key elements needed, how they are interwoven and what is needed for organisations to transform their thinking and behaviour into new ways of working. Business Agility is about putting the customer at the centre of the organization’s focus, changing from measuring activities to outcomes and creating an ecosystem which unleashes the productivity and innovation already present in the people in the organisation.

Agile has become mainstream in the IT industry, since that the multiplication of Agile practices which makes Agile implementation complex and uncertain, we have started to see failure in Agile implementations. During this presentation we will start a simplification process by going back to the source of Agile, understand what Agile is and what it is not. We will discover what is the Heart of Agile, its essence, and how it embraces management.

Agile Adoption is a big organization transition project. A big bang approach to Agile Adoption involves real risks and may lead to failure. Instead, small, continuous, and valuable improvements are more viable for most organizations. In this interactive session, we will start with an overview of the Agile mindset, values and principles, and will highlight the major differences between Agile and traditional approaches to managing software projects. Then, we will explain our approach for adopting agile which is incremental and iterative in nature. Finally, we will present some case studies and will share some interesting observations and conclusions collected through working with more than 40 companies during the last 6 years.

In agile we like to say that teams should own their own process by choosing their way of working, their “WoW.” Not only is this true of agile software development teams, it is also true for DevOps. DevOps in the enterprise is interesting because there is more to it that Dev + Ops: we also have DevSecOps, BizDevOps, and Database DevOps to take into consideration, not to mention the realities of support and release management in an established enterprise. Because every organization is different, one strategy, one “process size”, does not fit all. Worse yet, every organization faces a changing environment within which it operates, so not only does it need a WoW that meets its current needs it needs to know how to evolve that WoW as its situation evolves.

A 40 minute introduction to DevOps for the Wellington DevOps Meetup, March 2021. Rob forgot to talk about DevSecOps, which was a fundamental topic, and the general concept of "Shift left". Only so much you can fit in an hour, but they are good topics to research further. Rob also mentioned some books IT Revolution DevOps Forum is the best sources of free ebooks about Devops. It costs you an email signup, but it is worth it. Team of Teams, Stanley McChrystal - good for business agility. (See also Brave New Work, by Aaron Dignan, as Rob's favourite primer on new ways of working) The Phoenix Project, by Gene Kim et al. - KoolAid intro to Devops, convinces most people. Devops Handbook, gene Kim at al - good general refence Continuous Delivery, Humble and Farley - still the definitive textbook The Checklist Manifesto, Atul Gawande - in praise of checklists Field Guide to Human Error, Sidney Dekker - safety culture influences Devops (see also Dekker's two Youtube videos on Safety Differently and Just Culture) Rob England consults and trains in IT locally in Welly tealunicorn.com/nwomit Or see the work Rob and Cherry do together at enterprise level tealunicorn.com/clients

The Scrum framework only provides the structure and how a team should work. Is adapting Scrum enough for a team to succeed? There are situations when things just don’t sound logical and disagreement to requirements arise outside the meeting room. In this session, we will learn some examples of tools, which can help us to avoid misunderstandings and disable the 20/80 syndrome in meetings. ——— Speaker: Sebastian Sussman – CIO at Axon Active Vietnam

OK, I’m ready to DevOp. Now what? We’ve heard a lot about the technologies behind DevOps, and even a bit on the processes that some DevOps shops employ. What we haven’t heard too much about directly is a fundamental matter of bootstrapping. If you’re a leader or influencer in a software or IT shop, you’re sold on this DevOps idea but overwhelmed by the difference between where you are now and where you need to be, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve heard all about the unicorns of the movement, and what they are doing. Much time is spent talking about their innovative technologies. But how did they get there? Moreover, how can YOU get there? We’re going to spend some time discussing how to get started and find success on the rocky road to DevOps. We’re going to talk about the roles of executives, middle managers, front line managers, and individual contributors in this transformation. We’ll talk about the layered approach to transforming your culture, and building the processes and tool chains on top of it. At the tactical level, we’re going to talk about an example team and what their first year looks like, what are the major milestones they will reach, and how to measure their success along the way.

Application development is already challenging in the best of times, so how can you handle it when your entire development team is suddenly working from home? According to a Gartner survey, 88 percent of companies have encouraged or required employees to work from home since March 2020. Unfortunately, this has set too many AppDev teams adrift, unprepared for the new normal of telecommuting. Some businesses have adopted stopgap solutions that aren’t sustainable in the long run, while others are feeling the pinch of tightened budgets and stressed employees. If you’ve got challenges here too, we can help. Watch the hour-long webinar where we’ll discuss the three essential factors that separate the high achieving remote application development teams from those struggling to adapt.

Sildes of an internal talk given at Twitter similar to a previous webinar for Redhat with the same title. Speeding up development is a key concern, cloud and technology improvements like Docker speed up key steps that make continuous delivery possible. Breaking up the work into many separate microservices and datastores with stable APIs allows teams to make progress independently so that the organization scales. Monolithic apps are preferred for small projects, built by small teams and when very low latency and high efficiency is the primary requirement. Monitoring microservices is currently a challenge with solutions starting to emerge.

Applied tactics for your transformation

The software development process is a systematic approach used to design, develop, and deploy software applications. It involves a series of steps that ensure efficient and high-quality software delivery. This description provides an overview of the software development process and its key components. The first phase of the process is requirements gathering. During this stage, developers work closely with stakeholders to identify and document the software's functional and non-functional requirements. This includes understanding user needs, defining system behavior, and establishing project goals. Once the requirements are gathered, the next step is system design. This involves creating a detailed architecture and design for the software. Developers determine how the different components of the system will interact, design the user interface, and plan for data storage and processing. After the system design, the development phase begins. Developers write the code according to the design specifications. They use programming languages and tools to implement the software's features and functionality. This phase involves writing and testing individual modules, integrating them, and ensuring they work together seamlessly. Testing is a critical part of the software development process. It helps identify and fix defects or issues in the software. Developers perform various types of testing, including unit testing (testing individual units of code), integration testing (testing how different components work together), and system testing (testing the entire system as a whole). Testing ensures that the software meets the specified requirements and functions correctly. Once the software is developed and tested, it undergoes a deployment phase. This involves preparing the software for release and distribution. Developers package the software, create installation routines, and document user guides or manuals. They may also collaborate with operations teams to set up servers, configure databases, and ensure the software is ready to be deployed in the desired environment. After deployment, the software enters a maintenance phase. During this phase, developers address bug fixes, security updates, and software enhancements. They may also provide technical support to users, handle user feedback, and optimize the software's performance. Throughout the software development process, project management plays a crucial role. Project managers oversee the development team, allocate resources, monitor progress, and ensure timely delivery. They also handle communication with stakeholders, manage risks, and make decisions to keep the project on track. In recent years, agile methodologies have gained popularity in software development. Agile approaches emphasize iterative and collaborative development, with a focus on adaptability and responsiveness to changing requirements. Scrum and Kanban are examples of agile frameworks commonly used in software development.

Behavior-driven development (BDD) is a hot topic in the development community. Not only does a properly implemented BDD process help drive increased automation and quicker development cycles, it also facilitates better collaboration between departments and reduces siloed communication. An ideal partner of continuous integration/delivery, BDD can help solve many testing bottlenecks associated with DevOps. For all its benefits, BDD is underadopted. Only 10–25 percent of development organizations have implemented or are experimenting with a BDD process. Organizations are hesitant to transition to BDD from their current approach for many reasons, typically focusing on people, process, and technology changes. Kevin Dunne presents a successful framework for considering any potential roadblocks, evaluating your readiness for change, and making a seamless transition. Agile is an approach centered around continuous improvement, and Kevin provides plenty of takeaways for teams who are just learning about BDD, for teams who have undergone a stable transition—and for those teams that are somewhere in between.

When organizations connect and measure the impact of their IT investments on the business’ strategy, business and technology leaders are able to partner more effectively and accelerate the delivery of real business value. But to do so, these teams must be seamlessly aligned throughout the delivery pipeline, able to quickly identify and resolve bottlenecks, and work together to optimize their processes end-to-end. Flow Metrics enable organizations to measure what matters in software delivery, optimizing the flow of business value from ideation to operation and turning IT from a project-oriented cost center to a profit-generating product operating model. Key Takeaways: Discover how to align business and IT leaders to optimize value delivery using the Flow Framework™ Learn how to use Flow Metrics to expose bottlenecks and reveal opportunities to improve time-to-market, responsiveness to customers, and quality Understand how to create a seamless end-to-end flow of business value in large-scale application delivery using Blueprint Storyteller and Tasktop Hub

How to Drive Maximum Business Value from IT Investments with the Flow Framework

To remain relevant amid increasing market disruption, organizations have no choice but to compress their software delivery timelines to deliver features customers want, faster. Frequently, tactical decisions are made to add people, invest in more tools, and increase the amount of work in teams’ backlogs without achieving the desired results. Agile transformations introduce methodologies and frameworks without the appropriate support mechanisms for success. To enable high performance and inform strategic decisions, organizations need a new foundation. During this on-demand webinar, Tasktop Flow Framework Engagement Manager, Kristen Biddulph, presents how Flow Metrics provide that foundation, irrespective of methodology or framework, by surfacing end-to-end data on an organization’s flow of work, providing insights that will help them meet their goals.

IT within large enterprises can span vast and complex business portfolios, with numerous external and internal-facing products and their domains. The delivery and maintenance of these products is supported by a network of tools, teams, technologies and processes, all with their own unique variants. The primary goal of the shift to a product-oriented model is to increase business agility and to satisfy the diverse and ever-changing needs of the customer. Organizations must react quickly to customer needs to accelerate the flow of business value from ideation to operation. However, the way the work is traced and measured is slowing down the time to value. This lack of visibility makes it impossible to know if value is accelerating, time-to-value is getting shorter, waste is decreasing, value work is prioritized and whether demand is outweighing capacity. By automating and visualizing the flow of work and abstracting the end-to-end data across the toolchain underpinning your product value streams, you can get an MRI of your product’s health to help answer those questions and take informed action before it’s too late. During this on-demand webinar, Tasktop Senior Flow Advisor, Laksh Ranganathan, presents how the Flow Framework™ and Flow Metrics can help organizations make work within product value streams visible and create a data-driven blueprint for scaled success across a portfolio of products.

The project to product movement is quickly gathering speed - a recent Gartner report found that 85% of respondents are shifting to a product-centric mentality. However, the complexity and uncertainty of software delivery at scale, coupled with the sheer number of people involved in the process, is too much for traditional project management techniques. Motivation is not enough to achieve a successful transformation—the product-centric model requires new skill sets, different investments and a change in culture. What does the shift away from project-thinking really look like? During this webinar, Tasktop VP of Product Development, Nicole Bryan, combines our own journey with the experience of working with our enterprise customers, to paint a clear picture of the cross-organizational challenges in store - and how you can address them by: - Adopting a “customer-first” mindset - Appointing a Product Value Stream Lead and a Product Manager - Implementing the Flow Framework™ to align the language of IT with the language of the business

Modern enterprises increasingly rely on software to keep the lights on and lay the foundations for long-term sustainable growth. Among many things, IT leaders are tasked with accelerating the time to value of their software delivery value streams. But when asked, “Do you know what is slowing your software delivery teams down?”, why do IT leaders typically not know the answer? Methodologies such as Agile and DevOps have been adopted to accelerate the time between build to deploy, yet the benefits are often only felt at a localized level (more sprints completed, higher number of deployments etc.) without a tangible link to business outcomes. Enter Value Stream Architecture. During this webinar, Senior Value Stream Architect, Dan Feminella, presents: - The business case for Value Stream Architecture - Why your organization needs it in order to scale Agile and DevOps - How to architect for end-to-end flow of business value from customer request to delivery and back through the customer feedback loop

There is no denying that Jira has taken over the developer space. Most developers only want to use Jira, and many organizations are taking advantage of the flexibility of Jira by making it their single source of truth for all software delivery teams. If Jira is your single source of truth, it’s easy to believe you don’t need to connect to the rest of your value stream. But what about when you have multiple Jira instances across Jira, Jira Cloud and Data Center? The truth is, in order to ensure cross-team visibility, traceability and overarching reporting, you don’t need to look past Jira for the need to integrate. This on-demand webinar discusses and demonstrates why you need to integrate your Jira instances to: - Increase collaboration and reduce informal handovers - Automate information flow to enable traceability across multiple Jira system - Seamlessly accommodate organization change (mergers, acquisitions, reorgs), minimizing team disruptions - Centralize fragmented data in a reporting database to identify bottlenecks
