Back in September 2007, I gave a presentation at the QUT FIT Dean's Industry Working Breakfast. The relevant portion of the mornings abstract: Focusing on the business perspective Mr Brad Clow will draw on the experience of Workingmouse in delivering commercial projects based on Agile Development Methodologies. His presentation will include not only the advantages of the approach, but issues which need to be addressed in order to successfully establish such an initiative, concerns of business projects moving to an agile approach and some of the pitfalls to avoid.

Waterfall Observations
• Requirements are mainly written in English -
incomplete (lack precision)
• Requirements are often contradictory
• Too many requirements to fit in one Person’s
head at the same time
• The client will change their mind
• Requirements clarification changes fundamental
assumptions

© Workingmouse Pty Ltd 2007. All rights reserved.

Honest Questions
• How can we estimate
• How can we commit (with integrity) to develop
the incomplete requirements to a deadline
• How can developers do quality work when scope
changes, but timeline doesn’t
• Why should developers bear the brunt of the
consequences of an inefficient process

© Workingmouse Pty Ltd 2007. All rights reserved.

First Taste
• Extreme Programming (XP) is a terrible name
• We know relatively little at the start of a project - we
learn what is truly valuable as we progress
• Just enough high-level planning up front
• Fix cost, time and quality
• Cycle around small pieces of functionality:
– Business -> requirements, Developers estimate
– Business prioritises, Developers develop
• The cost of requirements decisions are visible

Agile Liabilities

provide timely and authoritative requirements.

financial stake-holders.

Challenges for New Agile Projects
• Trust
– Dev: estimates are not promises
– Bus: dev working in the business interests
• Development
– Feature orientated approach
– Quality is a day-to-day activity
• Role Changes
– Project Manager
– QA Team

© Workingmouse Pty Ltd 2007. All rights reserved.

Summary
• Agile methodologies address real issues in
traditional software development projects.
• To succeed, agile methodologies require a high
level of collaboration between financial and
requirements stake-holders and development.

Sara Mae O’Brien Scott and Tatiana Baquero Cakici, Senior Consultants at Enterprise Knowledge (EK), presented “AI Fast Track to Search-Focused AI Solutions” at the Information Architecture Conference (IAC24) that took place on April 11, 2024 in Seattle, WA. In their presentation, O’Brien-Scott and Cakici focused on what Enterprise AI is, why it is important, and what it takes to empower organizations to get started on a search-based AI journey and stay on track. The presentation explored the complexities of enterprise search challenges and how IA principles can be leveraged to provide AI solutions through the use of a semantic layer. O’Brien-Scott and Cakici showcased a case study where a taxonomy, an ontology, and a knowledge graph were used to structure content at a healthcare workforce solutions organization, providing personalized content recommendations and increasing content findability. In this session, participants gained insights about the following: Most common types of AI categories and use cases; Recommended steps to design and implement taxonomies and ontologies, ensuring they evolve effectively and support the organization’s search objectives; Taxonomy and ontology design considerations and best practices; Real-world AI applications that illustrated the value of taxonomies, ontologies, and knowledge graphs; and Tools, roles, and skills to design and implement AI-powered search solutions.

From their humble beginnings in 1984, TED has grown into the world’s most powerful amplifier for speakers and thought-leaders to share their ideas. They have over 2,400 filmed talks (not including the 30,000+ TEDx videos) freely available online, and have hosted over 17,500 events around the world. With over one billion views in a year, it’s no wonder that so many speakers are looking to TED for ideas on how to share their message more effectively. The article “5 Public-Speaking Tips TED Gives Its Speakers”, by Carmine Gallo for Forbes, gives speakers five practical ways to connect with their audience, and effectively share their ideas on stage. Whether you are gearing up to get on a TED stage yourself, or just want to master the skills that so many of their speakers possess, these tips and quotes from Chris Anderson, the TED Talks Curator, will encourage you to make the most impactful impression on your audience.
