Boosting your SW development with DevopsTimo Stordell
This document discusses how DevOps practices can improve software development. It begins by providing background on the author and their company Eficode. It then contrasts classic/waterfall software development approaches with more modern agile approaches enabled by DevOps. Classic approaches are prone to "Epic Fail" through lack of prioritization, coordination, and automation. Modern approaches emphasize prioritizing requirements, completing features incrementally, defining minimum viable products, sharing information efficiently, continuous optimization, embracing automation and tools, building cross-functional teams, and applying DevOps practices across the entire organization and product development lifecycle.
#Noprojects - Why is #noprojects trending in agile worldSubrahmaniam S.R.V
This document discusses why the #NoProjects movement is trending in agile organizations. It notes that projects are typically temporary endeavors with defined start and end dates, but questions whether this model fits well for long-lived software applications that continuously evolve. The document outlines some indications that projects may be a misfit, such as frequent scope changes and the need for continuous delivery. It advocates shifting to a product-focused, team-focused way of working where teams remain stable and are assessed on outcomes rather than budgets or utilization. The document recommends a focus on value, technical debt reduction, and providing an environment for innovation and collaboration on knowledge-intensive software products.
The document discusses an external evaluation of the Language Interpreter Training as a Stepping Stone to Work (LITSSW) project conducted by The Gilfillan Partnership. The Gilfillan Partnership is a UK-based social enterprise focused on promoting equalities and social inclusion. They provide independent, objective evaluations of projects to assess progress, achievements, impacts, lessons learned, and sustainability. Their interim evaluation found the LITSSW project was working well, successfully transferring an exceptional community language interpreter training and employment model from one partner to others, and on track to achieve its intended results and early impacts. A final evaluation was planned for the end of October 2014.

How to Create the Sound Platform by Sonos' Global Product LeadProduct School
This document outlines Sonos' strategy to become the dominant sound platform for the home. It discusses Sonos' goal to fill every home with music by making all of its products work seamlessly together. The document also recommends that Sonos unleash developers on its platform, engage in defining the ultimate voice experience, build strategic partnerships, architect the right APIs, use data to drive product creation, and prioritize customer experience.
In Scrum, Product Owner is an important role. The PO is accountable for Product Success. However, more often than not we see that only 20% of all the features of a Product are widely used. Why does this happen? IMHO, this happens because POs are often distracted due to various reasons. This leads to certain anti-patterns in the PO role, which I tried to explore.

This document outlines an implementation methodology for large Odoo projects with the goals of delivering expected benefits on time and within budget by keeping projects simple. It recommends conducting a business needs analysis, building a full-featured prototype, importing data and specific development, validation and training, deployment, and second deployment. Key aspects include prioritizing the customer's business needs over custom specifications, avoiding unnecessary custom development, and having experienced project managers make configuration decisions. It provides guidance on setting customer expectations, the sales process, and negotiation approach.
This document provides guidance on developing an implementation plan for strategies. It outlines common mistakes like using pre-planned channels without considering strategy needs or trying to implement strategies without connecting them to timelines. The steps presented are to 1) decide target audiences, 2) define channels per audience, 3) define key messages, and 4) cross check channels and messages against timelines. The output is an implementation plan that connects strategies to target audiences, channels, messages, and exchange projects while considering responsibilities and timelines to effectively implement strategies.
From dysfunction to cross function in 8,593 easy steps- team building at the cbcSam Lightowler
When it comes to scaling Agile, there is no one size fits all solution. Frameworks like Scrum and XP prescribe roles, events, artifacts, and rules that make it very clear how interaction should take place within a team. When we begin to add more teams to the mix, communication between teams becomes more complex. This complexity threatens to reduce our transparency and damage our culture. How can we share information, build our culture and work together, all while keeping with Agile values?
During this session Sam Lightowler and Jade Stephen will take an in depth look at the successes and failures of CBC Digital Operations when it comes to cross-team collaboration and information sharing. We will discuss what meetings and techniques have helped us build a one-team-one-product mindset, a sense of community, and a culture of Collaboration, Learning and Improvement. We will also discuss what we have tried in the past and how learning from those experiments helped us evolve into the agile-friendly and unified team that we are today.
Perfect Wedding: Lean Startup and AgileHugo Messer
This document discusses why agile implementations often fail in financial institutions in Indonesia. It notes that banks and traditional financial institutions have strict key performance indicators (KPIs) based on regulatory compliance and margins, unlike startups whose KPIs are based on innovation. Banks must follow annual business plans that are mandatory and required by regulators, while startups have fewer regulatory requirements. Banks also cause systemic risk if they fail, unlike startups whose failure only means not paying bills. The document suggests that while adaptation is needed, banks cannot just change their behavior due to regulations and shareholder expectations. It proposes ways for banks to incorporate agile values and principles while still working within existing structures and processes familiar to management.

This week's strategy focuses on coding fundamentals by solving programming problems on sites like Leetcode and Interviewbit. The document recommends spending the next 4-5 weeks practicing as many programming problems as possible to improve programming skills. It also discusses using time more efficiently, such as saving 50% of daily time spent on email which could lead to 15% greater annual achievements if that extra 1-2 hours per day is spent on other productive activities.

Practical approach to creative testing and creative optimisation at Google UA...GameCamp
This document provides best practices for optimizing mobile game creatives on Google Ads. It discusses identifying the best performing placements like AdMob, display, YouTube, and search. It also discusses targeting the audience by focusing creatives on core gameplay or genre. Creative testing should be done in separate ad groups to see performance in different networks before moving top performers to evergreen ad groups. Frequency of creative uploads and removing low performers after 7-14 days is recommended. Insights from universal app campaigns can also be applied to optimize across different networks.

8 Types of mobile game and app creatives you should tryGameCamp
Over that past three years, we have worked with around 80 apps and tested approximately 8,000 different videos. From this, we’ve been able to recognize and define the characteristics of certain types of concepts that frequently perform well. We have also seen these concepts work for specific app categories.
In this presentation, we would like to share our typology and discuss the game categories where we’ve seen these specific concepts perform particularly well. We hope this may help in building or improving the testing plan for your game and, as a consequence, achieve better results in UA.

7. Our takeaway
● Don't test changes that are
too small
● Test significant changes
● Goal can be Total Revenue
● Higher retention doesn't
mean higher revenue
