New feature development in agile should almost always start with a spike. Spikes help to define feature scope, uncover technical unknowns, and provide accurate estimates. In this session we will cover how to introduce spikes into your development cycles and show how Atlassian defines spike goals, focuses spike efforts, and makes feature development more effective.

Large enterprises facing disruption struggle to transform quickly enough—from becoming more innovative to improving processes, culture, and ways of working. Transformation programs are often linear, multi-year engagements not focused on continuous learning and improvement. In this workshop, Sonja Kresojevic will share lessons learned from an award-winning Lean Enterprise transformation program at Pearson that will enable you to kick off and significantly accelerate your own organization's Lean Enterprise journey. She will uncover how proven approaches embodied in Lean Startup, Agile, and Adaptive Portfolio Management can be combined into a single cohesive framework that can serve as catalyst for powerful shifts in your organization.You will leave the workshop with an example of transformation roadmap ready to stimulate wide-ranging conversations and drive focused action, as soon as you return to your office.

We are doing Agile well..We have been Agile now.. Is it just an assumption or do we have data to support it? Do metrics add any value or they are just a fad? Good metrics affirm & reinforce Agile principles. They open up the conversation and help the teams to improve. They are not only for management, it is for everyone who wants to inspect and adapt. So this presentation is about how metrics can be used effectively in Agile to enable transparency and improve the overall efficiency at the team/ program and portfolio level.

Agile Operations refers to the application of agile concepts and techniques for the organizations growth and operations. Agile Methodology mainly focuses on iterative development across the lifecycle of the project and on collaboration and communication between developers and end-users. The goal is to be flexible and adaptable to change. At present, the company wants to implement Agile Methodologies to a project in order to optimize the processes within multiple departments leading to higher quality iteration and customer satisfaction. This presentation provides some information on Agile Operations such as agile project overview with estimated cost, prioritizing agile software development tasks, checklist for effective agile implementation, agile software development stages with estimated time, automation processes in agile operations, most commonly used agile methods worldwide, agile project planning table, agile project task status table, agile operations project cost estimation table, outcomes of implementing agile strategies, team performance measurement after agile implementation, agile software development dashboard with sprint progress etc. After analyzing and studying the Agile Methodologies to implement, the company will lay out the costs involved in application of the selected method with related pros and cons. The goal will be to reduce the time involved in process completion by optimizing the tasks. https://bit.ly/3aYua0P

Presentation by Em Campbell-Pretty & Adrienne Wilson at the Global SAFe Summit 2021 Mob Programming thought leader, Woody Zuill, suggests that instead of always focusing on solving problems, we also take the time to notice the things that are going well and amplify them, thereby "turning up the good". When it comes to SAFe Dean Leffingwell perhaps said it best: "There is no magic in SAFe . . . except maybe for PI Planning." I suspect most of you agree that PI Planning is the magic in SAFe. There is nothing quite like the energy created by bringing a group of 100+ people together to build a collaborative plan over a couple of days every 10 to 12 weeks. So what would it mean to "turn up the good in PI Planning"? If we focused on what is good and what we want more of, would we get more magic?! For Em and Adrienne, the answer is a resounding "Yes!" In this session, they will take the "The Facilitator’s Guide to PI Planning" and illustrate how turning up the good can bring your PI Planning magic to the next level.

Leading a large-scale agile transformation isn’t about adopting a new set of attitudes, processes, and behaviors at the team level… it’s about helping your company deliver faster to market, and developing the ability to respond to a rapidly-changing competitive landscape. First and foremost, it’s about achieving business agility. Business agility comes from people having clarity of purpose, a willingness to be held accountable, and the ability to achieve measurable outcomes. Unfortunately, almost everything in modern organizations gets in the way of teams acting with any sort of autonomy. In most companies, achieving business agility requires significant organizational change. Agile transformation necessitates a fundamental rethinking of how your company organizes for delivery, how it delivers value to its customers, and how it plans and measures outcomes. Agile transformation is about building enabling structures, aligning the flow of work, and measuring for outcomes based progress. It's about breaking dependencies. The reality is that this kind of change can only be led from the top. This talk will explore how executives can define an idealized end-state for the transformation, build a fiscally responsible iterative and incremental plan to realize that end-state, as well as techniques for tracking progress and managing change.

How can a team of 65 developers build and rapidly ship a high-quality product with only six QA engineers? At Atlassian, we’ve introduced the Quality Assistance model that changes the developer QA mindset, and engages developers in exploratory testing so software is developed right the first time. After all, the cheapest time to fix a bug is before it's written. Join us as we walk through the theory, history, and practice of the model, while busting some of the myths about developers and QA. Reject the tradeoff of time, scope, and quality, and finally have your cake and eat it too.

Every software team has heard the phrase “going agile" and many consider themselves agile, but what does it mean to be truly agile? Implementing agile in a team takes commitment and is anything but “nimble and quick”. In fact, sometimes you need to become good at Incremental and Iterative Development (IID) before you can be Agile. In this talk, you will learn whether IID or Agile is right for your team, how to deploy and maintain a selected process, and how to make JIRA work for your development process.

Engineering Principles in Practice

Operating a massively scalable, constantly changing, distributed global service is a daunting task. We innovate at breakneck speed to attract new customers and stay ahead of the competition. Simultaneously improving service quality and enabling rapid, continuous change seems impossible on the surface. At Netflix, Operations Engineering is a centralized organization whose charter is to accomplish just that by applying high-leverage software engineering practices like continuous delivery. real-time analytics, and automation to solve operational problems. It's well established that many traditional IT Operations teams struggle to bridge the gap with software engineering. Operations Engineering is no exception. And while DevOps as a construct seeks to address this gap, it doesn't go far enough. It does not explain how to bridge the gap or even why it's important to do so. In this talk we’ll use Netflix Operations Engineering as a case study to address these questions. We'll explore common challenges faced by operational teams and strategies to overcome them.

Sans doute vous identifiez vous dans une ou plusieurs des situations suivantes: - plusieurs équipes Scrum travaillent dans votre entreprise, parfois sur un même projet ou des projets connexes - la coordination entre équipes Scrum n'est pas optimale - vous-même, ou certains stakeholders, ont besoin d'une vue plus long terme sur vos projets Agile, plus que "juste le prochain sprint" - sur base du succès de Scrum dans votre entreprise, vous voulez allez plus loin et vous voulez rendre plus agile l'entièreté de votre entreprise Si c'est le cas, venez découvrir le framework SAFe. Après une présentation du framework et de ses fondements, vous serez en mesure de mieux le comprendre, et de voir ce qu'il peut apporter ou non à votre entreprise.

SharePoint gives us a great platform for developing sophisticated intranet portals and collaboration sites and many other workloads. But it can also be a challenge to use modern software development frameworks like Scrum and XP. Wouldn’t it be great if we could get all the benefits of Agile practices – faster development, predictable deliveries, better quality, less stress and happy stakeholders? In this session we will cover the definitions of Lean, Agile, Scrum, Kanban, XP, and TDD. Then we will look at the specific challenges around Agile SharePoint development and some development techniques to overcome these obstacles. This talk covers both project delivery and engineering. We’ll look at unit tests, integration tests, UI tests, continuous integration and, of course, test-driven development (TDD) with practical experiences from real-life Agile SharePoint projects.

Kanban was originally created as a scheduling system to help manufacturing organizations determine what to produce, when to produce it, and how much to produce. Although this may not sound like software development, these lean principles can be successfully applied to development teams to improve the delivery of value through better visibility and limits on work in process. This webinar will provide an overview of the Kanban method, including the history and motivation, the core principles and practices, and how these apply to efficiency and process improvement in software development. We’ll also describe how Team Foundation Server can be used as a foundation for your work visualization and work flow management. Come join us for this free Webinar!

In every successful technology businesses Jeff has worked in, the key challenge has been understanding how to scale technology and when to tackle the technical debt that inevitably accrues as a company runs ever faster and faster in pursuit of its business objectives. Jeff draws on his experience to help you understand what challenges emerge as a company moves from a Developer Centric environment to become more business focused. How can you get the business people to have influence on a developer centric environment? How can you manage the challenges that marketing will present?! What principles can you apply to be aware of problems early? How do you trade Agile Practioners vs Architectural Astronauts in a fast growing business? What are the technical debt trade-offs, what problems can you buy yourself out of? What problems will kill you if you don’t move now?

You’d never knowingly ship something to your customers that didn’t deliver value, would you? Would you still stand your ground if you were under pressure to get a team of developers working on something? You probably know that one of Atlassian’s most well-known values is “Don’t f*** the customer”, so learn what happened when a lean product team decided to tear up the roadmap because they were brave enough to admit they didn’t understand their customers well enough. Join Janel Blattler, as she shares how her team used research to unveil a new plan in just a few weeks. You’ll be able to practice some techniques and walk away with a bucket load of inspiration. Come along if you’d like to run research, but worry that you don’t have enough time or lack the skills to do so – you don’t need to be a researcher on your team.

When it comes to designing apps and new features, we just can't get enough of metrics. In an age where we can collect data from almost anything, how can we cut through the noise and focus on the right metrics to measure the success and failures of the apps that we’re building? Join Atlassian Product Manager Josephine Lee as she delves through what exactly makes a good metric. Throughout the talk, we’ll walk through real Atlassian examples of good and bad metrics. By exploring a framework for measurement, we’ll cover detailed features that showcase how best to measure and choose the right set of success, supportive, and counter metrics. You'll walk away with tips and learnings from Atlassian’s approach to measuring success, and learn how to use data and metrics to inspire action in your apps.

Color-blind people are using your apps. 1 in 12 men is color blind. And for women, this is 1 in 200. Building apps that work well for color blind people is not difficult. Some simple techniques help us with the design of our interface. And some tools help us see what color blind people see. In this talk, Maarten Arts of Avisi will look at common varieties of color blindness. We will look at apps through the eyes of a color-blind person. And we will discover what color-blind people struggle with. Regardless of whether you're a designer or developer, this talk will equip you with the skills and the tools you need to make sure that your app works for color-blind people.

The words we choose have the power to include or alienate our users. The reality is that for many, English is spoken as a second language. And unless you're going to localize your product for those major non-English speaking markets, you'll need to thoughtfully create content that is accessible to a larger audience. But how do we create products that maintain a sense of personality without isolating a wide audience of non-native speakers? Join Atlassian Content Designer, Roana Bilia, as she walks you through why thoughtful, inclusive content, is key to creating well-designed user experiences. You'll walk away with foundational principles for good UX copy when optimizing your product UI, a few quick wins that you as creators and developers can incorporate into your next products, as well as a set of mistakes to avoid that companies—including Atlassian—have made, which prioritized native speakers but isolated non-native speakers.

In under five months, he joins a freshly assembled, self-managed team in building a new Atlassian Marketplace app. Dash will give a quick intro to what it means for a team to be self-managed. Then, he'll share his observations and experiences on the team, as well as the best-practices, patterns, and processes K15t has discovered along the way. Whether you are a new team with a kick-ass product idea or a big company figuring out ways to scale, this talk will provide you with practical tips and ideas your team can try out!

The Road(map) to Las Vegas - The Story of an Emerging Self-Managed Team

Atlassian

Designing for the enterprise comes with a unique set of challenges; ensuring readability and accessibility at scale, meeting the needs of multi-layered organizations, and building a trust when your software - used by dozens of thousands of employees - is considered mission-critical. At Atlassian, we've spent countless hours digging deep into our enterprise customer's needs and we've gathered a vast repository of insights. In this talk, Pawel Wodkowski, a senior designer on Jira Server, will share all that we've learned from our research (while not being shy about busting some of those wild admin myths!). You'll get a crash course in what it means to design for scale the Atlassian way.

Are you depressed? We perform this come-to-me love spell that works instantly with the aim of Winnipeg back the victim to the person performing the magic. Have you lost your lover? We perform this come-to-me love spell that works instantly with the aim of bringing back the victim to the person performing the magic. Have you lost your lover? Do u need to solve any relationship problem? Contact the powerful spells caster chief kule with love spells that work overnight and love spells that really work. Have you found yourself infatuated with a special someone you think could be the one? Are you looking for a spell to provide them with a nudge in the right direction? Or maybe the spell you cast didn’t achieve the results you were hoping for? Whether you’re new or versed in the ways of spell casting, we’re here to help. Today we’re going to provide you with a detailed guide on the types of love spells to cast. Not only that but there’s something for those who wish to find outside advice from more advanced spell casters. We’re also going to provide you with the top sites available to help you with your dilemma. Let’s begin our journey by educating ourselves on love magic and what a real love caster looks like. Love Magic and Love Casters Love magic made its first appearance back in Ancient Egypt and has been an active practice since. This type of magic is a branch of traditional magic and can be practiced in various ways. Typically the more common use of love magic is through the work of spells, but other methods look like Charms Rituals-LOVE Potions-Dolls and even Amulets If you are interested in becoming a love caster, be prepared for what’s to come. A genuine love caster knows that the art of love casting is no easy feat and shouldn’t be done casually. You should know that not only does it require you to be gifted spiritually, but you must be ready to serve others. Someone who is considered a real love caster has experience in all manner of spells, no matter the difficulty. Training yourself in attraction, commitment, and marriage spells is an excellent place to start. But this by no means will make you a professional. Practice your craft and expand your knowledge; understand that you will possess the ability to help others in time truly. Types of Love Spells What better way to start broadening your experiences with love spells than by learning more about them? These spells work like just about any other spell. Simply apply your intention, use a medium (sigils, mantras, candles, or charm bags), and top it off with establishing the belief that you will receive what you want. So what kind of spells are available and which ones suit your needs the best? Let’s take a look at the many options you have at your disposal. Attraction Spells
