A common failure mode for organizations attempting to adopt an Agile style of software development occurs when an attempt is made to “Scale Agile”. Suddenly, the organization finds that there are scheduling problems between teams. Delivery team members suddenly find that they are required to serve on several teams at once. Dependencies surface, and teams find it difficult to come together in a common cadence to produce working software in a continuously delivered fashion. Many times, these issues become so grave that the organization reverts back to the Waterfall model that they came to hate, but at least understood. This session explores Agile scaling concerns, and places particular emphasis on an architecturally significant distinction in the software to be created, and the components produced to allow the software to be created. That distinction revolves around cross cutting platform concerns versus product feature creation concerns. We will examine the distinctions and explore solutions that should help your organization get past these issues when it comes to portfolio management, by paying attention to extrinsic versus intrinsic value metrics.

Agility at Scale: Platform Versus Product Concerns - Agile Pune 2014

Here, we look at the organizational and managerial issues surrounding refactoring legacy code. Topics that will be discussed include: 1) The definition of legacy code. It’s not just old card reader driver code that hasn’t been updated in a while. 2) The definition of unit testing. Running it has to be quick as an eye blink and repeatable. That’s going to obviate dependencies on our class under test. Especially ones that require databases, user interfaces and so on. 3) What’s the real goal of this, anyway? Looking into the TCO issues and the support of an Agile and Lean Startup mentality to aid the business attain its goals. 4) The need to write appropriate integration tests before we journeying into refactoring. How we, as managers, have to support that undertaking first. 5) Is unit testing merely “a tax” on otherwise available developer cycles to get features done? 6) Why, as managers, we sometimes think that integration tests are enough. 7) Why the metric of code coverage isn’t enough, although we might think that’s the goal. This will be a discussion that gets into the notion of why code coverage is merely a management report that serves as a starting point. 8) When are we done with writing unit tests? If 100% coverage isn’t the goal, what is? 9) The role of more advanced tools, such as Java PIT mutant testing and Microsoft Pex, in finding test suites that truly test quality. How to break the news to your developers, as well! 10) Examples of code that make a developer’s job a nightmare when they are trying to insert true unit tests. 11) How we, as managers, must change from a culture that might tell our people what to do and become one that leads and enables them.

Why Johnny STILL Can't Unit Test His Legacy Code - And What You Can Do About It

Back in 1955, Rudolf Flesch wrote his seminal book “Why Johnny Can’t Read”. The book became a flash point about how American education was depriving children of the joys of knowledge by not properly training them in the correct way to learn to read, by phonics, rather than the "whole word” guessing that was popular at the time. The book was a bellwether about the “crisis in education” at the time. Today’s session will not be about education, reading, or whether phonics are desirable or not. But the session today does address a serious problem that just about everyone in the IT industry faces. We suffer because our legacy code is not unit tested. Actually, lack of unit testing in legacy code (which is really a tautology) is just an easily observed symptom of the real issue, which is lack of quality and lack of knowledge in the code that we depend on, day after day. When the code shows a defect, most organisations expect a quick resolution to the problem and hope for the best. The same tack is taken when the code needs to be extended. This technique, called “code and pray”, rarely ends well. Organizations that try to do the right thing will give their development team the additional responsibility to unit test their code. Everyone knows that unit testing will go a long way in addressing the quality issue. The bet is that the time and effort taken to unit test the code will fix the quality problem. And they’re right. There are many studies that show this result. But there is one fatal flaw in these best intentions. Unit testing legacy code is hard. Really hard. And many times, this one fact torpedoes the entire effort that was supposed to make things better. This is the first part of a two part series on Johnny (the other being “Why Johnny STILL Can’t Unit Test His Legacy Code”). In this session, we will look at the technical issues surrounding refactoring legacy code.

Just about everyone understands that test-driven development (TDD) is one of the best ways to make sure that the code you produce has quality baked in and has a leg up when it comes to maintainability, readability and so on. But, perhaps you’re a little new to the scene, and are a bit shy in saying so and asking for help. No matter. In this workshop, Howard will guide you through a set of increasingly complex coding examples, giving you the knowledge and confidence to use TDD, so your code can start benefitting from the discipline’s practice. We will start with no prior knowledge of TDD, and go on to gain insight into not just how and what to do, but also to understand the whys of the TDD practice. Don’t expect to become an expert in a day, but do expect to be ready to start using your new-found knowledge immediately to start effectively and efficiently keeping bugs from ever showing up on your code’s doorstep, and how to eradicate them from ever appearing again should one find it’s way into your code!

This is the talk I gave January 12, 2017 at the G20/OECD Conference on the Digital Future in Berlin. I talk about fitness landscapes as applied to technology and business, the role of unchecked financialization in the state of our politics and economy, and why technology really wants to create jobs, not destroy them. (There is a separate PDF version, but some readers said the notes were too fuzzy to read.)

What does the future look like? Is it a dark space where we’re suffering from varying degrees of techamphetamine or are we heading towards a Utopian fantasy of abundance and harmony? Understanding that our basic human needs and wants barely change, we explore the future state of a range of topics; from our need for physical sustenance through to our age-long fascination of transcending the limitations of our biology. Looking at the future from a human perspective, our potential for greatness is teetering on a fine line between darkness and hope. We’re banking on the latter.

We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising. This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

Digital circuits, including the ones that we use for modern day computers, rely on digital electronics. That just means that they work because of a particular voltage being present to mean a one and the lack of a voltage to mean a zero. Itâ€™s how we build circuits together to transform an input into an output, with all of the circuits and programs to run on those circuits (in a von Neumann computer) that makes computers useful. But when designing these circuits, one basic design question to answer is â€œshould I use a clock or not (synchronous vs asynchronous)?â€ While synchronous circuits are easier to design, asynchronous circuits have many advantages, such as high performance. Let me mapping this concept onto organization dysfunction. As a coach, I can tell within 5 minutes of meeting a client how well the organization will do when attempting to become more Agile through reductions in Lean Wastes by adopting some Software Craftsmanship and DevOps practices and principles. How can I tell? Easy. I look at their calendaring tools. When I see a personâ€™s email box full of calendar requests and a calendar that resembles a paved driveway, I know immediately that we will have a lot of problems. On the other hand, when the corporate culture embraces true one-on-one collaboration, with few meetings, I know that weâ€™re going to get on together just fine. As an organization if we want to make progress on work to be done, we have a choice to make. We can either be asynchronous by collaborating together and getting stuff done, or we can take the route that has be drummed into everyoneâ€™s head over the last 159 years: we can hold meetings. Unhappily, the more we rely on meetings as the primary way of making progress, the less we get done because of waiting and coordination wastes. This talk will discuss the underlying analogy more in depth, apply it to organizations we are familiar with, and discuss the proper role for meetings in an organization. It will then turn its attention to how DevOps in general and virtualization/containerization in particular allows us to be more asynchronous as an organization, and therefore much quicker and less wasteful.

This talk is an amalgam of observations, opinions, findings, and musings from a Agile Technical Practices Coach working for an organization that struggles as it fights to change from a more traditional 20th century IT organization that services contract promises into a 21st century product organization that excites and delights their segment and channels. Your narrator has had a long term relationship with this compony and has coached them on topics varying from adopting an Agile/Lean mindset, organizational staffing models, product strategy, coding and testing practices, architectural concerns, wedding and bar mitzvah advice, and now into the world of how to achieve Continuous Delivery of quality product. One central theme is that there is that a coach must act holistically, taking into account that both customs, culture, philosophy, and practices all compete in the wicked problem of pivoting the organization into a more modern and “Agilely Fluent” organization. Specific topics will come from the following (and without regard for “terminology correctness”as judged by the Agility Police): * Requirements gathering * Planning * Development environment * Development infrastructure * Coding practices * Testing practices * Developing a learning organization * Production infrastructure and workflow Each topic will illustrate the problems faced by the organization (and the coach’s experience of how their woes fit into patterns of problems that the coach has seen elsewhere), the coach’s vision of what would be a good outcome, steps along the way, and illustrative reactions from the organization to the change. The overarching message is that you must coach the organization at where they are, who they are, and what they do, regardless of your preconceived thoughts of what you’d like them to be and do. In other words, as a coach while you might know that X is a great way to accomplish Y, you must accept that not everyone is ready to do X, is capable of doing X, or even sees that Y is a good thing! If this talk alleviates another coach’s or organization’s pain and anxiety adopting better ways of approaching work, then I will consider it a good use of our time.

In his book “Understanding the Four Rules of Simple Design”, Corey Haines is talking about good design principles and teaching us how to practice them using Code Retreats. Unhappily, many of us have to do with legacy code in our daily lives, and find ourselves frustrated when we try to make legacy code better. JB Rainsberger has started a variation on Corey Haines’ code retreats, making them more practical for legacy code practitioners. I’d like to be able to use this legacy code in Java often. For this master-class, we want to learn the classic Michael Feathers dance of: 1. Identify change points 2. Find an inflection point 3. Cover the inflection point (break external dependencies, break internal dependencies, write tests) 4. Make changes 5. Refactor the covered code. We also would lay out the practicalities of having a legacy code retreat: Who comes? How should they pair? When do the pairs switch?

Improving Your Organization's Technical Prowess With Legacy Code Retreats

Howard Deiner

Sorry to say it guys, but Agile has gone limp over the last few years. As we get more and more coaches into the mix, both external as well as internal, organizations somehow have forgotten that it’s software that we’re trying to produce. Not great stand-ups. Technical practices matter. In fact, if we could dispense with ALL process and still create the valuable quality software that is needed, we should do that. From a Lean perspective, process adds no customer facing value. But getting rid of all process is crazy talk. Even Fred George, who promoted “Programmer Anarchy” several years ago never got away from all process. In reality, his movement was premised on driving business decision making directly into technical decision making, and completely empowering teams to “be” the company. He premised the concept of “Programmer Anarchy” on using the best and brightest developers out there, and trusting that if they could do something as difficult as create great code that they could do the business decision making as well. But perhaps we don’t have the absolute best talent out there. Perhaps it’s hard to lure people away from Google and Facebook because of the money and the chance to get great work environment and unbelievable work challenges (change the world, anyone?) Does that mean that we have to go back into the Fredrick Winslow Taylor world view of “The One Best Way”? With that way becoming making a choice between Scrum, SAFe, Lean/Kanban, and other development processes? I’d like to convince you that what’s going to work for your organization and your employees is something in the middle. I, of course, lean into the “better technical practices will yield better outcomes” frame of mind. You may as well. But when Garrison Keillor said, on “A Prairie Home Companion” (a long running radio show on National Public Radio in the States), “Well, that’s the news from Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average”, that was satire! And the same is true of your organization. It can’t logically be true that all organizations’ developers are all above average. But we can hold people to an acceptable level of technical practices that will yield in writing better code than merely having a process that talks about writing better code. This session will speak to the specifics of the whats and whys.

With the best of intentions, people have flocked to behaviour-driven development by way of Cucumber over the past few years, and that’s a great thing! But just like dieting, where great things can fall to the wayside due to the temptation to indulge in wonderful desserts, BDD can fall to the wayside due to the pressure to deliver more and more functionality, sprint after sprint. Often, Cucumber becomes just a way to automate a bunch of tests, which isn’t bad by itself, even if it doesn’t get to the core of how product owners and the delivery team should start to communicate. But without constant attention, that great garden of creeping Cucumber vines becomes a tangled mess that slowly withers away under massive technical debt. In this session, Howard will guide you through 12 of the most important issues to tackle in your garden of executable requirements. He will discuss and explore topics ranging from the easy to comprehend (such as imperative versus declarative style) to the difficult to deliver (such as how to keep Gherkin-driven Selenium WebDriver tests working dependably through the use of advanced ExpectedCondition techniques). By the end of the session, you should have plenty to indulge in on a healthy diet of BDD!

DevOps is commonly believed to be accomplished by having the development staff collaborate more closely with the operations staff. That’s definitely necessary, but woefully inadequate to achieve the goal of faster and better delivery in “the last mile” of an Agile shop. We need to address the fact that the DevOps concept cannot be accomplished in an Agile environment without a combination of Scrum-style collaboration augmented with a large dollop of architectural enablement, properly addressing environmental concerns, focusing on automated testing, and actually using true automated deployment practices. In this session, Howard will discuss the rationale behind Continuous Delivery, along with specific practices to get you started on making your sprints toward customer satisfaction less tiring and more enjoyable for everyone involved.

Continuous Delivery - The Whys, Whats, and Hows

Howard Deiner

Long before the Agile revolution for software development began, industry had learned that efficient production of goods required intense attention to quality, teamwork, and continuous improvement. These themes of Lean Manufacturing (which was further refined into the Toyota Production System) were never part of the original formulation of the Agile Manifesto, and are rarely mentioned as part of the traditional Agile/Scrum recipe for teams transforming to the new “Agile” mindset. The reality is that the traditional Agile/Scrum recipe is actually a “dumbed down” version of the Toyota Production System, and makes it easier for organisations to grasp and start from. However, if organisations really want to achieve the goal of producing the software they need in a fashion that leads to High Performance Teams and Sustainable Engineering, they will need to understand the principles of Lean so they can incorporate them into their unique process. This session teaches the basics of Lean, and demonstrates how they apply to Agile development.

Many organizations struggle with transforming from the old style teams consisting of members with specialized silos of skills into Agile teams consisting of generalized specialists. This results in sub-optimal Agile adoptions in Agile/Scrum environments, which is where most organizations transforming to Agile are advised to start. We will start with a look into the real role of QA in the organization, and where they truly add value in the production of quality code to allow the business to move forward. Piggybacking on the role of QA, we will then speak to exactly what QA needs to do to add value to the software development process, and how they integrate in the DevOps model that is a contemporary solution to an age old issue. And, finally, we will speak to some uncomfortable truths, and draw conclusions into the skills that Agile Testers must be expected to master to allow the organization to pivot successfully into a truly Agile development group.

The presentation explores the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) from its inception to its current status in the modern world. The term "artificial intelligence" was first coined by John McCarthy in 1956 to describe efforts to develop computer programs capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. This concept was first introduced at a conference held at Dartmouth College, where programs demonstrated capabilities such as playing chess, proving theorems, and interpreting texts. In the early stages, Alan Turing contributed to the field by defining intelligence as the ability of a being to respond to certain questions intelligently, proposing what is now known as the Turing Test to evaluate the presence of intelligent behavior in machines. As the decades progressed, AI evolved significantly. The 1980s focused on machine learning, teaching computers to learn from data, leading to the development of models that could improve their performance based on their experiences. The 1990s and 2000s saw further advances in algorithms and computational power, which allowed for more sophisticated data analysis techniques, including data mining. By the 2010s, the proliferation of big data and the refinement of deep learning techniques enabled AI to become mainstream. Notable milestones included the success of Google's AlphaGo and advancements in autonomous vehicles by companies like Tesla and Waymo. A major theme of the presentation is the application of generative AI, which has been used for tasks such as natural language text generation, translation, and question answering. Generative AI uses large datasets to train models that can then produce new, coherent pieces of text or other media. The presentation also discusses the ethical implications and the need for regulation in AI, highlighting issues such as privacy, bias, and the potential for misuse. These concerns have prompted calls for comprehensive regulations to ensure the safe and equitable use of AI technologies. Artificial intelligence has also played a significant role in healthcare, particularly highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, where it was used in drug discovery, vaccine development, and analyzing the spread of the virus. The capabilities of AI in healthcare are vast, ranging from medical diagnostics to personalized medicine, demonstrating the technology's potential to revolutionize fields beyond just technical or consumer applications. In conclusion, AI continues to be a rapidly evolving field with significant implications for various aspects of society. The development from theoretical concepts to real-world applications illustrates both the potential benefits and the challenges that come with integrating advanced technologies into everyday life. The ongoing discussion about AI ethics and regulation underscores the importance of managing these technologies responsibly to maximize their their benefits while minimizing potential harms.
