A picture is worth a thousand words – actually, the brain processes images 60,000 times faster than it can read, so it’s worth turning your data into pictures. When you’re trying to make a point, impress leadership or win the hearts and minds of process participants, graphs and charts are the way to go. In this 1-hour intermediate webinar we’ll give you some step-by-step training on how to take a column of data and bring it to life on the big screen. https://goleansixsigma.com/webinar-5-ways-create-charts-graphs-highlight-work/

So, you’re agile. You’ve got a healthy backlog, you understand your team’s velocity, and you’re holding retrospectives. You’re in a good place – right? Maybe not. You may have a handle on the quality of your stories & their output, but what about that of your team and those around you? Or your agile processes themselves? Retrospectives are a great way to get feedback, but they are often both undervalued and underutilized as a tool for improvement. Agile gets you fast, but retrospectives get you faster. We’ll walk you through what good and bad retrospectives look like, how to tell when they’re failing, and (more importantly) how to uncover what's lurking behind bias, ego, and protocol. If you’re in doubt if this session is for you, suggest a team under pressure skips the retrospective this week, and see just how quickly they drop the most important part of the agile cycle!

The sprint

Amit Ranjan

You're running and running and running but the scenery never changes. You never actually get to your destination. So, you run faster and faster thinking that if you just try harder then you'll get there. Do you feel like you're living your life in a hamster wheel? You're not alone. Many teams face conditions that keep them feeling exactly the same way. This presentation walks through the challenges from my 1st development manager role, but is presented as a holistic story by including the challenges and changes of the business we were embedded with. Specifically, unsustainable amounts of work, a constant barrage of emergencies, feeling forced into the percentage game, and high levels of specialization.

Is the sprint-to-sprint grind of having to complete endless stream of user stories wearing you down? Are you so mired in the minutia of stories that you can’t even remember what it is you’re building anymore? Has your backlog turned into a glorified “to do” list filled with countless developer tasks? It’s time to stop the madness! Join Anne Steiner, Vice President of Product Agility at cPrime, for the last installment of our 3-part webinar series on creating and managing effective and meaningful product backlogs. In this session, we’ll provide practical tips and guidance on managing sprint-to-sprint backlog definition, blending product discovery with product delivery, and recreating your product backlog as a vehicle for telling winning product stories versus a container for crud.

For the last 20+ years we’ve all been diligently working to agile our way to product success. Indeed, developing iteratively and applying agile methodologies has helped our industry make huge strides. At times, however, It has also led us to focus on the wrong things… In this webinar we’ll discuss how inherent gaps in common agile methodologies have led to poor product strategy, flawed definition, and ultimately, subpar execution. We will highlight these gaps, hear real life stories of their impacts on organizations, and learn how to avoid falling into these traps when developing our products.

Have you switched out your project managers for product managers and started “doing agile”, but you’re not feeling like you're winning yet? Would you like to develop more product management practices at your organisation? In this session, Ross Stanley (curr: Xero, prev: Vend) will describe the changes he’s seen in the industry as product management and associated practises have matured, identifying along the way the things that often go hand in hand with making great software products. Spoiler: there’s probably more to it than just hiring product managers.

Presented at Agile Testing Days US 2018 https://agiletestingdays.us/session/refactoring-test-collaboration/ Collective ownership for testing starts with understanding testing. Rework your team dynamics to evolve past duplication and improve performance through whole team testing. Take home practical patterns for improving your team's collaboration on testing. Because teams who own testing have more confidence in the customer value of their results. As the Pragmatic Programmers say, "refactoring is an activity that needs to be undertaken slowly, deliberately, and carefully," so how do we begin? In this session, we will experience the complex interactions of an agile team focused on demonstrating customer value by answering a series a questions: Where do testers get their ideas? How are you planning to accomplish this proposed testing, tester? Why not automate all the things? Who is going to do this manual testing and how does it work? How do we know whether we're testing the right things? Build your own list of TODOs from these various practical collaboration approaches and begin deduping your team's testing for a better first day back at the office.

This talk was given at Eurostar 2013 in Gothenburg, Sweden. “Significant forces in the IT industry that mean testing in most organisations is under extreme pressure. Bosses wonder why they need people ‘over here’ to make sure people ‘over there’ do their job properly. Users, analysts, developers and testers may have to redistribute responsibility for testing and checking and by collaborating more effectively. Testers won’t drive this transition, and they may be caught out if they ignore the winds of change. There's complacency, self-delusion and over capacity in the testing business; there is too little agreement about what testing is, what it’s for or how it should be done. In this talk, Paul will suggest what leadership is required in our industry, the market and our organisations. Of course, some responsibility will fall on your shoulders. Whether you are a manager or technical specialist, there will be an opportunity for you to lead the change.”

Many resources describe how to accelerate performance of your development organization through adoption of agile methodologies, but very few cover testing in a practical manner. And those that do generally focus on technical details, leaving out how to build an agile testing culture while facing numerous adoption challenges. Leigh Ishikawa describes how an organization needs to rethink testing in the agile world. He begins by taking a holistic look at how different groups combine in an agile testing culture. Then Leigh dives into key components including messaging, concepts, metrics, and tools that can be implemented across different groups; how they are integral to one another; how various data from metrics across different teams should be interpreted; and what actions should be taken. Through real world examples from various companies, Leigh takes you through lessons he learned—from both success and failure.

You're under tight time pressure and have barely enough information to proceed with testing. How do you test quickly and inexpensively, yet still produce informative, credible, and accountable results? Rapid Software Testing, adopted by context-driven testers worldwide, offers a field-proven answer to this all-too-common dilemma. In this one-day sampler of the approach, Michael Bolton introduces you to the skills and practice of Rapid Software Testing through stories, discussions, and "minds-on" exercises that simulate important aspects of real testing problems. The rapid approach isn't just testing with speed or a sense of urgency; it's mission-focused testing that eliminates unnecessary work, assures that the most important things get done, and constantly asks how testers can help speed up the successful completion of the project. Join Michael to learn how Rapid Testing focuses on both the mind set and skill set of the individual tester, using tight loops of exploration and critical thinking skills to help continuously re-optimize testing to match clients' needs and expectations.

Perhaps in no other professional field is the dichotomy between theory and practice more starkly different than in the realm of software testing. Researchers and thought leaders claim that testing requires a high level of cognitive and interpersonal skills, in order to make judgments about the ability of software to fulfill its operational goals. In their minds, testing is about assessing and communicating the risks involved in deploying software in a specific state. However, in many organizations, testing remains a necessary evil, and a cost to drive down as much as possible. Testing is merely a measure of conformance to requirements, without regard to the quality of requirements or how conformance is measured. This is certainly an important measure, but tells an incomplete story about the value of software in support of our business goals. We as testers often help to perpetuate the status quo. Although in many cases we realize we can add far more value than we do, we continue to perform testing in a manner that reduces our value in the software development process. This presentation looks at the state of the art as well of the state of common practice, and attempts to provide a rationale and roadmap whereby the practice of testing can be made more exciting and stimulating to the testing professional, as well as more valuable to the product and the organization.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/why-teams-call-analytics-is-critical-to-your-entire-business Nothing is as frustrating and noticeable as being in an important call and being unable to see or hear the other person. Not surprising then, that issues with Teams calls are among the most common problems users call their helpdesk for. Having in depth insight into everything relevant going on at the user’s device, local network, ISP and Microsoft itself during the call is crucial for good Microsoft Teams Call quality support. To ensure a quick and adequate solution and to ensure your users get the most out of their Microsoft 365. But did you know that ‘bad calls’ are also an excellent indicator of other problems arising? Precisely because it is so noticeable!? Like the canary in the mine, bad calls can be early indicators of problems. Problems that might otherwise not have been noticed for a while but can have a big impact on productivity and satisfaction. Join this session by Christoph Adler to learn how true Microsoft Teams call quality analytics helped other organizations troubleshoot bad calls and identify and fix problems that impacted Teams calls or the use of Microsoft365 in general. See what it can do to keep your users happy and productive! In this session we will cover - Why CQD data alone is not enough to troubleshoot call problems - The importance of attributing call problems to the right call participant - What call quality analytics can do to help you quickly find, fix-, and prevent problems - Why having retrospective detailed insights matters - Real life examples of how others have used Microsoft Teams call quality monitoring to problem shoot problems with their ISP, network, device health and more.

Tracing the root cause of a performance issue requires a lot of patience, experience, and focus. It’s so hard that we sometimes attempt to guess by trying out tentative fixes, but that usually results in frustration, messy code, and a considerable waste of time and money. This talk explains how to correctly zoom in on a performance bottleneck using three levels of profiling: distributed tracing, metrics, and method profiling. After we learn to read the JVM profiler output as a flame graph, we explore a series of bottlenecks typical for backend systems, like connection/thread pool starvation, invisible aspects, blocking code, hot CPU methods, lock contention, and Virtual Thread pinning, and we learn to trace them even if they occur in library code you are not familiar with. Attend this talk and prepare for the performance issues that will eventually hit any successful system. About authorWith two decades of experience, Victor is a Java Champion working as a trainer for top companies in Europe. Five thousands developers in 120 companies attended his workshops, so he gets to debate every week the challenges that various projects struggle with.

Take Quarkus, a framework that’s considered the rising star for Kubernetes-native Java. It always depends on what's best for your situation, but how to choose the best solution if you're comparing 2 frameworks? Both Spring Boot and Quarkus have their positives and negatives. Let us compare the two by live coding a couple of common use cases in Spring Boot and Quarkus. After this talk, you’ll be ready to get started with Quarkus yourself, and know when to select Quarkus or Spring Boot.

In the thrilling conclusion to 2023, ransomware groups had a banner year, really outdoing themselves in the "make everyone's life miserable" department. LockBit 3.0 took gold in the hacking olympics, followed by the plucky upstarts Clop and ALPHV/BlackCat. Apparently, 48% of organizations were feeling left out and decided to get in on the cyber attack action. Business services won the "most likely to get digitally mugged" award, with education and retail nipping at their heels. Hackers expanded their repertoire beyond boring old encryption to the much more exciting world of extortion. The US, UK and Canada took top honors in the "countries most likely to pay up" category. Bitcoins were the currency of choice for discerning hackers, because who doesn't love untraceable money?
