create Calagator::Event 1250465582 Rose City SPIN Talk: Scaling Agile Adoption into the Enterprise Roll back

description nil **Scaling Agile Adoption into the Enterprise: A Transition Community Based Approach** Presented by **Aashish Vaidya, Cambia Health Solutions** <strong>Dates/Times:</strong> Thursday, Feb. 20th, 2014: Networking @ 5:30-6:30 PM; Seminar 6:30-7:30 PM <strong>Location:</strong> OTBC (Oregon Technology Business Center), 8305 SW Creekside Place, Suite C, Beaverton, Oregon, 97008, 2nd floor <h3>Abstract:</h3> Since July of 2011, Cambia Health Solutions, a not-for-profit health solutions company has been transitioning to enterprise wide agile practices. Cambia develops its own software solutions as well as integrates software from other vendors. It has a distributed workforce that spans four states with many work-at-home employees. Cambia’s health insurance business is regulated by various state and national entities. Many of Cambia’s deliverables are large, mandated compliance projects that have a fixed time box and a set scope, driven by external entities. Missing either the deadline or scope could potentially mean losing a significant portion of its business or facing monetary penalties. This brings unique challenges for effective agile adoption, where set templates, cookbooks and recipes may or may not be effective. In order to transition from a patchwork of agile practices to large-scale agile, Cambia organized an Enterprise Transition Community and other communities. Initially, majority of the transition efforts were focused on rolling out agile to delivery teams and corresponding business areas. The experiences from this phase were shared during PNSQC 2012 presentation. Since, then the transition and transformation efforts continue to extend further at all levels: team, project and portfolio. This presentation will draw on the experiences shared in the 2012 PNSQC paper as well as augment additional lessons learned during the subsequent year. It will provide insights to company of any size that is looking to make or is in process of making a similar transition. Agilists of all stripes can also benefit from practical in-the-trenches information to bring back to their own organizations. <h3>Bio:</h3> Aashish Vaidya is an IT Staff Consultant at Cambia Health Solutions. He is a founding member of Cambia’s Enterprise Transition Community, and other Best Practices Exchanges. Currently he works on large portfolio projects leading agile and quality practices. He also serves as an internal coach on Agile and Quality practices. Aashish has been involved in agile practices in the earnest since 2007, and is a Certified Scrum Professional. He has over 20+ years of experience working at technology companies such as Compaq, Intel, and Kronos Incorporation. He has held various technical, leadership and management positions. Aashish has been a presenter/panelist at AgilePDX, PNSQC conference and Technology Association of Oregon. A recent article he co-authored appeared on AgileAtlas.org. He also muses on agile and management topics on his occasional blog agilesutra.wordpress.com. A graduate of Texas A&M University, Aashish holds Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering. He can also be found on twitter: @aashishvaidya and on Linkedin. <h3>A Special Treat from PNSQC</h3> Plan on coming early! In collaboration with the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference (PNSQC) the SPIN meeting will have pizza and pop provided by PNSQC beginning at 5:30 pm. PNSQC is the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference, a group of volunteers interested in Software Quality. The Mission of the PNSQC is to enable knowledge exchange to produce higher quality software. As a non-profit, it seeks to promote software quality by providing education and opportunities for information exchange within the software community. <h3>Thanks also to OTBC</h3> We want to thank OTBC (http://www.otbc.org/) for providing the space for this talk <h3>How to Register</h3> This is a FREE lecture sponsored by the Rose City SPIN. But you can help us plan food and drinks by registering at: http://rosecityspinfebtalk.eventbrite.com <h3>Rose City SPIN</h3> The Rose City Software Process Improvement Network (SPIN) is a monthly forum for networking, mutual support, and promotion of effective software practices.

description nil ###**Roadmapping: Best Practices for Determining "What's Next"** ###**PDMA Learning and Networking Event** ###**Thursday, February 20, 2014** ###**6:00 - 8:00 PM** Your Oregon Chapter of the Product Development and Management Association (PDMA) - the folks who bring you ProductCamp Portland – Pints with PDX Product Manager, and Pragmatic Marketing invite you to a February Learning and Networking Event featuring a special moderated panel focused on the challenges of product roadmapping. Good Product Managers are the CEOs of their product. They have a Vision, and communicate it effectively, for how their product will grow, evolve, and successfully meet its key objectives. The product roadmap is one of the product manager's key instruments for laying out this vision in more concrete terms, but it's inherently full of challenges. This session will tap into panelists experience to uncover best practices for road mapping including critical factors for feature prioritization, political considerations, and how best to communicate them internally and externally. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from three top local product executives on this compelling and challenging area of product management. ###Panelists: ###**Bill Lynch - Co-Founder and Advisor, Jive Software** Bill Lynch is a software entrepreneur and advisor. He is one of the co-founders of Jive Software, a company he started in 2001. Bill led product development efforts for 6 years and then transitioned to Product Management at Jive until his retirement from the company in 2013. Jive grew from two co-founders to a team of almost 700 globally and a successful IPO in December 2011. Today, Bill is an advisor to local startups, organizes networking events for area Product Managers, and serves as the Entrepreneur in Residence at the Portland Development Commission. Bill has a BS in computer science from the University of Iowa. ###**Andy Mallinger – Director of Product, Iovation** After 5 years as a software developer Andy moved to the dark side (marketing) in order to get free lunches traveling with the sales team. Frequently jumping between product management and product marketing, Andy has been deep in new product research, product road-mapping and go to market planning and execution at Portland companies CenterSpan, Digimarc, RNA networks and Iovation. A lover of variety, technology focus includes SaaS fraud prevention, secure document issuance, mobile-connected content, memory virtualization, and peer to peer networks. Andy grew up in Pittsburgh and earned his BA in computer science at Denison University and an MBA from Northwestern University - Kellogg School of Management. ###**Julie Anne Reda - VP of Product Strategy, Yesmail Interactive** Julie Anne Reda, is a seasoned product management executive and is responsible to drive the product vision, strategy, roadmap and launch of Yesmail products. Julie Anne, along with her team manages product development and ensures products exceed market demands for innovative solutions that fit the changing landscape of digital marketing. Julie Anne has enabled large organizations such as Walt Disney Company, Fox Broadcasting, Sony Pictures, Ticketmaster and CitySearch.com to evolve their products to tailor toward the marketplace. ###Moderator: ###**David Nash - VP Product Management, ADP Dealer Services** ###**Schedule:** 6:00 – 6:30pm Gathering / Networking / Refreshments** 6:30 – 6:45pm Announcements (upcoming events, who’s hiring, etc.) 6:45 – 7:30pm Panel Discussion 7:30 – 7:45pm Q&A / Open discussion 7:45 – 8:00pm Networking ###**Cost:** $10 on-line registration prior to the event ** $15 at the door A discount is available for PDMA members.

description Welcome to the PADNUG Not-West meeting! We've had people clamoring for some content on the other side of the hills and there are now people who can help make that happen! This is an experiment, for sure, but one we hope can be a regular feature. If you love C# and .NET, you may be surprised to see how many of the features you love also exist in Python (often first). Python is a wonderful language. It is a clean high-level language which values readability over many trade-offs. You can build web applications serving billions of monthly page views. You can build cross-platform GUI applications such as DropBox. You can access amazingly powerful database servers such as MongoDB and SQL Server. But did you know many of the things you absolutely love about C# also exist in Python? Lambda expressions - check. foreach loops - check. Rich class library - check. Iterators - check. And there is more. Come learn about all the things you love from C# and see how they are accomplished in Python. - WHERE: Microsoft Portland Office (Pearl District) 1414 NW Northrup St Portland, OR 97209-2798 - WHEN: Thursday 02/20/2014 6:00 p.m. Pizza 6:30 p.m. Business and Intro 7:00 p.m. Presentation 8:45 p.m. After Words TBD ---- SPONSORS: ----------------------------------- Thanks to our Premium Sponsors that help make our meetings possible: azad Technology Partners | Technology Consulting - Engineering - Project Management | Committed to Your Success Cinetopia | Why watch a movie in coach when you can see it in first class?

description nil Join us for a day of learning about Information Architecture! You'd be surprised just how much all of our disciplines are connected. From UX to Architecture to Photography to Creative Writing, the design of information requires processes to create the ideal outcome for something that did not exist before. Meet fellow practitioners, get a better understanding of what others do and how you can use that knowledge to make what you do even better. Our lineup starts at 9am and ends at 6pm, with a one hour break for lunch. Come to one session, a few, or see them all! Your ticket price (only $15!) is good for the day, so you can come and go as you please. Lineup: -Crystal Rutland-CEO and Director of Research and Strategy at Empirical UX -Corey Pressman-Owner and Chief Strategist at Exprima Media -Josh Romberg-Photographer and Visual Designer -Craig Peters-CEO, Awasu Design San Francisco -Kate Ertmann-Owner and Animation Process Expert at Animation Dynamics -Awaiting confirmation from 3 others.

Bring your pitches, with or without slides (bring your laptop to plug into the A/V system), and walk away with valuable feedback and coaching. Or come to see others pitch, and provide feedback to and/or learn from others.

You will get fresh perspectives on what concerns you, and you will meet fellow architects with similar interests. We will be meeting on February 11th from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. in the Mongolia Room at the Broadway Coffeehouse in Salem, OR.

description nil Use discount code " calagator "for a 25% discount. http://bit.ly/1ioWhHi Startup Weekend focused on making entrepreneurship more accessible to everyone. Our mission is to create an environment where anyone can innovate together. We're focusing on accessibility to provide better access for people with disabilities and fluid collaboration amongst every participant. An appropriate accessible environment with the necessary auxiliary aids support services will be provided! Startup Weekend’s a 54-hour event where aspiring entrepreneurs, developers, designers, marketers, product managers, and entrepreneurs of all abilities come together to share startup ideas, form teams, build products, and launch startups. Essentially, it’s a crash course in entrepreneurship that lets you experience what it’s really like to build and launch a startup. Whether you have an idea for a new mobile app that will make your life easier or just want to learn more about entrepreneurship, we encourage you to attend. Why? The statistics are clear, people with disabilities are not only less likely to be employed, but also less likely to pursue entrepreneurship. We hope that Startup Weekend Access will ignite your entrepreneurial spark!
