Seeing Software Quality Through an Agile Lens

| description |
Abstract:
Seeing Software Quality through an Agile Lens
...or Scrum canât buy you love (or quality), but it can get you there much faster.
For a software quality engineer entering an Agile team for the first time, the transition can be extreme. The traditional software quality practices and activities change in many ways but, looking closely, the core principles are still there. In fact, Agile development can be an SQEâs dream! Agile naturally combines all factors that impact quality from people to transparency all in a cohesive system.
Join Rhea as she details her experience of going from a waterfall background and jumping head first into an Agile development environment. She will focus on how she applied quality practices in this environment, road bumps along the way that any team adopting Agile might encounter, and how Agile enabled levels of quality beyond all previous expectations.
Bio:
Rhea Stadick is a software quality manager for product engineering teams in the Business Client group at Intel.

Inaugural meeting!
The Zissou Society for Programming Language Exploration (aka pdxlang) is a general programming language discussion/exploration group. The weird, the offbeat, the little-known, the forgotten programming languages. These are the things we'll be discussing.
We have three talks lined up:
* Bart Massey will show us Inform 7.
* Joe Groff is going to present on Factor.
* Markus Roberts will give a talk on ... something. We're still
working that out. If you've seen Markus present before, you know it's
probably more fun that way.

According to Business Incubation Works, “Business incubators reduce the risk of small business failures. Historically, NBIA* member incubators have reported that 87 percent of all firms that have graduated from their incubators are still in business.” In this webinar series, OEN will explore the ups and downs of starting a company in an incubator.
What really happens within start up incubators? Do they help companies become successful or at least get over certain challenges? What type of companies and people find the incubator experience to be a positive? Are there downfalls to going through the experience? These are just a few of the questions you can ask Josh Blank and Tom Turnbull who has started their successful company in an incubator.
Want to submit your questions ahead of time? Email them to Larry Williams at larryw@oen.org for the next session. |

AgilePDX - Strategy and The Mikado Method
Roll back
| description |
nil |
→ |
What alternatives are there to the predominant linear management approach which relies on reductionism and the ability to predict. How can you avoid the temptation to engineer and control outcomes by manipulating the component parts of organizations business and process?
Ola describes his nonlinear approach, where he combines Real Options, the Mikado Method, and evolutionary design to form a dynamic, diametrically opposite perspective to the familar linear management view.
Presenter:
Ola Ellnestam likes to combine people, technology and business which is best done with simple means and flexible processes. More than that he likes to share his knowledge and experiences because that’s how new insights are created according to him. Ola is a founder of Agical.se , a board member of the Agile Aliance, director of the Agile Alliance conference sponsorship program, and co-author (with Daniel Brolund) of The Mikado Method book.
This event is free and is at Puppet Labs. It begins at 6:30 pm with pizza, sponsored by PNSQC (Many thanks to both Puppet Labs and PNSQC for supporting agile in Portland).
The program starts at 7:00 pm.
After the program you're invited to join us for a no-host gathering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion of agile fluency
Also, on Thursday, April 19, join Ola for a one-day workshop on The Mikado Method
For more information on the workshop, see: http://calagator.org/events/1250461927

March Meetup @Simple
Roll back

<p>There will be 2 talks this March! The R meetup is returning to Simple, to whom we extend our gratitude for hosting. See below for speakers and talk descriptions.</p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Mike Psaris</p>
<p>This talk will cover some of the functions and packages used to import data into R, and present some of the ways to perform analysis on stream temperatures throughout the Columbia River Basin.  Includes a discussion of some of the packages to incorporate into future work, such as plyr and snow. </p>
<p>Â </p>
<p>Cameron Bracken</p>
<p>Dynamic report generation is an integral part of statistical analysis. Â When you think of dynamic report generation you might think "Sweave" but Sweave is only the beginning of the tools now available in R. Â Dynamic report generation in R started with Sweave about 10 years ago but has evolved considerably since then. This talk will cover the origins of Sweave and current extension packages such as cacheSweave, pgfSweave and weaver, as well as other approaches such as brew and the all new and possibly end all knitr package.</p> |

AgilePDX sponsors: "The Mikado Method, or how to behead the legacy beast" workshop
Roll back
| description |
For any code base there comes a time when you want (or need) to change it. If your changes are extensive, itâs easy to get lost in a jungle of dependencies or on a sea of broken code. Ultimately, you might just give up and shove it away under the legacy label. Instead of doing that, use "The Mikado Method," a systematic approach to reclaim your code. The method helps you visualize, prepare, and perform business-value focused changes, while delivering, and without having a broken code-base in the process. It enhances team communication, collaboration and learning, and helps individuals stay on track.
http://mikadomethod.wordpress.com/book/
For: Lead developers, architects, programming coaches, or anyone who wants to get some serious hands-on practice on how to work their way out of messy code while keeping the delivery frequency and business value focus.
Join Ola Ellnestam, founder of Agical.se and author of The Mikado Method, as he leads the group through exploring techniques for restructuring difficult-t0-work-with code. Ola likes to combine people, technology and business which is best done with simple means and flexible processes. More than that he likes to share his knowledge and experiences because thatâs how new insights are created according to him. http://ellnestam.wordpress.com/

The method helps you visualize, prepare, and perform business-value focused changes, while delivering, and without having a broken code-base in the process. It enhances team communication, collaboration and learning, and helps individuals stay on track.
http://mikadomethod.wordpress.com/book/
For: Lead developers, architects, programming coaches, or anyone who wants to get some serious hands-on practice on how to work their way out of messy code while keeping the delivery frequency and business value focus.
Join Ola Ellnestam, founder of Agical.se and author of The Mikado Method, as he leads the group through exploring techniques for restructuring difficult-t0-work-with code. Ola likes to combine people, technology and business which is best done with simple means and flexible processes. More than that he likes to share his knowledge and experiences because thatâs how new insights are created according to him. http://ellnestam.wordpress.com/

The Linux Clinic meets once a month on the third Sunday from 1 - 5 pm at Free Geek, 1731 SE 10th Avenue, Portland, 97214.
Bring you Linux computer that is being a brat and we'll teach it some manners. Or bring your computer that has some evil operating system on it and we'll send it home with a shiny, clean Linux distro. Or just come and look over shoulders to see what Linux is all about.
If you already know Linux well, the Clinic is also a good place to learn how to help users troubleshoot problems. It's excellent training for tech support work in Linux.
We have monitors, mice, keyboards, and miscellanous other perifpherals, so generally all you need to bring is the box.
There is also coffee and people usually bring munchies as well. After all, you can't computer on an empty tummy. |
