Portland PMI Monthly Agile Roundtable : First meeting Wednesday, January 8, 2015, 12p-1p, 400 SW 6th Ave, 1st fl conf rm. RSVPs ([email protected]) appreciated but not required. Bring a lunch; snacks will be provided.
This roundtable is a friendly and supportive forum where agilists and agile-interested contributors —Scrum Masters, Product Owners, Team Members, Project Managers, Coaches, and Agile Managers—come together to talk about agile practice.

However, all agile-related topics are welcome and dialogue is encouraged. We anticipate that some months will be a multi-topic, interactive discussion while others will have agile topics of interested presented by a speaker. Attendees will form the community and shape the conversation, topics and direction.
The January 8th meeting will have two parts: a brief presentation on why the roundtable is being started, including data from PMI and Cutter, followed by brainstorming and agile topic identification for the coming months. Be there to form the agile community and shape the conversation for 2014!
You may sign up for this roundtable at http://www.pmi-portland.org/roundtables, but signup is not required.
We start promptly at 12p and end promptly at 1p. Late comers welcome, but you miss some of the good stuff.

PDXCloud December Gathering
Roll back
| description |
Hey everyone, welcome to 2014! For the first meeting of the year, I thought we could have an open discussion.
Let’s see if we can put together a list of tools and tips targeted to companies and organizations just getting started with cloud technology. The end goal would be to create a community-written how-to resource that we could post to pdxcloud.com.
Tools:
* Cloud Service Providers
* Configuration Management Systems
* Monitoring/Alerting
* Centralized Logging
* Cost Management
* Code/Deployment Management
Tips:
* Security
* Development in Cloud
* Eventual Consistency
* Design for Failure
* Distributed Systems
* Backup and Disaster Recovery Planning
If you have more categories to add to the list, please bring them to the meeting. If you have a tool or technique you’d like to demonstrate or present on (formally or informally), that would be fantastic. And most importantly, if you can identify gaps in your cloud technology knowledge or implementation that you’d like to delve into as part of this discussion, definitely plan to share those points.
As always, there will be pizza and refreshments. Doors open at 6:30pm, meeting starts at 7pm. Looking forward to seeing you all on Wednesday! |
→ |
EDIT: No regular meeting this week, instead please join us at the OpenStack NW meetup:
“Some of the core contributors, developers and implementers of OpenStack are flying over to Portland to bring you the latest and greatest in Cloud storage. And generous sponsors are buying us dinner and beer. This meetup is quickly growing to be one of the most interesting events in the Northwest for those wanting to stay on top of advancement in the future of computing.”
Meeting is held at Jama South: 334 NW 11th Ave, Portland
6pm to 9pm. See Meetup for more details: http://www.meetup.com/OpenStack-Northwest/events/151114422/ |

Persona Stories: Weaving Together Qual and Quant for a Richer Picture with Whitney Quesenbery, WQusability.com
Stories have power to add empathy and connection to our work. They can help us learn about people, culture, and context—why, when, and how our products might be used—and share this with a design team. Stories permeate UX techniques from user stories to storyboards. They come to full power when used with personas: the persona provides a fully envisioned lead character for the story, a perspective through which interactions can be explored, and a voice for the emotional reactions to design ideas.
Creating stories for personas is a craft. They are not fiction, but are grounded in the data and user research that informs the persona. They are not fact, but are imagined events, shaped to explore possibilities. They are realistic, but not perhaps real, because they represent not just one individual or event, but something that might happen, and that provides insights into a user experience.
We’ll look at some structures that are helpful in crafting persona stories. And at questions like whether to write in first, second, or third person—and when each is valuable. We’ll create a quick story and share it, showing how impromptu stories can help in design sessions.
Free for CHIFOO Members and $5.00 for non CHIFOO Members. |

DIY Storytelling With Video with Julie Yamamoto, CMD Agency
To kick off this year’s series on storytelling, we’ll try on a few constructs for size. In this discussion, we will review a variety of ways to structure narratives, from the common to the complex, paired with examples from our current digital environment. Attendees will have the opportunity to survey different forms of storytelling and determine if some may work for their organizations’ needs. Hands-on talk about how to use video capture equipment and editing for storytelling and capturing user experiences for design, usability, research, social sharing and other needs.
About the Speaker
A journalist by training, Julie Yamamoto (@juliey) has participated first-hand in the information revolution that brought mainstream communications from print to pixels. Julie began her journalism career working for major daily newspapers in Southern California, and later as a reporter and editor for The Associated Press in Los Angeles. After working in daily news, her career path took her into public relations and marketing communications both in-house at organizations on the East Coast and on the agency side of the fence at leading firms in the West. During her eight years at CMD, Julie has brought a wealth of experience to strategic planning, working with content creators and social influencers, project management, social media practice and media training. Julie is a graduate of the University of Southern California |

Persona Stories: Weaving Together Qual and Quant for a Richer Picture with Whitney Quesenbery, WQusability.com
Stories have power to add empathy and connection to our work. They can help us learn about people, culture, and context—why, when, and how our products might be used—and share this with a design team. Stories permeate UX techniques from user stories to storyboards. They come to full power when used with personas: the persona provides a fully envisioned lead character for the story, a perspective through which interactions can be explored, and a voice for the emotional reactions to design ideas.
Creating stories for personas is a craft. They are not fiction, but are grounded in the data and user research that informs the persona. They are not fact, but are imagined events, shaped to explore possibilities. They are realistic, but not perhaps real, because they represent not just one individual or event, but something that might happen, and that provides insights into a user experience.
We’ll look at some structures that are helpful in crafting persona stories. And at questions like whether to write in first, second, or third person—and when each is valuable. We’ll create a quick story and share it, showing how impromptu stories can help in design sessions.
Free for CHIFOO Members and $5.00 for non CHIFOO Members. |

InComm Digital Open House & Agile Fluency Presentation by Diana Larsen
Roll back
| description |
nil |

InComm Digital is hosting a New Years party and open house in the new office in the US Bankcorp Tower (AKA Big Pink) on Thursday January 9th. Come check out the new space, talk with our team about what we're doing in the emerging digital payments space, and find out about career opportunities.
We're kicking off at 4 PM with a talk by Diana Larsen on Agile Fluency! Grab a beer and check out Diana's talk, or show up later and enjoy food and drinks on us.
**Some details on the talk:**
Going “Agile” can confer a number of benefits to an organization, but all too often those promised benefits aren’t fully delivered. Do you have the visibility you need to understand progress and make timely market-focused decisions? Do your teams ship on a frequency your customers can, and want, to accept? Does innovation flourish in and across teams? How about reduced cycle time? Developed by Diana Larsen and James Shore, "The Path to Agile Fluency" models predictable stages of agile team competency and helps leaders and team members define the benefits they’re getting, determine the benefits they really want, plan next steps, and describe success.
**About InComm Digital:**
InComm Digital Solutions (IDS), redefines the connection between merchants and their customers through stored value and mobile gifting solutions. As the pioneer of digital gift card delivery, IDS helps clients leverage gift card program in new ways to drive sales. IDS delivers digital gift cards through e-commerce, social media, promotional and B2B toolsets. eGift Cards are delivered to Facebook, email and mobile devices.

pdxdevops: Portland DevOps user group meeting

Please join us on January 20th at Jama South for a discussion of *Vagrant 101* with Jama's own Rich Howard.
A seasoned veteran of devops, Rich will lead an introduction into the magical realm of Vagrant including networking, multi-VM setup and provisioning. I look forward to seeing everyone there!
Vagrant is free and open-source software for creating and configuring virtual development environments. Although it started as a wrapper around VirtualBox with configuration management integration with Chef and Puppet, later versions have come to support AWS and VMWare as well as various means of provisioning and configuring the boxes including Ansible and Salt.
*Many thanks to Jama for hosting the event!*
ABOUT THE GROUP: pdxdevops is a Portland, Oregon user group that explores the glorious intersection of software development and systems operations, and shares practical advice on working effectively in an era of agile infrastructure, server automation and cloud computing. Meetings are usually on the third Monday of the month. Website: http://pdxdevops.org/ Twitter: @pdxdevops |

The Basics of Startup Law
Roll back

In the start-up world, legal issues are frequently identified but practical solutions are hard to come by. However, with a little bit of knowledge better decisions can be made early and there are more ways to succeed and fewer ways to fail.
There are many “checklists” for startup legal but most importantly a company must identify:
1) Ownership among founders / employees / investors
2) Entity selection
3) IP protection
4) Employee / Independent Contractor relationships
5) Tax planning
6) What to do when things go wrong
This month Leigh Gill of Immix Law will join YESpdx to present on the fundamentals of start-up law. Leigh started his career in finance and then spent a decade in software development before becoming an attorney. For more information on Leigh, visit www.immixlawgroup.com
As usual, there will be beer and snacks! Event co-sponsored by NedSpace and the Oregon Entrepreneurs Network (OEN). |
