<div class="description">
<p>In October, SolutionsIQ organized an entertaining, educational, and well-attended panel on Incremental Architecture.</p>
<p>In November, Michael Kelly will present our next evening meeting topic, Agile Methodologies: A Matter of Survival.</p>
<p>Metaphorically, we frequently think of things as surviving where there's no real threat to life. Companies survive. Products, and the teams that produce them, survive. Individual members of the team continue to be a member of the team by virtue of their ability to survive. In all these activities we see the same lively dance of competition and cooperation, of adaptation and evolution, within a constantly changing environment.</p>
<p>Michael Kelly, a survivor of numerous software campaigns, will bring together the insights of famed survival writer Laurence Gonzales, some rather surprising research into the neuroscience of decision making, and some hair-raising personal experiences to illuminate the importance of agile methodologies and suggest some potential new directions.</p>
<p>This is our usual monthly meeting for the month of November. Remember the location and time for future meetings! Third Wed of the month, at CubeSpace.</p>

<p>We'll have a discussion on one of the people issues associated with agile software development: how do you turn a bad situation around?</p>
<p>Just as legacy code is a set of problems that take special techniques to overcome, legacy interpersonal interactions are too. I'm pretty sure that unit tests aren't the answer for most interpersonal problems, either. :)</p>
<p>More seriously, it's pretty common to join a company or team with existing trust and communication (and yes, tech) issues. Come share ways of turning those into successes.</p>

<p>Announcing Agile Open Northwest 2010! This Agile Open Space event will be
held February 9th and 10th, 2010, in the Seattle Center Northwest Rooms.
Please see <a href="http://www.agileopennorthwest.org">http://www.agileopennorthwest.org</a> for registration information
and further details.</p>
<p>We invite you to our fourth annual Agile Open Northwest conference.
Alternating each year between Portland and Seattle, AONW conferences bring
together practicing members of the Northwest Agile communities to explore
the latest developments in agile software development. We held our third
annual event last year in Portland and enjoyed another great success.
Registration is $125.00 for both days, including light breakfast and lunch.
This low-cost regional conference is a great opportunity to connect with the
local agile community, experts and novices alike.</p>
<p>Please join us this year as we host 125 experienced, collaborative,
committed agile practitioners from the Northwest U.S. (and beyond) in
tackling the issues around our recurring theme "Agile for Real." As in past
years, attendance is limited to a predetermined number in order retain the
many advantages a small conference has to offer.</p>
<p>Here is a comment from a previous attendee:</p>
<p>"These two-day Agile Open Northwest conferences are an extremely good value.
..[Y]ou learn directly from practitioners in the agile community what works
and what doesn't. I attended the first two of these conferences, they were
stunningly good... loads of practical, useful stuff and stimulating
discussions." -- Ian Savage, PNSQC Program Chair</p>
<p>More information can be found at <a href="http://www.agileopennorthwest.org">http://www.agileopennorthwest.org</a>. Registration is open now. We look forward to seeing you there.</p>

<p>We're happy to announce that Elisabeth Hendrickson will be speaking to the Portland Agile Users Group on Wednesday the 17th. She's an energetic and informative member of the greater agile community who periodically comes up from the Bay Area to share her knowledge with us. Her talk on ATDD[*] last year at CubeSpace was great fun and well-received.</p>
<p>This year she'll be taking us through an interactive simulation of an agile transition. When she ran this simulation at Agile 2009, it replicated a number of problems I've seen take months and years to play out on real software teams. Bring your team members! It's far less stressful to talk about problems in the context of an evening's simulation than in the context of three years of product development.</p>
<p>Pizza is sponsored by YesMail of InfoGroup Interactive. Pizza and networking start at 6:30; presentation starts at 7. If there's enough interest, we'll go to a pub afterward for further discussion.</p>

<p>Join us for a discussion of topics related to agile software development! Audience participation strongly encouraged. Pizza is at 6:30; discussion starts at 7.</p>
<p>For those unfamiliar with the term, a fishbowl discussion works like fishbowl coding: there are a small number of people who are up front and allowed to speak at any given time. If you want to ask a question or say something, swap in for one of the people up front. If you're up front and done speaking, sit back down in the audience.</p>
<p>Potential discussion topics include mock objects in testing; balancing ideology with reality; certification; no/low bugs in a codebase; contracting without being able to give a fixed bid. Or bring your own! We'll decide what we're discussing at the beginning of the meeting, but expect the conversation to wander.</p>

<p>In this fast paced, hands-on one day course, you will learn and experience the principles and practices of Lean Thinking applied to service industries (non-manufacturing). During this course you will “learn to see” waste in any process, enabling you to identify opportunities for improving speed, quality, cost, innovation, employee engagement, and customer satisfaction.</p>
<h3>Lean operates across three levels of an organization.</h3>
<pre><code>* <b>At the individual level</b>, Lean enables people to do their daily work, while improving how they do this work, always with a keen focus on what their customers want.
* <b>At the management systems level</b>, Lean focuses on cross-functional activity, breaking down organizational silos, balancing demand and workload so processes flow smoothly.
* <b>At the executive level</b>, Lean connects organization strategy with management systems and daily improvement activities, ensuring that everyone in the organization is communicating clearly and focusing on process improvements that yield the greatest benefit to the organization.
</code></pre>
<h3>You’ll return to your organization with:</h3>
<pre><code>* Hands-on experience with fundamental Lean tools and techniques that drive process improvement
* The understanding needed to begin investigating the flow of work and information within your organization, identifying opportunities to increase value and reduce waste

<p>Value-first in the nick of time: how agile methods and lean program management averted crisis to deliver the goods on a $20 million business process change.</p>
<p>Part experience report, part expedition, this presentation will take you inside an Agile adoption nested within a project turnaround. From diagnosis through prescription, convalescence, and recovery to eventual triumph and the acceptance of a new status quo, you will hear how a century-old organization transformed its application delivery capability in the face of a crisis, growing a project team from six to 60 developers inside two months and accelerating from one release in six months to several releases every sprint. This is a must-see for anyone who has ever struggled against organizational inertia or dreamed of rapidly scaling Agile from the team level to the enterprise level to the sound of cheering business managers.</p>
<p>Our speaker is Adam Light, Ph.D. Adam is a Management Consultant and Principal at SoTech Advisors (<a href="http://www.sotechadvisors.com">www.sotechadvisors.com</a>) where he plans and executes successful projects and builds work systems that deliver on client goals.</p>
<p>Adam has more than fifteen years’ experience designing and developing business applications from shrink-wrapped software to real-time information services in domains from natural resources management to supply chain optimization.</p>
<p>As a planning and program management leader, Adam has worked with as few as three and as many as twenty teams, using Agile methods and critical chain techniques to turn around failing projects, revive ailing organizations, and redesign application delivery at the enterprise scale. His broad perspective and deep experience enable him to rapidly deliver return on investment from large projects.</p>
<p>This event is free and is at our new location, 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).</p>
<p>The program starts at 7:00 pm.</p>
<p>After the program you're invited to join us for a no-host gathering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion.</p>

<p>In 2009, Performance Health Technology went "all-in" and began the
adoption of agile methodologies throughout the software development
process. In this talk, you'll take a multi-year journey with a growing
small business and experience the transition from the blissful ignorance
of cowboy-coding through the misery and despair of a sinking,
dysfunctional organization, and on to the satisfaction and exhilaration
that comes with a high-functioning agile team.</p>
<p>This interactive presentation is about both the pain and the fulfillment
that comes with developing software in a small business, before, during,
and after agile adoption. Developers, Business/IT Managers, Agile
Coaches, and Executives are invited to look behind the curtain to see
how PH Tech narrowly escaped from the Pit of Development Despair and
survived a Total Immersion into Agile.</p>
<p>Chad is the Director of Information Technology at PH Tech. His
responsibilities include all aspects of technological infrastructure and
software development, including three technology departments;
Information Systems, Business Intelligence, and Software Engineering.
When he's not talking about healthcare or technology, he's expounding
the life-giving qualities of bacon and BBQ. Buy him a beer and he'll
give you the recipe for the greatest chicken wing rub he's ever stolen.</p>
<p>This event is free and is at our new location, 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).</p>
<p>The program starts at 7:00 pm.</p>
<p>After the program you're invited to join us for a no-host gathering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion of chicken wings and other agile conundrums.</p>

<p>At the heart of Lean Thinking is the Plan-Do-Check-Act problem solving process popularized by Dr. Deming over fifty years ago. This problem solving discipline is still vital today, and it’s the very core of what it means to be a “learning organization.”</p>
<p>This workshop provides hands-on, experiential learning by applying this discipline to a problem that is meaningful to you:</p>
<p> </p><ul>
<li> First comes a little advance homework – choose a problem you and your team face, gather some data and artifacts, and speak to your stakeholders to understand their perspectives and needs</li>
</ul><pre><code><li>Then attend the workshop for a six-hour interactive walkthrough of the problem solving process, during which we will tackle the problem you and your team have brought to class</li>
</code></pre>
<p> </p><li>Take what you’ve learned back to your workplace and share with your associates
<pre><code><li>Then participate in a conference call with the course instructor to discuss what you’ve learned, and how you and your team are addressing in a way that it stays solved</li> </ul>

<p>Test Driven Development has reached maturity. Goad Testing takes you a level deeper, examining what tests really are and using the outcome of that exercise to derive new ways of keeping software - both production and test - healthy, flexible, and on-specification. Making distinctions is a critical aspect of a test: It allows a test to serve as an executable specification. Sometimes this ability is lost in the course of maintenance. Goad testing is a way to prevent that from happening without introducing significant extra work or complexity.</p>

<p>Difficulty iterating? Stuck in a rut at work? Throw caution to the wind and host a hackathon! You can finally play with Shiny Thing 2.0, show it off to your friends and teammates, all in a format that will encourage you to work in small, iterative slices.</p>
<p>Growing in popularity in recent years, hackathons provide a venue for folks to get together, explore new ideas and (hopefully!) build working software in the span of a couple of days. Come learn about their use in the corporate space and the public space at large, how to sponsor one, and how to make the event create lasting effects. We'll also explore the parallels between agile development and hackathons, and how each is good practice for the other.</p>
<p>Ben Houston is a pragmatic software engineer who is currently in love with mazes and geometry.</p>

<p>It's time for your yearly Agile tune-up! Has your Agile team made its new year's resolutions yet? If not, this month's AgilePDX meeting will help. It's all about helping you understand what you can do to improve the state of your Agile practice.</p>
<p>James Shore will kick things off with a description of Agile Fluency. He'll describe multiple levels of proficiency and help you figure out where your team is today. Then, he'll provide specific techniques and practices to focus on as you work to reach the next level.</p>
<p>Next, we'll turn it over to you! You'll break into groups focused on the issues that matter most to your teams.

<div class="description">
<p>Have you ever begun an Agile adoption, only to watch in dismay and puzzlement as the change fizzles out like a wet firecracker? Have you generated excitement for these new ideas, seen them seem to take root and grow, only to find a year later that people have fallen back into their old ways of doing things? Or, are they now cherry picking Agile practices, perhaps using Agile terms, but ignoring the Agile values? If so, you are not alone. In this talk, Tamara Sulaiman Runyon discusses some reasons why simple practice adoption is not enough; and why transformation is so difficult to make stick in many organizations. Topics include: the nature of change and complex systems models - where do we fit? The key role that vision and leadership play in instigating and supporting transformation; the potential iceberg of organizational culture as a change blocker, as well as people aspects - the levels of discomfort caused by any change; and measuring the growth of competence as Agile practices and Values are assimilated.</p>
<p>Presenter Bio:</p>
<p>Tamara Sulaiman Runyon has been assisting teams in transitioning to agile methods both as a hands-on ScrumMaster and as an Agile Coach and Scrum trainer since 2003. Her passion lies in helping organizations plan and implement Agile transformations. In her role as Enterprise Agile Coach at Intel, she is deeply involved with leading and supporting Agile teams and practices throughout the organization.</p>
<p>She is a Certified Scrum Trainer (CST) and Project Management Professional (PMP). Tamara is the co-originator of the AgileEVM materials and processes that integrate the traditional project management practice of Earned Value Management with the Scrum framework. As a thought leader she is currently serving on the Agile Alliance Board of Directors. Tamara continues to publish articles on Agile-related topics in industry publications such as Agile Journal, Methods and Tools, InfoQ, Projects@Work and gantthead.com. She also shares her experiences, ideas and expertise as a presenter and speaker at conferences.</p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>The program starts at 7:00 pm.</p>

<p>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?</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Presenter:</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>The program starts at 7:00 pm.</p>
<p>After the program you're invited to join us for a no-host gathering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion of agile fluency</p>
<p>Also, on Thursday, April 19, join Ola for a one-day workshop on The Mikado Method</p>

<p>Talk description:</p>
<p>Businesses rely on getting valuable new software into the hands of users as fast as possible, while making sure that they keep their production environments stable. Continuous Delivery is a revolutionary and scalable approach to software delivery that enables any team, including teams within enterprise IT organizations, to achieve rapid, reliable releases through better collaboration between developers, testers, DBAs and operations, and automation of the build, deploy, test and release process.</p>
<p>I’ll start by discussing the value of CD to the business, inspired by the lean startup movement. I’ll then present the principles and practices involved in continuous delivery, including value stream mapping, the deployment pipeline, acceptance test driven development, zero-downtime releases, and incremental development. I’ll cover how CD is enabled by an ecosystem including Devops, cloud computing, agile testing, and continuous deployment.</p>

<p>Here's the abstract:</p>
<p>Agile Still Sucks.</p>
<p>Bringing Agile into an organization is never a good idea. It is disruptive, complicated, and very expensive. It brings organizational dysfunction to the surface and shines a bright light on business practices that sabotage teams and fail to deliver value to clients. Further, unwitting teams may adopt a version of Agile that becomes dogmatic, inflexible, and interested in perpetuating the "process” of Agile rather than being, well, agile. The only thing worse than bringing Agile in, is trying to get Agile right.</p>
<p>That said, everyone should be using Agile. This presentation will explore ways to bring Agile into an organization, how to choose the right "flavor” of Agile, and what to do when it goes badly – because it will. This presentation will also examine how to expand the Agile conversation from within the software development team, outward to internal stakeholders, and eventually into client engagements.</p>

<p>Bring your questions. Bring your Problems. Join us for Lean Coffee facilitated by Diana Larsen.</p>
<p>Lean Coffee started in Seattle in 2009 when Jim Benson and Jeremy Lightsmith wanted to combine lean and Knowledge work. Now, Seattle Lean Coffee happens every week, and is very popular.</p>
<p>Lean Coffee is a structured, but agenda-less meeting. Participants gather, build an agenda, and begin talking. Conversations are directed and productive because the agenda for the meeting was democratically generated.</p>
<p>(<a href="http://leancoffee.org/">http://leancoffee.org/</a>)</p>
<p>Details and Pizza:</p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>The program starts at 7:00 pm.</p>

<h2>Only 20 spots so sign up today!</h2>
<p>Someone get the Fabreeze, because your idea STINKS!</p>
<p>A softer way of putting that is your idea has a hole in it somewhere. You should identify the holes in the boat before launching your transatlantic journey.</p>
<p>Forget your solution and run your first experiment by talking to customers and validating that they have the problem you think they have.</p>
<p>Learn the importance of Customer Development and why talking to customers is step one for any new idea, product, or service. After a brief intro to Lean and my personal story, we will set up your first problem/customer statement and conduct your first experiment using the Validation Board. Part of this class will be "out of the building" as we do in our Lean workshops.</p>
<p>We will cover the following in the this session.
- Brief into to Lean and why it is valuable
- Complete run-through of Validation Board (as this will be the basis of all experiments)
- How to turn assumptions into experiments
- Types of minimal viable products to build
- What features do my customers want (setting up experiments for team)
- Customer development tactics and exercises to implement
- Case study of real life implementation and business model</p>

<p>About Adam Berk
Entrepreneurial Science, Lean Startup Machine</p>
<p>I am the Global Director of Entrepreneurial Science at Lean Startup Machine. I have the great pleasure of travelling around the world to teach entrepreneurs about Lean methodologies. I have helped over 100 teams of entrepreneurs in Istanbul, Silicon Valley, NYC, Seattle, Vancouver, Montreal, and at The University of Florida, Microsoft, AOL, NewsInternational, etc.</p>
<p>Standing on the shoulders of giants like Eric Ries, Steve Blank, Patrick Vlaskovits and others, we have distilled the Lean methodology into actionable, sequential steps. I really enjoy teaching early stage companies how to identify their riskiest assumptions and test them using our own proprietary tool, the Validation Board. I wish I could have taken this class when I built my first startup, neighborrow.com and I used the methods I teach in my current app for wedding photos - where I validated the solution and had paying customers before I wrote a line of code.</p>

<p>The Use of Cadence in Agile and Traditional Projects: Sprint Length, Integration Frequency, and Other Matters of Rhythm</p>
<p>Presented by Kathy Iberle</p>
<p>Dates/Times: Thursday, March 14, 2013: Networking @ 5:30-6:30 PM; Seminar 6:30-7:30 PM</p>
<p>Abstract:</p>
<p>A sprint is just one example of the use of cadence or rhythm to make a process more efficient. Once you understand the fundamentals of cadence, you can apply cadence in both agile and traditional projects to reduce overhead and coordinate activities. Learn how to determine the ideal sprint length for your project, find out when continuous integration won’t help, and discover other ways that cadence can benefit your project! This talk explores the science behind the concept of a “project heartbeat” using 2nd-generation Lean thinking.
Bio:</p>
<p>Kathy Iberle is an expert at producing high-quality software and high-tech products using practical methods. She worked in a variety of fields during her long career at Hewlett-Packard - electronic instruments, medical products, printers, and Internet applications – and she has seen development from a range of perspectives: software developer, quality engineer, test lab manager, requirements manager, agile coach, process improvement expert. Kathy has a deep knowledge of the underlying theory behind agile and Lean development, combined with a flair for pragmatic applications, which has enabled her to successfully extend software agile development methods into areas where most people think “agile just can’t work”.
Kathy reviewed technical papers for the Pacific Northwest Software Quality Conference (PNSQC) for many years, served as co-chair of PNSQC’s Program Committee in 2009, participated in the invitation-only Software Test Managers Roundtable for five years, and has published regularly since 1997. Kathy has an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Washington, and an excessive collection of degrees in Chemistry from the University of Washington and the University of Michigan.

<p>Who: YOU and all members of the local active Agile community (i.e., anyone who's doing any form of Agile - or wishes they could)</p>
<p>What: We invite you to join us in looking at future opportunities for AgilePDX.</p>
<p>When: On our regular meeting date, 3rd Wednesday, August 21</p>
<p>Why: Because "self-organizing" "collaborative" "responding to change"</p>
<p>How: Alicia Lanier (our facilitator) will help us stay on track as we take a couple of hours to look at:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>our draft Purpose and how it influences our decisions</p></li>
<li><p>where we are now and how we got here (3+ meetings at different days, times of day, and geographic locations!)</p></li>
<li><p>what that tells us about where we'd like to be</p></li>
<li><p>what next steps will help us get there</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Not one of our usual meetings, but more of an AgilePDX-wide retrospective and continuous improvement event. Please join us in service to the local Agile community. AgilePDX can be the best user group EVER!</p>

I have teamed up with ISITE DESIGN and people from Silicon Valley to bring experts from the Agile Community to speak on topics ranging from Innovation to Enterprise Agile Transformation. We have speakers lined up from PayPal, Twitter, Ebay, Cisco, Apple, Visa, Walmart.com, Macys.com, etc.</p>
<p>These meetings will be monthly - happening on the last Thursday of every month at ISITE Design in NW Portland. To make the it even more interesting, we will have networking, food, and wine/beer the first hour, followed by the speaker for the 2nd hour, and then wrap up for the last 30 minutes. And the events will be FREE!</p>
<p>So, hope you can join us and make 2014 a Success for the Agile community in Portland. Speaker details to follow soon - check the website!</p>

<div class="description">
<p>Companies who have ‘gone Agile’ often experience several failure modes. We know that Agile brings unprecedented transparency to adopters - but this often exposes organizational dysfunction which has ‘always been there,’ but often neither acknowledged nor addressed. This can result in one of the most disruptive transitions a company can go through. What to do?</p>
<p>-How can we spare ourselves months of what seems like inevitable struggle?
-What have some veteran Agile practitioners learned, and done, to accelerate their transition, and reap the rewards that have eluded others?
-How have they measured success?</p>
<p>Our panel of Product & Development experts will share their experience and strategies, to help you cross this minefield successfully and faster.</p>
<p>Mark Bednarski has worked with iGrafx since 2007, starting in Germany as a Business Process Consultant and Six-Sigma Black Belt. He transitioned into Product Management in October 2013 when he transferred to iGrafx headquarters in Tualatin, OR. iGrafx goal - to reduce the release cycle from 18 mos. to 6 mos. - required major changes in both Dev & PM processes, which Mark will lead to completion by the end of this year. This goal screamed for an Agile approach, causing Mark to learn and discover on his own – a tough learning curve, which started to pay back just a few months ago.</p>
<p>Tony Aiello has spent 20 years in machine vision / factory automation engineering, and 5 years in the movie business. He's regularly intrigued by how much these disciplines actually have in common from development / production viewpoints, and gratified that the skills are transferable.</p>
<p>We will confirm the remaining two panelists early next week.</p>

<p>2016? Agile? Like to prognosticate, expound or listen intently? We're there for you.</p>
<p>(Did you miss the last one due to some unfortunately hyper-confusing instructions? Ahem. That organizer has been taken out to the back shed for re-education. Let's do this right.)</p>
<p>We'll meet at 5pm, spend a few minutes gathering ideas and drinks, then roll right into the smooth easy cadence of lively discussion.</p>
<p>Details on how Lean Coffee works are on the meetup site.</p>

<p>Level up your skills, network with peers, and learn to accelerate stakeholder value delivery with this unique workshop from nuCognitive.</p>
<p>The first Agile principle is "Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software." However, in practice this does not seem to be true nearly as often as it should be. Teams often fail to provide early, frequent delivery of stakeholder value. Instead, they focused on spikes, class libraries, infrastructure, and other inward-focused work, without an understanding of their stakeholders and what they value. As a result, many teams start with what is most familiar, easiest, or most convenient for them rather than what stakeholders value most.</p>
<p>Why do teams often become focused on (or even obsessed with) feature development and maximizing development velocity? Without explicit focus on value, the association between velocity, feature development, and value-delivery is weak - perhaps even non-existent. At best, these projects are conducted sub-optimally. Frequently, they fail when stakeholders remove funding because they perceive a lack of value add.</p>
<p>Value-driven delivery is achieved using the answers to three simple, but not at all easy, questions:
1. Who are your stakeholders?
2. What do they value?
3. What are you doing in the next two weeks or less to provide value to them?</p>
<p>Teams often have many more stakeholders than they first realize. Value-driven Delivery ensures those stakeholders are made explicit, and that the list of stakeholders is kept current throughout the project.</p>
<p>Value-driven delivery captures and maintains stakeholder values in a quantified, verifiable way. This ensures that teams can know the real effects of each stakeholder value delivery, and prevents work based on an outdated understanding of value.</p>
<p>Value-driven Delivery also challenges teams to sequence deliveries so that they deliver the most valuable things first. This can have tremendous benefits, generating early business results and reducing the time required for the team to get into a positive Return on Investment for the project.</p>
<p>Value-driven delivery makes a natural overlay for Scrum, but does not require Scrum's use to be effective. Value-driven delivery does not ignore features and velocity, but it explicitly places value delivery above those things as the top priority.</p>
<p>Two other advantages to Value-driven Delivery worth mentioning: First, it is not limited to software, but applies to all aspects of an organization, including the executive suite, human resources, finance, IT, and product teams. Second, it is not focused on or limited to any particular scale. In fact, it is scale-free, working on small teams and teams of more than 500 engineers in a 100K-person company.</p>
<p>Learning Outcomes:
-The definition and nature of value
-The principles and practices of Value-driven Delivery
-How to use Evolutionary Delivery to manage value-driven work, alone or in concert with Scrum
-Fundamentals of several disciplines and models that aid value-driven work, including the Kano Model, elements from Diffusion of Innovations, UX Proof Points, and the HEART Framework
-Attendees will gain enough understanding to begin using Value-driven Delivery in their own work if they desire.
-Additional sources of information will be provided for continued learning.</p>
<p>Who should attend:
Product management, product owners, product developers, service designers, architects, product managers, engineers, business development, business strategy, marketing, planners, project managers, software developers</p>

<p>Abstract:
Lean is an interactive theorem prover and functional programming language. Lean implements a version of the Calculus of Inductive Constructions. Its elaborator and unification algorithms are designed around the use of type classes, which support algebraic reasoning, programming abstractions, and other generally useful means of expression. Lean has parallel compilation and checking of proofs, and provides a server mode that supports a continuous compilation and rich user interaction in editing environments such as Visual Studio Code, Monaco, Emacs, and Vim. In the first part of this talk, we provide a short introduction to Lean, its applications, and its metaprogramming framework. We also describe how this framework extends Lean’s object language with an API to many of Lean’s internal structures and procedures, and provides ways of reflecting object-level expressions into the metalanguage. We provide evidence to show that our implementation is efficient, and that it provides a convenient and flexible way of writing not only metaprograms and small-scale interactive tactics, but also more substantial kinds of automation. In the second part, we describe our plans for the system, and what we are currently working on.</p>
<p>More information about Lean can be found at <a href="http://leanprover.github.io">http://leanprover.github.io</a>. The interactive book “Theorem Proving in Lean” is the standard reference for Lean. The book is available in PDF and HTML formats. In the HTML version, all examples and exercises can be executed in the reader’s web browser.</p>
<p>Bio:
I’m a Principal Researcher in the RiSE group at Microsoft Research. I joined Microsoft in 2006, before that I was a Computer Scientist at SRI International. I obtained my PhD at PUC-Rio in 2000. My research areas are automated reasoning, theorem proving, decision procedures, SAT and SMT. I’m the main architect of Lean, Z3, Yices 1.0 and SAL. Lean is an open source theorem prover and programming language. Sebastian Ullrich and I are currently developing the next version (Lean 4). Z3 and Yices are SMT solvers, and SAL (the Symbolic Analysis Laboratory) is an open source tool suite that includes symbolic and bounded model checkers, and automatic test generators. Z3 has been open sourced (under the MIT license) in the beginning of 2015. I received the Haifa Verification Conference Award in 2010. In 2014, the TACAS conference (Tools and Algorithms for the Construction and Analysis of Systems) has given an award for “The most influential tool paper in the first 20 years of TACAS” to the Z3 paper: Z3: An Efficient SMT Solver. 14th International Conference, TACAS 2008, vol. 4963 of Lecture Notes in Computer Science. In 2015, Z3 received the Programming Languages Software Award from ACM SIGPLAN. In 2017, the International Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE) presented the Skolem Award for my paper “Efficient E-Matching for SMT Solvers” that has passed the test of time, by being a most influential paper in the field. In 2018, the ETAPS conference has given the test of time award to the Z3 paper: Z3: An Efficient SMT Solver.

<p>Have traffic and work schedules prevented you from joining an agile event on a topic which could help you or your teams? Then a virtual "pub lunch" may be the answer!</p>
<p>This agile lunch discussion is a collaborative effort between Seattle and Portland agile minds, and we're hoping it won't stop there. The event is held on a Zoom conference line. We've learned using video is best, and you might consider your environment before joining -- find a quiet space where you won't be interrupted or feel self conscious. We're monitoring chat as a back channel, so if you can't find a spot in the discussion, add your question in chat and our hosts will try to work it in.</p>
<p><strong>Topic:</strong>
Agile thinking: Compare Scrum, Lean, Kanban, XP and any other methodologies you have used. What has worked? What hasn't? Maybe one methodology is better suited for certain situations or work efforts. Or you have seen great success going beyond frameworks and methodologies. Join us and tell us about the spices in your kitchen, and let's compare notes!</p>
<p><strong>Please RSVP at our Meetup event and get the zoom connection info:</strong>

<p>This highly interactive, instructor-led simulation is a high-impact, energetic way to accelerate understanding, involvement, and acceptance of DevOps and Agile, Lean, ITIL® best practice in your organization. It helps accelerate the adoption of DevOps across the enterprise, while successfully turning DevOps opponents into advocates. By helping to clearly communicate the DevOps case for change, it creates shared understanding and commitment towards Development and Operations working together as a high-performing team. This unique experiential learning approach causes breakthrough understanding and transforms learning into an engaging, fun, and memorable shared experience.</p>
<p>HOW IT WORKS</p>
<p>The DevOps simulation experience is a role-based workshop, focused on the software development and deployment lifecycle. The simulation is highly realistic, and leverages game dynamics to empower cross-functional teams with a shared vision of successful DevOps practices. Participants from a variety of disciplines are immersed into a simulated environment whereby they are challenged to release new products while internal and external forces continually change. This realistic approach delivers a level of tension and excitement that creates an ‘A-HA!’ moment for all involved.</p>
<p>WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE</p>
<p>Accelerated understanding of the benefits of DevOps best practice to large audiences</p>
<p>Rapid familiarization with DevOps terminology and Agile, Lean and ITIL v3 processes</p>
<p>Understanding of how DevOps best practice can facilitate alignment of IT to business objectives</p>
<p>Understanding of DevOps practices that can be executed with immediate effect</p>
