PGE’s IT uses these to support six internal lines of business with their project and production suppor t needs. PGE started the agile journey in 2009 in aid of a large scale m ulti-project initiative to roll-out network read meters for our customer s. Over the subsequent three and half years\, that experience was extend ed into where PGE’s IT delivery is today. Scaling to the enterprise requ ired the synthesis of many different viewpoints\, overcoming the deficie ncies of agile training as applied in larger circumstances\, and fabrica ting new processes and tools to enhance and manage the value of delivery . During this talk Mark will share highlights of what was valuable\, wha t was a struggle\, what he would do the same if starting over\, and what he would do differently. \;\n \;\nBio: \;\nMark Menger is a p assionate leader in the adoption of Scrum at Portland General Electric\, believing strongly in the underpinning concepts of servant leadership a nd self-organization. He led four Scrum teams and the enterprise archite cture function of PGE’s multi-million dollar Automated Metering Infrastr ucture initiative. As the supervisor of Application Delivery Services\, he is currently scaling PGE’s adoption of Agile software delivery to 14 teams across six business client functions. This effort includes busines s client relationship development\, and improvements in quality assuranc e and engineering practices. When he’s not rooting for the Timbers\, the remainder of his attention is focused on Sailflow reports for the Colum bia and Willamette rivers.\n\nTags: agile\, software development\, agile adoption\, beaverton\, it\, agilepdx\, Information Technology\, Aloha\n \nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250463013 URL:http://agilepdx.org SUMMARY:AgilePDX Westside (morning) - Mark Menger "The Agile journey at P GE" LOCATION:Nike World Headquarters: 1 Bowerman Dr\, Beaverton OR US SEQUENCE:4 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120719T223023Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121119T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20121119T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120719T223023Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20120719T223023Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250462624 DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE GROUP: pdxdevops is a Portland\, Oregon user group that explores the glorious intersection of software development and syst ems operations\, and shares practical advice on working effectively in a n era of agile infrastructure\, server automation and cloud computing.

Yet object-oriented development princip les and TDD have failed to gain traction in the database world. That’s b ecause database development involves an additional driving force—the dat a. \;\n \;\nMax Guernsey shows how to treat databases as objects with classes of their own—rather than as containers of objects—and how t o drive database designs from tests. He illustrates a way to give these database classes the ability to upgrade old data without introducing und ue risk. Max also shares how to apply good object-oriented design princi ples to database classes and how to enforce semantic connections between databases and clients. Max demonstrates how it all works together\, ens uring that your production databases work exactly the same as test datab ases\, minimizing the risk of design changes\, and enabling client appli cations to more easily keep up with database changes. \;\n \;\nCom e for pizza &\; networking from 6:30pm. The program starts at 7:00 pm . \;\n \;\n__Speaker Bio__ \;\nMax Guernsey is currently a Man aging Member at Hexagon Software LLC. He has 15 years of experience as a professional software developer. For nearly half that time\, he has bee n blogging\, writing\, and delivering lectures on the topic of agile and test-driven database development. For much of Max’s professional career \, he has been a consultant\, advising a variety of software companies i n many different industries using multiple programming and database tech nologies. In most of these engagements\, he spent months or even years h elping teams implement cutting-edge techniques such as test-driven devel opment\, object-oriented design\, acceptance-test-driven development\, a nd agile planning. \;\n \;\nMax has always been a “hands-on” consu ltant\, working with teams for long periods of time to help them build b oth software and skills. This series of diverse\, yet deep\, engagements helped him gain a unique understanding of the database-related testing and design problems that impede most agile teams. Since 2005\, he has be en thinking\, writing\, blogging\, lecturing\, and creating developer-fa cing software dedicated to resolving these issues. \;\n \;\nMax po sts regularly on his Twitter account (@MaxGuernseyIII) and his blog (max g3prog.blogspot.com).\n\nTags: agile\, software development\, tdd\, pear l\, it\, agilepdx\, Information Technology\, Portland downtown\n\nImport ed from: http://calagator.org/events/1250463707 URL:http://agilepdx.org SUMMARY:Agile PDX presents Max Guernsey\, "Test-Driven Database Developme nt" LOCATION:Puppet: 308 SW 2nd Ave Fifth Floor\, Portland OR 97204 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130405T131130Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130409T090000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130409T074500 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130405T131130Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130405T131219Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250463968 DESCRIPTION:Agile Portfolio Management – From the Lean Startup Perspectiv e \;\n \;\nWe will discuss\, in an open forum\, ways of identifyin g critical information such as product vision\, possible risks\, technol ogy solutions\, and key project metrics\, in a way that utilizes the min imum amount of time in the predevelopment period of the project. \;\ n \;\nA focus will be placed on practical group exercises and researc h techniques for gaining the critical information needed to start a proj ect and build the initial backlog.\n\nTags: agile\, software development \, agile adoption\, beaverton\, it\, agilepdx\, Information Technology\, Aloha\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250463968 URL:http://agilepdx.org SUMMARY:AgilePDX Westside (morning) - Agile Portfolio Management – From f rom the Lean startup perspective LOCATION:Nike World Headquarters: 1 Bowerman Dr\, Beaverton OR US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130402T174300Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130415T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130415T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130402T174300Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130415T152706Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250463951 DESCRIPTION:[This meeting will be held on 04-22](http://calagator.org/eve nts/1250464051)\n\nTags: puppet\, automation\, it\, devops\, pdxdevops\, system administration\, chef\, automateit\, server automation\, epdx:gr oup=21\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250463951 URL:http://pdxdevops.org/ SUMMARY:[POSTPONED to 4-22] pdxdevops: Portland DevOps user group meeting LOCATION:Elemental Technologies: 225 SW Broadway\, Suite 600\, Portland O R 97205 US SEQUENCE:3 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130402T175415Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130417T201500 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130417T183000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130402T175415Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20130402T175415Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250463952 DESCRIPTION:What do a 17th century painter’s workshop\, an international photographic cooperative\, and an early 20th century design house have i n common with a modern software development team?

The NEAT web portal simplifies and guides the creation of otherwise complex scri pts through the use of an intuitive user interface that manages a web el ement object repository\, test case input data\, and test scripts. This approach is intended to enable test script automation to be completed in hours or days instead of weeks or months. The motivation behind NEAT is to equip business analysts\, without automation expertise\, with an int uitive tool to create and execute sophisticated\, automated end-to-end t esting scripts. This framework enables teams to increase automated test coverage and allows the highly skilled automation developers to focus on more complex automation testing needs of the organization. \;\n \ ;\nAbout Our Speaker: Loren J. Brown is a Test Automation Architect and owner of Quantum Peg\, Inc. He is currently teaming up with John Cvetko from TEK Associates to develop the DEAP testing tool.

Additional benefits will be discussed\, like the ability to change the Automation Technology without rebuilding all your tests. \;\n \; \nThese concepts will work with 3rd party automation products like QTP a s well as homegrown frameworks.

It suggests an activity aimed at eliciting meaning… \;\n \;\nThe Greeks introduced the idea that individuals are not intellig ent on their own\, that it's only by reasoning together that they are ab le to uncover the truth for themselves. …By questioning and probing each other\, carefully dissecting and analyzing ideas\, finding the inconsis tencies\, never attacking or insulting but always searching for what the y can accept between them\, they can gradually attain deeper understandi ng and insight. \;\n \;\nThe role of QA is often seen as one that only reports negatively on the work of others: “…found a bug with your code”\; “…the way you designed this isn’t good for the end user”\; “…You never include requirements in your stories…and when you do\, they lack sufficient details.” \;\n \;\nThe importance of True Dialogue is that it allows positive reactions and outcomes\, from negative input…whe n done well\, the benefits can be extraordinary! \;\n \;\nAbout ou r speaker: Joe Famme is a Quality Minded individual\, who’s been helping to improve the quality of his teams\, and the software they work on\, f or over 20 years. He started in phone support with WordPerfect\, in the early nineties. After about a year and a half of that…and the release of Windows 3.0…he discovered the world of QA\, and has never looked back.& #13\;\n \;\nBesides WordPerfect\, Joe’s also worked for internationa lly known companies Novell\, Corel\, Intel\, and Sage. \;\n \;\nJ oe’s been working in the Portland Tech Community since 1996.

And\, Joe’s been part of the SQAUG organization si nce before it became a public group. \;\n \;\nIn all of his years of being part of the Quality Assurance field\, he has found that the qu est for the mastery of effective communication and true dialogue has bee n a key element to success.

In the era of agile IT\, the infrastructure is only as nimble as the least agile component and that typically is the network. The challenge of creating agile systems on legacy networks is compounded by the constraints of legacy acquisition models and accounti ng methods which force IT to estimate the future needs of the business i n 3 to 5 year intervals. Finance should be an enabler to creating agile IT systems that deliver the most value to the organization by ensuring the network’s capability matches the immediate needs of the business wit hout network resources sitting idle or being overly constrained due to p oor planning. \;\nPlease join us for a webinar hosted by Greg Buchana n\, Sr. Manager in Brocade’s office of the CFO\; and David Aden\, Territ ory Manager for Oregon and SW Washington at Brocade\, to discuss how bus inesses can better equip Finance to help IT meet the demands of the New IP.\n\nTags: it\, finance\n\nImported from: http://calagator.org/events/ 1250470679 URL:http://www.xiologix.com/webinar-agilefinanceforagileit/ SUMMARY:Agile Finance for Agile IT ------ Webinar: 8/25/2016 LOCATION:Online Webinar: false SEQUENCE:1 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160903T000020Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160914T093000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160914T073000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160903T000020Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20160903T000020Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250470757 DESCRIPTION:If you use technology in your day to day operations (and who doesn't)\, join us on the morning of Wednesday\, September 14th for our third of four events on mitigating the risks of business impacts through cybersecurity.

How can you go wrong? \;\n \;\nSpeaker Topics: \;\n \;\nMotorcy cles and the art of risk-taking as an Auditor: \;\nNavigating the tw ists and turns of your career can be both crushing\, dizzying\, and yes beautiful. Make bad choices and you could deal with years of regret. Acc epting unplanned route changes can be very tough\, hard on the ego\, and downright scary. The trek of the last 10 years or so took my family thr ough losing loved ones\, a layoff from a bailout company (yes one of the ones who went to DC in a private jet to ask for money)\, income reducti ons\, grad school\, and being open to interesting opportunities that hav e taken me around the world. Luckily\, I have the support of my wife and partner and together we've worked through many challenges in our lives together\, as a team. Through relentless support and sometimes brute for ce\, we've navigated bumps in the road and found balance by getting more comfortable with ambiguity and risk. I'd love to share a few minutes of ideas about my journey\, how it changed several times without my consen t\, and offer some ways to think ahead about personal risk taking. \ ;\n \;\nThe Recipe to an Auditor’s Success: \;\nLauren and Taylor will give their perspective of what clients can do to avoid common pitf alls during audit engagements and ways to help your favorite auditors su cceed. \;\n \;\nKeys to a Successful Robotic Process Automation (R PA) Implementation: \;\nImplement the foundational elements to accel erate business performance.
