Two local experts\, Mark Knell and Marty Nelson will preview their proposed talks for Agile 2011. They will discuss applying TDD at new scales: in the micro\, with assertions driving the composition of te sts\, and in the macro\, with confirmational aspects of features driving the communication of vision and intent \;\n \;\nMark's Talk: \;\n \;\nMost tests follow an arrange/act/assert pattern that dates b ack to the earliest days of xUnit. A bowling test might set up a new fra me\, roll a ball\, and expect that if no pins are left standing\, the sc ore will be a strike. But this test also passes if there were never any pins set up in the first place. Difference-Asserting Fluent Tests use a DSL to close this and several other loopholes in NUnit and MSTest asse rtions\, while letting you keep those tools in place. You've heard of s yntactic sugar? This is syntactic caulk. And more. \;\n \;\nMark Knell is a developer and Agile coach working in Portland. He has a mas ter's degree from Harvard University Extension. \;\n \;\nMarty's t alk: \;\n \;\nWe all hope that our software will satisfy the goals and desires of our users and customers. Yet most development starts by focusing on features as a mechanism to achieve an outcome\, rather than creating something demonstrable that will confirm that the vision and in tent has been achieved. What if these confirmational and functional aspe cts were really two sides of the same feature that could be exploited to develop features in a test-driven manner? Feature TDD is a technique th at does just that: create confirmational aspects that clearly establish desired outcomes and then use those to test-drive the functional mechani sm that is the focus of traditional software development. \;\n \; \nMarty Nelson is the Head of Architecture at Accelrys\, Inc.\, an ISV o ffering Enterprise Lab Management solutions that serve a rapidly changin g pharmaceutical and scientific R&\;D industry. Marty has been practi cing agile development since 2003 and has taken a keen interested in the last couple of years in the architectural and organizational applicatio n of agile values and principals. \;\n \;\nThis event is free and is at our new location\, Puppet Labs.

Jim McCarthy\, who led the legendary turnaround of the Vis ual C++ group at Microsoft\, left Microsoft in 1996 to create a team dyn amics laboratory to figure out how to always create a create a high perf ormance team. \;\n \;\nThe McCarthy lab has focused extensively o n this challenge\, and has produced 11 rich\, precise protocols (called the Core) for making unanimous decisions\, supporting quality thinking\, strengthening design iterations\, and incorporating feedback\, emotions \, nobility\, and passion into products. \;\n \;\nLearn about the se protocols in this motivating\, challenging talk. In just a few minute s\, you can pick up the fundamentals of an entirely new class of tool. & #13\;\n \;\n• Do you notice too much discussion and arguing and would prefer the best ideas would just get implemented now? –Learn about the Decider Protocol which guarantees unanimous team decisions with accounta bility and moves the team forward with a bias toward action. \;\n 3\;\n• Do you accept that it is vitally important that you get the opini ons of others about the quality of work products but notice that it is c onsistently painful to give and receive feedback? – Learn about the Perf ection Protocol which solves all the problems associated with criticism. \;\n \;\n• Do you notice that dumb things consistently happen on your team and everyone seems to lack self-awareness to some degree\, in cluding you? – Learn about the Core Commitments which provide a team con stitution about commitment and accountability to the team. And learn abo ut the Personal Alignment Protocol which allows each team member to addr ess self-awareness around courage\, integrity\, passion and other virtuo us behaviors. \;\n \;\nThis event is free and is at our new locat ion\, Puppet Labs.

From diagnosis through prescription\, co nvalescence\, and recovery to eventual triumph and the acceptance of a n ew 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 accelerati ng 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 e nterprise level to the sound of cheering business managers. \;\n 3\;\nOur speaker is Adam Light\, Ph.D. Adam is a Management Consultant a nd Principal at SoTech Advisors (www.sotechadvisors.com) where he plans and executes successful projects and builds work systems that deliver on client goals. \;\n \;\nAdam has more than fifteen years’ experie nce designing and developing business applications from shrink-wrapped s oftware to real-time information services in domains from natural resour ces management to supply chain optimization. \;\n \;\nAs a planni ng and program management leader\, Adam has worked with as few as three and as many as twenty teams\, using Agile methods and critical chain tec hniques to turn around failing projects\, revive ailing organizations\, and redesign application delivery at the enterprise scale. His broad per spective and deep experience enable him to rapidly deliver return on inv estment from large projects. \;\n \;\nThis event is free and is a t our new location\, Puppet Labs. It begins at 6:30 pm with pizza\, spo nsored by PNSQC (Many thanks to both Puppet Labs and PNSQC for supportin g agile in Portland). \;\n \;\nThe program starts at 7:00 pm. \;\n \;\nAfter the program you're invited to join us for a no-host ga thering at a nearby brewpub for further discussion. \;\n\n\nTags: ag ile\, lean\, agilepdx\, scrum\, software\, software development\n\nImpor ted from: http://calagator.org/events/1250460694 URL:http://agilepdx.org SUMMARY:Value-first in the nick of time: Agile Methods and Lean Program M anagement LOCATION:Puppet Labs on NW Park (old office): 411 NW Park Ave.\, Suite 50 0\, Portland Oregon 97209 US SEQUENCE:2 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT CREATED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110411T183150Z DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110620T210000 DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110620T190000 DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110411T183150Z LAST-MODIFIED;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20110613T171727Z UID:http://calagator.org/events/1250460470 DESCRIPTION:UPDATE: We're not meeting this month.

Goad Testing ta kes you a level deeper\, examining what tests really are and using the o utcome of that exercise to derive new ways of keeping software - both pr oduction and test - healthy\, flexible\, and on-specification. Making di stinctions is a critical aspect of a test: It allows a test to serve as an executable specification. Sometimes this ability is lost in the cours e of maintenance. Goad testing is a way to prevent that from happening w ithout introducing significant extra work or complexity. \;\n \;\n About Max Guernsey III\, Hexagon Software LLC: \;\nI’ve been in the s oftware development industry for over ten years.

It is disruptive\, complicated\, and very expensive. It brings organization al dysfunction to the surface and shines a bright light on business prac tices that sabotage teams and fail to deliver value to clients. Further\ , unwitting teams may adopt a version of Agile that becomes dogmatic\, i nflexible\, and interested in perpetuating the "\;process” of Agile rather than being\, well\, agile. The only thing worse than bringing Agi le in\, is trying to get Agile right. \;\n \;\nThat said\, everyon e should be using Agile. This presentation will explore ways to bring Ag ile into an organization\, how to choose the right "\;flavor” of Agi le\, and what to do when it goes badly – because it will. This presentat ion will also examine how to expand the Agile conversation from within t he software development team\, outward to internal stakeholders\, and ev entually into client engagements. \;\n \;\nDetails and Pizza: \ ;\n \;\nThis event is free and is at Puppet Labs.
