Requirements Engineering - The need for a solution - Marcel OvereemVisure Solutions
The document discusses requirements management best practices. It begins by introducing the speaker and their background. It then outlines some of the key problems with current requirements practices, namely that requirements are often an afterthought and not managed throughout their lifecycle. This leads to high rework costs when problems are found later in the development process. The document recommends taking a lifecycle approach to requirements management where requirements are gathered, specified, tracked and reused across multiple projects over time. It also suggests the need for centralized storage and version control of requirements to support this. Finally, it provides some best practices for organizing requirements according to system architecture and standards.

Agile Business Day 2020 - Refinement- Unlock the full potential of your refi...Derk-Jan de Grood
Good refinement makes development more predictable, leads to better solutions and enables the Product Owner to set the right priorities. Still many teams fail to unlock the full potential of refinement. Join this session to get practical tips to get more out of your refinement sessions.I have guided many teams during their transition toward Agile. Initially most attention went to the ceremonies and understanding the agile values. Experience taught me that when the team gets up to speed refinement becomes a bottleneck. Crucial because good refinement makes development more predictable, leads to better solutions and enables the Product Owner to set the right priorities.Unfortunately, I see many teams that do not unlock the full potential of refinement. Not only is the time spent on refinement often limited, many of the refinement meetings I join are inefficient. I meet teams that spent half the meeting watching the Product Owner entering the new backlog items in the workflow system. Although they poker the user stories afterwards, little time is left to discussions the best solution and risks that need to be avoided.In this talk I will focus on the following topics• Advantages of good refinement and what I see in daily practise• How we can boost the potential of Refinement by organising it as a process rather than a meeting• Introduction of challenging questions that can be used to prepare your refinement• And last but not least, how you can involve the off-site team members of distributed teamsJoin this session if you are an Agile Coach of SM and want to help your team(s) to get more out of refinement. If you are a PO and feel a need to boost quality and predictability, or if you are a member of a distributed team and want to involve your fellow team members making better solutions.

Mitigating the Impact of State Management in Cloud Stream Processing SystemsScyllaDB
Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states.
In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing.
Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.

12. Next steps
OpenERP suggested approach
• Software Assessment done
1
• Professional Analysis
2 No free pre sales
• Implementation
3
Free Billed Billed but deducted from the
implementation quote
13. Why selling a pre analysis ?
• If you succeed, you exclude competitors
• It limits the risk of irrelevant project cost estimation
• It builds up intimacy and trust with the customer, leading to
higher implementation quotes
• We are cheaper than the competitors as there is no license costs
but we don’t offer free services
14. When to sell the pre-analysis?
Only once the customer is excited and convinced by
the product
Even if he is still assessing competitors solutions
16. Engage us in your sales visits !
• introduce us to your prospect
• Contact builds trust
• We can help selling the pre-analysis and the
Enterprise contract
17. Build a long term vision
Avoid the one shot
Trigger a reflection on their 2y-3y business
initiatives
Sell a roadmap
20. Subcontract to avoid bottlenecks
Don’t be slowed down by a lack of resources. We can help you
deliver successfully.
