Viacheslav Kravchuk. Working as a distributed company. Our journey. Meet Magento Spain

Arello Mobile and Pushwoosh are two sister companies based in Novosibirsk in Siberia, Russia. 3 years ago, the workplace was stressful and the days very long. Managers and clients were constantly fighting, while teams failed to meet delivery dates. We chose to pursue Kanban to address these challenges. Adoption at Arello was relatively easy and the maturity of the implementation is now quite deep. Pushwoosh has been another story. There was skepticism and resistance. This talk describes in detail what has been achieved at Arello, a mobile application development company of around 50 people, and contrasts it with the challenges at Pushwoosh, a push notification service with a similar number of staff. Both companies have the same owners and share some common staff and resources, however, cultural reaction to Kanban was very different. Some of the latest Kanban coaching concepts including use of the Kanban Maturity Model are now being applied at Pushwoosh. There are indications this measured and thoughtful approach is likely to succeed.

This document discusses DevOps, which aims to improve collaboration between software development (Dev) and IT operations (Ops) teams. It notes the benefits of Agile software development and continuous delivery.

DevOps aims to improve collaboration between development and operations teams. It values individuals, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change over processes and documentation. Case studies show DevOps allows for more frequent software releases with less people, improved predictability, innovation, and focus on building features rather than delivering them. Key benefits are cost reduction, removing waste, and competitive advantage from faster time to market. Cultural change takes time but starting with influential people, identifying problems, and running safe experiments can help organizations adopt DevOps practices.

Final version Presented by Simon Murray, Founder @Your Maintenance Coach Ultimately the value of any trainer, coach, or leader is in their ability to deliver fully implemented projects on time to budget. So many things in our modern world make this a real challenge; from remote teams to disengaged staff and conflicting priorities, there are obstacles every step of the way. In this session, Simon will share his learnings from adopting a 6 week project cycle in both his own business and with clients. This cycle has led to a massive increase in team engagement and also a surprising rise in completed works. In addition to sharing the results, Simon will walk attendees through all of the steps and templates that he has adapted from the software development industry to better support the CI program in any organization.

- Agile practices originated from lean manufacturing and were adapted for software development, becoming known as Agile software development. Some practices like stand-up meetings, retrospectives, and work-in-progress limits have been adopted outside of software as well. - Case studies show that elements of Agile have been successfully applied in various non-software domains like legal teams, education, marketing, and strategy development. However, not all Agile practices directly translate and new practices may need to be developed for different fields. - While there are still relatively few case studies of Agile outside of software, the principles of Agile can work for other domains if adapted appropriately for the context. Organizations should consider which Agile practices

Presentation made during the 2017 Gatineau-Ottawa Agile Tour by Nicolas Mercier and Frédéric Paquet. Portfolio management is a key aspect of organizational performance. The ability to visualize upcoming projects, projects in progress, the process of value creation, the dependencies, the ability to share a common vision and to throttle the work in progress based on organizational capacity are all contributing elements to the effectiveness of an organization. Unfortunately, the shared vision of a portfolio is too often buried in a tool shared with too few people and does not help the organization build a global and cohesive plan of action. But when we think about it... Value chain, limiting work in progress, transparency, flow... have you ever thought about using Kanban for portfolio management? Seems like a great idea! Create alignment around what delivers value to your end-users, use cadence to move forward, help shape a new organizational culture, support innovation, continuous improvement, and leadership and unite people around a shared mission, that is what Kanban at the strategic level can bring.

The document discusses an IT assessment that evaluates an organization's network infrastructure, security, disaster recovery, and budget. It explains that an assessment helps plan for future upgrades, new technologies, improved processes, and potential staff or technology changes. The assessment is meant to coach and advise an organization, not threaten IT staff. Consultants will provide recommendations and expertise from other similar organizations without acting as stock brokers. The assessment also tests network security, backups, compliance, and reviews how well the existing IT systems support the organization.

The document discusses how conducting an ethnography study saved time and money for a project to redesign a call center application. It describes how the initial design was developed without ethnography and had to be reworked after usability issues were discovered. An ethnography was then conducted, observing over 100 customer service representatives. This led to design improvements that reduced average call times by 3 minutes, saving the company $48 million per year. While the ethnography cost $27,000, it provided a high return on investment by avoiding redesign costs and increasing efficiency. The document advocates for using ethnography and quantifying benefits to gain support from business stakeholders.

Luke Closs discussed how open data can enable sustainable innovation. He provided five lessons: (1) cities miss out on small, cheap innovations that citizens create; (2) small hacks can lead to big products and services, as demonstrated by the evolution of his VanTrash app into the Recollect platform; (3) open data makes municipalities low-hanging fruit for companies and innovators; (4) small communities greatly benefit from releasing open data to lower barriers for outsiders; and (5) lack of standards limits investment in innovations as solutions cannot easily scale or spread between locations. He argued that open data allows new services at lower costs, improving lives and enabling competition.
