2009 06 01 The Lean Startup Texas EditionEric Ries
The document discusses the Lean Startup methodology for building startups. It begins by noting that most startups fail and proposes that this failure rate can be improved. It then contrasts two approaches to starting a company: 1) developing a detailed plan and building a large platform before customer feedback, which often leads to failure, and 2) rapidly getting a minimum viable product to customers and iterating based on learning, which has a higher success rate. The document outlines several Lean Startup techniques for achieving this rapid customer feedback loop, including continuous deployment, A/B testing, and the "Five Whys" root cause analysis method. It argues that the Lean Startup approach allows companies to develop and validate ideas more
The document discusses the Lean Startup methodology presented by Eric Ries. It outlines that most startups fail due to assumptions that customers wants are known and the future can be accurately predicted. The Lean Startup approach advocates rapid iteration and experimentation through continuous deployment, A/B testing, and analyzing metrics to validate hypotheses rather than executing a predetermined plan. Continuous learning about customers is prioritized over advancing a static plan to reduce the risks of extreme uncertainty that startups face.

Enter Product Engineering!
1. Business value engineering (BVE) aims to continuously deliver more business value to customers through incremental improvements. It takes a learning approach focused on understanding customer needs.
2. Agile specifications provide just enough documentation for developers to implement user stories, typically being developed for one or a few user stories at a time. The content is determined by the team and improves over time based on feedback.
3. BVE and agile specifications work together when product owners work with stakeholders to develop specifications in sprints before stories, ensuring developers understand needs while avoiding unnecessary documentation. Continuous feedback improves the process.
Recent webinar presentation by Jama Software and Ravenflow on the State of Requirements Management. This presentation shared the findings from an industry survey and report on the latest trends, challenges and techniques that teams are using to plan and develop new software products and systems.
As Agile become mainstream increasingly organizations are looking to double down on the role of the Product Owner encouraging them to manage the intersection between technology and the business. But Product Ownership is a difficult role as it tries to balance the needs of the business with the reality of software delivery. Also, for many organizations there is some ‘confusion’ with existing roles of business analyst, product manager or even project manager. What does the product owner do anyway?
In this talk Dave West, Product Owner and CEO Scrum.org, the home of Scrum and Professional Scrum Trainer with Prowareness Rob van Lanen describe the genesis of the Product Owner role and how many organizations are dealing with the challenges of slotting this key role into existing product, project and release roles. They will introduce some techniques such as user centric design, and hypophysis based development and describe how approaches such as Lean Startup and pragmatic marketing are providing product owners with a tool box to do their job.

The document provides guidance on building quality into software development through defect prevention rather than defect removal. It discusses how the best companies aim to freeze code and test within 10% of the release cycle, rather than leaving 30-50% for "hardening". An effective process matches tests to specifications and code, rather than introducing defects first. It also advocates optimizing throughput over utilization by limiting work, leveling the workload, and shortening deployment cycles.
Case Study: Outsourcing in hybrid model Krish Singh
This case study is about Entellects' capabilities for software services. Entellects has expertise in not only software services but we can also outsource personnel software resources for IT and non-IT companies based on our clients requirements.
The document discusses the evolution of agile development approaches over time from a contract focus to a development focus and now toward a customer focus. It notes agile has reached an "inflection point" where the focus has shifted from processes to interactions and working software, and now toward customer collaboration and initiating change. The document advocates for approaches like validated learning and customer discovery to ensure development focuses on building the right solution to meet customer needs.
The document discusses several agile software development methodologies: Agile Unified Process (AUP), Crystal Clear, Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Extreme Programming (XP), Feature Driven Development (FDD), and Scrum. For each methodology, the document outlines key characteristics, techniques, activities, principles, phases, and in some cases strengths and weaknesses. The overall objective is to understand the uniqueness of agile methods and compare different approaches.

An Introduction to Evaluation in Medical VisualizationNoeska Smit
Slides for my presentation at EuroRV3 2016
Paper: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/303080505_An_Introduction_to_Evaluation_in_Medical_Visualization
Abstract:
Medical visualization papers often deal with data that is interpreted by medical domain experts in a research or clinical context. Since visualizations are by definition designed to be interpreted by a human observer, often an evaluation is performed to confirm the utility of a presented method. The exact type of evaluation required is not always clear, especially to new researchers. With this paper, we hope to clarify the different types of evaluation methods that exist and provide practical guidelines to choose the most suitable evaluation method to increase the value of the work.

Quality Patents: Patents That Stand the Test of TimeAurora Consulting
Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality.
Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality.
Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank?
** Episode Overview **
In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss:
⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality?
⦿ Why is patent quality important?
⦿ How to balance quality and budget
⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise
⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications
