Rise and fall of Story Points. Capacity based planning from the trenches.
4 likes2,351 views
Люди в мире Agile используют Story Points - для Agile коучей и тренеров это самый простой способ объяснить, как следует проводить оценку и планирование в «новом мире». Но тогда эта простая концепция нарушает реальные практические кейсы. В настоящее время команды состоят из очень специализированных людей, работающих над бэкендом, фронтэндом, тестировании, инфраструктуре и прочим. Для них почти невозможно иметь общий уровень сложности. Это только одна из проблем, которые мы собираемся осветить в этом докладе. Чтобы оставаться конструктивным, а не просто старомодным парнем из XP, Николай поделится своим опытом с более точной и прагматичной техникой оценки/планирования - планированием на основе возможностей.

Comic Agile Volume One_ When ag - Luxshan Ratnaravi.pdfTunde Renner This document provides introductions and forewords to the book "Comic Agilé" which uses comic strips and accompanying advice to educate readers about challenges with implementing agile practices in organizations. The forewords discuss how comics have been used for social and political commentary throughout history and how the characters in these comics reflect archetypes seen in organizations. The introductions explain that the goal of the book is to use "edutainment" through comic strips to both entertain readers and motivate them to make needed changes to fully realize the benefits of agile practices by depicting realities that undermine agility.

Agile metrics and quality
Agile metrics and qualityAnu Khendry,ACC,SAFe Aglst, PMI-ACP,CSPO,PMP The document discusses various agile metrics that can be used to improve quality, shorten product cycle times, decrease costs and risks, and increase predictability. It describes metrics like defects trends, test automation coverage, flow diagrams to measure lead and cycle times, earned value analysis to track costs and wastage. Control limits and variances can be set for work in progress, defects, team size and velocity. The focus should be on analyzing trends rather than individual values to identify special causes of variation and lead indicators.
Agile Metrics: It's Not All That Complicated
Agile Metrics: It's Not All That ComplicatedVersionOne This document discusses agile metrics and reporting. It begins by contrasting traditional metrics like percent complete with agile metrics that focus on whether work is done or not. Key agile metrics include burndowns, velocity, work item counts, team member load, and test reports. These metrics provide transparency and help teams maximize throughput. The document recommends metrics that affirm agile principles and provide data for meaningful conversations rather than just numbers.
凯捷安永 分析及假设
凯捷安永 分析及假设eshen The document discusses structured problem solving and hypothesis generation. It lays out a systematic approach for solving business problems that includes defining the issues, gathering and analyzing data, forming hypotheses, finding insights, developing conclusions and recommendations. It emphasizes the importance of defining the problem clearly and structuring it by breaking it into smaller, more manageable components. Developing good hypotheses is key - they should be targeted, accurate, minimal, actionable and timely. Hypotheses help focus the analysis and ensure an efficient, effective approach.
Agile metrics
Agile metricsAnkit Tandon We are doing Agile well..We have been Agile now.. Is it just an assumption or do we have data to support it? Do metrics add any value or they are just a fad? Good metrics affirm & reinforce Agile principles. They open up the conversation and help the teams to improve. They are not only for management, it is for everyone who wants to inspect and adapt.
So this presentation is about how metrics can be used effectively in Agile to enable transparency and improve the overall efficiency at the team/ program and portfolio level.
Introduction to Scaled Agile Framework SAFe
Introduction to Scaled Agile Framework SAFeJosef Scherer 1. The document discusses the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), a framework for implementing agile practices in large organizations. It describes SAFe's roots in lean thinking and systems management.
2. SAFe is based on the concept of an "Agile Release Train" which coordinates multiple agile teams to deliver value through regular inspection and adaptation cycles. It aims to achieve speed, value and quality at scale through flow, cadence and synchronization.
3. The document outlines key SAFe roles like the Product Manager, Release Train Engineer, System Architect, and System Team which work together using SAFe principles and practices to continuously deliver working solutions.

Five Key Numbers to Gauge your Agile Engineering Efforts
Five Key Numbers to Gauge your Agile Engineering EffortsJeff Nielsen The document discusses five key metrics to measure the effectiveness of agile engineering practices: 1) How long until you see feedback from a test after changing code, 2) How many one-line code changes can be committed and tested in an hour, 3) How many team members can explain parts of the code, 4) What percentage of team members paired in the last two days, and 5) How many steps it takes to get code into production. These metrics help gauge how well practices like test-driven development and continuous integration are flattening the cost of change curve.

Estimating Story Points in Agile - MAGIC Approach
Estimating Story Points in Agile - MAGIC ApproachMarraju Bollapragada V This document discusses techniques for estimating story points in Agile projects. It describes current estimation practices like fixed story pointing based on person hours or days, expert influence, and guestimating. These can lead to inaccurate estimates and not reflect improved productivity over time. The document proposes an approach called MAGIC which uses a story point matrix based on functional and technical analysis to measure and analyze stories, and an empirical data model using historical project data to improve and control estimates. Templates are provided for the story point matrix and empirical data model.
Overview of Agile Methodology
Overview of Agile MethodologyHaresh Karkar This document provides an overview of agile methodology and compares it to traditional waterfall development. It describes waterfall development as a sequential process with distinct phases completed one after another. Agile approaches like Scrum and Kanban are presented as more iterative and adaptive alternatives that focus on delivering working software frequently in short cycles through self-organizing cross-functional teams. Key aspects of Scrum like sprints, daily stand-ups, and product backlogs are defined. Kanban emphasizes visualizing and limiting work in progress to optimize flow. Both aim to incorporate feedback and respond rapidly to changes over rigidly following pre-defined plans.

Building Microservices: Designing Fine-Grained System by Sam Newman
Building Microservices: Designing Fine-Grained System by Sam NewmanIsmail Habib Muhammad Microservices are small, autonomous services that work together to perform specific functions. They are loosely coupled and have high cohesion. Each service should have a bounded context and explicit boundaries to define its responsibilities. Integration between microservices should avoid breaking changes, be technology agnostic, and simple for consumers by hiding internal implementation details. The shared database should be avoided for integration, and REST is recommended for request/response integration over synchronous/asynchronous messaging. Testing should focus on fast feedback through consumer-driven contracts instead of flaky end-to-end tests. The system design will likely reflect the organization's communication structure.

More Than Monitoring: How Observability Takes You From Firefighting to Fire P...
More Than Monitoring: How Observability Takes You From Firefighting to Fire P...DevOps.com For some, observability is just a hollow rebranding of monitoring, for others it’s monitoring on steroids. But what if we told you observability is the new way to find out why—not just if—your distributed system or application isn’t working as expected? Today, we see that traditional monitoring approaches can fall short if a system or application doesn’t adequately externalize its state.
This is truer as workloads move into the cloud and leverage ephemeral technologies, such as microservices and containers. To reach observability, IT and DevOps teams need to correlate different sources from logs, metrics, traces, events and more. This becomes even more challenging when defining the online revenue impact of a failed container—after all, this is what really matters to the business.
This webinar will cover:
The differences between observability and monitoring
Why it is a bigger challenge in a multicloud and containerized world
How observability results in less firefighting and more fire prevention
How new platforms can help gain observability (on premises and in the cloud) for containers, microservices and even SAP or mainframes

XBOSoft and Go2Group run through the top data points you should be measuring in your Agile Workflow. We’ll show you what to track, when and how often, and most importantly – why. Many believe that metrics are useless, but unless you measure, how can you systematically improve or know how you are doing? And with velocity as an overarching objective in agile, you should be tracking other things so that you know what else you could be impacting by going faster. But, with all the metrics so readily available to us today, how do we filter through to the most meaningful?

Microservices: The Right Way
Microservices: The Right WayDaniel Woods This document discusses best practices for building microservices architectures. It begins by noting that there is no single right way to implement microservices and that each domain needs to be considered individually. It then provides guidelines for microservice design, such as having each service perform a single well-defined function. The document also distinguishes between building a platform of collaborating services versus a distributed services layer with more independent services. It offers recommendations for infrastructure, configuration management, documentation, and other considerations for successful microservices implementations.

Agile antipatterns: review after 10 years of practice
Agile antipatterns: review after 10 years of practiceMikalai Alimenkou Вот уже более 10 лет Agile движение шагает по Украине и стучится практически в каждую компанию. Но приносят ли новые процессы, принципы и практики реальную практическую пользу? Получается ли изменить к лучшему команды, проекты, компании? Я в роли консультанта за эти 10 лет поработал с более чем 100 компаниями, поэтому повидал много хорошего и плохого. В данном докладе хочется пробежаться по основным проблемам, сложностям и анти-паттернам в переходе отечественных компаний на "Agile рельсы". Мы рассмотрим какие практики не очень хорошо приживаются, от чего страдает большинство команд, какие основные препятствия встречают на своем пути и как умудряются их обходить. Я надеюсь, доклад поможет зародиться множеству интересных дискуссий.

1.How to Prepare FINAL!Timothy Dietrich The document provides guidance for managers and supervisors on how to prepare for effective coaching sessions. It includes:
1. A checklist of 5 key steps for preparation: creating an agenda, having tools ready, managing time, taking notes, and setting a professional tone.
2. An activity where participants discuss common distractions and ways to address them.
3. An exercise where participants review agent performance data and outline a coaching session.
The goal is for supervisors to show preparation, have a clear purpose in sessions, and develop action plans to improve agent performance. Effective preparation is important for successful coaching.

It defines PI Objectives as summaries of business and technical goals for an Agile Release Train (ART) in an upcoming Program Increment (PI). The document outlines benefits like focus, alignment, and learning. It discusses potential struggles and offers templates to help teams craft clear, measurable objectives. Examples demonstrate how to make objectives specific and focus on user/business impact. Metrics and acceptance criteria are emphasized to evaluate if objectives were achieved. Finally, case studies show potential outcomes with and without proper use of PI Objectives.
Agile Project Management
Agile Project ManagementSinaporn (Pam) Suebvisai The document provides an overview of agile project management principles and techniques, including:
1. Agile focuses on individuals, interactions, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change over rigid processes and contracts.
2. Techniques like user stories, planning poker, prioritization, daily stand-ups, test-driven development, continuous integration, iteration planning and retrospectives help embrace changes and deliver working software frequently.
3. Adopting agile requires starting with easier practices, understanding goals, starting small, and continual improvement through retrospectives to find what works best for each project.

Story points vs hours choose wisely; turn the bane of project estimation into...Katy Slemon The document discusses the traditional method of estimating projects in hours versus the agile estimation method of using story points. It provides details on both methods, including perceived advantages of story points like being more flexible and collaborative. However, it also notes disadvantages like the potential to misunderstand or misuse story points. The company described, Bacancy Technology, prefers to use hours rather than story points for estimation since it is more straightforward and prevents confusion.

2. It provides examples of how Scrum addresses issues with traditional waterfall project management, such as long delivery periods, difficulty incorporating new requirements, and lack of visibility into real progress.
3. Finally, it outlines how to implement Scrum within an organization, including forming cross-functional teams, training, running retrospectives, and improving processes over time.
Backlog Refinement 101 & 202
Backlog Refinement 101 & 202David Hanson Backlog refinement is not a Scrum event, but instead is an ongoing activity during the Sprint required to decompose, describe, estimate, and order backlog items in the Product Backlog.
This material is divided into two sections. The first section reviews the basics of backlog refinement, covering various options for conducting the activity. The second section covers tips for maintaining a healthy backlog and potential anti-patterns.
This material was presented at Agile New England in July and August 2022 as "101" introduction and "202" advanced sessions.

Static analysis tools as the best friend of QA
Static analysis tools as the best friend of QAMikalai Alimenkou We have spent many years testing our applications and systems manually and with test automation tools. During this time many bug root causes have been classified and could be detected automatically with special static analysis tools. Most of them could be applied at the early stages of development even before code is integrated into the main development branch. In this talk, I will go through available solutions and demonstrate what kinds of issues may be detected automatically reducing the time and effort of traditional testing.
Modern CI/CD in the microservices world with Kubernetes
Modern CI/CD in the microservices world with KubernetesMikalai Alimenkou In this talk, we will go through the design process of modern CI/CD for the microservices-based system with Kubernetes support. We will discuss how to verify consistency between microservices, apply different levels of quality gates and promote artifacts between environments. Thanks to Kubernetes we will review different approaches of environment resources optimization for development needs during CI/CD cycles.
Saga about distributed business transactions in microservices world
Saga about distributed business transactions in microservices worldMikalai Alimenkou Most of people nowadays think microservices architecture is a great way to build any system. They visit conference talks, read books and review tutorials, where ‘hello world’ applications are built just in several minutes using microservices approach. But the reality is not so wonderful and one of the biggest pain is hidden inside distributed business transactions. In monolith application this topic is almost completely covered with DB level transactions. In distributed world you have to face many issues trying to implement reliable and consistent business logic.
In this talk we will review different types of problems related to distributed business transactions, popular SAGA pattern, frameworks and techniques to simplify your life without compromising quality of the system.
Effectiveness tips from Kubernetes trenches by Captain Obvious
Effectiveness tips from Kubernetes trenches by Captain ObviousMikalai Alimenkou Nowadays almost everybody knows about Kubernetes, some teams are using it and some are only dreaming about it. Despite the popularity, Kubernetes is not simple and there are so many ways of abuse this peaceful technology. In this talk I would like to present quite obvious set of tips, based on failures and ineffectiveness at different companies I have worked with during last several years.
Ride the database in JUnit tests with Database Rider
Ride the database in JUnit tests with Database RiderMikalai Alimenkou For a long time DB related testing in Java world has been a real pain and most developers tried to reduce number of such tests as much as possible. With good in-memory database implementations like H2, schema migration solutions like Liquibase or Flyway, containerization with libraries like TestContainers, database management is now much simpler. But test data management is still a pain. Some developers use SQL dumps, others insert data via JPA/JDBC or rely on prepared data sets. Good old DBUnit may be a good option, but it is not so developer friendly and not adopted well for modern annotations driven development style. Database Rider closes the gap between modern Java development environment and DBUnit, bringing DBUnit closer to your JUnit tests, so database testing will feel like a breeze. In addition to flexible data sets management this library provides other useful features: programmatic data sets definition, leak hunting, data sets export, constraints management, etc. As contributor and loyal user for many years, I would like to share my experience with Database Rider and demonstrate how to make database testing a fun again!
Wastful waste or why everything is so slow in development
Wastful waste or why everything is so slow in developmentMikalai Alimenkou I think almost everybody experienced cases when things are moving very slowly in IT companies or teams. You have many people, talented engineers, Agile process and development speed is still below expectations. We try to focus on performance and efficiency last 10 years, improving our practices and tools. But we are still there in terms of speed when they are applied to real life cases. How is it possible? In this talk we will review the concept of waste circles and understand what are the main sources of time waste in development process. This concept would help you to check your processess, focus on right things and achieve much better results in your organization or team.
Hexagonal architecture with Spring Boot
Hexagonal architecture with Spring BootMikalai Alimenkou The document discusses implementing a hexagonal architecture and domain-driven design approach with Spring Boot. It promotes starting with use cases and domain context, using entities and value objects to model the domain, and aggregates for complex relationships. It also advocates an ports and adapters approach using Spring Boot modules like Spring MVC, Spring Data, and Spring Messaging to connect business logic to databases, queues, APIs and other external services through adapters. The summary emphasizes changing one's perspective to focus on the business logic and domain model first and using existing Spring Boot features to build the technical implementation around it.

Hexagonal architecture with Spring Boot [EPAM Java online conference]![Hexagonal architecture with Spring Boot [EPAM Java online conference]](https://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/ss_thumbnails/hexagonalarchitecturewithspringboot-180925151506-thumbnail.jpg?width=560&fit=bounds)
Hexagonal architecture with Spring Boot [EPAM Java online conference]Mikalai Alimenkou Nowadays traditional layered monolithic architecture in Java world is not so popular as 5-10 years ago. I remember how we wrote tons of code for each layer repeating almost the same parts for every application. Add unit and integration testing to understand how much time and efforts has been spent on repeatable work. All cool ideas around DDD (domain driven design) and Hexagonal Architecture was just a nice theory because reality hasn’t allow us to implement it easily. Even Dependency Injection with Spring framework was completely focused on traditional layered approach, not even talking about JavaEE platform.
Today we have Spring Boot ecosystem covering most of our needs for integration with almost all possible technologies and microservices architectural trend, enabling completely new approach to build Java applications around domain model. It is so natural to build Java domain-oriented services and connect them with external world using ports and adapters, that Hexagonal Architecture is almost enabled by default. You just need to switch your way of thinking…

Bro, manage test data like a pro! [QA Fest 2018]Mikalai Alimenkou This document provides guidance on effectively managing test data for software testing. It discusses 6 approaches to preparing test data: 1) using the user interface, 2) inserting data via API calls, 3) direct SQL insertion into the database, 4) using data sets with DBUnit, 5) versioned data dumps, and 6) reusing production data. The key recommendations are to choose the approach that best fits the system under test, speed up test data management with APIs, reuse live data when possible, and mix strategies as needed to build reliable test cases.

Bro, manage test data like a pro!
Bro, manage test data like a pro!Mikalai Alimenkou Almost any application or software system manages data. It is hard to imagine test automation that is not affected by this fact. There are many differenct approaches how to prepare system under test, providing predefined test data: use application UI, invoke API methods, run business logic directly, access DB from test scenarios, etc. In this talk we will review most of existing approaches, starting from the easiest and the most popular ones and finishing with really tricky ways to manage your test data for large distributed systems. There is no ideal solution for every case or silver bullet, but I hope your toolset will become wider after visiting this talk.
Бытовая классификация тестировщиков с точки зрения разработчика
Бытовая классификация тестировщиков с точки зрения разработчикаMikalai Alimenkou Тестировщики часто говорят о противостоянии и конфликтах с разработчиками. Но ведь есть команды, где все живут в мире и согласии. Видимо что-то тут не так? Я хочу поговорить о том, как тестировщиков видят сами разработчики. В докладе будет проведена забавная классификация. Кроме известного всем тестировщика-обезьянки будут представлены тестировщик-муха, тестировщик-нацист, тестировщик-панда и многие другие герои. Высможете лишний раз задуматься над тем, как вас видят со стороны и, возможно, изменить ситуацию к лучшему.
Доклад будет также полезен менеджерам проектов и лидерам команд. Вы сможете быстрее распознавать те или иные шаблоны поведения тестировщикови принимать меры по повышению уровня командной работы. Приходите, будет интересно!
Code Review tool for personal effectiveness and waste analysis
Code Review tool for personal effectiveness and waste analysisMikalai Alimenkou Usually it is hard to analyze personal effectiveness and detect wastes in development process because developer’s work decomposition is not transparent and available for analysis. As a good sample of ineffective process imagine developer, who spends 1 day on task implementation and then reimplements it several times according to code review notes during next 2 days. Or another developer, who is waiting for code review during 2 days, switching context to other tasks, finally gets notes and switches back to initial task, trying to refresh all details in his head. And so on and so forth…
Code review tool usage helps to aggregate lots of useful information about any code change at any stage (static analysis, code review, rework, acceptance, integration into main branch). In this talk I’m going to demontrate how this information could be used for detailed analysis of development effectiveness and wastes detection. Based on mentioned analysis you could implement many improvements for your development process and then measure their success.
Funny stories and anti-patterns from DevOps landscape
Funny stories and anti-patterns from DevOps landscapeMikalai Alimenkou During last several years DevOps became strong buzzword used almost in every project, team and company. But almost everywhere it is used in very funny and strange context. For example, existing ops guys are renamed to DevOps just to sell them to the client for more money. Or DevOps is used as new job title for some magically powerful person who is able to operate cloud environment and modern infrastructure related tools, leading team of old school ops and participating in management meetings. In this talk I’m going to review all different anti-patterns and bad practices in DevOps landscape using stories from my personal experience as Delivery Manager and independent consultant.
Developer + tester = quality++
Developer + tester = quality++Mikalai Alimenkou With Agile adoption many things have changed in quality assurance and tester role. Ourdays the whole team is responsible for product quality. But not so many people understand how such high level approaches work in practice, how developer interacts with tester, what stages each task passes on the way from requirements specification to customer acceptance, who is doing what at each stage.
I have met only few teams, where developer and tester work closely together on a daily basis. Some projects try to same money on developer's time, others try to have independent testing team without influence from developers side. Developers also don't understad how tester could help them in practice. But this pair is able to significantly improve product quality and avoid many common issues.
In this talk we will cover motivation behind pair work of develoeper and tester, concrete practices and approaches at different stages, and advantages that both sides could achieve from such work style.
Continuous improvements of developer efficiency with modern IDE
Continuous improvements of developer efficiency with modern IDEMikalai Alimenkou Nowadays IDE are much more intelligent than 10 years ago when they played mainly code editor functions. At the same time number of good practices and techniques is growing from day to day and most developers don’t have time to learn them with the same pace. So it could be a good idea to use IDE as continuous learning tool. In this talk we will cover following areas of developer efficiency: automated refactorings, live templates, useful suggestions, code standards, code navigation, code generation… I hope after this talk your daily job will become much more effective.

TrustArc Webinar - Data Privacy and Cyber Security: A Symbiotic Relationship
TrustArc Webinar - Data Privacy and Cyber Security: A Symbiotic RelationshipTrustArc In today’s digital age, data has become an organization’s lifeblood. As the use of digital technologies continues to escalate, so do the risks associated with personal data, which continue to grow exponentially as well. To effectively safeguard personal and sensitive information, organizations must understand the intricate relationship between data privacy, cybersecurity, and incident response.
Data privacy and cybersecurity are two sides of the same coin. Data privacy focuses on how personal data is to be collected, used, stored, shared and controlled, while cybersecurity aims to protect systems and networks from unauthorized access, digital attacks, malware and data breaches.
However, even with the best data privacy and security measures in place, cyber incidents can still occur. A well-prepared incident response plan is crucial for minimizing the impact of a breach and restoring normal operations.
Join our experts on this webinar to discuss how data privacy, cybersecurity, and incident response interact and are essential for safeguarding your organization’s digital assets.
This webinar will review:
- How data privacy and cybersecurity intersect
- How to develop a comprehensive privacy and security strategy to safeguard personal and sensitive information
- What are suggestions and expectations around incident response

AI Driven Posture Analysis Fall Detection System for the Elderly.pdf
AI Driven Posture Analysis Fall Detection System for the Elderly.pdfPatrick Ogbuitepu This project introduces an innovative, cost-effective solution for real-time activity monitoring of elderly individuals. By leveraging the MediaPipe pose estimation model, fuzzy logic, and finite state machines, the system can reliably track individuals, recognize static postures (standing, sitting, lying), and detect transitions, particularly focusing on falls. A key achievement is the system’s zero false alarm rate, a significant advancement in vision-based fall detection systems. While the system shows promise, it faces limitations in scenarios with severe occlusions or low lighting conditions. To address these challenges, future work
will explore the use of multi-camera setups, interactive calibration modes, and audio feedback to enhance accuracy and user experience. This prototype represents a significant step towards reliable, real-time elder care. By combining advanced AI techniques with practical considerations, this system offers a scalable and effective solution to a pressing societal need.
