Introducing the Net Objectives University course, Foundations of Sustainable Design. See https://university.netobjectives.com/courses/foundations-sustainable-design

Al Shalloway gives a first announcement about the Lean-Agile Project, an open community to create an effective approach for delivering value with a software development component in it, without framework myopia. See www.netobjectives.com/lean-agile-project.

A quick description of why refactoring to the Open-Closed Principle is a foundation for emergent design. From a longer talk by Al Shalloway on Agile Architecture.

Sometimes, successful Agile/Scrum pilots can do more harm than good. They can hurt the organization by siphoning off valuable resources and causing resistance. Successful transitions require you to treat each pilot as an opportunity to learn WHY the pilot succeeded, the factors involved, and whether it would work elsewhere.

As an organization looking to become agile, it is critical to see the whole value stream. Al Shalloway discusses the difference of organization structure and the value stream, the challenges when value is delayed, and the need for a higher view to scale to the enterprise.

Ken Pugh gives a quick introduction to Acceptance Test-Driven Development: How it helps communication between the business customers, developers, and testers. Covers the 5 W's: What are acceptance tests, who creates them, when they should be created, where they are used, and why You should use them .

This video applies to the technical practices of Lean-Agile software development. Scott Bain answers a question about test-driven development (TDD): Can a test be written with only a mock object in its fixture?

In this video, Alan Shalloway discusses how the big picture and focusing on what really matters overcomes challenges in release planning. Pareto wins over Parkinsons!

In this video, Alan Shalloway describes the process of mapping a value stream to a Kanban board and why both are important in improving business-driven software development.

In this video, Alan Shalloway discusses what it means for an enterprise to be agile: turning bringing ideas to business capability to meet business needs in a timely way.

In this video, Alan Shalloway discusses one of the most powerful tenets of Lean applied to software development: Reduce delays to avoid creating waste.

Valtech's Al Goerner presents the keynote at the Agile Edge Conference in London March 2nd 2010. More at www.valtech.co.uk Whether B2C or B2B, web-business applications are increasingly complex and significant investments with ever-greater payoffs if done well and in-time to take advantage of market opportunities. It has never been more important to examine methods for web-business application development that foster; •innovation for market differentiation •responsiveness for timeliness and change-tolerance •discipline for quality and reproducibility. Our keynote address discusses these essential characteristics for web-business application development methodology. It explores the differences in culture between the creative marketing and the detail-oriented technology worlds. It contends that those differences are not as great as is often perceived and that cohesion is possible and necessary.

Business Agility & Software Development lost in translation? Download presentation slides at http://www.slideshare.net/stephenellliott/business-agility-and-software-development-alan-chedalawada Alan Chedalawada Net Objectives Successful businesses exhibit a certain level of Business Agility Value criteria, prioritization, frequency of adjusting to changing environments and/or issues. Alan discusses how this Business Agility changes when interacting with Software Development efforts, and what some of the reasons for the changes may be.

For a copy of the presentation http://www.slideshare.net/stephenellliott/adapting-agile-to-the-enterprise-al-goerner Many people intuit that Agile in the enterprise is different than agile in small teams. But, we are not particularly clear just how it is different? It is more than just larger, distributed teams. First, we discuss a model of the issues that make Enterprise Agility different from Just Agile. Then, we focus in on what is emerging as primary axes for scaling agile:Backlog Management and Risk Management. We explore several ways in which these topics are central to the development of a body of practices for Enterprise Agility.

Lean Software Development: A New Beginning and a Path for Transition Alan Shalloway - Net Objectives Presentation at http://www.slideshare.net/stephenellliott/lean-software-development-alan-shalloway Creating Lean companies is difficult and takes a great investment. But can Lean be useful even if a company isnt committed to being a Lean company? This talk discusses how Lean can be thought of as a combination of Lean-Science, Lean-Management and Lean-Knowledge-Stewardship. These are both independent of both manufacturing in general and Toyota in particular. Alan discusses how these three bodies of knowledge build on each other. They also give insights into how to transition to Lean, or as far to Lean as one wants to go.
