Beyond Budgeting – Business agility in practice open_in_new

This workshop will address how an entire organization can be run in an agile way, where people and interactions are more valued than processes and tools, and where responding to change is more important than following a plan. You will get unique insights into Business Agility in practice, both from a managerial, financial and human perspective. You will benefit from Bjarte Bogsnes’ extensive experience. He has helped companies all over the world getting started on a Beyond Budgeting journey, including his employer Equinor (formerly Statoil) – where the budget (and much more) was kicked out 2005. This and many other great case stories and practical examples will be shared. 

Learn how to trust and empower without losing control, and how to redefine performance – with dynamic and relative targets (or no targets at all) and a holistic performance evaluation. Understand how dynamic forecasting and resource allocation works, and also other examples of self-regulating management mechanisms, including transparency. Bjarte will also share insights into KPI and OKR pitfalls, and bonus problems. 

Learn from the fringes! Understand how management innovation can provide just as much competitive advantage as technology and product innovation!

High-Performance Team Building™ class open_in_new

Your team can be ten times better.

What does that mean? That means your professional team can accomplish 10x more work, do it with 10x more quality, 10x faster, or with 10x fewer resources. Your family can be 10x happier. Your school can be 10x more effective at helping people learn. Your community group can be 10x better at making life better for the people it serves. Even you yourself can be 10x more effective at getting what you want.

In other words, you can be great. Your team can be great.

Greatness

Can you say these things about your teams?

1. My projects are completed effortlessly on schedule and within budget every time.
2. Every team I’ve ever been on has shared a vision.
3. In meetings, we only ever do what will get results.
4. No one blames “management” or anyone else if they don’t get what they want.
5. Everybody shares their best ideas right away.
6. Ideas are immediately unanimously approved, improved, or rejected by the team.
7. Action on approved ideas begins immediately.
8. Conflict is always resolved swiftly and productively.

The Core Protocols are one way to make teams that have these characteristics.

Beyond Estimates and NoEstimates: Let's explore the possibilities open_in_new

The default use of an "estimate-driven" approach is pervasive in software development efforts. While estimates can be useful for some things, it is worthwhile to scrutinize our use of estimates, and to seek better ways to manage the development of software when estimates are not appropriate. [NOTE: For this session, I am referring to the use of estimates of cost, time, or effort for software projects, features, or tasks.] 

There are a number of things to explore. For example, do we really need estimates for everything we currently use them for? Are we getting a reasonable benefit from them? Is it possible to manage software development without them?

Advanced Deployment Pipeline Techniques open_in_new

The Deployment Pipeline is a central concept in Continuous Delivery. It represents an effective, controlled channel through which all changes destined for production pass.

A defining objective in CD is to work so that our software is always in a "releasable state." By applying high levels of automation to our development process, in the form of a Deployment Pipeline, we pass all changes to our production systems through this channel and evaluate them prior to release. This means that the pipeline quickly becomes a strategic resource.

As our use of this important tool grows, the performance of the pipeline, in terms of the rapidity with which it can give valuable feedback on the quality of your work, becomes a central concern.

He started working in large scale distributed systems about 25 years ago, doing research into the development of loose-coupled, message-based systems – a forerunner of MicroService architectures.

Dave has a wide range of experience leading the development of complex software in teams, both large and small, in the UK and USA. Dave was an early adopter of agile development techniques, employing iterative development, continuous integration and significant levels of automated testing on commercial projects from the early 1990s.

MicroServices - Let’s Build Some! open_in_new

A hands-on development of asynchronous MicroServices using a bus architecture!

This is the original MicroService workshop by the person who Adrian Cockcroft (of Netflix) cites as the first use of the term, MicroService. While “MicroServices” is becoming a heavily over-worked term, it has been interpreted many ways. In this hands-on workshop we will explore a particular style that matches “fuzzy” problems, that is, problems that lack a definitive solution, like fraud detection or recommendations. Using tiny asynchronous services, we create an environment that supports continuous experimentation, that was the core of one of the most successful implementations. Given an animated specification of flow, we will embark on delivering the proposed services, wrestling with the issues common to this new paradigm. Participants have a choice of languages, with new starting code in Java, C#, and Ruby. At the end of the workshop, we will discuss MicroServices challenges and organizations that are optimized for such architectures.

It is one thing to talk about MicroServices. It is another altogether to have to build them. The instructor, Fred George, is cited by Martin Fowler as one of the co-inventors of the MicroService architecture, and cited by one of those co-inventors as the first use of the term MicroService.. He has refined it and used it extensively over the last dozen years, mostly on the “fuzzy” problems (see Dave Snowden’s Cynefin model’s Complex and Chaos segments). After a brief introduction of MicroService principles, we will watch an animation of a MicroService environment. We will start with new versions of pre-built skeleton microservice environment (RabbitMQ message bus with a couple of starter services in Java, C#, and Ruby). We will then design and implement additional services to broaden the overall functionality. These additional services can be written in any language that will run on the participant's laptop.

While pairing is strongly encouraged, it is not required. In the final stage, different pairs will implement different services, yet they will all run together implementing the animation. Throughout the workshop, we will stop as participants come across common issues with MicroServices. We will use this time to discuss best practices. We wrap up with the participants making observations on what they learned (and how it may be different from MicroServices they are currently implementing, if any). This is followed by presentations on MicroService challenges and the organization impact of rapidly developed MicroServices.

Build Your Rapid Innovation Playbook: Help your team(s) validate ideas 10X faster open_in_new

Innovation is risky. That’s why successful innovators validate their ideas before building them. 

And the best way to validate your product idea is to test the right prototype on the right early customers. 

In this high-impact workshop for product leaders and entrepreneurs, you’ll learn how to turn your ideas into a product that people come back to, again and again, with a proven system that takes the guesswork out of product discovery. 

During the workshop, you’ll put together a rapid innovation playbook to help your team:

• Zero in on product/market fit by talking to the right early customers 

• Boost engagement with a skill-building habit loop

• Save time by testing your product with no-code storyboards

This workshop will teach you advanced techniques that power the biggest hit games & products of our time - & dramatically increase your odds of success.
