She discussed agile values from the manifesto and principles like prioritizing customer satisfaction and frequent delivery. The presentation concluded with suggestions on what support is needed for successful agile adoption, like improving build pipelines, empowering teams, and being patient as change takes time.
The document discusses smart metrics for agile projects. It recommends choosing leading metrics like features accepted, sponsor confidence, and user satisfaction that are simple, self-generating, relevant to goals, and future-focused. Lagging metrics like lines of code are not as useful. Metrics should influence positive behaviors by leveraging the Hawthorne Effect. Feature tracking and cycle times are presented as examples of smart metrics that provide visibility into progress and bottlenecks.
The document argues that focusing on quality and sustainability over speed leads to better software development outcomes. It notes that taking time early to reduce defects and improve maintainability saves significant costs down the road. Overall, the document advocates for an incremental approach to development that prioritizes learning from each iteration rather than trying to deliver code at an unsustainable pace.

The document discusses what it takes to be an agile software company. It defines agility as a company's ability to quickly identify and seize opportunities more effectively than rivals. Being agile means being able to quickly adapt to or anticipate and lead change. The document discusses how agility affects strategic thinking, operations, technology innovation and the ability to innovate in products, processes and business models. It also notes that while some companies exhibit agile characteristics, agility is unevenly distributed and it is important for companies to repeatedly demonstrate agility over time.
The document describes using lean principles to build the Millennium Falcon from Lego pieces in an agile manner. A team identified bottlenecks in finding pieces and assembling them, then divided work and established queues to flow pieces through the process more efficiently. Specialists emerged who optimized piece finding and assembly. Control charts tracked variability over time, which the team worked to reduce. Defect tracking and work in progress limits were also utilized to improve the process of constructing the starship model.
The document discusses creating agile organizations. It defines an agile organization as one that can sense opportunities and threats, prioritize responses efficiently, and act effectively. The author advocates measuring an organization's agility in these three areas - ability to sense, prioritize, and act. Transforming an organization to be agile involves analyzing where it is lacking in these areas and designing improvements based on agile principles like Scrum.
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.
The document discusses techniques for crafting user stories that are effective for embedded software projects, noting that context is important, stories evolve over time, and it can be useful to identify the customer, what they want, why they want it, and to find the conditions of satisfaction. It also recommends considering building block stories for different technical layers and identifying the "do-er" or performer of the work in the story.
The document discusses various programming tools and concepts. It provides lists of popular programming languages like Java and PHP, frameworks like Spring and Rails, and version control systems like Git and Mercurial. It also discusses code examples in Java, Ruby, and Python and ways to refactor code to make it more readable and maintainable.
The document discusses the Lean Startup methodology. It defines a startup as an experiment designed to deliver a new product or service under conditions of uncertainty. The Lean Startup process advocates for iterating quickly through building minimum viable products and testing hypotheses through customer feedback before resources run out. Key aspects of Lean Startup include establishing a baseline with an MVP, tuning the product through experiments, and deciding when to pivot or persevere. Actionable metrics like the AARRR framework and cohort analysis are important for measuring progress. Pivots are changes to test new fundamental hypotheses when experiments reach diminishing returns.
Behaviour Driven Development - Beyond given when thenAgileOnTheBeach
Behaviour Driven Development (BDD) builds upon Test Driven Development (TDD) by formalizing good habits like slicing tests vertically around user stories rather than horizontally across layers. This allows for earlier feedback. BDD expresses tests and examples using patterns like "Given, When, Then" to define the context, action, and expected outcome. It also encourages describing user interactions to enable testing through different interfaces.
