In speaking about better ways of thinking and problem-solving, Linda has
introduced Jonathan Haidt's model for the brain. He proposes that the rational,
conscious mind is like the rider of an elephant (the emotional, unconscious
mind) who directs the animal to follow a path. In Fearless Change, the pattern
Easier Path recommends making life easier to encourage reluctant individuals to
adopt a new idea. Linda suggests that in conversations with others who see the
world differently, we "talk to the elephant" instead of the "rider." That is,
don't use logic or facts, but appeal to the emotional brain of the listener as
well as making the path more attractive. There is always the question: What's
the best way to talk to the elephant? This presentation will provide some
answers. Linda will present the best elephant-speak and outline suggestions for
providing an Easier Path.

As software teams start to grow, some common struggles appear:
* Team members feel like projects go on and on, with no end in sight.
* Product managers can’t find time to think strategically about the product.
* Founders ask themselves: “Why can’t we get features out the door like we
used to in the early days?”
We saw these challenges first-hand at Basecamp as we grew from four people to
over fifty.
In this talk, Ryan will share how the Basecamp team operates and talk about
his new book that will help us Stop Running in Circles and Ship Work that

COVID-19 has accelerated the digital transformation of research and health
sciences. The use of genomic information in particular has triggered some of
this change, as the unprecedented data volumes requires Big Data and Cloud
computing technology. This talk outlines CSIRO developed software solutions,
which use the latest in cloud architecture, machine learning and distribution
channels to support a wide range of digital health applications; from disease
gene detection, to personalized gene therapy, and from pathogen diagnostics
to biosecurity applications. Specifically, we developed novel bioinformatics
approaches to track viral evolution that has led to the first study on
vaccine efficacy for the different COVID-19 virus strains. We also developed
a novel machine learning framework capable of processing trillion of genomic
datapoints to detect disease genes. The talk concludes by looking into the
future of how clinical ontologies (FHIR) in combination with health-specific
cloud deployment mechanisms disrupt health care as we know it.

SCHEDULE 7 MONTHS AGO

TALK
BEGINNER
Business Agility is the ability to deliver value to customers quickly,
sustainably, predictably and with high quality. Improving business agility
requires identifying what is of the greatest value, having a value management
office to allocate funds for these items, a way of organizing people so they
can effectively collaborate, and a method of working on these items
efficiently. While there are a lot of moving pieces, proper attention to the
value stream enables all parts of an organization to align around improving
both the way an organization’s clients work as well as how they add value to
it.
Attending to how both customers and the development organization can work
more effectively is the heart of value stream management. It brings together
three disciplines. First, Theory of Constraints to identify the constraints
in the system. Then the theories of flow are used to reduce the delays in the
workflow which create rework and waste. These two integrate with
Lean-Thinking which focuses on creating an environment within which people
can work together effectively.
This session provides an overview of why value streams are so critical and
how to improve them.

TALK
INTERMEDIATE
In the wake of the pandemic and the challenges we have seen around us,
organisations have realised how inequities can trickle down to many aspects
within the sphere on workplaces, teams and practices we follow. It’s time to
revisit old practices in more ways than one.
Aspects like lack of work-life balance, mental well being, asynchronous
communication, extended virtual meetings, prolonged virtual pairing etc.
impact us all.
To address this ThoughtWorks introduced the 'Inclusive Teams - Social
Contract' an exercise for teams to re-look at their old ways, to arrive at an
aspirational set of behaviours and social norms for inclusive ways of working
at both the team and individual level.
It focuses on 4 key aspects -
1. Building a culture of trust and inclusion - Supporting each other,
feedback, empathy and cultivation.
2. Schedules and Meetings - Best practices, setting personal boundaries and
context.
3. Communication practices - Tools, patterns and inclusive practices.
4. Norms of engagement - Connecting as team, fun that is inclusive,
welcoming & respectful.
The inclusive team social contract helps teams understand and empathise with
each other, acknowledge differences and personal context thus increasing team
connect, productivity and shared accountability. It’s recommended that teams
run this irrespective of whether they are working
virtual/F2F/distributed/remote etc.

Is your team battling to focus on what matters? Are team members pulling in
different directions because they are not aligned on what they need to do? Do
you want to adopt a goal-setting technique that can help your team achieve
focus, results, alignment, and transparency?
Teams often battle to make the switch from top-down driven goals to a
collaborative process. As a result, outcomes land up being too broad, can’t
be measured, or are too abstract for the team to know where to start. Let’s
take the guesswork out of goals!
In this session, we will talk about how to help teams focus on what really
matters. By asking the right questions and encouraging collaboration, teams
can clarify their intended outcome, and identify ways to measure their
success. You will have an opportunity to play a board game that helps teams
refine their goals by covering three themes:
* “Discuss” the impact a specific measurement will have on the team,
organization, and customers
* “Define” the best way to track progress towards the goal
* “Do” or take ownership of the actions needed to achieve the goal
Join us as we play our way to amazing goals!

An introduction and explanation of 8 guiding principles design by the Agile
Coaching team for Spotify Ads R&D and how they might help you with your own
change efforts
1. We are more impactful with both team-level insight AND leadership
relationships;
2. We should not become operational (or at least be careful about becoming
operational);
3. Focusing too much on short-term tactical wins limits the ability to have
sustained impact;
4. Coach (aka change agent) collaboration is more effective than silos;
5. Results are for the short-term; systems and habits are for the long-term;
6. Involving leaders (both formal and informal) in both brainstorming and
implementation makes improvement faster;
7. Coaching structure should follow coaching strategy; coaching strategy
should follow product/business strategy;
8. Sharing work and successes should be intentional, not just organic.

WORKSHOP
INTERMEDIATE
Stakeholder engagement is critical in agile projects. Agile project managers,
business analysts, product owners, Scrum masters as well as agile teams must
plan their approach to collaborate well with stakeholders and build
productive working relationships.
While there are many tools and techniques to perform stakeholder analysis, we
need to analyse the mindset of our stakeholders – a deeper level of analysis
– to understand how they might view various situations, and how we can best
respond to them.
We must also be willing to look within ourselves to understand how our
behaviour, words and actions may be perceived to identify how to build
rapport while avoiding conflict and misunderstanding. This is where
mindfulness is needed.
This workshop will explore the ‘Stakeholder Engagement Canvas’, a new tool
that helps us perform a more thoughtful and insightful level of stakeholder
analysis. The canvas allows us to examine the stakeholder’s needs and
attitudes in depth to enable us to better plan and monitor the engagement
process, along with how we can be more mindful working with them. Kathy will
present how to use this canvas to cultivate effective stakeholder engagement.

CASE STUDY
INTERMEDIATE
Very often we work on a code-base that has been written by others, and some
time ago. This code-base could be for the product code, or Test Automation
code.
As the product life increases, evolution of the code-base is a natural
process. However, there are various catalysts to speed up this evolution
process:
* More features / tests to be added, including increased complexity
* People writing the code evolve - their learning, skillset
* Delivery pressure means it is quite possible that correct decisions for
implementation may not be taken. In other words, it is possible that
short-cuts were taken in the implementation leading to spaghetti code /
architecture
People move on to different roles, new people join the team. Each has
different opinions, perspectives and experiences.
Am sure there are more reasons you can think of.
Regardless, the challenge for a new person who starts working on such a
complex code-base is enormous - as the person needs to start delivering
"value".
In this session, I will share various examples and experiences and as a
result of being in such situations, the factors I looked at when enhancing
the code-base to decide - should I refactor or rewrite the
code-under-consideration to be able to move forward faster, while moving
towards the long-term vision.
Though I will focus on various examples of Test Automation, this session is
applicable for any role that writes / maintains code of any nature.

CASE STUDY
INTERMEDIATE
The June 2017 NIST special publication 800-63B, covering Digital Identity,
turned what had previously been the gold standard for passwords on its head.
For the first time, NIST recommended removing complexity rules and password
cycles, supporting longer passwords, no restriction, or requirements on
special characters and preventing the use of common passwords and those
already exposed in a known breach. Why these changes? Because with the best
will in the world, the human element in our security measures is always going
to be the weakest link. Forcing individuals, particularly those whose primary
role has nothing to do with Information Technology, to remember hundreds of
unique complex passwords is hard. They don’t want to and when we make them,
they get it wrong or look for an answer with as little friction as possible.
NIST’s new guidelines are intended to remove some of that friction. When
combined with the use of a password management system and multi factor
authentication, we might hope that our corporate assets are no longer
protected by the same password someone used on their favourite shopping
site.
Unfortunately, things are never that simple. For non-technical users, even
working with a password manager can present challenges. Not all systems play
nicely with password managers, and they also do not stop a user from using
the same credential for more than one product.
Passwordless authentication is one exciting way forward. This in itself, is
not new technology, having been around in various forms for a while - think
magic email links for example - but the approach still relies upon shared
secrets. However, the release of the WebAuthN standard by the W3C and FIDO,
supported by many key vendors, allows us to take advantage of public key
cryptography.
At ThoughtWorks we have embarked on a journey to introduce passwordless login
to our employees, particularly those with high value accounts and who may be
less technical than many. The goal of this session is to share what we have
learned throughout this process. We will share our goals, challenges and
their resolutions. We hope attendees will be inspired to evaluate this
technology, which delivers the rarest of things, better security and a
fantastic user experience.

Keeping Development teams motivated and productive has always been a
challenge even in a pre-pandemic office work environment. In the new
Remote-first work reality, these challenges bring new tradeoffs between
Developer joy and releasing new features quickly and maintaining a high bar
on quality. Add to this the hurdles in communication and this presents a
potential obstacle for most businesses and their bottom line. But using
gamification exercises, quality gating, guardrails and modified KPIs combined
with a reward/objective-based system for distributed development teams can
bring in a new way to drive developer effectiveness in teams. Combining
learnings from running remote distributed teams for over a decade (as well as
through the pandemic) this talk will focus on the
wins/learnings/opportunities that can be a blueprint for enabling happy dev
teams that deliver consistent quality at high velocity

In the last decade, the movement towards CI/CD has been transformational for
getting value out to customers quickly. But in recent years, there has been
new processes and tooling towards using configuration post-deployment, in the
form of feature flags, operational config, or other runtime configuration.
Continually adjusting the configuration to update and tune your code in
production is a powerful, fast, and safe way to deploy value to customers.
Join us in a discussion about how Amazon uses Continuous Configuration tools
at scale to move fast and ensure maximum availability of our services.

If you have witnessed enough Agile transformations, you have probably
experienced a plateau in the journey; or worse, you have experienced “the
great dip”.
Agile Transformations frequently start with a lot of fanfare, see a
fast-paced adoption laced with early successes, and then settle into a
plateau where we experience little to no improvement OR begin a slow, painful
slide into a trough where behaviors start regressing to old ways.
What keeps us stuck on the plateau of change? What might drag us into this
great dip?
There are the usual suspects – management has found the next shiny object,
coaches and transformation agents only know how to help us get this far, all
the easy stuff is done, the frozen middle (management) never really unthawed
and so on.
People with a lot of experience in helping with transformations will know to
watch out for these and would have developed ways to navigate these obstacles
– we know what they look like and we have developed a reliable range of
responses to them.
What really blindsides us are the watermelons! Stuff that looks green on the
outside but is a dangerous shade of red on the inside. Surprising traits that
are superficially positive but can real drag a transformation effort down.
Through this talk I will draw upon my experience of over a decade in
Transformation roles to share what these Watermelons are, telltale signs that
these are lurking in your system and ideas to tackle them.

TALK
INTERMEDIATE
Face-to-face discussion around a sketching space has been considered as most
effective communication strategy. This kind of set up requires members to be
in the same room together. Co-located Agile teams rely on intensive member to
member communication, both within the team and with the customer. This allows
them to deviate from deliverable driven process—like writing detailed
requirement document—usually associated with plan driven approach. Informal
discussions within the room, in breakout areas, and other shared physical
spaces radiate the information thus contributing towards teams collective
understanding without having the need formal communications. While every
organization will have its own business reasons for setting distributed Agile
teams, distribution demand formal ways of conducting the communication
lacking which contribute to knowledge gaps among members. Advancements in
communication strategies has helped distributed teams to maintain the
communication but it has still left a gap in the form of "Presence
disparity".

Extended Reality (XR) as new communication strategy and its deployment within
distributed Agile teams to reduce presence disparity gap, challenges faced &
lessons learnt.
