This document discusses strategies for scaling Kanban and agile practices across multiple teams of over 150 people working on large projects while maintaining autonomy, leadership, and motivation. It recommends building autonomous, cross-functional teams organized by communication needs, using consistent planning practices and tools, adopting a modular architecture with clean code, frequent deployments to avoid big releases, and educating middle management in agile practices. Autonomy, vision, focus, and open communication are key to leadership at scale.

Keep Calm & Carry On - practical tips for fun, informative presentationsCourtney McDonald
?
This document provides practical tips for creating fun and informative presentations. It emphasizes knowing your topic, staying focused, knowing your audience and their time constraints, being comfortable with yourself and overcoming nerves. It also recommends using stories, humor, and visuals like images and code samples to engage audiences.

An short introduction to the PRIME (Publisher, Repository and Institutional Metadata Exchange) project, by Brian Hole, at the JISC Managing Research Data programme launch workshop in Nottingham, UK, October 25th 2012.
This document summarizes a study of 25 cases of parapharyngeal tumors over a 2 year period. The key findings are:
1) There was a male preponderance (52%) and highest incidence in the 3rd and 5th decades.
2) The most common presenting symptoms were difficulty swallowing (36%) and neck swelling (28%).
3) Fine needle aspiration was performed in 21 cases and correlated with biopsy in 13 cases.
4) CT scan was required for all cases to delineate the size, extent and relationship to surrounding structures.
5) The most common tumor types were neurogenic (44%), salivary origin pleomorphic adenoma (24%), and parag

This document provides a side-by-side comparison of the key capabilities of MicroStrategy 9 and QlikView 11 business intelligence platforms. It evaluates the two platforms on their ability to deliver business intelligence with less IT effort, support all user needs through a single platform, enable self-service analytics through intuitive interfaces, perform well at large scale, be quick to implement and easy to maintain, support interactive mobile intelligence, provide deep insights through analytics, and suit both departmental and enterprise deployments. The document argues that MicroStrategy 9 outperforms QlikView 11 on all of these capabilities due to its reusable metadata, centralized administration, scalability, and ability to support a wide range of analytics and deployment scenarios with a single platform.
Reactive programming and Hystrix fault tolerance by Max MyslyvtsevJavaDayUA

Reactive programming is a new paradigm that provides asynchronous event-based flow control. Java implementation is called rxJava and is being developed by Netfix. They have also released Hystrix ¡ª a non-functional layer that provides fault tolerance and latency features which also exposes reactive API.
This document discusses several different types of cysts that can occur in the head and neck region, including nasopalatine duct cysts, oral lymphoepithelial cysts, dermoid cysts, epidermoid cysts, and globulomaxillary cysts. It provides details on the clinical and radiographic presentation of each cyst type as well as microscopic findings. The document also examines several congenital syndromes that affect craniofacial development, such as Apert syndrome, Crouzon syndrome, hemifacial hyperplasia, and mandibulofacial dysostosis.
Culture is everywhere we look, and (perhaps more importantly) everywhere we don¡¯t look. It informs our work, our purchases, our usage, our expectations, our comfort, and our communications (indeed, if you aren¡¯t familiar with a specific geographic and historical set of experiences, the presumably clever title for this talk will instead be perhaps bland). In this presentation, Steve will explore the ways we can experience, observe, and understand diverse cultures to foster successful collaborations, usable products, and desirable experiences.
Yes, My Tuatara Loves to Cha-Cha Improv, Creativity and DesignSteve Portigal
?
From UX New Zealand 2015 - Improv is not ¡®stand-up comedy¡¯ but a series of games that offer huge degrees of freedom within a set of constraints. During improv, we bring out quickly-understood-and-communicated rules of culture that are implicit, not explicit.
Design and improv have important similarities. Both practices involve collaboration and brainstorming; an emphasis on breakthrough thinking; in-the-moment aspects and ¡®Aha!¡¯ moments; a balance of process, structure, and unfettered creativity; an enormous unspoken interaction; and the need to learn upon reflection.
Playing with improv can help us to be more mindful of the power of listening, to create a more collaborative work culture, to develop our own creativity, and to warm up teammates and clients in workshops and design sessions.
In this interactive presentation, you¡¯ll learn about improv, listening, and creativity, and how each supports the others. No tuataras will be harmed.
