This document provides a sample agenda for a training workshop on convening design using the book "GATHER: The Art & Science of Effective Convenings". The agenda includes sections on deciding whether to hold a convening, determining the purpose of a convening, and working through typical convening challenges. Participants will work in small groups to develop answers to convening challenge questions and report out to the full group. The goal is to deepen understanding of convening design principles and tools that can be applied.
This document discusses the importance of creating a vision for software projects. It explains that a project vision describes the reason for undertaking a project and the desired end state, with the goal of aligning the team. The vision helps move an idea into a product or service definition that can be implemented. A vision acts as the true north that guides the Scrum team. When creating a vision, the document recommends including details like the target customers, their needs and benefits, the product's unique value and qualities, key technologies and features, operational requirements, and financials. It then provides guidelines for conducting a vision workshop with the entire team to develop the vision statement over 2-3 hours.
The document discusses the concept of "selling less of more", which refers to a shift in media from selling a small number of popular "hit" items in large volumes, to selling a large number of niche items in small quantities. It uses LEGO Factory as an example, which allows LEGO fans to design, showcase and sell their own custom LEGO kits. This represents an attempt to generate small revenues from many custom items, as a supplement to traditional high-volume retail revenues. It leverages LEGO's existing production and logistics infrastructure while requiring an online platform and additional resources to manage custom orders.

This document provides tips for establishing trusted working relationships between editors and freelance writers. It suggests that editors start new freelancers on less impactful projects to evaluate their skills, and provide thorough instructions, deadlines, and source guidance for assignments. Freelancers should focus on developing niche expertise, meet deadlines, follow directions carefully, and ensure the validity and sourcing of their content. Effective communication throughout projects can help build trust between editors and freelancers.
The 2012 SLAS Asia Conference and Exhibition in Shanghai, China welcomed 470 participants from China and other countries.

How Product Managers and Agile Development Teams Can See Eye to EyeProductPlan

Agile has transformed the way companies build and release products. But it is not without its own set of challenges. With frequent shifts in priorities, it can be difficult for product managers to set expectations. In this webinar, product management veterans from ProductPlan, Pivotal Tracker and Notion share their tips for effectively working with agile teams.
This document discusses improving board meetings for startups by making them more continuous and digital. It suggests that startups should blog their progress, including customer development findings and business model canvases. This allows advisors and investors to continuously monitor progress remotely. It argues this approach professionalizes the search for a business model and improves advice, accountability and efficiency compared to traditional periodic board meetings. It also eliminates geography as a barrier to investors participating in startups. A demo of interactive business model canvases and comment features is then shown to illustrate this continuous board meeting approach.
I led a workshop at MX Conference on March 30 2016 where I taught participants how to increase their organization's appreciation and respect for the design process.
Scaling Product Thinking with SAFe - The Secret Sauce for Meaningful Product ...Cprime
油
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is the agile methodology of choice for many large enterprises. It promises predictable and frequent delivery in complex environments.
Our experience with organizations that adopt SAFe shows that an organizations willingness to blend product-thinking, technical agility and a culture of learning is the secret sauce for catapulting the organization from process excellence into meaningful product impacts.
In this webinar, well share tried and tested ways of introducing product thinking and engineering practices into SAFe organizations, covering organizational, product, and technical ground.
You'll learn:
- How to establish products as value streams and gently reorganize ARTs over time without sacrificing product community or continuity.
- How to use product stories to engage your teams before and during PI planning in a way that invites collaboration on a healthy blend of continuous discovery and delivery.
- How customer, architectural, and operational learning pave the way for scaling to teams of teams from a DevOps perspective, including patterns and anti-patterns.

Some teams think they can be agile by using a defined process or set of practices as defined by one of the agile approaches. This is just doing Agile. Other teams are agile in name only the team says its doing Agile but ends up using the same old practices and achieving the same results. Teams adopt agile for a variety of reasons, but its not the process or set of practices they select that produces the results they seek. Teams are most successful when they adopt a particular mindset in order to be agile. Join Kent McDonald as he describes this mindset through 7 key ideas based on how people and organizations work best. Well discuss some specific techniques you can use to adopt the mindset on your project, how the project manager role changes along with the mindset, and how to help your team move from doing Agile to actually being agile.
Applying ResearchOps and DesignOps in globally distributed teams @ the Global...Patrizia Bertini

How can we organise and manage globally distributed teams, harmonise design and research processes and tools, increase spending efficiencies, boost teams productivity, decrease research and design lead time, and create a OneTeam mentality? How can we foster a rapid experimentation mentality, increase our data informed, customer-backed, and insight lead approach to design across 7 regions? These were few of the challenges I faced when I started my journey in DesignOps leading the designOps for 7 teams across the globe. This talk will highlight the strategic planning and execution behind the establishment of a global DesignOps practice through a case study that will describe how we identified the priorities and executed a global roadmap and how we have been promoting an insight and research focused approach to design to empower designers and to strengthen Designs strategic role within the company.
