Why do organizations need architects? That’s what this session is all about. It’s a lot more than UML diagrams. Architecture is technology, it’s user experience, it’s communication, it’s bridging between a business vision and implementation of a system. Architecture is about making new and existing systems work well together, to be extensible, to be maintainable. Architecture is process, it’s agile, it’s negotiation and bargaining, it’s about bringing people together and facilitating the implementation of systems that work well, it’s about delivering business value.</font></span></p> <p> Presentation delivered to Inland Empire .NET June 2011.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Top 10 Dysfunctions With Scrum - Don’t Shoot the Messenger!</h1> <p>mikev — Wed, 25 May 2011 20:36:26 GMT</p> <p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Many organizations have tolerated inefficiencies and impediments for years. They recognize the need to become more agile; to respond to the needs of their customers and be competitive in the marketplace. They embark on adopting Scrum but struggle with successful implementation, often falling back on old habits when the going gets tough. Scrum quickly identifies these inefficiencies and impediments and requires their resolution. So, don’t shoot the messenger and try to change Scrum. This session will discuss a top ten list of common dysfunctions and help you deal with them effectively.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-family:Calibri;">Updated 6/26/2011<span style="color:black;font-size:10pt;"></span></span></span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> </article> <article> <h1>The Scrum Product Owner - Big Responsibilities</h1> <p>mikev — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 00:08:03 GMT</p> <p><span><span class="style16">There are three fundamental roles in the Scrum method of agile software development: the Product Owner, the Scrum Master, and the team. The Product Owner is the one person responsible for a project’s success.</span> <span class="style16">In the session this PowerPoint deck outlines we take an in-depth look at the role of the Product Owner. We focus on how to wring more value out of the project, product or service using agile processes, specifically using the Scrum framework. </span></span><span class="style33">We touch on value driven development, product management, requirements management, release planning, and managing total cost of ownership.</span></p> <p><span class="style33">Updated 6/26/2011</span><span style="font-family:Arial;"><br /></span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> </article> <article> <h1>A Lap Around Microsoft Test Manager</h1> <p>mikev — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 15:46:38 GMT</p> <p><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:black;font-size:11pt;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;">Both Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Visual Studio Test Professional 2010 now include a new application called Microsoft Test Manager (MTM) to help you define and manage your testing effort by using test plans. MTM is integrated with Team Foundation Server and provides a user interface designed for testing. In this session we’ll talk a little about software quality and testing. Then we’ll run through some demos to see how MTM helps both testers and developers to be more productive. You’ll see how MTM is helping to eliminate the bug “no repro” problem from the development cycle.</span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Automating Web Deployment for Test and Production with Visual Studio ALM 2010 Team Build</h1> <p>mikev — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 15:42:04 GMT</p> <p><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:black;font-size:11pt;mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;">Out of the box with Visual Studio 2010 Application Lifecycle Management Team Build, based on Workflow 4.0 does a great job building applications and pushing the output to a designated drop location. But what about deployment? Especially if you don’t have Lab Management. Wouldn’t you like to automate deployment to your test environments and maybe even production? In this session we’ll demonstrate how you can leverage Workflow, msdeploy.exe and a few other tools to automate web deployment.</span></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Herding Pigs - Managing Self-Organizing Teams</h1> <p>mikev — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 22:34:58 GMT</p> <p><span style="font-family:'Calibri','sans-serif';color:black;font-size:11pt;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-fareast-language:EN-US;mso-bidi-language:AR-SA;">In the Agile world of Scrum the people who build software, the development teams, are referred to as pigs because they are committed while the others are referred to as chickens because they are only involved. One of the guidelines of Scrum is that teams should be self-organizing. So, how do you manage self-organizing teams? That’s what this session is all about. We want our teams to be highly productive, to grow professionally, to enjoy their work and be in it for the long haul. All while being good organizational citizens and driving on the proper side of the road. We’ll cover a little management theory on motivation and maintaining a positive, healthy work environment and show you how to put it to work. Get ready to re-factor how you herd pigs.</span></p> <p>Presentation originally from Microsoft TechEd 2010 and several code camps.
