Artur Suchwalko “What are common mistakes in Data Science projects and how to...Lviv Startup Club
Common mistakes in data science projects include:
1) Not properly defining the business problem or focusing on optimizing the wrong process.
2) Not adequately preparing the data or understanding how it was generated.
3) Rushing the modeling process or implementation without proper testing.
4) Choosing complex methods or "AI" solutions when simpler approaches may work better.
5) Not involving experienced people or adequately educating the team.
To avoid these mistakes, it is important to carefully analyze the business problem, data, modeling process, and make sure the right people are involved.
Enterprise social what is the real value to the business - sps philly - mar...Ruven Gotz
This document provides an overview of enterprise social and its value. It begins with two stories that illustrate how enterprise social can help dispersed teams stay connected and allow rapid access to knowledge from colleagues. It notes the cultural shift of working "out loud" that is required. The document contrasts enterprise social with consumer social and marketing tools, and examines the value of planning governance for enterprise social. It also discusses the benefits of integrating enterprise social, like Yammer, with existing tools like SharePoint, and outlines lessons learned for a successful enterprise social implementation.
The document discusses lessons learned from transitioning collaborative modelling practices like EventStorming to remote formats. It describes how the author initially stopped all in-person workshops and trainings due to COVID-19. Through experimentation with online tools over 18 months, the author discovered both challenges and opportunities of the remote format. Some key lessons included the outsized impact of digital divides, the importance of asynchronous contributions alongside synchronous sessions, and the ability to leave modelling sessions permanently visible and accessible online. The author outlines various formats and how they may be used remotely or in hybrid formats going forward.
Phase 3: Better ideas (Presentation at SalesForce 1-28-2015)Bruce Eckel
First came tools: programming languages, version control, testing, build automation and eventually continuous delivery. Somewhere along the tools curve, we began seeing that our process wasn't working and that we needed shorter, faster experimentation with better feedback cycles and communication, which produced Agile. Now that we have much better tools and processes (both of which continue to improve), what is the next big step in the evolution of software development, and development in general? Now that we've gotten pretty good at building things, I believe we need to get better at discovering good things to build. After a brief history of tools and processes, I will look at this need and explore how we must change our perspectives to address our next big challenge.

Being agile while standing in a waterfallMike Edwards
The document discusses adopting agile practices while still operating within a traditional waterfall development model. It begins with an anecdote about a team that was given a large project with a tight deadline and limited resources that had traditionally used waterfall. The team was able to deliver the project on time and under budget by adopting agile practices like breaking work into smaller projects, establishing team values, and securing executive support. The document advocates that agile principles can be successfully applied even within organizations still reliant on waterfall models.

Scaling Product Thinking with SAFe - The Secret Sauce for Meaningful Product ...Cprime
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 organization’s 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, we’ll 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.

Agile prioritizes individuals and interactions over processes and tools, working software over comprehensive documentation, customer collaboration over contract negotiation, and responding to change over following a plan. These principles guide Agile teams to work more efficiently and flexibly.
Benefits of Agile:
Discover the numerous benefits Agile offers, including:
Flexibility and Adaptability: Quickly respond to changes in the project environment.
Customer Satisfaction: Ensure continuous delivery of valuable software.
