For large companies who have invested decades in building project teams then dismantling them, pulling people to the work and multi-tasking them, the concept of Stable Teams might seem logical but VERY HARD in practice.

The goal of this session is to dig deeper into practical ways to start shifting to Stable Teams while sharing years of experience from the real world in making this vision a reality.

Presenter: Sally Elatta, (LinkedIn profile) one of PMIs® LEAD Experts, is a dynamic Coach, Trainer and Public Speaker who is passionate about transforming individuals, teams and organizations into improving their project management and software development practices and delivering business value early and often. She is a certified ScrumMaster, Scrum Practitioner, Certified by IBM, Microsoft and Sun.  Sally also publishes several short learning videos on AgileVideos.com.

Data products derive their value from data and generate new data in return. As a result, machine-learning techniques must be applied to their architecture and development.

Machine learning fits models to make predictions on unknown inputs and must be generalizable and adaptable.

As such, fitted models cannot exist in isolation; they must be operationalized and user facing so that applications can benefit from the new data, respond to it, and feed it back into the data product.

Data product architectures are, in effect, life-cycles. Understanding the data product life-cycle enables architects to develop robust, failure-free workflows and applications.

Benjamin Bengfort discusses the data product life-cycle and outlines the Lambda Architecture, demonstrating how to engage a model build, evaluation, and selection phase with an operation and interaction phase.

Benjamin then explores wrapping a central computational store for speed and querying and covers monitoring, management, and data exploration for hypothesis-driven development.

From web applications to big data appliances, this architecture serves as a blueprint for handling data services of all sizes.

Presenter: Benjamin Bengfort (LinkedIn profile) is a Data Scientist who favors technology. He is currently finishing his PhD at the University of Maryland on machine learning & distributed computing. A professional programmer by trade, a Data Scientist by vocation, Benjamin’s writing pursues a diverse range of subjects from Natural Language Processing, to Data Science with Python to analytics with Hadoop and Spark.

How do you develop a new generation of learners who have spent more time with video games than in school?

Join Anders for a session packed with demos and case studies of how leading Fortune 50 companies are harnessing gamification, simulation, virtual and augmented reality, and mobile video to build organizational capabilities:

• A global sales force transformed with a Mission-Possible-themed, video-based, sales simulation game
• A tower-defense-style game to train cyber security skills
• A 3D immersive hospitality management game
• A new leadership initiative introduced with a “transmedia storytelling” campaign across a multitude of screens and devices

Finally, the session will demonstrate how the new generation of virtual and augmented reality technology can simulate tasks that are too dangerous, expensive or inconvenient to practice in real life.

Presenter: Anders Gronstedt, Ph.D. (LinkedIn profile) President Gronstedt Group, improves performance with innovative learning approaches, including next-generation digital simulations, gaming, transmedia storytelling,  immersive 3D virtual worlds, and virtual and augmented reality. Anders is a former faculty member of the CU Boulder School of Journalism and his articles have appeared in the Harvard Business Review.
