Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is considered by some as the most suitable option to scale Agile from a software development team to a large program of work. Although presented as an Agile framework, SAFe includes many practices from Lean and ITIL, and it is considered by some agilists as too formal to be Agile: a re-branded ‘waterfall’.

This webinar is an analysis of SAFe from a project, program, and portfolio delivery point of view. The webinar looks at the SAFe practices used before the publication of the Manifesto for Agile software development (Agile Manifesto), especially the Lean ones.

Stelian Roman (LinkedIn profile) will provide recommendations on how SAFe can be used in projects that are not software development related, in combination  with the PMBOK® Guide, to provide Agility for ‘near perfect’ product development processes.

Bug reporting, bug fixing, and re-testing is a very time consuming and costly cycle that we all love to shorten.

It is even worth when bugs are reported by customers after release. Not only because of the interruption it causes to operation and the frustration that it causes to users. Not only because of the time the customer has to wait until the problem is fixed, retested and released as, in many cases, they might have to wait until the next release.

It is mostly because of the disappointment and the loss of confidence caused by the appearance of new bugs where things worked before and are no longer working – regression problems, sounds familiar?

If you have been in software development for a number of years, I am sure you have witnessed the impact of rework on team productivity. And, if you have been in a management position for a while, you probably also have felt the frustration of customers.

Have you ever thought what type of bug reports you get from customers and why we get them?

Getting answers to these two simple questions is the secret of how to minimize or even prevent those bug reports from coming back to your team. In fact, it is also the secret of defect prevention. I am really talking about the secret of Doing it Right the First Time; Something software teams have struggled with for many years.

Your team might have used things like scenarios or acceptance criteria. They might have used agile, TDD, BDD, continuous delivery, continuous testing, and other seemingly promising methods.

Has any of these helped your team achieve the ultimate goal of Doing it Right the First Time or even minimize the number expensive bug reports?

The Scenario-Based development and testing process as implemented in Rommana ALM has proven to reduce the number of bug reports by more than 70% and has shown a major increase in requirement coverage and code coverage.

This webinar will shed the light on this process and show how you can get your team, agile or not, to start using it.

We seem to know what “experience” is. But we fail to create experiences that impact results.

Learning Experience (LEx) beliefs, practices and tools are distinct from the usual ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Development, Implement and Evaluate) methods.

Experience is learning by discovery. ADDIE tends to be learning by instruction. The biggest challenge in designing Learning Experience Projects that impact performance is that we tend to use instruction toolkits, skills, and mindsets – not discovery and experimentation.

Furthermore, we have yet to evolve as designers into being architects for experiences. Naturally, there is a disconnect. This results in frustration.

During and after this Pandemic, Learning Experience will continue to grab the attention of CLOs and leaders. It expands the capabilities of L&D away from the restrictions of old practices.

This session will cover the following:

• What is Learning Experience (LEx) versus other learning methods?
• Why is it gaining popularity?
• Why is LEx helping in uncertain times during Pandemic and rapid recovery?
• What is the “5 Essential Learning Experience Process”?
• How do you recreate impactful Learning Experiences?
• What is the role of instructional design, technology and culture in LEx projects?
• What is the LExLABs Model?
