The document discusses various agile methodologies and frameworks, with a focus on Scrum. It defines Scrum as an agile process that allows teams to focus on delivering the highest business value in the shortest time through rapid inspection of working software every 2-4 weeks. Key Scrum roles include the Product Owner who prioritizes features, the Scrum Master who facilitates the process, and self-organizing Development Teams. Sprints involve planning, daily stand-ups, demos, and retrospectives to continuously improve.
Scrum is an agile framework for managing projects that uses short cycles of work called sprints to incrementally deliver working software. There are three main roles in Scrum - the Product Owner prioritizes features in the Product Backlog, the Scrum Master facilitates the process, and the self-organizing Team works to complete the highest priority items each sprint. Key Scrum artifacts include the Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, and Burn Down Chart. The main Scrum ceremonies are Sprint Planning, Daily Scrum, Sprint Review, and Sprint Retrospective meetings.
The document provides an overview of Agile project management. It discusses the history and origins of Agile, which began in 2001 when 17 software development pioneers created the Agile Manifesto. It defines Agile as an iterative approach to software delivery that builds incrementally from user stories prioritized in two-week sprints.

Beginner/Entry-Level Agile Interview questions and Answers
1. Explain agile methodology.
Agile methodology is a software development paradigm that emphasizes iterative and incremental development. The agile strategy is based on delivering a product in tiny operational increments or builds. Every program built is a better and more advanced version of the previous one. The development team and stakeholders are constantly collaborating on enhancements and changes in requirements.
Alternatively, we can describe the agile approach as the process of continuously providing functioning software while maintaining regular communication with stakeholders in order to ensure customer satisfaction.
2. How many types of Agile Methodologies are there? Enumerate them.
Agile Methodologies are classified into seven different types. They are:
• Scrum
• Kanban
• Extreme Programming
• Feature-Driven Development (FDD)
• Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM)
• Lean
• Crystal
3. What are the merits and demerits of the agile technique?
The following are some of the most noteworthy benefits of the agile methodology:
• Agile software development is one of the quickest and most flexible methodologies available.
• During the development phase, customers might adjust their needs at any time.
• It largely focuses on the software product's regular release. As a result, clients have the opportunity to see the product in its early stages of development.
• Customers have the option of providing comments on any working deliverable they receive.
• Because the development team focuses on creating a product that matches the customer's needs, this strategy ensures customer happiness.
• It focuses mostly on the product's good design.
The document discusses how the role of program and project managers is evolving in the era of lean and cloud computing. It outlines three key ways the role is changing: 1) Program managers are becoming lean champions and helping teams adopt lean principles to develop products iteratively; 2) They are focusing more on being the voice of the customer to ensure products meet customer needs; 3) They are bringing more data-driven analytics to product development and using metrics to analyze customer usage and feedback. The document provides examples of how program managers at Adobe are implementing these changes to help teams innovate more quickly and deliver continuous value to customers.

Agile methodology is a project management approach that breaks work into short phases with frequent reassessment. It values individuals, working software, customer collaboration, and response to change over processes, documentation, contracts, and plans. The Agile Manifesto outlines these values. Traditional approaches use waterfall development with sequential phases and no revisiting. Agile is useful when requirements change, development is long-term, and collaboration is needed. Popular aspects of Agile include sprints, Scrum meetings, backlogs, user stories, and frequent deliveries.

Planning Poker is a technique used to estimate effort for tasks in Agile software development. It involves each team member privately selecting a planning poker card representing their estimate for a task. The cards have Fibonacci numbers written on them. The cards are then revealed and discussed if estimates differ, until consensus is reached. Once estimates are established, the team's velocity (amount of work completed per sprint) can be used to predict future release dates. Planning Poker works well because it leverages the wisdom of crowds and averages individual estimates for more accurate results.

Move Auth, Policy, and Resilience to the PlatformChristian Posta
Developer's time is the most crucial resource in an enterprise IT organization. Too much time is spent on undifferentiated heavy lifting and in the world of APIs and microservices much of that is spent on non-functional, cross-cutting networking requirements like security, observability, and resilience.
As organizations reconcile their DevOps practices into Platform Engineering, tools like Istio help alleviate developer pain. In this talk we dig into what that pain looks like, how much it costs, and how Istio has solved these concerns by examining three real-life use cases. As this space continues to emerge, and innovation has not slowed, we will also discuss the recently announced Istio sidecar-less mode which significantly reduces the hurdles to adopt Istio within Kubernetes or outside Kubernetes.

Brightwell ILC Futures workshop David Sinclair presentationILC- UK
As part of our futures focused project with Brightwell we organised a workshop involving thought leaders and experts which was held in April 2024. Introducing the session David Sinclair gave the attached presentation.
For the project we want to:
- explore how technology and innovation will drive the way we live
- look at how we ourselves will change e.g families; digital exclusion
What we then want to do is use this to highlight how services in the future may need to adapt.
e.g. If we are all online in 20 years, will we need to offer telephone-based services. And if we aren’t offering telephone services what will the alternative be?
The Strategy Behind ReversingLabs’ Massive Key-Value MigrationScyllaDB
ReversingLabs recently completed the largest migration in their history: migrating more than 300 TB of data, more than 400 services, and data models from their internally-developed key-value database to ScyllaDB seamlessly, and with ZERO downtime. Services using multiple tables — reading, writing, and deleting data, and even using transactions — needed to go through a fast and seamless switch. So how did they pull it off? Martina shares their strategy, including service migration, data modeling changes, the actual data migration, and how they addressed distributed locking.
Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdfleebarnesutopia
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
Tool Support for Testing as Chapter 6 of ISTQB Foundation 2018. Topics covered are Tool Benefits, Test Tool Classification, Benefits of Test Automation and Risk of Test Automation
