Building Data Science Products? Think Business First Modern machine learning libraries are both a blessing and a curse. Due to the ease with which the libraries can be used, most users (newbies and practitioners alike) focus too much on tools and techniques. We will discuss the high-level thinking process of coming up with a machine learning algorithm by asking a business question before even thinking about the tools or technologies.Learning Objectives We will discuss the high-level thinking process of coming up with a machine learning algorithm by asking a business question before even thinking about the tools or technologies.

Portfolio as a Value Enabler: How to Make It Real A portfolio as a value enabler is not easy to achieve. It requires not only good process, practices and the right competencies in place but it also needs a change in the mindset of those involved in managing the portfolio. Quite often, a portfolio is not perceived as a value enabler but a necessary administrative burden. But how it can be perceived differently if it is presented as a collection of projects and programs or a massive Gantt chart? In order to change that perception and turn it into something tangible, portfolio management must apply principles of investment management. With this principle, it can turn into a great vehicle to drive business objectives. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs.

Shared Knowledge is Power - Building a Project Management Community As project managers, we do not deliver. We do not cut code or build bridges. We work with teams and stakeholders to ensure that delivery is done. The job of the project manager is about working with people, breaking down barriers, reducing risk, and managing change. To do this well, it's not about 'know what,' it's about 'know how.' Better access to knowledge-and the support to use it wisely-means faster, cheaper, and higher quality projects. At Fujitsu, our vision is about providing the ability for project managers to share knowledge and experience by interacting with other members of the community, in agile and dynamic client-facing environment. Equally as important is taking that knowledge back into the organisation. This supports the individual in developing their professional career, and supports the organization in improving its project delivery. Understanding your customers' changing organisation is difficult enough. Combined with your own ever-changing organisation and the faster pace of agile project delivery, we need to leverage more than just our own knowledge and experience. A strong project management community driven by knowledge sharing may be the answer you need. The size of your organisation is irrelevant - everyone can benefit from a knowledge based community. It is how you shape the community to meet your needs that will deliver the benefits.Learning Objectives Better access to knowledge-and the support to use it wisely-means faster, cheaper, and higher quality projects.

Managing Agile and Waterfall Projects: A Hybrid Approach With the growing interest in Agile approaches, how can we take a measured approach? Organizations can't just simply drop everything to become 100% Agile. Not only are hybrid approaches acceptable, they are common in transitioning organizations. We need to understand the strengths and weaknesses of both the traditional and Agile methods to find the best combination that gives us the best of both worlds. This presentation will cover how to combine both approaches into a hybrid model, and help you understand the general criteria of how one approach would be chosen over another.Learning Objectives This presentation will cover how to combine both approaches into a hybrid model, and help you understand the general criteria of how one approach would be chosen over another.

What is Disciplined Agile? Where did it come from? Where is it going? How can it help me? In your organization, you are very likely using a variety of approaches to deliver solutions to your stakeholders. You might be using traditional waterfall, agile, or hybrid approaches. If you are applying agile methods or frameworks, you might be using Scrum, SAFe®, Lean Kanban, or 'roll your own' techniques. Regardless of what methods you are using, the Disciplined Agile (DA) tool kit can help you to be more effective. It is an agnostic, comprehensive library of strategies and practices, with practical advice for which ones work for in different contexts. Many organizations struggle to evolve an agile way of working (WoW) that makes sense for their unique situations. The good news is that you don't need to figure it out on your own. The DA tool kit leverages the experiences of thousands of teams who have already struggled through the very issues that our teams currently face. By referencing these strategies, you can accelerate your journey to project delivery success using a technique we call Guided Continuous Improvement (GCI). Learning Objectives This presentation explains the value of the Disciplined Agile tool kit and how to use it in practice with GCI across your entire organization, putting you on a path to true business agility. Learn what DA is and where it came from Learn about where DA is moving next Understand how DA can help you with your projects
