Scaling Kanban at Ultimate Software Link to heading
Talk at the Agile Conference, circa 2010
During my time at Ultimate Software (now UKG), I coached several
teams on Agile Development methodologies. Based on that work I gave a presentation at
the Agile Conference on implementing and scaling Kanban at a
large development organization. The talk also focused on the migration
of 30 Scrum team to Kanban.
The talk was heavily attended and I got great questions from the audience.
The slides are copyrighted by Ultimate Software, but here is an InfoQ article which acknowledges my work on this area: Ultimate Kanban: Scaling Agile without Frameworks at Ultimate Software
Trap.Net: a Realization of Transparent Shaping in .Net Link to heading
Talk at a Software Engineering conference in Boston, circa 2007
This talk was based on my master thesis which consisted of modifying the behavior
of long-running programs. These programs couldn’t be restarted thus they received
new instructions dynamically at run time which altered their original behavior.
The research paper on this work can be found here: Trap.Net: a Realization of Transparent Shaping in .Net.
