Vi har fått Mary Poppendieck til Bergen! Dette er ingen hvem som helst dame. Hennes erfaring og kunnskap innen agile og lean er svært ettertraktet og vi er heldig som har fått denne muligheten!

Vi beklager den korte fristen på dette arrangementet, men vi føler det er viktig å være smidig og benytte seg av disse mulighetene når de oppstår.

PS! Arrangementet er på en TORSDAG og ikke onsdag som vi pleier.

Om Mary Poppendieck:

Mary Poppendieck has been in the Information Technology industry for over thirty years. She has managed software development, supply chain management, manufacturing operations, and new product development. She spearheaded the implementation of a Just-in-Time system in a 3M video tape manufacturing plant and led new product development teams, commercializing products ranging from digital controllers to 3M Light Fiber^TM.

Mary is a popular writer and speaker, and coauthor of the book Lean Software Development, which was awarded the Software Development Productivity Award in 2004. A sequel, Implementing Lean Software Development, was published in 2006. A third book, Leading Lean Software Development, will be published in late 2009.

Agenda - Torsdag 7. mail 17:00-20:30
17:00-18:00	Pizza på Biskopen Pub Denne gangen prøver vi noe nytt og har pizza i underetasjen på Biskopen pub i Vaskerelven (Neumanns gate 18). Det er 2 minutters gange fra Scandic hvor arrangementet holdes. NNUG spanderer pizza og noe å drikke uten alkohol. Om du ønsker noe annet fra baren tar du det på egen kostnad :-) Husk at alle må være tilstede på konferanserommet til 18:00 da presentasjonen starter!
18:00-19:00	What is Waste in Software Development? You are under a great deal of pressure to do more with less. How do you go about it? The classic lean approach is to eliminate waste. But what is waste? If you're not careful, you might try to increase utilization and decrease the effort spent learning about the problem. The paradox is, decreasing utilization and developing multiple solutions to critical problems can actually reduce waste! So what is waste? It's anything which does not add customer value - but what does that mean? This session will explore the seven wastes of software development and show why some things that you might think wasteful actually end up helping you to eliminate waste.
19:00-19:15	Pause
19:15-20:15	Thrashing Some companies are better than others at software development. The really good companies, the ones that have tackled most of the easy problems, all seem to have one problem left: they are trying to do more work than they have the capacity to deliver. Anyone who understands queuing theory realizes that trying to work beyond capacity will slow things down, not speed things up. Everyone who works with computers understands thrashing - an overloaded computer spends all of its time moving data around in its limited remaining storage area. This happens when disk usage reaches about 80 or 85% capacity, and the only solution is to do less or get more storage. This session will discuss what causes software development thrashing and how to stop doing it.
