In this episode, Dan and Sam are exploring the topic of evidence-based management, which was first mentioned in Episode 101, “Are Scrum Masters Expendable?” In that conversation, they discussed some of the things that Scrum Masters could be doing beyond the team and one of them is in helping manage the product suite.   Dan and Sam unpack the concept of evidence-based management and share how this model can be used alongside Scrum to help people and organizations improve the way they deliver products and improve the value of their products.   This episode is rather timely too, with the newest edition of the Evidence-Based Management Guide just being released on Scrum.org! If you’re new to EBM (or didn’t fully understand it before) there is no better time than the present to learn about it.   Key Takeaways What is evidence-based management? It’s an empirical approach to help organizations EBM provides a framework to get a better feel for what is valuable so you can base the decisions you make on actual data (rather than gut-feeling) and run experiments that improve metrics Through intentional experimentation and evidence, EBM enables organizations to systematically improve their performance over time and refine their goals based on better information The EBM model: It has five key elements: A Strategic Goal — something important that the organization would like to achieve; this goal is big and far away with many uncertainties (similar to a product goal) — because of this, the organization needs a series of practical targets, like: Intermediate Goals — achievements which indicate that the organization is on the path to its Strategic Goal (the path to the Intermediate Goal is often somewhat uncertain but not completely unknown) (kind of like a release goal) Immediate Tactical Goals — critical near-term objective toward which a team or group of teams will work help toward Intermediate Goals (similar to a sprint goal) A Starting State — where the organization is relative to the Strategic Goal when it starts its journey A Current State — Where the organization is relative to the Strategic Goal at the present time EBM focuses on four Key Value Areas (KVAs): These areas examine the goals of the organization As an organization, you want to measure and evaluate these Current Value (CV) – the current value that the product is delivering today The purpose of looking at CV is to understand the value that the organization is delivering to customers and stakeholders at the present time Organizations need to be continually re-evaluating and looking at customer/user happiness, employee happiness, and investor and stakeholder happiness CV helps the organization understand the value that their customers or users are experiencing today Unrealized Value (UV) — additional/potential value the product could realize if it was pursued UV could be features that the organization hasn’t considered developed yet (but could) or markets that the product could serve (but doesn’t currently) The organization should be thinking about: “Can we get any additional value out of this product?” and whether or not it’s worth it Comparing UV and CV can help an organization decide whether or not they should continue investing in a product Time to Market (T2M) — how long it takes the organization to deliver new value The reason for looking at T2M is to minimize the amount of time it takes for the organization to deliver value (without it, the ability to sustainably deliver value in the future is unknown) Ask: “Are we spending too much time estimating?” Questions the organization needs to continually re-evaluate for T2M are: “How fast can the organization learn from new experiments and information?”, “How fast can you adapt, based on the information?”, and “How fast can you test new ideas with customers?” Ability to Innovate (A2I) — the effectiveness of the organization at delivering value The goal of A2I is to maximize the organization’s ability to deliver new features and capabilities that customers will find valuable When evaluating A2I, an organization should be asking: “What is preventing us from delivering new value?” and “What prevents customers from benefiting from the innovation?” Having a hypothesis and executing an experiment: A hypothesis is a proposed explanation for some observation that has not yet been proven or disproven After forming a hypothesis, run the experiments, and then inspect the results Was the hypothesis proven or disproved? Once you have this data you can evaluate it and make adjustments as needed “Explicitly forming hypotheses, measuring results, and inspecting and adapting goals based on those results are implicit parts of an agile approach. Making this work explicit and transparent is what EBM adds to the organizational improvement process.” — EBM Guide   Mentioned in this Episode: Evidence-Based Management Guide | Scrum.org Agile Coaches’ Corner Ep. 101: “Are Scrum Masters Expendable?” Agile Coaches’ Corner Ep. 78: “Exploring OKRs with Felipe Castro” Three Horizons Framework The Anarchy: The East India Company, Corporate Violence, and the Pillage of an Empire, by William Dalrymple The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It for Life, by Twyla Tharp Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis, by J.D.

On this episode of The Six Five - Insiders Edition hosts Patrick Moorhead and Daniel Newman welcome Jeff Barr, Vice President and Chief Evangelist at AWS to discuss AWS’ response to COVID-19 and exciting new product announcements.   AWS’ Response to COVID-19   During this COVID-19 pandemic, AWS has been focused on helping customers continue to operate as efficiently as possible. One of the first things the company did was make it easier for businesses to get access to Amazon Workspaces, a virtual desktop in the cloud. They also had special offers for Amazon Chime and Amazon WorkDocs to help companies facilitate collaboration.   In addition to helping customers, AWS launched the Diagnostic Development Initiative (DDI) to provide support for innovation around both testing and development of different kinds of solutions. They’ve also made AWS compute power more available to researchers who are studying different possible solutions and vaccines.   Finally, AWS launched a public data lake with curated data sets so experiments could actually run queries on real data which will hopefully allow scientists and researchers to find a cure faster.   AWS Virtual Summit   Traditionally, AWS hosts Global Summits throughout the year, but given the current stay-at-home orders still in place, they’ve had to pivot to a virtual summit the first of which was Wednesday, May 13.   The summit is free, online and anyone interested can join. The event is designed to bring the cloud computing community together to connect, collaborate, and learn about AWS. Attendees will hear from CTO Werner Vogels, CEO Andy Jassy, and several other AWS employees who are subject matter experts in various AWS categories.   Breaking Down AWS Announcements   Jeff, Patrick and Daniel spent time discussing several of the new AWS announcements from the last few months that are making a difference for customers all over the world.   Amazon Macie   Macie is a security service that uses machine learning to automatically discover and protect sensitive data in AWS. This service has been around for about a year, but AWS has recently made some great additions including updating the machine learning models so customers can scan for even more types of private information. They’ve also added some customizability if customers have special data types that might have different kinds of proprietary or sensitive data inside. The best part is AWS has lowered the price down to a fifth of what it previously cost so more customers are able to benefit from the different services.   Amazon Elasticsearch Service   Data is growing exponentially in quantity and size and Amazon Elasticsearch Service customers are needing new ways to store and access data as efficiently as possible, specifically data that was collected for the long-term. The current storage tier was called Hot for quickly accessed storage. AWS just introduced a new tier — Ultra Warm — that will hold the more historic data that customers don’t need as often and it will take slightly longer to access.   Amazon AppFlow   SaaS applications have been highly functional, but the data created and collected across these many applications has effectively been in a silo. Amazon AppFlow is a service that allows customers to securely transfer data between SaaS applications. Customers can unlock the access to that data, making it easier for data to flow from the SaaS app into AWS as well as the other way around. and the other way around as well. Customers can run data flows on a schedule, in response to an event, or on demand — basically whenever they need it.   Amazon Kendra   AWS’ enterprise search tool Kendra gives customers powerful natural language search capabilities across websites and applications so users can easily find information in the data spread across the enterprise.   While most search tools use keyword queries, Kendra is able to use natural language questions to search through portals, wikis, databases, and document repositories to find whatever is needed. It not only captures the data, but also the access permissions for the data too.   Amazon Augmented AI (A2I)   Many current machine learning applications require humans to review predictions to ensure results are correct. Amazon Augmented AI or A2I makes it easy to build the workflows required for these reviews and provides a built-in review system for common machine learning use cases.   Customers are able to choose three different categories of human reviewers. They can use the 500,000 global workers that make use of Mechanical Turk. There's a set of third party organizations that have a base of pre-authorized workers, or organizations can make use of a private pool or workers.   AWS Snow Family   The Snow Family devices are physical devices that have both storage and local compute power making it easy to migrate data into and out of AWS. Recently AWS launched an improved version of the Snowball Edge Storage Optimized devices. These devices provide both block storage and Amazon S3-compatible object storage.   AWS did a hardware refresh, added additional processing power, and added some additional SSD storage inside. Now if you launch EC2 instances on the Snowball Edge those instances have access to this SSD powered storage.   You can use these devices for data collection, machine learning and processing, and storage in environments with limited connectivity giving customers the ability to use them basically anywhere.   Finally, AWS also made it easier for our customers to set up and manage the Snowball Family devices with AWS OpsHub, a graphical user interface where customers can unlock, configure, copy data to and from the device via drag and drop even if they're not connected to the Internet.   If you’d like to learn more about any of these announcements, be sure to visit the AWS website.

In the old days, getting a master’s degree or a PhD meant you’d likely go into academia. The focus was to get students ready for research and teaching higher education. But as competition for academic jobs has increased, students need to look elsewhere for jobs. Enter the Accelerate to Industry program, or A2i, at NC State University’s Graduate School. This week on First in Future, the Assistant Dean for Professional Development Laura Demarse tells us about how this unique program is giving grad students the skills they need to land a job.

Today’s show is all about healthcare innovation. The first guest is the best healthcare activist for women. Mark my words: Sophia Yen will get the new Administration to realize the value in providing no-cost birth control to women. It’s not an emotional argument. She says she can talk to the numbers that will speak the language I believe has the power to convince President Trump to see things her way, and continue with what she says the “Affordable Care Act” has offered women. Sophia is the founder/CEO of Pandia Health, which is a telemedicine company that provides prescriptions and regular home delivery of birth control to women. She has a lot of passion for her work, which began as a Physician, then to becoming a Clinical Professor at Stanford University, and ultimately founder/CEO of Pandia Health, which won the prestigious Girls In Tech “Amplify” Pitch Night, which was a competition against other female entrepreneurs. Her business is what she calls “recession proof”. You’ll hear about her innovative ways of changing the healthcare landscape for women. In the second half of the show, Sam Abidir, CEO Of Aspire Ventures discusses how AI, mobile and cloud technologies are helping the healthcare industry provide more patient-centric care than ever before – with this patient-centric care often referred to as “precision medicine”. He talks specifically about how technologies such as artificial intelligence are having a hugely positive impact on research for chronic diseases, including Diabetes. One of its portfolio companies, Tempo Health is using Aspire Ventures’ Artificial Intelligence platform to develop a product for diabetes management. The product just went through a test trial for diabetes management, with the results suggesting that the technology can help patients more accurately monitor and manage their diabetes condition than ever before. The results of the trial indicated that Tempo Health’s Rhythm system – based on A2I – was found to considerably increase the patient participants’ time in range and decrease time in hypoglycemia compared to results obtained by an experienced team of doctors. The future of healthcare is here and Sam has the pulse!
