Systems Engineering, MBSE & SAFe Workshop

Virtual

Learn the mechanics of running a system specification workshop and how to perform them as part of a cadence in the SAFe ART.

Aligned with the goals of the DoD Digital Engineering Strategy, this 10-hour workshop will teach you how to create & leverage models aligned with your organization's enterprise agile environment. Designed for Systems Engineers & Architects you'll use hands-on simulations to incrementally construct 'system specifications' using MBSE techniques that define system context, behavioral response to stimulus, structural design and interfaces. These models, which evolve on a synchronized cadence, are used to:

-Ensure architectural integrity and runway of the system
-Identify and prepare for integrations to other systems
-Elicit functionality to be decomposed and developed in an agile manner over the next increment

Benefits of Custom Presentations | IBM Engineering Workflow Management (EWM)

Virtual

IBM Engineering Workflow Management (EWM) provides many out-of-the-box features for the customization of attributes, attribute types, enumerations, presentations, workflows, and more. Attributes can be presented as Decimals, Integers, Strings, HTML, Small HTML, Radio Groups, Enumerations, Rich Text, Categories, Tags, and Work Item Lists. However, sometimes customers may need a bit more customization to address the needs of their internal users.

In this session you will see an example of a non-trivial custom presentation in EWM. For our customer, the Work Item List editor presentation was simply not enough. Even though they liked the general idea of being able to see the links to the Work Items in a Work Item List, the customer also wanted to be able to directly (from the Work Item List) create new Work Items to add to the list and to modify several attributes of existing Work Items in the list.

We will walk through the process of how we worked with the customer to identify their need; how we worked with the customer to refine their need; and, at a high-level, how we implemented the custom presentation.

Rockwell Automation’s Lean Portfolio Transformation with Jira Align | Tips & Tricks with an SPCT

Virtual

Many organizations are looking to apply Lean Portfolio Management (LPM) techniques as their organizations adopt the Scaled Agile Framework or SAFe (or other enterprise agile methodology). The LPM approach shifts leadership focus away from outputs and towards measurement based on value-based outcomes. This is achieved by aligning portfolio/business strategy with product development through the application of systems thinking, as well as lean approaches to funding, portfolio operations and governance. Learn more: Leading a Lean Portfolio eBook.

Duane Bushman is an SPC Trainer (SPCT) and Lean Agile Coach at Rockwell Automation. He'll take you through the trials and triumphs of helping an important portfolio team, responsible for one of this industrial automation's largest business units, adopt a more lean/agile mindset in how it reviews, approves, initiates and tracks strategic initiatives. Fundamentally a change in culture, the concurrent adoption of Atlassian's Jira Align (which was already being used at the ART/program level) helped this executive team visualize the changes they were making and track their prioritized portfolio epics across teams and through time, ultimately helping them make value-based decisions in near-real time about whether to persevere, pivot or punt on any given initiative.

Hands-On Lab Online: GitLab in a Regulated Environment with Full Traceability from Requirements to Test to Code

Virtual

Watch | Try | Learn
These are the features that will be covered in the HOLO:

• Integrating the IBM ELM solution with GitLab allows teams to enforce best practices while using GitLab
Review optional rules and how to modify them

• Validate the enforcement of policies around pushing commits and merge requests based on Work Item rules from Engineering Workflow Manager (EWM)
NOTE: you will try this in the HOLO by linking to no work item, or linking to a work item that breaks the rules

• Review of traceability that is available within the architecture

Live Webinar | Why Change the Way You Track Requirements?

Virtual

Is your company facing any of these common issues –
• Missed schedules / deadlines
• Quality issues
• Lack of transparency
• Failed audits
• Scope creep
It’s possible that at least part of the root cause is the tool you are using to manage your requirements.
Simple documents and spreadsheets can’t manage today’s complex product development processes – you need a purpose-built product for the job, one that hasbeen real-world tested in some of the most demanding companies and projects. A tool that can offer a single view of the truth throughout the lifecycle.
Join us on February 17 for a 30-minute session where we will show you how you can easily move your requirements from a Word document to a powerful requirements management tool, and some of the things you can then do with that tool.

Session One | Facilitating Essential SAFe with Jira Align

Virtual

Essential SAFe revolves around delivering value by implementing Features within Program Increments (PIs). The 3 major activities relative to a PI surround a PI Planning event: Preparing for PI Planning, PI Planning event itself, and managing the execution of the PI. Without tool support, performing these activities can be a daunting task. Jira Align is the premier tool for supporting all levels of SAFe and provides support for all 3 of these activities. To that end we are making available to you 3 webinars that will demonstrate how Jira Align facilitates Pre-PI Planning, PI Planning, and PI Execution.
Session 1 – During the first session we will demonstrate how Jira Align supports the PI Planning event itself:
• Breaking down Features into Stories
• Allocating Stories to Iterations
• Identifying and negotiating Dependencies
• Identifying Team and Program Objectives
• Identifying Program Risks.
