Agile tour 2014 highlights/notes

I went to my first "agile tour" conference. Why: I want to hear Jean-Marc De Jonghe (transform management to succeed an agile transformation) and David Hussman (Lessons in gravity: what keeps you down?).

Here are my highlights notes (yes its notes):
Jean-Marc De Donghe:

• Wall was coming
• slow decline of subscribers (~45 mins)
• increase web (5-15 mins) -> less revenues
• A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be. - Wayne Gretzky- 
• smarthphone web traffic: 86% apps, 14% browser
• experience TV->laptop->tablette->cell (intimité/privacy)
• Agile vs old school
• context vs control
• confidence vs fear
• context and vision
• recruiting=attitude, aptitude, diversité
• agilité bidirectionnel (good luck)
• build trust = quick win greedy approach
• protect your team
• Speed = disorder (tech debt); 
• Environment who  promote agile
• No split by job
• refactoring = speed 
• Estimate added value to set priorities

David Hussman:

• gravity sucks!
• launch rocket -> Egyptian approach = much easier 
• uncertain/overly certain Product(uncertain) /techno (certain)
• y = product learning, x = structure complexity
• Accidental complexity-> incidental complexity 
• mass has consequence, process mass, techno mass, mass of certainty, meeting mass
• http://devjam.com/ + nonban (least process+most measurable value)
• better conversation not stories
• diff between what they need and what you think they need
• gource mine craft (visualize code)
• point = size of effort (useless) size of value
• book: anti fragile (the black swan) + founder at work
• investment discovery vs delivery
• valuable vs feasible

Others: (great speakers -> Michel Céré, Richard Martin)

• value not effort
• Self manage team = team -> scrum master -> boss
• no hierarchy + scrum master = authority 
• People value more the process then the result
• influence silencieuse de l'autorité (manager keep forgetting)
• scrum master should do their work
• propose: auto organize or hierarchy request (its a choice)
• team should force people to take off is required
• culture  = fondement ordre social
• valeurs vécus+artefacts+presuposé (macro culture, sous culture, micro culture)
• Changement culturel & objectif d'affaire
• Culture des opérations (collaboration/communication), culture conception/ingénierie (idea, système élégeant), culture haute direction (finance, image entreprise et de soi)
• Importance of rituals
• voir openagileadoption
• Dynamisme/cohérence globale -> reponse pertinente
• agile: empowering groups+cadre execution aligné+ cible=client
• WIP/JIT/Velocity (work in progress, just in time...)
• TRG = taux de rendement global: toyota = 86% + bureau = 17%
• Leadership mobiliser
• QIX = Qty I.... Max
• Volonté stratégique
