Improving the way we deliver software depends on the way we approach software development. Evolving an agile environment requires establishing Firm Foundations, and building incrementally to deliver real operational benefit as early as is practical. Although it is essential to be in control of a software project, it is vital to ensure transparency of work being performed, and have clear and continuous communication for teams. As such, terms such as ‘control’ and ‘collaboration’ can sound like competing principles, maybe like ‘waterfall’ and ‘agile’. In reality, in a working agile environment, control is not something imposed from outside, but is generated from within, through collaborative working practices. The nexus of collaboration encompasses the entire business context, and automatically produces the best possible result. All that is left is to monitor its success! Working with principles, enables keeping what is best, and continuously improving everything else. Presenters

Haven't had the time to fully explore all that Excel, Word and PowerPoint has to offer? If so, now's your chance to pick up a few handy tips that you may not have discovered yet. You can save a lot of time and effort working with Excel, Word and PowerPoint if you know a few tricks and shortcuts. |
The course aims to give an introductory overview of High Performance Computing (HPC) in general, and of the facilities of the High Performance Computing Service (HPCS) in particular. Practical examples of using the HPCS clusters will be used throughout, although it is hoped that much of the content will have applicability to systems elsewhere. |

This short session will provide an understanding of the principles, tools and techniques involved in Process Analysis with a view to improving business process effectiveness and efficiency. Delegates will have the opportunity to practice using the techniques that they learn via exercises designed to be enjoyable and thought provoking. The course refers to the methodology used in conjunction with Triaster process mapping software available to users across the University of Cambridge. |

The University needs to maintain records about the personal data we hold, how we use it, and how we keep it secure to meet the obligations of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which comes into force on 25 May this year. The Information Asset Register (IAR) is the University’s chosen method of meeting this obligation. At this event, James Knapton and Sibel Allinson will provide a live demonstration on how to use the IAR and host a Q&A session. |

This introduction to building mobile apps explores the basic elements and options for an app, from the simpler menu-driven and webpage rendering approaches, to some of the possibilities involved in orientation and location-sensitive data inputs and augmented reality techniques. The course will include a review of some existing apps which help demonstrate many of the options available for apps, and provide the opportunity to design a basic app incorporating some of those elements. There will also be an overview of important security considerations, and ways to share and distribute a more polished app, either independently or via existing app repositories and stores. |

This two day practical hands-on workshop is aimed at Fortran programmers who want to write modern code, or to modernise existing codes, to make it more readable and maintainable by encouraging good software engineering practices. This workshop will also present how to integrate tools and techniques for Fortran codes to help you develop sustainable software for your scientific and academic research particularly in a collaborative environment. Overall, the aim is to make you a better and more productive computational scientist by improving your applied computer science skills that are directly relevant to computational science. |
