What I Believe. I believe that Agile software development, with its focus on iterative planning, retrospectives, refactoring and teamwork, can help lawyers become better advocates, advisers, judges, peace and rule makers.
I believe that Lean manufacturing, with its clarity around reduction of waste, minimizing work in progress and reducing friction in work flows, can inform lawyers seeking to provide better service, however they choose to manifest their legal practice. I believe that Complex Adaptive Systems thinking, with its emphasis on operation, adaptation, feedback loops and emergent innovation, can help lawyers better define their social value within the context of building a just and democratic society. I believe that porting Agile, Lean and CAS concepts, practices, patterns, philosophy and personas into the practice of law will support a more robust and democratic legal ecosystem by supporting lawyers and other legal knowledge-workers as they move forward to keep pace with a global society.
Complex Systems Design: An Introduction - Udemy. Some technologies are simple like a cup or hammer, some are complicated like a circuit board or car, but some are truly complex such as large information systems, supply chain networks, sustainable urban environments, health care systems or advanced financial services.
These complex engineered systems are defined by consisting of multiple diverse parts that are highly interconnect and autonomous. This course is a comprehensive introduction to the application of complexity theory to the design and engineering of systems within the context of the 21st century, from the bigger picture of why we should care to key architectural considerations, It brings together many new ideas in systems design to present an integrated paradigm and set of principal to the design of complex systems. Design Principals- In the third module to the course we discuss the primary principals that should govern our approach to designing complex systems.

How analytics tools can help agencies sharpen e-discovery By Phil FavroJan 15, 2015 It is axiomatic that the United States government comply with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (Rules) like any other litigant.
The Rules, which govern the procedures of all civil actions brought in the Federal District Courts, have been in effect since 1938. Nevertheless, the task of satisfying the Rules’ discovery provisions has lately become increasingly difficult. In a recent survey of federal legal professionals, far fewer respondents than in previous years felt confident that agencies could show that their electronically stored information (ESI) is “accurate, accessible, complete and trustworthy.” Such a conclusion is not altogether shocking given the challenges to the discovery process from the sheer growth of information and locations where relevant, responsive data could be found.
Furthermore, those expectations will probably be heightened in the coming years as new Rule changes come into play. Agile Community Content on InfoQ. Research on Agile What are the most widely used .NET practices and tools?
This InfoQ Research item examines the adoption level of a range of practices and tools that aim to assist .NET developers in these practices. Note that we have focussed only on these practices - there are other tools such as reflectors, productivity tools, frameworks etc. which we are not covering in this research. Biggest Impediments for Effective Agile Adoption? This InfoQ Research item aims to rank the impediments to agile adoption in organisations. What are the Most Important and Adoption-Ready Agile Practices? InfoQ have launched a new community driven research tool, and one of the areas we want to examine is the relative importance, and level of use in teams of a variety of agile practices, covering both social and technical practices that teams may be using.
