Respect Serendipity, Aalto University 4.3.2014. Hackathon. A hackathon (also known as a hack day, hackfest or codefest) is an event in which computer programmers and others involved in software development, including graphic designers, interface designers and project managers, collaborate intensively on software projects.[1] Occasionally, there is a hardware component as well. Hackathons typically last between a day and a week. Some hackathons are intended simply for educational or social purposes, although in many cases the goal is to create usable software. Hackathons tend to have a specific focus, which can include the programming language used, the operating system, an application, an API, or the subject and the demographic group of the programmers. In other cases, there is no restriction on the type of software being created. Origin and history[edit] Structure[edit] Hackathons typically start with one or more presentations about the event, as well as about the specific subject, if any.

Facilitator's guide to the 5D model Appreciative Inquiry process step by step The appreciative inquiry method 5D is useful for change processes. The method is powerful because it creates energy and hope among the participants by looking at what is good in the organization, what works, and what is successful - rather than looking at the organization as a place with a series of problems that need fixing. The AI method avoids "blame-games" which can be a negative side effect of the traditional problem solving methods. Since people are encouraged to come together to share best experiences and identify collective strengths, there is no blaming of past failures. In the following we will take you through the model step by step. 1. The first step is about choosing a relevant theme for further investigation. 2.
The second step is to discover "the best of what is". 3. Based on the success stories, participants now share their "wildest" dreams about the chosen theme. 4. 5. References. Games Wiki. Softwareentwicklung Projekte Programmierung Use Cases | Comelio GmbH. Die Comelio GmbH setzt für die Durchführung von Anwendungsfallanalysen innerhalb der Modellierungs- und Planungsphase von Softwareprojekten die Use Case-Technik ein. Die erstellten Anwendungsfälle (Use Cases) lassen sich im Projektverlauf in vielfältiger Weise nutzen und bieten während des gesamten Projektzeitraums eine umfangreiche Materialsammlung für eine geordnete und anforderungszentrierte Projektarbeit. Die Technik ist rein textbasiert, lässt sich problemlos in das Projektmanagement mit dem V-Modell in seiner jeweils gültigen und aktuellen Fassung integrieren und untermauert die Use Case- und Verhaltensdiagramme der UML mit konkreten Beschreibungen und ausformulierten Transaktionsschritten.
Geschichte und Ursprung Das Konzept der Use Cases ist bereits sehr alt und stammt ursprünglich aus den späten 60er Jahren und wurde von Ivar Jacobson entwickelt. Definition und Abgrenzung Der Begriff Use Case lässt sich am besten mit dem deutschen Begriff Anwendungsfall übersetzen. Basismethodik. Sketchnote Army - A Showcase of Sketchnotes. McDonald’s Theory — What I Learned Building… I use a trick with co-workers when we’re trying to decide where to eat for lunch and no one has any ideas. I recommend McDonald’s. An interesting thing happens. Everyone unanimously agrees that we can’t possibly go to McDonald’s, and better lunch suggestions emerge. Magic! It’s as if we’ve broken the ice with the worst possible idea, and now that the discussion has started, people suddenly get very creative. I call it the McDonald’s Theory: people are inspired to come up with good ideas to ward off bad ones. This is a technique I use a lot at work.
Anne Lamott advocates “shitty first drafts,” Nike tells us to “Just Do It,” and I recommend McDonald’s just to get people so grossed out they come up with a better idea. The next time you have an idea rolling around in your head, find the courage to quiet your inner critic just long enough to get a piece of paper and a pen, then just start sketching it. No. The same goes for groups of people at work. Not sure how to start? That’s how it’s done. Center for Foresight and Innovation - Playbook.

The Lean Startup | Methodology. “Startup success can be engineered by following the process, which means it can be learned, which means it can be taught.”- Eric Ries The Lean Startup provides a scientific approach to creating and managing startups and get a desired product to customers' hands faster.
The Lean Startup method teaches you how to drive a startup-how to steer, when to turn, and when to persevere-and grow a business with maximum acceleration. It is a principled approach to new product development. Too many startups begin with an idea for a product that they think people want. They then spend months, sometimes years, perfecting that product without ever showing the product, even in a very rudimentary form, to the prospective customer. “The Lean Startup method teaches you how to drive a startup-how to steer, when to turn, and when to persevere-and grow a business with maximum acceleration.” + The Lean Startup Process - Diagram + Continuous Innovation Eliminate Uncertainty Work Smarter not Harder Develop An MVP. Methode (Erkenntnistheorie) Eine Methode (altgriechisch μέθοδος ‚Nachgehen‘, ‚Verfolgen‘) ist ein mehr oder weniger planmäßiges Verfahren zur Erreichung eines Zieles.
Methoden finden sich in der Alltagspraxis genauso wie in Wissenschaft, Philosophie und Kunst. Im engeren Sinne wird unter einer Methode ein Erkenntnisweg verstanden. In der Wissenschaft dient die Methode dem Fortschreiten von einer Hypothese zum Gegenstand. Die Philosophie gibt den Einzelwissenschaften als Erkenntnis- und Wissenschaftstheorie Hinweise darüber, ob die gewählte Methode zur Erreichung eines bestimmten Zieles geeignet ist, oder ob sie konsequent angewendet wird. Dies ist die Aufgabe der Methodologie. Das Ideal des Methodenmonismus, dass es eine einzige Universalmethode geben sollte, die überall anwendbar sei, hat sich bislang nicht erfüllt. The first step is to start. Many people ask me, “How can I get started in web design?” Or, “What skills do I need to start making web applications?” While it would be easy to recommend stacks of books, and dozens of articles with 55 tips for being 115% better than the next guy, the truth is that you don’t need learn anything new in order to begin.
The most important thing is simply to start. Start making something. If you want to learn web design, make a website. Want to be an entreprenuer and start a business selling web based products? Make an app. Start with what you already know If you want to build something on the web, don’t worry about learning HTML, CSS, Ruby, PHP, SQL, etc. You probably don’t even know what skills you need, so don’t worry about it.
You can do a lot of the work with simple sketches or slides. Avoid self doubt Many times the reasons we don’t start something have nothing to do with lack of skills, materials, or facilities. This feeling continues into adulthood. Do—there is no try. Elements.
