Also learn how to test before, during, and after deployment and roll back code if tests fail. Finally, learn how to use prebuilt pipeline templates to bootstrap a customizable CI/CD pipeline using common DevOps partners like GitHub. Join this talk to learn the moving parts of a CI/CD pipeline and have the tools to set up a pipeline for your serverless applications.

Seb Rose, Continuous Improvement Lead, SmartBear

One of the first questions stakeholders ask is “when is it going to be ready?” – which is closely linked to “how much is it going to cost?”

In this session we’ll look at (among other things) user stories, relative estimation using planning poker, and agile teams delivering on a fixed date. There will be plenty of reference to important books on the subject of estimation, but I’ll leave #NoEstimates for another day.

Dave Snowden, Director Cynefin Centre, Chief Scientific Officer Cognitive Edge

On the whole low code area, I think there is an architectural piece here about objects and assemblies which includes people and methods as well as code – work on semiotics is important here. Also work on abstraction and how you use it – we are working on a multi-vendor multi-methods approach here which includes agile. So that would set a wider context to understand how to fit better within the user environment.

Keith Watson, Director of DevOps, ADP UK Limited

Agile Development and Continuous Delivery using DevOps tooling is seen at the modern mode of software development. Adopting these patterns has allowed organisations to improve the cadence of delivery and self-sufficiency of individual software development teams. This however can lead to a proliferation of tools, artifacts and operational models throughout the organisation. What if it were possible to imagine a future where Continuous Delivery was based on an integrated supply chain model similar to that used in current manufacturing processes? This talk explores what that might mean and what has to change to realise that vision.

Jasmine Kernaleguen, CEO, Performance Rebels, AMP Coaching & Consulting, Canada

People performance is the limit you can’t exceed – effectively it’s the lid on business results. To accelerate and grow exponentially, on a “hockey stick curve”, means lifting this limit and redefining what it means to perform as a leader. Instead of just managing performance (using methods we’ve used since the 1800’s), be a rebel and create performance through rapid iteration. Experience “live” how to leverage psychology, neuroscience and physiology to elevate human performance in business. Stay engaged from start to finish as you learn instantly usable takeaways to “Hockey Stick People Performance.”

Maarten Urbach, Managing Director, DATPROF

More than once the lack of the right test data withholds testing to deliver systems on time and with the right quality. When these bottlenecks are solved, test data is an accelerator for testing and test automation teams.
