Friday October 18, 2024 10:15am - 11:00am EDT

Are you interested in understanding how a team:
Eliminated dependencies...
increased effectiveness, deployment frequency, and quality…
reduced dependencies…
without hiring more people…
all in a sustainable and human-centric way?

Then come join this session where we will:
1. Share the story of how a team, trending in the wrong direction, accomplished the above by thoughtfully and pragmatically leveraging FAST, OKRs, modern product management approaches, and software teaming in a 6-week dojo to turn things around.
2. Dive into what that looked like from a few different points of view...Product Management, UX, and Engineering.
3. Reflect on the above together.

Being a Courageous Leader

Friday October 18, 2024 2:30pm - 3:15pm EDT

Wabash

Have you ever felt like you needed to defend your leadership principles or approach? Or where the momentum and status quo seems to be counter to your goals? You would not be alone. Once during a tense re-organization discussion, I was warned that “We have real leaders here. Not ones that focus on the fluffy stuff you do. We don’t have time for all of that.” Although I was tempted to respond inappropriately, I understood that evolving the world of leadership required courage. Did I have the courage to respond appropriately? Yet, no one could tell me "just be courageous", I had to learn tricks to build my courage. Join me in this session, to consider and adapt several tips for better responses and self-care that help you build and embrace your courage.

Friday October 18, 2024 2:30pm - 3:15pm EDT

Connor

Have you introduced your teams to the Agile Manifesto, Scrum Framework, and other commonly accepted Agile practices, but they still struggle to release software at the scale of Big Tech companies? There's more to Agile than timeboxes, events, and roles.
In this no-code talk, Brad will explain how the principles of Agile Software Development are meant to be brought to life through advanced development practices. He will introduce the audience to key practices, tools, and philosophies from the DevOps movement—a movement that empowers agile teams to iterate faster and integrate feedback more effectively across the entire development process.

Why Rube Goldberg is so proud of your IT Organization

Friday October 18, 2024 2:30pm - 3:15pm EDT

Hamilton

Internal policies in IT Organizations, especially those in heavily regulated environments, have become overly complicated through reactionary decision making, band-aids, and "that's the way we've always done it" reasoning. We got here by trying to be responsive to the ever-changing needs of the business and using the tools and approaches we know well, but the result often resembles a Rube Goldberg machine that constantly impedes its own best efforts, and the more we try to fix it the worse it gets. In this session we'll talk about the 3 key factors in dismantling the machine and become more Agile.
