Managing change in an agile Salesforce development environmentRoland Bullivant
As larger and heavily customised Salesforce applications become ever more critical to enterprises, so the importance of being able to govern, integrate and manage their data grows. This is especially relevant in projects where an agile methodology is employed and where it is vital that the successive versions of the Salesforce data model can be compared and managed.
Safyr is unique in its ability to allow data professionals to access and utilise the metadata in large Salesforce implementations.
A Very Large Enterprise Agile Transformation: Lessons Learned at SalesforceTechWell
When the agile consultants leave, how do you ensure that the enterprise agile transformation sticks, evolves, and grows throughout the organization? What challenges will you face? What support must be in place to address the challenges? Like software products, the real cost of an agile transformation occurs after the initial rollout. Salesforce.com has sustained an enterprise agile transformation for more than seven years. Mike Register shares the major challenges Salesforce faced and how they addressed them―challenges that include scaling coaching within a very large enterprise (230 teams and growing rapidly) and effectively emphasizing the foundation principles behind the practices. Mike describes what has worked and not worked during their agile journey. He enumerates the primary support structures that need to be in place to support long term enterprise agile transformation. Mike also explores the cultural and leadership aspects necessary to support large scale agile adoption that sticks.

Agile at Salesforce From theory to practice, how to be agile at scaleSalesforce Engineering
Talk given by Pitch Chevalier, Director of SW Engineering, Search, at Salesforce, at Agile Grenoble 2015.
The story of Agile at Salesforce started in 2006 when the engineering teams were facing several blockers, delays and quality issues. The adoption of an agile methodology inspired by scrum, common to all teams, backed by senior management, lead to having shorter and predictable development cycles with three releases per year, deployed to all customers. The approach had a big focus on initiative and autonomy giving teams all latitude. It was key to the adoption and the agile transformation.
In order to support this new organization based on a large number of small teams, working independently, distributed across sites and different locations, a set of common agile tools was being deployed allowing teams to manage their projects, their delivery artifacts and more important to collaborate seamlessly.
This talk starts with a high-level description of the ADM (Agile Development Methodology), lessons learned and issues to overcome. It might even point to new issues that remain to be addressed. The second part of the presentation showcases the Salesforce Agile Accelerator, that can also be used by our customers.
It's no secret that scaling agile is a challenge both culturally and operationally. So, how do other companies do it? How do they achieve success and what do their journeys look like? Bree Davies, Portfolio for Jira Product Manager, will detail one such case study of how a large insurance company with 12 software teams collaborate, plan and track their work to deliver value to their customers continuously. You will hear about a company's transformation to scale agile and how tools such as Jira Software and Portfolio for Jira have been key to their operational and cultural success. Plus, you'll walk away with tips and tricks to use Portfolio for Jira efficiently for your own long term planning.
Building Trust for Adoption at Enterprise ScaleAtlassian
Amadeus is the leader in technology solutions for the global travel and tourism industry. The Atlassian suite is integral to fostering collaboration, efficiency, and effectiveness among Amadeus' widely distributed teams. As a large company with a significant amount of existing homegrown tooling and processes, it was imperative for Amadeus to be able to integrate Atlassian products with existing tools to ease adoption and maximize overall return. Additionally, as they're mission-critical products to business, scalability, high availability, and resiliency across Atlassian products was imperative to fostering trust across the organization.
In this session, we will share how we built trust for our 14,000+ Amadeus employees in over 20 geographical locations, by improving efficiency, easing integration with existing solutions, and increasing the overall operability and scalability.

Let’s demystify the Scaled Agile Framework and a lot of the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt) going around about it. Let’s explore when and why SAFe can be useful, What’s unique about it compared to other approaches to scaling, what is causing all the bad publicity and how can we make sure we implement it effectively if we decide it’s right for us.
Talk for Agile Maine Day 2017
The realities of working in an enterprise (distributed teams, multiple stakeholders, etc) present a series of challenges when trying to plan and scale agile development. Learn how Rosetta Stone knit together a dozen existing JIRA Agile boards into a coherent program-level view of their Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) release train using JIRA Portfolio – without sacrificing team autonomy.
While there are a many frameworks available to scale Agile it is important to see if these prescriptions address the real problems that an organization have while scaling up. Does one size fits all? Is it worth adopting a framework and then retrofitting your organization into it or it makes more sense to understand the dynamics of your organization, understand the existing challenges and business objectives and carve out a scaling approach, keeping Agile principles intact, that suits the organizations needs best.

Businesses routinely attempt to accomplish too much and quickly lose focus when the next fire erupts or a new "shiny ball" appears.
Strategy Deployment (also known as hoshin kanri and policy deployment) is a highly effective means for creating and maintaining focus on the projects and improvement activities that lead to outstanding business performance.
Though Strategy Deployment (SD) was developed in the 1950's, it's experiencing a resurgence due to the growing popularity of Lean practices and SD's vital role in creating the climate for success.
In this webinar, you'll learn how to:
• Prioritize the laundry list of what you COULD focus on as an organization and create a "must do, can't fail" list of what you WILL focus on.
• Gain organization-wide alignment, the key to successful plan execution.
• Manage the plan to keep distractions at bay and generate the level of results all organizations are capable of.
In short, you'll learn how to accomplish meaningful improvement in a way that aligns rather than divides, and puts improvement in its rightful place as an integral part of achieving overarching business goals.

Traditionally, businesses like banking and telecom focused high on standardization and national regulation. The development lead times were long. Consequently, the solution providers developed capabilities to influence standards, develop products and interact with the end-service providers. The changing business landscape challenges providers to keep pace. In the slow-moving market, providers honed the ability to run major multi—year projects. Solution Providers became predictable development machinery with extensive mechanisms to enable predictability and control at the expense of flexibility and customer closeness. This led to organizational setups focusing on the alignment with the project structures and deepening the competencies in narrow areas both in the product and in the functional dimensions. The result? Organizational silos with multiple related hand-over challenges.
My talk will cover solutions to these challenges when multiple teams come together to deliver a solution.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

How we’ve applied agile organizationally at scale Challenges of scale Agile can be done at scale
At salesforce we have scaled both deep and wide. When we refer to deep, we mean that we have embedded agility very deep into the enterprise and have tackled and continue to face some of the more difficult enterprise scaling issues. Most of out talk today will be focused on specific areas where we go deep. However, before we get to that, we wanted to touch on organizational breadth of our agility. At salesforce our Technology and Products organization is 100%. That means that over 1000 people and more than 100 teams actively use ADM. There is no other methodology in use to deliver work. In fact, ADM has gained such a strong reputation inside salesforce that we are now starting to see other parts of the organization apply ADM—with Marketing being the most recent case.
Steve just walked you through our transformation in R&D to ADM and I’ll talk you through our Internal IT story. After two years of successful use of ADM in R&D, our leadership started to ask why we were not using it in IT. The fact is, IT pre-ADM suffered from many of the same issues that ADM had specifically addressed for us in ADM --too much work, too many priorities --Lack of visibility on progress --Difficulty resourcing projects and skill set gaps --Lack delivery predictability --Late feedback from internal customers I use this image because for many business customers, IT is a bit of a black hole. Requests come in and after some period of time, work comes out the other end (often after many months where the progress can only be seen through status reports).
So, we rolled it out to IT—an org of over 125 people who do three main type of work: application development (like R&D), vendor integrations using third party software and infrastructure projects like office build outs. We modeled the rollout on R&D and here are the basic steps: --firstly, gain executive buy-in and support. This might take a long time and requires work but is critically important. --step two: figure out your teams. When you are going from waterfall to agile, it’s common to find that your organization isn’t staffed correctly. For example, in IT we had lots of project managers but not enough delivery folks (developers, QA). 3 months Determine teams Get executive buy-in Train, train, train Launch teams Coach, adapt, correct Let go
Teams did not work well together: Break down silos Use same language ADM Everywhere Too many priorities Lack of bottom up feedback and visibility
Working with TechOps has caused us to stretch our understanding and application of ADM. TechOps is infrastructure and operations (software and infrastructure) Not only is the work in TechOps different than other parts of the org but also the culture is different.
Scaling across the org was hard and it is a constant work in progress. --each org has different needs, approaches and variations which require support But even within these challenges, going deep is harder than wide. We strive to stay lightweight, respect the autonomy and authority of teams, while increasing collaboration and
