Your Challenge
The Agile evangelists are having trouble converting others to the Agile philosophy.
Your team is facing pressure to deliver projects in a smaller time frame. The Waterfall approach is causing projects to go over budget, misunderstanding of project owners’ expectations, and late delivery to the end-customer.
Projects that get implemented successfully may be susceptible to problems as the software gets older and crucial changes are too expensive.
A consolidation roadmap that is based on an easy-to-implement method will ease the burden on resource and infrastructure maintenance.
Our Advice
Critical Insight
Agile is not suitable for all organizations, or all projects. Carefully select pilot projects that have the greatest chance of success and determine the right requirements or risk significant cost overruns to fix problems or roll back development.
An Agile rollout may require peripheral projects to be accelerated.
Agile will modify internal roles and processes. Get ready for change management.
Impact and Result
Agile will improve communication and transparency between teams and stakeholders, which will lead to higher quality products and fluid team dynamics.
The success of the Agile pilot should be used to build the case for an organizational-wide deployment.
In order for your organization to stay competitive, it must place focus on delivering projects at a quicker pace with the right features.

Arthur van der Wees, Arthur's Legal on Making Cloud SLAs readily usable in th...SLA-Ready Network
One of the major challenges to wider uptake of cloud services is lack of clarity about customer risks. Arthur van der Wees from Arthur's Legal explains why we need to create comfort and trust in the cloud, with greater standardisation and transparency so organisations can make an informed decision on what services to use, what to expect and what to trust.
The cloud service level agreement is a key interface between the provider and customer but there are complexities all the way through it, from assessing it, to negotiation and contracting, execution and operation to termination and consequences of termination.
Arthur explains the purpose and value of service level objectives and gives insights into the current maturity level of cloud service providers.

Application Performance Management in the Clouds - Lessons LearnedMichael Kopp
We face the challenge of monitoring and managing performance in clouds every other day. Not only is application performance management different in a cloud, but all clouds are not equal either. This lessons learned session will show how to do APM in several different Clouds (Azure, EC2, VMware private Clouds) and how it differs from more traditional environments. The session will also cover performance monitoring, troubleshooting and tuning in environments where resources are virtually infinite, but application performance is not.

One of the Craig Larman’s Laws of Organizational Behavior says: “Culture follows structure”. This is important to keep in mind when driving organizational changes in a small company, but in a large corporation ignorance of corporate culture, often defined by endless management layers and compliance policies, impacts success of transformation to a highest measure.
My presentation tells a few stories of large scale transformations at top 10 investment banks and our key takeaways on pitfalls and good practices of organizational change in a corporate world.
Agile concepts for quality and process engineers for slideshareYuval Yeret
Excerpt from a session introducing agile concepts for a group of quality engineers in a big enterprise undergoing an agile transition.
The aim was to expose Quality/Process engineers to the concepts of agility and emphasize the impact on process/methodology development, the approach of evolution vs big design up front and its impact on their work. I used a lot of the classic agile examples (a lot of them by Henrik Kniberg) and adjusted for the development of methodology, to show that actually the agile approach should be discovered using an agile process.
Also covers some complexity thinking aspects.
And of course - this is not limited to methodology for IT/product development, but to many kinds of change management.

Rise and fall of Story Points. Capacity based planning from the trenches.Mikalai Alimenkou
Люди в мире Agile используют Story Points - для Agile коучей и тренеров это самый простой способ объяснить, как следует проводить оценку и планирование в «новом мире». Но тогда эта простая концепция нарушает реальные практические кейсы. В настоящее время команды состоят из очень специализированных людей, работающих над бэкендом, фронтэндом, тестировании, инфраструктуре и прочим. Для них почти невозможно иметь общий уровень сложности. Это только одна из проблем, которые мы собираемся осветить в этом докладе.
Чтобы оставаться конструктивным, а не просто старомодным парнем из XP, Николай поделится своим опытом с более точной и прагматичной техникой оценки/планирования - планированием на основе возможностей.
We have spent many years testing our applications and systems manually and with test automation tools. During this time many bug root causes have been classified and could be detected automatically with special static analysis tools. Most of them could be applied at the early stages of development even before code is integrated into the main development branch. In this talk, I will go through available solutions and demonstrate what kinds of issues may be detected automatically reducing the time and effort of traditional testing.
Modern CI/CD in the microservices world with KubernetesMikalai Alimenkou
In this talk, we will go through the design process of modern CI/CD for the microservices-based system with Kubernetes support. We will discuss how to verify consistency between microservices, apply different levels of quality gates and promote artifacts between environments. Thanks to Kubernetes we will review different approaches of environment resources optimization for development needs during CI/CD cycles.
Saga about distributed business transactions in microservices worldMikalai Alimenkou
Most of people nowadays think microservices architecture is a great way to build any system. They visit conference talks, read books and review tutorials, where ‘hello world’ applications are built just in several minutes using microservices approach. But the reality is not so wonderful and one of the biggest pain is hidden inside distributed business transactions. In monolith application this topic is almost completely covered with DB level transactions. In distributed world you have to face many issues trying to implement reliable and consistent business logic.
In this talk we will review different types of problems related to distributed business transactions, popular SAGA pattern, frameworks and techniques to simplify your life without compromising quality of the system.
Effectiveness tips from Kubernetes trenches by Captain ObviousMikalai Alimenkou
Nowadays almost everybody knows about Kubernetes, some teams are using it and some are only dreaming about it. Despite the popularity, Kubernetes is not simple and there are so many ways of abuse this peaceful technology. In this talk I would like to present quite obvious set of tips, based on failures and ineffectiveness at different companies I have worked with during last several years.
Ride the database in JUnit tests with Database RiderMikalai Alimenkou
For a long time DB related testing in Java world has been a real pain and most developers tried to reduce number of such tests as much as possible. With good in-memory database implementations like H2, schema migration solutions like Liquibase or Flyway, containerization with libraries like TestContainers, database management is now much simpler. But test data management is still a pain. Some developers use SQL dumps, others insert data via JPA/JDBC or rely on prepared data sets. Good old DBUnit may be a good option, but it is not so developer friendly and not adopted well for modern annotations driven development style. Database Rider closes the gap between modern Java development environment and DBUnit, bringing DBUnit closer to your JUnit tests, so database testing will feel like a breeze. In addition to flexible data sets management this library provides other useful features: programmatic data sets definition, leak hunting, data sets export, constraints management, etc. As contributor and loyal user for many years, I would like to share my experience with Database Rider and demonstrate how to make database testing a fun again!
Wastful waste or why everything is so slow in developmentMikalai Alimenkou
I think almost everybody experienced cases when things are moving very slowly in IT companies or teams. You have many people, talented engineers, Agile process and development speed is still below expectations. We try to focus on performance and efficiency last 10 years, improving our practices and tools. But we are still there in terms of speed when they are applied to real life cases. How is it possible? In this talk we will review the concept of waste circles and understand what are the main sources of time waste in development process. This concept would help you to check your processess, focus on right things and achieve much better results in your organization or team.
Nowadays traditional layered monolithic architecture in Java world is not so popular as 5-10 years ago. I remember how we wrote tons of code for each layer repeating almost the same parts for every application. Add unit and integration testing to understand how much time and efforts has been spent on repeatable work. All cool ideas around DDD (domain driven design) and Hexagonal Architecture was just a nice theory because reality hasn’t allow us to implement it easily. Even Dependency Injection with Spring framework was completely focused on traditional layered approach, not even talking about JavaEE platform.
Today we have Spring Boot ecosystem covering most of our needs for integration with almost all possible technologies and microservices architectural trend, enabling completely new approach to build Java applications around domain model. It is so natural to build Java domain-oriented services and connect them with external world using ports and adapters, that Hexagonal Architecture is almost enabled by default. You just need to switch your way of thinking…

DevOps checklist or how to understand where is your team in DevOps landscape ...Mikalai Alimenkou
DevOps become a buzzword in a last few years. Several companies, development and product teams have achieved quite impressive results in this area making cultural changes, transforming their processes and practices, introducing new roles, tools and techniques.
Do you think is achievable for you team or it’s still a bunch of drama? There is no common approach for measuring achievements and understanding how much DevOps’ich the current team/company is. In this talk I will provide attendees with basic checklist to start with and some reliable tools/techniques to monitor progress of “DevOps transformation”.

Almost any application or software system manages data. It is hard to imagine test automation that is not affected by this fact. There are many differenct approaches how to prepare system under test, providing predefined test data: use application UI, invoke API methods, run business logic directly, access DB from test scenarios, etc. In this talk we will review most of existing approaches, starting from the easiest and the most popular ones and finishing with really tricky ways to manage your test data for large distributed systems. There is no ideal solution for every case or silver bullet, but I hope your toolset will become wider after visiting this talk.
Agile antipatterns: review after 10 years of practiceMikalai Alimenkou
Вот уже более 10 лет Agile движение шагает по Украине и стучится практически в каждую компанию. Но приносят ли новые процессы, принципы и практики реальную практическую пользу? Получается ли изменить к лучшему команды, проекты, компании? Я в роли консультанта за эти 10 лет поработал с более чем 100 компаниями, поэтому повидал много хорошего и плохого. В данном докладе хочется пробежаться по основным проблемам, сложностям и анти-паттернам в переходе отечественных компаний на "Agile рельсы". Мы рассмотрим какие практики не очень хорошо приживаются, от чего страдает большинство команд, какие основные препятствия встречают на своем пути и как умудряются их обходить. Я надеюсь, доклад поможет зародиться множеству интересных дискуссий.

Бытовая классификация тестировщиков с точки зрения разработчикаMikalai Alimenkou
Тестировщики часто говорят о противостоянии и конфликтах с разработчиками. Но ведь есть команды, где все живут в мире и согласии. Видимо что-то тут не так? Я хочу поговорить о том, как тестировщиков видят сами разработчики. В докладе будет проведена забавная классификация. Кроме известного всем тестировщика-обезьянки будут представлены тестировщик-муха, тестировщик-нацист, тестировщик-панда и многие другие герои. Высможете лишний раз задуматься над тем, как вас видят со стороны и, возможно, изменить ситуацию к лучшему.
Доклад будет также полезен менеджерам проектов и лидерам команд. Вы сможете быстрее распознавать те или иные шаблоны поведения тестировщикови принимать меры по повышению уровня командной работы. Приходите, будет интересно!
Code Review tool for personal effectiveness and waste analysisMikalai Alimenkou
Usually it is hard to analyze personal effectiveness and detect wastes in development process because developer’s work decomposition is not transparent and available for analysis. As a good sample of ineffective process imagine developer, who spends 1 day on task implementation and then reimplements it several times according to code review notes during next 2 days. Or another developer, who is waiting for code review during 2 days, switching context to other tasks, finally gets notes and switches back to initial task, trying to refresh all details in his head. And so on and so forth…
Code review tool usage helps to aggregate lots of useful information about any code change at any stage (static analysis, code review, rework, acceptance, integration into main branch). In this talk I’m going to demontrate how this information could be used for detailed analysis of development effectiveness and wastes detection. Based on mentioned analysis you could implement many improvements for your development process and then measure their success.
Funny stories and anti-patterns from DevOps landscapeMikalai Alimenkou
During last several years DevOps became strong buzzword used almost in every project, team and company. But almost everywhere it is used in very funny and strange context. For example, existing ops guys are renamed to DevOps just to sell them to the client for more money. Or DevOps is used as new job title for some magically powerful person who is able to operate cloud environment and modern infrastructure related tools, leading team of old school ops and participating in management meetings. In this talk I’m going to review all different anti-patterns and bad practices in DevOps landscape using stories from my personal experience as Delivery Manager and independent consultant.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
