The Agile Enterprise: The Role of Leadership & Organization Health in Scaling...Cprime
Â
The Agile Enterprise is nimble and robust. Responsive to an ever-changing, high-speed marketplace, it anticipates customer needs and wants. Its capacity for innovation delights customers and employees alike. Implementing agile for software development is vital and not enough for full-scale agility. At scale, a company needs to be agile-informed in its purpose, structure, processes and culture. This allows it to use business agility—a shared understanding that generates a new way of thinking, working and delivering value—as a competitive advantage. The organizational health essential to enterprise agility occurs by intentional design: a top-down commitment to embody transformational leadership. In this webinar, you’ll learn:
· The two key, complementary value cycles that constitute Enterprise Agility
· Why the Agile Enterprise depends on Transformational Leadership
· The four organizational disciplines of the Agile Enterprise

Agile Testing: The Role Of The Agile TesterDeclan Whelan
Â
This presentation provides an overview of the role of testers on agile teams.
In essence, the differences between testers and developers should blur so that focus is the whole team completing stories and delivering value.
Testers can add more value on agile teams by contributing earlier and moving from defect detection to defect prevention.
Minimum Viable Agile is a search for Agile practices and ceremonies, informed by Lean and Agile theory, that produces the maximum amount of customer value, with the least amount of effort.
(Or Just Enough practices and ceremonies to be effective).

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
Â
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Â
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

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Â
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:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Why drives motivation for action.It is a purpose, cause or belief.It is why we get out of bed in the morning. Why we care.It is NOT to make money, in the same way breathing is not the reason we live.
Systems Thinking.Complex Systems have a purpose which drives their behaviour (through elements and interactions)The Magic Roundabout (Swindon) is complex.The WHAT is scary, but has high throughput and low accident rate (WHY). Its also Resilient when there is a problem.http://www.flickr.com/photos/zapthedingbat/1799254671/
WHY is usually to satisfy customer demand.You should understand demand, and know value and failure demand.Failure demand is when a customer takes more than 1 ticket for the same request.
