Enterprise architecture (EA) can potentially promote a common business vision within your organization, provide guidance to improve both business and IT decision making, and improve IT efficiencies. Unfortunately many EA teams struggle to provide these benefits, often because they are perceived as ivory tower or being too difficult to work with.
The adoption of disciplined agile and lean strategies that are based on collaboration, enablement, and streamlining the flow of work are the keys to EA success. Disciplined strategies that produce light-weight, yet still sufficient, artifacts are the key to your success. This presentation explores both the success factors and failure factors surrounding EA, pragmatic strategies for a lean/agile approach to EA, and how EA is supported and enhanced by the Disciplined Agile framework. This isn’t your grandfather’s EA strategy.

Implementing Cloud-Based DevOps for Distributed Agile ProjectsTechWell
Cloud-based development, delivery, and deployment environments are the future of IT operations. Thomas Stiehm shares the hard-learned lessons of setting up and running cloud-based solutions that implement DevOps for geographically distributed agile projects. Thomas describes how to best leverage the cloud to enable your teams to use it effectively. Learn why cloud software delivery is different from traditional software delivery environments, and how to optimize your platform and team to get the most out of the cloud. Geographically-distributed software delivery teams are now the norm for large projects, and the cloud is a perfect enabler to level the playing field for your distributed teams and to give them all the same ability to achieve high productivity. Since the road to the cloud isn’t always paved, learn many of the trade-offs that must be made to implement cloud-based delivery and discover the situations that will derail a move to cloud-based development.

Putting the Pro in Process Design with Donna Knapp - an ITSM Academy WebinarITSM Academy, Inc.
Presenter: Donna Knapp, Curriculum Development Manager, ITSM Academy
Movements such as DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) are introducing new ways of working for IT organizations. For these movements to succeed, organizations must continuously improve and in some cases completely reengineer their IT Service Management ( ITSM) processes. This session takes a modern look at process design and improvement and managing the associated culture change. Take away five key lessons learned, and five proven process design tips.
As Allen Brown admitted in my August 2013 Forbes article on TOGAF, “EA needs to catch up with the agile approach, not ‘Agile as such’.” This confusion over the word “agile” is actually one of the challenges with EA today. Brown continued: “‘Agile’ is a loaded term and largely associated with building solutions rather than the Enterprise Architecture.”
So, what does "agile" -- or in some quarters, "Agile" -- mean today, and how do we apply Agile to architecture? Most people use the phrase "Agile Architecture" to refer to software architecture appropriate for Agile software development projects -- not EA at all.
Nevertheless, there is a growing Agile EA movement that extends the core principles of the Agile manifesto to EA more broadly. This approach deemphasizes the role of frameworks and other artifacts, and instead treats the enterprise as a complex adaptive system.
Agile EA thus leverages complex systems theory, including the role of emergent properties, to rethink how organizations innovate and otherwise deal with change within the context of market and regulatory constraints.

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:

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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).

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
