Velocity Conference NYC 2014 - Real World DevOpsRodrigo Campos
In a world where agility has become a requirement, business and engineering demands have decreed the death of the “Department of No”. This talk will cover the journey of an IT Operations department from a single DevOps team to a business-wide cultural shift that has affected the way people interact and work with each other.
In order to make sure that our DevOps initiative would be successful, we needed to make changes to the corporate organization, rearrange teams and roles in several areas, and make sure that everyone fully understand where we were being headed to.
All these steps will be covered in this talk that will demonstrate some common pitfalls and misconceptions that jeopardize the DevOps adoption, particularly in large enterprises with several compliancy requirements and some outdated bureaucracy.
Get hands-on advice for rapid Agile prototyping in a product team.
You'll learn:
- How to determine the right depth and breadth for MVP prototypes.
- How to prioritize use cases for prototyping.
- How to elicit the right stakeholder and user feedback.
- How to correctly annotate prototypes for dev and QA.
Communication and Testing: Why You Have Been Wrong All Along!TechWell
You ran all the tests you planned for your team, you reported all the bugs with clear and to the point descriptions, and you sent a weekly email with a professional PowerPoint presentation including graphs and statistics pointing out the risk areas and project issues. However, you still feel the organization is not taking your testing seriously, management is unaware of what your team is achieving—and apparently no one is actually reading your reports. Sound familiar? Everyone else is not the problem; the way you are communicating your testing information is! Join Joel Montvelisky to review some common real-life problems and mistakes testers make while communicating the results of their work—all of which affect the way people treat their testing deliverables. Joel presents a practical model to help testers plan and perform their communications based on the very different needs of their stakeholders. And finally, he shows how you can use correct communication skills to increase the perceived value of the test team to the whole organization.

Do mobile because your customers want information on the go, don't do mobile through an obligation to being an innovator.
Applications of different size, business domain and criticality suffer from a huge set of issues, be it boring enterprise software, “Highly-Loaded” social network or a cozy startup. In this talk Eduards will cover Software Architecture issues that he finds the most prevailing nowadays and what you can do with that. Think big!
How To Do Kick-Ass Software DevelopmentSven Peters
With Kick-Ass Software Development you actually get stuff done. Feedback cycles are short, code quality is awesome and customers get the features they lust after. Less mangers managing, less testers testing and less IT-operators operating. The developers take the power back, making them much happier. Sound like paradise? It is! This session will show you how we do Kick-Ass Software Development at Atlassian.
I talk about how we: use pull requests for better code quality; collaborate fast to develop ideas; avoid meetings to get more stuff done; tighten our feedback loops to fail faster; shorten our release cycles; and work together happily on different continents. It's a great way to develop software and we think it can work in your company, too.

The Trick of Designing User Interfaces that SlayMindfire LLC
Now, the problem every time was the expectation to offer perfect answers, along with supporting reasons. Although my intuition helped me get through on a few, the part I would struggle most was in offering convincing reasons to support my answers. I felt my supposed intuition had some underlying logic and concepts but I needed to reify those. I needed to have constructs that I could use to easily judge any Design, be it a web page, mobile application UI or even a poster.
Visualizing Work: If you can't see it, you can't manage itFernando Cuenca
Presentation delivered at Toronto Agile Conference - Oct 30, 2018
--
Unlike a factory, where we can see work literally moving around, piling up waiting, being worked on, or even deteriorating with time, knowledge workers have to deal with abstract constructs that are largely invisible. Suddenly, answering questions like "what are we working on?" or "how does work get done here" can become tricky.
The basic premise that the first step towards effectively managing knowledge work is to make it visible will not come as a surprise for anyone with some familiarity with Agile. That said, there's more to effective work visualization than a 3-column board showing "To Do | In Progress | Done" columns, and visualizing work items is only the first step.
This session will explore approaches for visualizing otherwise invisible aspects of work, such as commitments, process, rules and, of course, work items, and using them to enable more effective management and collaboration.

Velocity EU 2012 Escalating Scenarios: Outage Handling PitfallsJohn Allspaw
When things go wrong, our judgement is clouded at best, blinded at worst.
In order to successfully navigate a large-scale outage, being aware of potentials gaps in knowledge and context can help make for a better outcome. The Human Factors and Systems Safety community have been studying how people situate themselves, coordinate amongst a team, use tooling, make decisions, and keep their cool under sometimes very stressful and escalating scenarios. We can learn from this research in order to adopt a more mature stance when the s*#t hits the fan.
We’re going to look closely at how people behave under these circumstances using real-world examples and scan what we can learn from High Reliability Organizations(HROs) and fields such as aviation, military, and trauma-driven healthcare.

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).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

(s) Users Response Messaging
31. Example: Coffee!
AWESOME NEW FEATURE
• add coffee (like a tag) to your profile
• others can favorite coffees
• page showing all coffee favorites
• bulk-add coffees to your profile
• search people by their coffee
32. Issue
What could possibly go wrong with the feature launched in
production?
Example:
“The Coffees-You’ve-Favorited page is too expensive.”
34. Comment(s)
Any extra info about this issue here.
Example:
“Because of how we paginate coffee favorites page, they are
somewhat harder than normal favorites. If we do have to turn
this off, we’re saying that we need to re-design it, or it needs
to stay off until the initial burst of traffic from the launch.”
35. Impact
How much is this going to impact the experience of the feature, if
it does become a concern?
Example:
“High”
36. Engineering Response
What will we do to mitigate the issue (i.e. can we gracefully
degrade?)
Example:
“Set disable_coffee_favorites_page = 1”
37. Onsite Messaging
What is the messaging to the community in the forums/blog/etc.,
if this needs graceful degradation?
Example:
“‘The Coffee Favorites page is currently unavailable.’ Or, in the
forums: “We’re working through some issues with displaying
Coffee Favorites, we’ll let you know the status as time goes
on.’”
38. PR
Is the issue so severe that we need PR involved?
Example:
“The CEO sends a press release, apologizing to Folger’s,
Peet’s, and Starbucks with a witty yet calming voice of
explanation and a humble request for patience.”
