Do You Struggle With Employee Recognition?Elodie A.
Recognizing employees is one of the most overlooked facets of managements that even great leaders sometimes forget about. Without a good employee recognition strategy, people will feel unappreciated and build up stress.
In fact, the number 1 reason why most Americans leave their jobs is that they don’t feel appreciated . The last thing you want is to have high employee turnover because of poor employee recognition.

UX is a broad field and designers are increasingly playing a strategic role in many companies. Be that designer.
Businesses are increasingly adopting user-centered approaches to create experiences, moving UX design to be one of the core activities driving the company strategy and operations.
This is an incredibly valuable opportunity that we designers can take to step up and contribute to create the great experiences and services they envision, taking our vision, tools and understanding to a different level. But we need to learn the new skills to play at this table, a table that's often speaking a different language with a lot of politics and different stakeholders.

Democratizing Online Controlled Experiments at Booking.com - Lukas VermeerSavage Marketing
There is extensive literature about online controlled experiments, both on the statistical methods available to analyze experiment results as well as on the infrastructure built by several large scale Internet companies but also on the organizational challenges of embracing online experiments to inform product development.
At Booking.com we have been conducting evidenced based product development using online experiments for more than ten years. Our methods and infrastructure were designed from their inception to reflect Booking.com culture, that is, with democratization and decentralization of experimentation and decision making in mind.
In this presentation, Lukas will explain how building a central repository of successes and failures to allow for knowledge sharing, having a generic and extensible code library which enforces a loose coupling between experimentation and business logic, monitoring closely and transparently the quality and the reliability of the data gathering pipelines to build trust in the experimentation infrastructure, and putting in place safeguards to enable anyone to have end to end ownership of their experiments have allowed such a large organization as Booking.com to truly and successfully democratize experimentation.

At Booking.com we have been conducting evidenced based product development using online experiments for more than ten years. Our methods and infrastructure were designed from their inception to reflect Booking.com culture, that is, with democratization and decentralization of experimentation and decision making in mind.
In this talk, based on this paper with the same title, we explain how our approach has allowed such a large organization as Booking.com to truly and successfully democratize experimentation.
When going into the development of a software product, a possible source of mistake is the incorrect evaluation of the complexity that lies behind an idea , as well as a clutter coming from the massive amounts of technologies enabled. This presentation explains a possible way to deal with such issues.

Roleplay dialog:
Version 1 (not the best)
PM : How is this new chart progressing? You have been working on it for two weeks and it needs to be complete by end of week.
Dev round A:
I'm working as fast as I can! I'm trying to get it done by the end of the week.
PM : Well, I'll check in with you again in a few hours.
Dev round A : I need more time than that, why don't you give me a day and then try me again?
PM : I need this to be done by Friday and it's already Thursday. How much longer do you need?
Dev round A : I don't know, but longer than a few hours..
__ Version 2 (better)
PM : How is this new chart progressing? You have been working on it for two weeks and it needs to be complete by end of week.
Dev round B : The chart consists of the plot, the axes and the css styles we're applying from the design mockup. I have completed the plot, and I estimate that the axis and applying styles will each take about 6 hours to complete. The plot took me longer than I expected. I think we should plan to demo the full chart on Monday.
PM : Can you update me when the axis and styles are done?
Dev round B : Sure. Does the business need to give us feedback on the plot, axis or styles? We can demo the plot now, the axis will be ready in the morning, and the styles will be applied and ready to demo on Monday morning.
PM : No, I think we need the complete product. I'll verify the don't need to give feedback on the pieces.
Dev round B : Ok, I'll send you a note when they are finished tomorrow evening, or I will update you before that if I run into any blockers.

How to foster team collaboration at your workplaceOrangescrum
Orangescrum helps you track your time & resources and organizes them efficiently and facilitates end to end team collaboration across your organization.
With projects springing up at a dizzying pace, it’s hard not to feel like you’re falling behind the curve, or that you’re somehow not doing cloud native development correctly. Breaking out of this “container shame spiral” can be tough. It starts with being better equipped to evaluate projects and trends, and make better decisions about when is the right time to start adopting a new project. Otherwise, you’re all bound to stay stuck in a spiral of reacting to every new announcement. Guiding you through the last few years of container fervor, Laura will help you understand the current landscape and emerging trends, and introduce you to a framework that will help you make sense of all the rapid innovation happening around you.
Wouldn't it be great for a new developer on your team to have their dev environment totally set up on their first day? What about having your CI tests running in the background while you work on new features? What about having the confidence that your dev environment mirrors testing and prod? Containers enable this to become reality, along with other great benefits like keeping dependencies nice and tidy and making packaged code easier to share. Come learn about the ways containers can help you build and ship software easily.
Interested in learning how to set up a Kubernetes cluster and use automation to test and deploy an app?
During this presentation, Laura Frank will take a deep dive into CI/CD best practices with Kubernetes and Amazon EKS. You will be introduced to AmazonEKS, Amazon’s Kubernetes service and CloudBees CodeShip, a flexible continuous integration (CI)/continuous delivery(CD) tool that runs your builds in the cloud. Designed with developers in mind, both EKS and CodeShip when used together reduce the complexity of running an app with Kubernetes.
Attend this webinar to learn:
- An overview of Amazon EKS
- How to set up your own CI/CD pipeline
- How to leverage CI/CD best practices with Kubernetes
Scalable and Available Services with Docker and KubernetesLaura Frank Tacho
Breaking down your monolith into microservices — or starting fresh with a microservice architecture on a new project — is only half the battle. The next step is making your containerized microservice application fault tolerant and highly available, but how do you get there? How do you go from your local development machine to a production-grade cluster? See how container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes and Swarm can be essential assets for your production workloads, and learn how to replace bottlenecks and single points of failure with highly available, scalable microservice deployments.
Join Laura Frank and Stephen Day as they explain and examine technical concepts behind container orchestration systems, like distributed consensus, object models, and node topology. These concepts build the foundation of every modern orchestration system, and each technical explanation will be illustrated using Docker’s SwarmKit as a real-world example. Gain a deeper understanding of how orchestration systems like SwarmKit work in practice, and walk away with more insights into your production applications.
Everything You Thought You Already Knew About OrchestrationLaura Frank Tacho
Do you understand how quorum, consensus, leader election, and different scheduling algorithms can impact your running application? Could you explain these concepts to the rest of your team? Come learn about the algorithms that power all modern container orchestration platforms, and walk away with actionable steps to keep your highly available services highly available.
Building Efficient Parallel Testing Platforms with DockerLaura Frank Tacho
We often use containers to maintain parity across development, testing, and production environments, but we can also use containerization to significantly reduce time needed for testing by spinning up multiple instances of fully isolated testing environments and executing tests in parallel. This strategy also helps you maximize the utilization of infrastructure resources. The enhanced toolset provided by Docker makes this process simple and unobtrusive, and you’ll see how Docker Engine, Registry, and Compose can work together to make your tests fast.

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

13. Fun Fact
Commuting to and from work is
typically the unhappiest time in a
person’s day
14. The Real Happiness Equation
autonomy
+
no interruptions
+
no time pressure
happiness =
15. – DR DANIEL SGROI, UNIVERSITY OF WARWICK
“The driving force seems to be that
happier workers use the time they
have more effectively, increasing the
pace at which they can work without
sacrificing quality.”
16. There are several areas within
development where we can
maximize for happiness ✨
37. – MELVIN CONWAY
“Organizations which design systems
are constrained to produce designs
which are copies of the
communication structures of these
organizations.”
38. Conway’s Law
Any piece of software reflects
the organizational structure that
produced it
39. If you have three engineering teams
working on one piece of software,
you’ll probably end up with three
pieces of software
56. • The team shares responsibility for deployment, and each
engineer is empowered to control the flow of his or her code
into production
• Your customers are always getting the best product you have
to offer
64. Urgency is a measure of how quickly
the task must be completed.
65. A P0 incident is urgent, and
communication for this incident
requires interrupting people in order to
accomplish the task
66. – NICO APPEL, TIGHTOPS.COM
“You pay for urgency with
interruption; and you should
understand whether or not you are
getting a good deal.”
67. Have policies, training, and docs that
allow each developer to solve
incidents assigned to them.
68. Incident 💥
PagerDuty wakes me up 🚨
I wake my boss up, because I don’t have access
to production logs without his sign off 💩
My boss opens a ticket with the NOC 😫
NOC gives me temporary log/deploy access ✅
I fix stuff 🐛
I merge and manually trigger Jenkins 👔 tasks to deploy
Verification 🏆
69. With a better system in place, I can
have more autonomy and reduce
the duration of the interruption
70. PagerDuty wakes me up 🚨
I fix stuff 🐛
I merge my fix and it deploys automatically 🔁
Verification 🏆
Incident 💥
Sleep 😴
Post-mortem 📖
71. – CAPTAIN OBVIOUS
“If an engineer is on call, make sure
he or she has access to logs, metrics,
and the ability to deploy new code to
production.”
