A Whole Team Approach to Quality in Continuous Delivery - Lisa CrispinEqual Experts
Watch the video at https://www.equalexperts.com/expert-talks/a-whole-team-approach-to-quality-in-continuous-delivery/
It’s not uncommon for teams practicing, or moving towards, continuous delivery to face a growing backlog of customer-reported bugs and struggle to maintain their deployment cadence. If a team has testers, the testers may be expected to continue with their same testing activities, without any thought as to how those can be fit into CD. Teams without testing specialists often struggle with insufficient coverage from their automated regression tests, and they may miss serious problems entirely because of inadequate exploratory testing.
How can teams build confidence to release small changes so frequently? It’s not just about testing, it’s about finding ways to build quality into the product. This interactive session will introduce:
• a pipeline visualization exercise teams can do to find ways to fit in all testing activities, including manual ones, and shorten feedback loops
• using a test suite canvas to determine the minimum automated tests needed
• ways testing specialists help teams prevent defects and transfer testing skills across the team
This is a session for everyone on the software delivery team, who may or may not have experience with continuous delivery and deployment.

Jumping off the hamster wheel with KanbanJulia Wester
You're running and running and running but the scenery never changes. You never actually get to your destination. So, you run faster and faster thinking that if you just try harder then you'll get there. Do you feel like you're living your life in a hamster wheel? You're not alone. Many teams face conditions that keep them feeling exactly the same way.
This presentation walks through the challenges from my 1st development manager role, but is presented as a holistic story by including the challenges and changes of the business we were embedded with. Specifically, unsustainable amounts of work, a constant barrage of emergencies, feeling forced into the percentage game, and high levels of specialization.
Defending against CDD: Chaos-Driven DeliveryJulia Wester
Have you heard of TDD? Well, many teams struggle with CDD: Chaos-Driven Delivery. That is, teams struggle with how to handle the constant onslaught of overwhelming amounts of work and begin to lose hope. The good news is that if you understand operating systems, you already know a great deal about how to tame the chaos!
Process management is an integral part of an operating system. The OS makes decisions about scheduling, sharing information between jobs, handling interrupts and multi-tasking. It also has to manage the resources of a process and be concerned with process synchronization, just as we mere humans do. This presentation will show you how to apply common concepts from operating system process management to the way teams process work.

In this presentation, which covers blocker clustering, service-delivery review and fitness criteria metrics, you will discover some techniques for identifying and mitigating risk. The talk is based on software-delivery experiences at both the delivery-team and management levels.
Agile for the Masses: How to Make Any Team More Effective - John WetenhallAtlassian
In this talk, we will demonstrate how Atlassian's Collaboration Product Marketing Team has adopted the agile methodology. We'll cover how we think about "shipping products," how we plan our work with quarterly goals and biweekly sprints, and how we reflect with retrospectives.
Baseball and Video Delivery: How BAMTech Uses Jira Software to ScaleAtlassian
BAMTech (previously, MLB Advanced Media) is scaling to deliver video streaming for baseball and is growing its roster of sports, news and entertainment clients. Managing both business and development needs in one system takes a lot of communication and teamwork. Without the right tools, it can quickly become chaos. Join Judette Platz, Program Manager for Mobile and Kristy Saunders, Program Director for Connected Devices, to learn how BAMTech uses Jira Software, Confluence, and other marketplace apps to close communication gaps between teams, increase transparency, and improve collaboration.
How Atlassian's User Research Went Agile (and So Can Yours)Atlassian
In late 2015, we set up Atlassian Atlab: a low-budget customer research space that tightly integrates into the Agile sprint process. What began as an experiment quickly became an indispensable part of our company’s design process. Atlab is now international, run in all of our offices, gathering input from about 200 customers every month.
In this talk, we will teach you why agile research is a crucial part of building great customer experiences, how to create stakeholder buy-in for your efforts, best practices for conducting research, and what to do with your findings. We will also teach you how to set up your very own Atlab. Warning: it’s very cheap, and easier than you may expect!

Why combining methodologies may be the Agile marketing magic bullet. These slides from MarTech San Francisco 2017 include a walkthrough of a 4-part Scrumban Kickstart event, along with stats about Agile marketing methodologies and their uses.
Traditional approaches to quality and risk management involve quality gates, change control boards, feature freeze and code freeze milestones, and independent QA or Test groups. These approaches stabilize quality at by sacrificing agility.
Yet buggy fragile code is even more dangerous for Agile teams where so much is changing so often. Quality and risk management are critically important for agility.
This leads to the inevitable question: if the traditional approaches to quality and risk management don't work in an Agile context, what does?
Practices vary across organizations, but all successful teams emphasize the same underlying principles of fast feedback, high visibility, collaboration, and alignment. This talk examines various approaches Agile teams have taken to increase quality, mitigate risk, and ultimately ensure they are delivering the highest possible value for their stakeholders.
Resolve Incidents Faster: Transforming Your Incident Management ProcessAtlassian
Incident response teams are evolving, thanks to DevOps, agile, and today’s demand for always-on services. But, what’s the best way to respond when you’re faced with a complex mix of systems, software, and teams? Is there a way to respond faster, collaborate better, and continuously improve your incident management process?
Join Simon Kubica, Product Manager for Opsgenie, as he uncovers best practices that’ll streamline every stage of your response effort. See how Atlassian, Amazon and Google enable collaboration between support, operations and development, and learn how to leverage automation and conduct effective postmortems. Plus, Simon will show live demos on how you can implement these tips in Opsgenie, Statuspage, and Jira Service Desk.
Presented at Flowcon SF on Nov 1, 2013
Nothing interrupts the continuous flow of value like bad surprises that require immediate attention: major defects; service outages; support escalations; or even scrapping just-completed capabilities that don't actually meet business needs.
You already know that the sooner you can discover a problem, the sooner and more smoothly you can remedy it. Agile practices involve testing early and often. However feedback comes in many forms, only some of which are traditionally considered testing. Continuous integration, acceptance testing with users, even cohort analysis to validate business hypotheses are all examples of feedback cycles.
This talk examines the many forms of feedback, the questions each can answer, and the risks each can mitigate. We'll take a fresh look at the churn and disruption created by having high feedback latency, when the time between taking an action and discovering its effect is too long. We'll also consider how addressing "bugs" that may not be detracting from the actual business value can distract us from addressing real risks. Along the way we'll consider fundamental principles that you can apply immediately to keep your feedback cycles healthy and happy.
Flow From Blockers: How to Use Blocker Clustering to Improve Predictability, ...Matthew Philip

Patterns for preparing a Feature Backlog for PI Planning for an Agile Release Train.
It’s easy to fall into the trap of measuring everything, and achieving nothing. Or just measuring the wrong thing and getting stuck in a local optimum. We’ve seen how difficult this can be for a software development progress. Continuous Delivery, due to its more technical focus, can seem to be much easier to measure. But which measurements are important? What do they signal? How do we take action? And when should we perhaps do without?
In this talk I’ll discuss those subjects, and how the answers change along the way: from a small team to large scale; from beginning with agile to full continuous deployment; and from the team’s day-to-day decisions to the high-level management report.
Metrics and measurements are hard. For Continuous Delivery, due to its more technical focus, that can seem much easier. But which measurements are important? What do they signal? How do we take action? And when should we do without?

Reducing Tickets and Crushing SLAs with StatusPageAtlassian
Downtime is a fact of life, and can be a great competitive advantage for your company and your customers if you handle it well. By keeping customers and employees informed during downtime, you can build trust and cut support costs.
Join Scott, co-founder of StatusPage, for a history of the company and its recent acquisition by Atlassian. We'll cover StatusPage best practices we've learned along the way, and tips for implementing a great StatusPage experience for you and your customers.

Based on a wide variety of surveys taken over recent years, many companies are transitioning to something that looks more like Agile than the processes they were using in previous years. However, that transition doesn’t necessarily mean implementations have been done respectfully of the Agile Manifesto and the principles behind it. In large part, industry trends seem to indicate that the sloganization of the word has done a significant disservice to the ideas that were originally founded in 2001. To add even more pain, most people seem to be entirely unaware of the core basis of Agile which is the idea to embrace change but inspect and adapt to that change. Are we lost as an industry? Is there anyway we can recover from this problem? In this session, attendees can expect to engage in a conversation about the rise of the Agile community, the negative and positive impact it has had on the industry, and how you individually can help your organizations and teams lower the risk of encountering the negative problems, and speed your way towards the positives. Topics will include: - The intentions behind agile - Ways you can rework or improve your not so great agile situation - Things you should avoid from the start.
At Atlassian, we strive to improve how our engineering, marketing, service and IT teams work together. We believe great teamwork is the result of shared goals, effective communication, and clear and transparent processes.
Learn how Atlassian helps teams work better together. This presentation shares our newest product features and illustrate how they help us get more done.
Our industry is brimming with new talent, but the difference between a good and bad mentor is monumental for a new developer's career. While every developer has the opportunity to impact their team in this way, many pass on the change because they find it to be boring, tedious, or they don't think they have enough to offer. We will cover not only why you should take a role in helping grow your team's talent, but also proven strategies to do so successfully.
Views You Can Use - How to Maximize and Measure Video's Impact throughout the...Lattice Engines
Looking to build an integrated video marketing program to support thought leadership and demand gen goals? Jenna Keegan and Amanda Maksymiw of Lattice Engines will share how marketing operations, demand generation and content marketing can work together to make the most impact. They’ll offer best practices on creating integrated campaigns, tips for building a tech stack to power your video program, a framework for measuring engagement and ROI, and ideas for making the most of your video investments.
The Secret to Nailing Project EstimationsAtlassian
How many times have you been asked by your manager, a product owner, or a stakeholder, "how long will writing a new feature take?" And how many times have you actually given an accurate time estimate—say within 1 week of your estimation?
Learn about how my development team at Atlassian faced these same issues and how we transformed our practices to consistently nail time estimates
From Chaos to Confidence: DevOps at LeanKitJon Terry
As a company, LeanKit have believed in Lean, Kanban, Agile, DevOps since our founding. We've alway talked about how important these ideas are - in the community and inside our company.
But that doesn't mean that doing those things in practice has been easy. We're a very fast growing startup in a very competitive market space. We've tripled in size in less than a year and nearly came apart at the seams at times.
In fact, in the fall of 2015, our technology team were having a very hard team. We were out of synch with our sales & marketing partners and facing a lot of internal conflict.
But we came together as a team and worked hard to implement a well coordinated system of values, team structure, cadences, and standard practices. We're now in a much better place as a team and generating much better results for our company.
There are no one-size-fits-all answers for companies. I can't promise that if you copy LeanKit you'll succeed. But we do think we have some interesting lessons learned to share and that you just might be able to pick up some ideas that you can take back to your company.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.
Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

It consists of cw radar and fmcw radar ,range measurement,if amplifier and fmcw altimeterThe CW radar operates using continuous wave transmission, while the FMCW radar employs frequency-modulated continuous wave technology. Range measurement is a crucial aspect of radar systems, providing information about the distance to a target. The IF amplifier plays a key role in signal processing, amplifying intermediate frequency signals for further analysis. The FMCW altimeter utilizes frequency-modulated continuous wave technology to accurately measure altitude above a reference point.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

6. Kate Travers | @kttravers
Engineers are just as social as your average co-worker.
We’re just very protective of our precious (and limited)
attention span.
7. Know how your
team builds.

10. When you ask for something from an engineer, don't
get too detailed. They're the experts, so let them
decide how to do it.
Kate Travers | @kttravers
12. Kate Travers | @kttravers
Be precise. ● Don’t make assumptions
● Eliminate guesswork
● Put all your cards on the
table
13. Kate Travers | @kttravers
● Define the desired
outcome(s), not the
means
● Set priorities
● Ask for tradeoffs
Provide
requirements, not
implementation.
14. Engineers love details and hate meetings, so don’t
bring them into a project until you’ve mapped
everything out completely in advance.
Kate Travers | @kttravers
16. Work better
together.
Kate Travers | @kttravers
● Don’t insulate engineering
team from the “business”
● Better context leads to
better results
● Catch problems early
enough to fix
18. Product Manager:
How’s the password reset feature going?
Developer:
I started looking into the Postmark API and installed
their client library, but I started running into some
issues in my development environment because of
an outdated library we’re using for image handling.

Kate Travers | @kttravers
20. CEO:
Ok, but what about the landing page update?
Developer:
I just used a really cool algorithm to guess similar
words using something called “Levenshtein
distance”. The data consistency problem should be
fixed by EOD.

Developer to product manager:
I’m working on the search feature and noticed that
some of these filtering options don’t make sense
together. What if we did it like this instead?
Kate Travers | @kttravers
23. DO DON’T
Talk like you know something when you don’t
“What if we just…”
Be intimidated by jargon
Assume your problem isn’t interesting enough
to solve
Ask lots of questions
Dream out loud in user stories
Connect your asks back to business wins
Build rapport (attend demos, volunteer for
testing, or just grab coffee)
