Organizations can be obsessed with speed. Invariably, the questions get asked, “What is our velocity or throughput? How can we go faster?”
Software development organizations are knowledge work organizations, and they require different thinking about their primary constraint. In this session, we will explore better learning as a method to improve software development outcomes.
Understanding the ephemeral nature of tacit knowledge helps us optimize for focus and flow. But poor tacit knowledge management leads to knowledge transfer rework and suboptimal team performance.
Selecting team activities and techniques that encourage double loop learning is critical for organizational learning and improvement.
In knowledge work, improved learning enables effective execution through organizational improvement. Without learning, speed just becomes a lot of wasted motion.
Learning Outcomes:
-Tacit knowledge is the "knowledge of the moment", and must be acted upon before it decays.
-High work-in-process environments cause tacit knowledge decay and rework.
-Double Loop learning occurs when the larger organization learns through questioning of it's own values and assumptions.
-Agile ceremonies and methods are more effective when they enable both single and double loop learning.
-Learning is more than how our brains work. Learning is how organizations improve.
A 'Good to Great' presentation reminding us that attitude means the difference between success and "OUTSTANDING" ! :) Thanks Kim for a great presentation.

Too often we assume that doing research with users means checking in with them to get feedback on the solution we've already outlined. But the biggest value from research is in uncovering the crucial details of the problem that people have; the problem that we should be solving.
As the design practices mature within companies, they need to play an active role in driving the creation of new and innovative solutions to the real unmet needs that people have. In part, driving towards this maturity means looking at one's own culture and realizing the value of being open-minded and curious, not simply confident. This is a challenge to each of us personally and as leaders within our teams and communities.
I will speak about the importance of this evolution and offer some tips to help guide the changes.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
