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.

“It’s all about execution” proclaims one popular Agile framework. But is it really just about execution? Software development organizations are knowledge work organizations, and they require different thinking about their primary constraints.
In this session, we will explore better learning as a method to improve software development outcomes. Implementing feedback loops enhance the speed and frequency of learning. Understanding the ephemeral nature of tacit knowledge helps us optimize for focus and flow rather than utilization.
A learning approach gives us a different lens to examine the traditional Lean and Agile themes of collaboration, work-in-process, and customer value.
In knowledge work, improved learning enables effective execution. Without learning, execution just becomes motion.

A Leadership Survival Guide to Transformation - Aldo Rall & Andy Cooper - Agi...AgileNZ Conference
Agile has become a source of disruption to organisations and leadership. Prevailing trends shows that organisations are de-layering and some are even decimating their hierarchies. This disruption driven by Agile and, more recently, DevOps and Agile Scaling, challenges tradition; there is a call for wider skill sets and controlled, sustainable transformations, pushing leadership and organisations into wider and often conflicting and ambiguous contexts.
About Aldo Rall & Andy Cooper:
Aldo has over 18 years’ experience in a range of industries including financial services, healthcare, IT, management consulting and education in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the UK. He's worked with a range of clients on Agile transformations as an Agile and Testing Coach. Aldo remains fascinated with continuous change in industry, which ensures there is always something new to learn, regardless of experience levels or qualifications. Over time, Aldo has honed his skills in the practical elements of developing working software but his greatest passion lies in the people dimension of the people-process-technology mix and how this translates into successful IT strategy, teams, projects and practitioners.
Andy Cooper is the Group Manager Global for Software Education. Andy is responsible for developing SoftEd’s training and consulting business outside of Australia and New Zealand and works with clients developing their agility around the world.

A #NoEstimates Playbook For Teams and Their Customerstroytuttle
We will explore both the social and statistical reasons for the #NoEstimates movement. And then we will detail the necessary data and team discipline to employ a #NoEstimates approach to your team’s Agile planning.
Learning Outcomes: How to plan with yesterday’s weather. Focusing on the Why and the What improves customer collaboration. Creating options for your customer reduces the risk of uncertainty.
Minimum Viable Agile is a search for Agile practices and ceremonies, informed by Lean and Agile theory, that produces the maximum amount of customer value, with the least amount of effort.
(Or Just Enough practices and ceremonies to be effective).
Have your Agile practices become stale or redundant? Does it feel like your team is just going through the motions? Have team members asked to discontinue “critical Agile practices” and ceremonies?
In Lean product development, the minimum viable product or MVP, is defined as the product with the highest return on investment versus risk. It’s a strategy to avoid building products that customers don’t need or want by maximizing our learning of what is valuable to the customer.
Agile is typically learned through exposure to a series of Agile practices, a recipe of sorts. But what if that recipe goes beyond minimal? Have we replaced heavy waterfall process with heavy Agile process?
This session will interrogate the thinking behind some of the Agile sacred cows like detailed sprint planning, detailed release planning, and even some popular estimation techniques. We will try to identify what is truly needed to be Agile, based on needs instead of prescribed recipes. What is minimally sufficient to start realizing the benefits of Agile?
What is your MVA? It might be different than you think!

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.
