Metaverse & The Employee Experience: What You Need To KnowRichard Harbridge
Back in the day we would use 'who installed a browser' that wasn't the default as an 'indirect signal' that denoted a level of individual interest in improving their digital productivity or experience.

What still works best though is direct signals like comments, nominations, champion programs (yearly and NON MANAGER & NON IT focused) and more that help identify people and map them/amplify their visibility as potential super collaborators, those with high amounts of digital debt and those who would better benefit from greater digital fitness or digital experience investments.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

56. PowerApps Web Part can make it easy to add PowerApps to a page for many
common form scenarios throughout your Intranet, teams and sites.
FORMS & PROCESSES…

57. Flow itself isn’t just for templating common scenarios. We can also prompt for
information, and you will see it more integrated in SharePoint moving forward.
FORMS & PROCESSES…
Teams
59. MANAGING ACCESS & CONTROL…
While core documents are managed and controlled many other places
like team or departmental collaboration suffer from permission challenges.
60. MANAGING ACCESS & CONTROL…
We use dynamic groups with membership defined as a rule, rather
than as a static list of members. We expire groups (if need not attested).
Expiring Groups
Admins set a duration after
creation when group owners
need to attest the continuing
need for their group. Else it’s
deleted.
One Identity
Azure Active Directory (AAD) is
the master for group identity
and membership across Office
365 (Exchange, SharePoint,
Yammer, Teams, Planner, Power
BI, etc.)
61. MANAGING ACCESS & CONTROL…
Throughout the Office 365 experience for SharePoint or OneDrive content
access control is readily available and easy to understand as an end user.
62. MANAGING ACCESS & CONTROL…
Make it easy to manage access and ensure the wrong kind of sharing
doesn’t take place – whether internal or external.
63. Better site management at a service level makes this easier to target and
notify owners based on site activity, classifications, sharing status or more.
MANAGING ACCESS & CONTROL…
65. EXTERNAL COLLABORATION…
External access may have involved significant effort for onboarding, user
management, access control, and we had unsanctioned tools popping up.
66. EXTERNAL COLLABORATION…
We have an effective SharePoint Extranet strategy with many sites
while also providing lower friction options for specific users if needed.
67. 1. Notifications To Track Access
2. They Can See All Files In One Place
3. Per Group – Sharing Controls…
4. Much More!
EXTERNAL COLLABORATION…
There is a lot of additional control, extensibility, and more options coming
to Office 365 and Azure that enrich the external collaboration story.
69. WORK MANAGEMENT…
We have had the need to manage tasks for ages, the issues we thought were
aggregating tasks and making it easier to manage them. Turns out the biggest
gap was actually collaborating on tasks (not working on your own).
70. WORK MANAGEMENT…
Now we have a modern task management experience focused on
easier collaborative task management.
71. Significant enhancements are coming for Planner such as templating,
integrating it with To-Do, and Project Online over time.
WORK MANAGEMENT…
73. PROFILES & EXPERTISE…
Typically we would customize profiles to try and make them even more
useful. OOTB was basic, the main issue was people not filling them out.
74. PROFILES & EXPERTISE…
Instead of custom profiles we now have rich profiles where new
functionality is continually added. About more than just the user details.
75. PROFILES & EXPERTISE…
Profiles are embedded in more places. Instead of just a contact they now
surface activity of that user (recent documents today, more in the future).
76. PROFILES & EXPERTISE…
Tools already monitor your directory for information that is missing,
incorrect or out-of-date. Pro-actively reaching out to users.
77. PROFILES & EXPERTISE…
…Don’t forget that there are more improvements coming from strategic
investments like Microsoft’s in LinkedIn that can improve the expertise story.
79. We have had analytics, but only administrators or really advanced users could
get them, and even then the format and usability was low.
ANALYTICS…
80. Analytics are now integrated into key experiences to help users improve,
understand, and take action. They are brought to the surface.
ANALYTICS…
81. Organizations and leaders are piloting and exploring merging models of individual
productivity analytics and organizational analytics that are very rich today (E5).
ANALYTICS…
82. Far more is tracked today than ever before, and better reporting is continually
being made available to help make sense of all this data.
ANALYTICS…
85. ANALYTICS…
Workplace Analytics (now available for orgs with over 5k users) is already
driving better guidance for all organizations based on analytics available.

Demo environment -
Year after year voicemail use has dropped 8%, with only 14% of people bothering to listen through the entire voicemail message.
38% of video users report increase of improved retention in meetings that use video instead of just voice. 100% of video users say it helps them accelerate decision making.
From Forrester TEI - Another interviewed organization described a use case that has resulted in millions of dollars in additional revenue: “Opening an office used to take three to four months. Our latest opening, using Office 365, took 18 days. When we get a grant, we can only start to invoice once we begin to perform work. That means we were losing three months of revenue.” This amounted to nearly $200,000 per month for one office, and five offices were being opened in a typical year.
SharePoint Workflow and Flow?
SharePoint Workflows (& Great 3rd Part Platforms) are still a great way to automate most structured enterprise business processes today. Flow has some focus areas that SharePoint Workflow does not have which compliments process and task automation needs, especially across systems and services (like IFTTT or Zapier).
Flow includes a focus on platforms outside of SharePoint.
Flow can be triggered by web hooks into external systems. Flows can take actions and events from outside your environment and automate the movement of this data into your systems.
Flow allows users without list management rights to still create flows.
Many flows are within an individual users context. Triggering a flow for a user based on an event that happens in their Office 365 mailbox as an example only targets that user.
Flow includes a focus on the personal technologies of an individual end user allowing them to automate personal and professional processes/tasks.
