Agile and DevOps are both common buzzwords and lots of organizations are “doing” them. Implementing frameworks such as Scrum/Kanban sometimes can make changes within an area of the company, but instituting DevOps essentials such as continuous integration, continuous deployment, and continuous monitoring often require greater collaboration across teams in companies with functional structures. Find out how implementing Agile and DevOps practices at your organization can cause changes in mindsets, people, processes and tools, often leading to real organizational change and improved agility. After attending, listeners will leave with an understanding of the journeys we have seen to get there and the key drivers for a successful transformation.

AgileLIVE – Accelerate Enterprise Agile with the Scaled Agile Framework®: Part IVersionOne
Interested in finding out how to scale agile faster, easier and smarter using the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe)? If so, make sure you watch this two-part webinar series!
Scrum, XP, Kanban and related methods have been proven to provide step changes in productivity and quality for software teams. However, these methods do not have the native constructs necessary to scale across the enterprise. What the industry desperately needs is a solution that moves from a set of simplistic, disparate, development-centric methods, to a scalable, unified approach that addresses the complex constructs and additional stakeholders in the organization – and accelerates the realization of enterprise-class product or service initiatives via aligned and cooperative solution development.
Part I: Join Dean Leffingwell, software industry veteran and Lean Systems Society Fellow, for an overview of SAFe, a publicly–accessible knowledge base of proven lean and agile practices for enterprise-class software development.

El Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) es una base de conocimientos para adoptar métodos de trabajo ágiles en grandes organizaciones. SAFe presenta de forma gráfica un modelo de gestión para escalar la aplicación de las prácticas ágiles de un equipo a la gestión de programas, y de la gestión de programas al conjunto de la organización.
Este modelo para la adopción y transformación ágil de las organizaciones fué diseñado por Dean Leffingwell, a partir de sus libros “Agile Software Requeriments: Lean Requeriments for Teams Programs and the Enterprise” y “Scaling Software Agility: Best Practices for Large Enterprise”, y se ha implementado con éxito en grandes organizaciones de todo el mundo. 60 de las 100 compañías más grandes de Estados Unidos están utilizando SAFe como guía de referencia para la adopción de Agile.
El modelo de gestión propuesto por SAFe cubre el conjunto de la organización, desde los equipos, hasta los niveles de mayor responsabilidad. El modelo estructura en tres niveles: Equipo, Programa y Portfolio, aunque en la última versión, SAFe 4.0, introduce un 4º nivel opcional para soluciones de extremadamente grandes y complejas. Para cada uno de estos niveles SAFe define los roles, estructuras, actividades, artefactos, prácticas y técnicas adecuadas.

One of the keys to a successful enterprise Agile transformation is the support of executive leadership, which is more than simply providing approval. The Agile executive enables, empowers and engages rather than controls.
According to one recent survey, more than one in three organisations claim that the lack of leadership engagement within their businesses is plaguing their journey towards sustainable organisational agility.
With a special focus on executives and leaders, this presentation will be draw upon more than a decade of Agile transformation experiences in multiple organisations across eight countries, and will share real-life case studies and insights to illustrate the key things that Agile leaders need to do differently.

Please join us on Wednesday January 27 in Burlington MA starting at 6:30 pm as senior enterprise agility coach Yuval Yeret describes several techniques that can be used to produce a lasting and productive adoption of the Scaled Agile Framework.
The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) is a powerful and popular framework for implementing agile at large scale across the enterprise. However many organizations see their implementation of SAFe stall and even backfire since the adoption is mandated from its organizational leaders, instead of engaged teams participating and choosing their SAFe.
In this talk we will examine some dangerous implementation anti-patterns as well as healthier alternatives. You will learn some concrete techniques that help live up to the Lean/SAFe principles of respecting and engaging people. We will discuss field-proven ideas such as pull-based crossing the chasm approach to implementation, use of open space as part of the different SAFe ceremonies, and how Open Space Agility can combine with SAFe.

- Appreciated Business Value
- Validated User Centered Design and Experience
- Established Customer Visibility and Trust
* Transparency (Be honest, knowing where you really are)
- Automation and Coverage Dashboard
- CI Radiator
- Reflect on and strive towards reducing Technical Debt
* Agile Development Process
- Predictability, e.g. Minimize Deviation between projected and accepted User Stories
- Process Maturity Dashboard
* Competence Development
- Team Flow
- Personal Development Plans
We leverage practical examples from our daily practice to illustrate opportunities for reuse within other companies.

From Zero to Continuous Delivery - Lessons learned in Big OrganizationsAmanda Mattos
Lessons learned during 8 years experiencing Agile/DevOps transformation in Brazilian large organizations (Oil&Gas and Telecommunication industries). Common points that helped them to move from zero to a Continuous Delivery status for many applications.
As companies evolve to adopt, integrate and leverage software as the defining element of their success in the 21st century, a rash of processes and methodologies are vying for their product teams' attention. This Session will give you guidelines on how to start an innovative business lean and fast by using design thinking, lean and agile approaches and how to build high-performing digital product teams. The session will finish with discussing Lean Agile meets Design Thinking to give a meaningful conclusion.
My talk about DevOps in Knowit Developer Summit 2018 in Oslo. This talk is a condensed version of the DevOps workshop I run for management teams and technical teams to start their journey as an organization towards DevOps. We refer to DASA DevOps Agile Skills Association's definitions of DevOps. The talk includes also Knowit DevOps Maturity Model high level description.
Agile is simple to understand but difficult to implement, hard to master and mind-boggling when trying to scale!
This is because many organisations start implementing Agile in a cultural context that is mostly non-Agile.
This creates a significant number of tensions and frictions that the teams adopting Agile have to deal with although they are often not fully aware of them.
This presentation discusses why implement Agile and what is Agile, it also talks about how to scale from a single team to multiple teams and the impact on organisational culture.
Saving the DoD $800M: How Portfolio Management is the Missing Link Between Ag...VMware Tanzu

Session Title: Saving the DoD $800M: How Portfolio Management is the Missing Link Between Agile and Waterfall
Speakers: Jackie Ho, Staff Product Designer at VMware; Oscar Chacon, Portfolio PM at United States Space Force
Doing DevOps well is really hard. And one of the reasons why doing DevOps well is so hard is because, as the survey sponsored by Google Cloud rightly points out: “Adopting DevOps is not a technology project. It requires changes to staffing, organization structure, performance management, and even culture”. It is easy to do a tool’s implementation and declare victory, but that won’t get organizations the benefit of DevOps -- developing and putting new software/applications into production, quickly.
In this webinar with Irfan Shariff, DASA Ambassador, you’ll learn about:
- Why DevOps
- How DevOps enables the delivery of business results
- Google ( Harvard Business Review) survey findings
- Why doing DevOps is hard
- Learning from doing Agile Software Development
- Doing DevOps right with DASA’s guidance
Organizational
- Individual and team level

Automating it management with Puppet + ServiceNowPuppet
As the leading IT Service Management and IT Operations Management platform in the marketplace, ServiceNow is used by many organizations to address everything from self service IT requests to Change, Incident and Problem Management. The strength of the platform is in the workflows and processes that are built around the shared data model, represented in the CMDB. This provides the ‘single source of truth’ for the organization.
Puppet Enterprise is a leading automation platform focused on the IT Configuration Management and Compliance space. Puppet Enterprise has a unique perspective on the state of systems being managed, constantly being updated and kept accurate as part of the regular Puppet operation. Puppet Enterprise is the automation engine ensuring that the environment stays consistent and in compliance.
In this webinar, we will explore how to maximize the value of both solutions, with Puppet Enterprise automating the actions required to drive a change, and ServiceNow governing the process around that change, from definition to approval. We will introduce and demonstrate several published integration points between the two solutions, in the areas of Self-Service Infrastructure, Enriched Change Management and Automated Incident Registration.
Simplified Patch Management with Puppet - Oct. 2020Puppet
Does your company struggle with patching systems? If so, you’re not alone — most organizations have attempted to solve this issue by cobbling together multiple tools, processes, and different teams, which can make an already complicated issue worse.
Puppet helps keep hosts healthy, secure and compliant by replacing time-consuming and error prone patching processes with Puppet’s automated patching solution.
Join this webinar to learn how to do the following with Puppet:
Eliminate manual patching processes with pre-built patching automation for Windows and Linux systems.
Gain visibility into patching status across your estate regardless of OS with new patching solution from the PE console.
Ensure your systems are compliant and patched in a healthy state
How Puppet Enterprise makes patch management easy across your Windows and Linux operating systems.

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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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).

3. Why do we need this conversation?
3
▪ 40 Agile teams across several products and
initiatives
▪ No continuous integration, not all SaaS
“our environments are unique and
complicated….”
▪ Some automation for testing, but deployment
processes are still manual
▪ Environments are unstable or unavailable, and
not representative of Production environments
@EstebanFGarcia @HeidiAraya
4. Learning Objectives
1. Typical challenges implementing Agile and DevOps in
enterprise settings
2. Some ideas for overcoming typical challenges
3. Key drivers for a successful transformation
4. How can I get started?
4 @EstebanFGarcia @HeidiAraya
5. Enterprise Agile and DevOps
Enterprise Agile –
▪ Multiple agile teams working in conjunction on the same product, project or
initiative, where they have interdependent knowledge, code, and structures
▪ Teams should own “develop to deployment” process end to end (typically is
not the case)
DevOps –
▪ It’s about people, process and technology... It’s not just the tools and
automation
Why does Agile matter to the DevOps people in the room?
Why does an Agile organization need to consider DevOps?
5 @EstebanFGarcia @HeidiAraya
6. How are Agile & DevOps Similar?
6 @EstebanFGarcia @HeidiAraya
7. Releasable… not just potentially shippable
Scrum Guide:
▪ “The heart of Scrum is a Sprint, … during which a “Done”, useable, and potentially
releasable product Increment is created.”
▪ “Purpose of each Sprint is to deliver Increments of potentially releasable functionality …”
▪ “Incremental deliveries of “Done” product ensure a potentially useful
version of working product is always available.”
7
Pay attention to the goal, not only the practices
▪ Agile ... is a mindset of delivering value to customers
frequently to get feedback so we can make better decisions
▪ DevOps … helps us get releasable!
@EstebanFGarcia @HeidiAraya
8. Typical Challenges & Advice - Agile
1. Hierarchical structures
can foster different
priorities and lack of
holistic view
▪ Align metrics to organizational
and team goals (collaboration,
delivering value)
▪ Get everyone on the same
page around mission and
vision, priorities
8 @EstebanFGarcia @HeidiAraya
9. Typical Challenges & Advice - Agile
2. Teams spend time
building things that don’t
solve customer problems
because it’s so costly/
time consuming to deploy
and get feedback
9 @EstebanFGarcia @HeidiAraya
▪ Don’t ask how much, ask how
little of a feature can be delivered
to get feedback
10. Typical Challenges & Advice - Agile
3. Inability to measure what has been released (Is
anyone using that feature?)
▪ Measure customer usage patterns, errors,
exceptions, performance
10 @EstebanFGarcia @HeidiAraya
11. Typical Challenges & Advice - Agile
4. Manual processes for deployment waste time,
but no one wants to invest in automation
11 @EstebanFGarcia @HeidiAraya
▪ Work together with
operations to create an
automated process
▪ Measure the impact
of not having automation
12. Typical Challenges & Advice - DevOps
1. Lack of good software development practices (TDD, CI,
automation) impede fast delivery and collaboration
12 @EstebanFGarcia @HeidiAraya
▪ Solution - Know where
code will reside
▪ Solution - Create CI
build as early as
possible (build delivery
pipeline before start
coding, keep it up!)
13. Typical Challenges & Advice - DevOps
2. Differing processes and tools between Scrum and ops
teams
13 @EstebanFGarcia @HeidiAraya
▪ Dev and ops teams collaborate
together so that the
deployment solution is aligned
end to end
▪ Dev and QA should collaborate
so that environments meets
QA’s needs
14. Typical Challenges & Advice - DevOps
3. Software development is optimized per team but not for
holistic delivery of product
14 @EstebanFGarcia @HeidiAraya
▪ Have a multi-team strategy
for the branching structure,
release pipelines, multiple
dev and test environments
to support a scalable
infrastructure
15. Typical Challenges & Advice - DevOps
4. Teams don’t know where to start, there are too many
priorities
15 @EstebanFGarcia @HeidiAraya
▪ Find low hanging fruit … find
the items that will bring the
biggest ROI
▪ Dedicate people or time to
improving things little by little
▪ Sprinkle DevOps fairy dust
(mindset!) amongst the teams
16. Key Drivers for Successful Transformation
16
1. Limit work in process across the enterprise (stop starting, start finishing)
2. Don’t optimize for individual teams or keeping people busy, optimize for
service delivery - Use “Pull”
3. Define a process and teams that include all skillsets for releasing to
production
4. Think holistically about delivering value – How does what you’re working on
make your company successful?
5. Feedback loops in place (unit testing, automation, and customers)
6. Don’t release without ability to measure the impact or use of the feature
7. Make it easy to participate in an automation pipeline
@EstebanFGarcia @HeidiAraya
