Self-Serve Marketing at VMware with Request PortalsAtlassian
The digital marketing organization at VMware recently transformed the way it does business by migrating to a new tracking tool for all incoming requests. The team is responsible for all of VMWare.com, which is available in 13 languages, 40 countries, and produces over 20K unique pageviews in addition to other microsites. These sites support over 6 million unique monthly visitors worldwide, so it was no small task to make this change. The team chose JIRA Service Desk Cloud with Service Desk to fill the need.
Digital Marketing supports the entire marketing organization of 600 people. By providing a simple self-serve submission method, automatic routing, and clear channels of communication the team was able to increase their capacity by 450% (from 100 to 900 monthly requests) and decrease their SLAs by 58% (shaving off 4 days). Both huge wins!
Learn how spending less time managing requests helped us focus more on marketing personalization, dynamic content, and campaigns that directly impact the sales pipeline.

Application Lifecycle Management at ScaleAtlassian
Rockwell Collins is an aerospace engineering organization developing safety critical systems for aircraft flight decks and communications. Our regulatory processes require unique tool solutions for configuration control, traceability, and quality oversight.
Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) is a highly integrated engineering tool platform built upon Atlassian products, vendor plugins, and internally developed plugins like Auto-Issues-Creation, project defined custom fields, quality assurance metrics and many more. We support 7,000+ engineers with common workflows, training, and customer support.
It might be easier for organizations like Rockwell Collins to remain in legacy tools, but the benefits with ALM for collaborative design and development are overwhelming. I will describe the unique needs we have addressed, the challenges we faced, and the benefits our engineering teams are enjoying.

5 Admins for 60,000 Users: Creating a High-Clearance Growth Strategy for the ...Atlassian
In five short years Vistronix, which supports mission critical functions within the Department of Defense, grew their deployment from 0 to 60,000 very active users. Along the way they learned to scale the entire Atlassian stack and administration.
Every time a new team found success with JIRA, Confluence, or Bitbucket, the user base expanded dramatically. Better hardware, and smart configurations were only half the battle. They also needed JIRA Service Desk to help them organize administration requests and scale with only a handful of admins.
Find out how they kept it all running smoothly for such a high security client such as the Department of Defense.

The Big Migration: How Cerner Moved From Confluence 3.5 to 5.8Atlassian
Cerner uses Confluence for just about everything. To support all of these use cases they created loads of custom features and plugins. With a focus on customization, upgrades fell behind. By the time Confluence 5.8 was released they had a lot of work to do to upgrade.
With the help of a Technical Account Manager, and partnering with Comalatech they were able to upgrade with no downtime. This helped them create a disaster recovery instance, which is a key component for controlled documentation. With their upgrade, they added the ability to go through a certified approval process with reporting capability.
Learn how they made the great leap with minimal impact on users.

6 Strategies to Uncover Growth Opportunities for Your BusinessAtlassian
If there is one commonality between all the fast growth company success stories like Airbnb, Uber, or HubSpot, it's that they're all crazy about measuring and tracking their data and numbers. In order to grow fast, you have to know where your growth comes from and where you lose. However, there's a second part of the equation that is equally important, yet less discussed and that is the qualitative side to growth. Companies also need to be able to understand the why, why they're growing (or not), and that answer is not always found in data. In this talk, I will describe both the quantitative and qualitative ways you can uncover growth opportunities for your business through experimentation. Experimentation can help you build and validate your product's roadmap and ensure you're focusing your resources on what will bring growth.

Bitbucket Pipelines: Serverless CI/CD That Will Save Your LifeAtlassian
Are you building cloud-native products using PaaS building blocks? Whether you've just started or are a seasoned CI/CD practitioner, you might be at risk of "CI/CD agent overload". Historically, CI/CD tools have run with raw hardware, or more recently with virtual machines, each controlled by an agent. The cost of operating these agents has provided a natural check against growth but, in the cloud, agent proliferation often goes unchecked until the agents kill the host organism! Fortunately, there is a cure. Bitbucket Pipelines is Atlassian's new serverless CI/CD feature that enables cloud software teams to get build results sooner, to build reliably, and to test in ways that better resemble cloud PaaS environments.

How to Develop, Track, and Release Like a Boss Using Atlassian ToolsAtlassian
In 2015, Hitachi Vantara, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi Ltd., was using a traditional development approach for their internal IT front office application and releasing only every 2-3 months. But that just wouldn't cut it. The application, built on the Salesforce platform, was simply too important. When they moved to agile, the team realized they'd need to level up on communication, collaboration, and workflow automation. Intimidated, yet determined, Hitachi Vantara turned to Atlassian's cloud-based tools: Jira and Confluence for planning, tracking, and documentation; Bitbucket for collaborating on source code; Bitbucket Pipelines for continuous delivery; and the whole host of native integrations to tie it all together. This is the story of how they did it, and the results they achieved.

Automate Mission Critical Business Workflows With JIRAAtlassian
JIRA is now a mission critical application for Arizona State University. In our quest to become the premiere "Connected University", I will demonstrate several different business use cases utilizing JIRA and its technical capabilities. We use it to receive an email, create an issue, initiate an Enterprise Service Bus flow, and then record the outcome of the transaction and, if the outcome is negative, notify an appropriate resource.
You'll learn that JIRA is not necessarily a stand-alone system but can be fully integrated into the menu of enterprise applications and utilized to both receive and invoke business events. This presentation covers the use of Webhooks, JIRA API, and email-to-issue creation.

In this session, you will learn:
When tuning works, and when it doesn't.
How Atlassian accidentally tuned itself into more outages before diagnosing the problem and reducing outages.
Best practices for performance and memory across large high impact instances.
How different Java garbage collection options differ and impact performance. With the right tuning your applications will have better performance, be more stable, and scale more easily.

Building on the Shoulders of Giants: the Story of Bitbucket PipelinesAtlassian
When the Atlassian Dev Tools team looked to innovate on continuous integration and delivery, we explored many ways to bring the build and deployment pipeline closer to developers and Bitbucket. This led us to think outside the existing product boundaries of Bamboo and build on top of the Bitbucket Connect platform.
James Bryant, a senior designer on the Software Team, will take you through how his team decided to build on top of a platform instead of building out new products. It involves defining a vision, guiding a team with an experience, and testing with customers early and often to build the new Bitbucket Pipelines feature.

How We Re-imagined and Simplified Confluence Bit by BitAtlassian
Though we called it The Confluence Simplify project, our complete overhaul of the navigation experience in Confluence was anything but simple. With a goal to make the product more accessible, understandable, and useful to every user and every team, we were challenged to do this radical project in an incremental way.
Knowing that large visual changes to products can fail spectacularly, we've done everything we can to validate what we're building, ship fast, and ship often. Come hear how we implemented this change, what we learned while attempting this project, and how you can apply these learnings to your nice big audacious project!

Perhaps the most under-utilized assets in most companies are the ideas in employees’ heads. For that reason, this session aims to help attendees learn three key things:
How to tap into employees' passions to drive growth
A useful model for assessing whether your innovation programs are effective
How to use our “recipe book” to build a cohesive innovation program that drives growth
This session is meant to cover the case for employee-driven innovation – including success stories and data points. We'll also provide access to the tools, playbooks, and templates that can accelerate innovation programs in your company.
The process of defining a roadmap is arguably one of the most difficult but important things a product manager has to do. Far too often roadmaps are built without the complete picture in mind, without the right timing, in silos, or are misdirected. How then can we ensure we’re doing it right? Is there really such a thing as an agile roadmap?
This talk will draw from lessons learnt building product to provide practical tips and techniques enabling you to understand roadmap inputs, plan with different perspectives in mind, optimise for learning, communicate and set roadmap goals as well as find agility when the landscape around you changes.

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).

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.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
