This document discusses CyberArk's transition to an agile development process and their efforts to manage technical debt. It describes how they initially used tools to assess code quality and debt, allocated time to refactor code and documentation, and worked with teams and management to prioritize reducing debt. While making progress, they found communicating the importance of technical debt and getting buy-in across levels challenging. Ongoing measurement, manager engagement, and follow up on actions were needed to fully shift mindsets to managing debt. The experience demonstrated that reducing technical debt requires long-term, permanent work to enhance non-functional areas.

How to Measure Agility Project Success in Business TermsEthan Ram
A session I gave in Agile Israel 2015 conference about measuring the success of transforming a company operations using agility/lean methodologies. I'm presenting several KPIs from different departments - evidence to a significant improvement that resulted from the agility projects we have taken.
The world of IT is shifting rapidly towards DevOps with analysts predicting the majority of companies will adopt DevOps practices in the next few years. In fact, in a recent study on DevOps by International Data Corp. (IDC), they believe that DevOps will be adopted (in either practice or discipline) by 80% of Global 1000 organizations by 2019!
Forming a DevOps team seems like a natural step, but the idea of creating a dedicated DevOps team has ignited anger in the community. Why? What's the concern? Is a DevOps team evil? Completely necessary? A necessary Evil?
Join IBM UrbanCode's Eric Minick to learn the pitfalls of creating bad DevOps teams, and successful approaches of good ones. Along the way, we’ll explore other heresies such as using tools to change culture.
Break Through Agile Transformation StagnationTasktop
Transformation to Agile at scale typically takes 1-3 years. There is a pattern of adoption that most companies go through that achieves initial gains, but tends to stagnate after the initial improvement. In order for true value delivery to significantly increase, a mindset shift that ties business strategy all the way down to the team level is required.
In this webinar, Tasktop VP of Industry Strategy, Betty Zakheim, and Net Objectives CEO, Al Shalloway, discuss the challenges causing Agile transformation stagnation and what must be done to solve them.
For anyone looking for customer experience with VersionOne vs. other agile lifecycle management tools, this slideshow features customer testimonials from 3rd-party researcher, Techvalidate to help agile software companies evaluate agile ALM tools like VersionOne, Rally, JIRA, Microsoft TFS and others.
If the average developer alone uses an average of 14 different software platforms every single day, how many are in use throughout your entire organization? Teams that work in independent and uncoordinated workflows across people, process, and products, result in poorly defined roles, disconnected collaboration and poor visibility.
We firmly believe that mission critical tools should talk, connect and provide roll up visibility as a tech stack that build platform approach. Despite common misconceptions, achieving this is not as difficult as you may think.
In this webinar, we will highlight common misconceptions on what it means to integrate your tool stack.
- The total cost of ownership to build vs buy integrations
- Connecting technology 1:1 vs. building a platform
- What it means to have a modern tech stack
- The cost to maintain integrations

DOES15 - Sherry Chang - Intel’s Journey to Large Scale DevOps Transformation Gene Kim
Sherry Chang, Enterprise Architect, Intel
Is it possible to transform large enterprises with 100’s of in-flight projects across myriad technology stacks and entrenched processes, requiring massive workforce re-skilling? In this session, I’ll share approaches we employed to increase the likelihood of success through DevOps adoption by:
-Offering of a common Continuous Delivery Service, similar to industry offerings from Codeship.io, CloudBees, and others
-Establishing a Maturity Model to help teams incrementally adopt DevOps practices
-Coaching teams through Kaizen sessions to eliminate bottlenecks and waste in their value stream
Interest in DevOps has never been higher. According to a recent global survey conducted by Freeform Dynamics (commissioned by CA Technologies) of some 1,442 respondents from 16 countries, representing 9 vertical industries, 72% of companies have implemented some aspect of DevOps.
But are companies doing as well with implementing DevOps as they think they are? The respondents agree on the important elements necessary for DevOps success, but many haven’t actually done them.
Download the report, “Assembling the DevOps Jigsaw” here: http://cainc.to/CFMg4L
Agile practices continue to improve as organizations move forward with adoption and adaption. However, as they move forward, they often run into daunting challenges—coordinating projects with highly complex requirements and interdependencies; navigating highly political environments; and finding ways to fund, report, and integrate agile project work into existing organizational processes. Jamie Mades has found that the Lean Agile Portfolio bridges these gaps, applying lean product development flow principles to identify high-value initiatives and speed completion of work. It reduces risk and uncertainty using agile development practices to realize those initiatives. Jamie discusses how to break down silos across all areas, reduce the divide between agile practices and senior executive requirements, and improve collaboration. Using a $500M portfolio at a Fortune 100 company as an example, he reviews how they seamlessly integrated agile planning into the annual funding cycle and coordinated highly complex work across the organization. Join Jamie to learn where you need to drive changes and where you can adapt agile practices to meet organizational needs.
eDevOps in HPSW from buzzword to realityAgileSparks
In recent years we see a major shift toward SaaS solutions. More and more HPSW customers prefer to consume products like Quality Center, Performance Center and Agile Project Management as a Service.
Meeting this increased demand for SaaS triggered a major shift within HP SW development groups and HP SaaS operations group to not only modernize our products and offering but also to modernized the way we develop, test, deploy and operate our software in a SaaS model by moving to DevOps.
In this session we will discuss how HPSW Dev and Ops joined forces to establish the right methodologies, processes and technologies to build a true DevOPs delivery model that is aligned across HP SW, starting with Agile Manager, our first true SaaS product and continuing with traditional products like Quality Center.
Today in SaaS for Agile Manager we have 4 farms located over 3 locations (3 regions – AMS, EMEA, APJ).
We have more than 120 customers and over 6000 of users login each day to our systems with over 1000 active tenants.
We have bi-weekly pushes and Quarterly major releases, comprehensive monitoring processes and extensive implementation of HP monitoring tools.
Over 4000 tickets handled by both Operations and R&D.
Agile development has become a well-known and effective software development methodology. But can you take Agile, and apply it to other areas of your business, for example to hardware development?
To explore this, once again Belatrix is delighted to welcome Agile expert, Hubert Smits, to share his expertise and insights.
Evolution of the DevOps Quality Management OfficeCapgemini
DevOps is still evolving as a movement, and as teams adopt it, they will see the need for increased and continuous quality along with continuous delivery. The DevOps Quality Management Office is a function that drives testing efficiencies in DevOps initiatives, with processes, tools and competencies to reduce test execution time between development and operations. The prime goal is to optimize QA efficiencies upstream, downstream, and centrally. In this session, learn about critical competencies, frameworks and processes to build this function, components of a QMO, differences between traditional testing and testing in DevOps, and HP tools to aid DevOps.

M-Agile - Best practices for successful Mobile Agile - Roy Nuriel PerfectoMobileAgileSparks
The Agile Manifesto was published in 2001 and now nearly every software development team claims to be following Agile practices (to some extent). Client server and web app project teams have reached a level of maturity enabling frequent releases with a predictable velocity and high quality. Agile practices move organizations towards embedding quality throughout the process.
But, these same teams are feeling daily pressure to deliver similar capabilities on mobile devices. Business is shifting to the digital experience and mobility is the central focus. Organizations succeeding to deliver standard web and other technologies are now struggling to achieve the same maturity in the mobile (web & native) world or what we are calling M-Agile (Mobile Agile).
In this session we will explore why the unique aspects of mobile app development are changing SDLC (software development lifecycle) practices. There is no magic to adapt current practices. Rather, we will share a recommended set of practices to achieve predictable velocity and deliver high quality mobile apps. The conversation will specifically address how to implement continuous integration (CI) to achieve the fast feedback / fast correction cycle required to drive mobile app engagement. CI can help teams also achieve Continuous Quality by embedding functional and non-functional verification in every build.

Who says release planning is not agile - Vered Yeret at Agile Israel 2015AgileSparks
Having a meaningful Sprint #1 has always been a real challenge for us. this was one of the reasons we decided to dedicate two full days for a release planning workshop based on SAFe. In this session I share why and how we did it, what we learnt before, during and after the workshop and tips for making it a success.
Agile and Lean both emphasize the need to focus on customer value, and accordingly, we all want valuable user stories, but when we take a look at user stories teams are working on, we often have a hard time to see where that value is hiding.
Let’s take another look at user stories and their value, and see how we can extract more value out of our user stories.
We’ll analyze some real-life examples of user stories and will try to spell out their value by asking some questions we should always be asking while we create user stories.

¿te has preguntado cual es la diferencia que hace exitoso la implementación de un programa de transformación digital y otro que no?. Seguramente encontrarás varias diferencias y una de ellas sera las metodologías, practicas y herramientas que se utilizaron durante la definición, planeación, ejecución, monitoreo y control de la estrategia. Arquitectura Empresarial es un marco de referencia que aunado a otras disciplinas permite el éxito de cualquier transformación.
Many organizations engage in initiatives to develop elaborate reference architectures, patterns and governance processes in an attempt to optimize their enterprise. They put significant effort into the upfront guidance of development teams, and then find themselves challenged to understand how closely an architecture matches the approved approach after the projects complete. Organizations must take a new approach to this problem!
Technical debt is inevitable in applications development and many organizations and teams struggle to manage it – when to take it on, when to avoid it and when and how to pay it down.

Let’s return the debt!
▪ After learning the area, we found out that the
regular “Housekeeping” mechanism is
not satisfying for proper return of
Technical Debt
▪ So why not extending the
mechanism/invest in it?
PSHHH…
That’s not easy to perform cross R&D
9. 9
Drifting into the comfort zone…
▪ Housekeeping time we can choose to improve:
▪ “do it fast” and
“do it on time” ->
Immediate and tangible value
“do it right”
and “keep doing it” ->
Long term and intangible
Do
it
fast
Do
it
right

Keep
doing
it

Lessons learned
Enhance
and
groom
the
non-‐funcAonal
areas
of
the
products
require
long
and
permanent
work
(Especially
when
the
need
is
“burning”)
Convince
levels
(“Get
buy-‐in:
“This
is
valuable”
ó
I
will
choose
this
over
other
things”)
Measurement
helps!
