This document discusses software development approaches and experiences over the past decade. It references extreme programming (XP) and pair programming. It also discusses adopting rapid feedback cycles and experimenting with different practices like promiscuous pairing to adapt quickly to changing needs and market conditions. Maintaining high efficiency while embracing instability through a "beginner's mind" is highlighted.
Software development practices & Infrastructure as Code - how well do they wo...Equal Experts
Infrastructure as Code (IaC) has rapidly become a key part of cloud native engineering. The hard gained experience from writing software can be applied to infrastructure, but fundamental differences means some fundamental approached need to be reconsidered. This talk will explore the implications for test driven development and build pipelines applied to IaC.
Jon Barber is an Engineer with Equal Experts.
He has been paid to write software for over 30 years, and has spent most of his time recently in the platform engineering space. He’s a keen advocate of XP values and practices, and sees himself more as an engineer than craftsman.

Scale: The Most Hyped Term in Agile Development TodayTechWell
Scrum is everywhere. More than 90 percent of agile teams use it. But for many organizations wanting to scale agile, one team using Scrum is not enough. Dave West says the Nexus Framework, created by Ken Schwaber, the co-creator of Scrum, provides an exoskeleton for Scrum. Nexus allows multiple teams to work together to produce an integrated increment regularly. It addresses the key challenges of scaling agile development by adding new yet minimal events, artifacts, and roles to the Scrum framework. Dave discusses Nexus, addresses its boundaries, and explains what else is needed for agile to thrive in an organization. Dave explores how organizations have transitioned to agile, and examines their successes and challenges in implementing Scrum, how they envision scaling with Nexus, and goals for creating a Scrum Studio.
A presentation outlining our experiences a year after adopting Scrum at Future Platforms, a software company based in Brighton, UK.
Presented by Tom Hume and Joh Hunt at The Werks, Brighton, on 15th October 2008
XP teams take every iteration commitment seriously by delivering working software. Continuous Delivery of working product increments and early releasing gives concrete feedback about the state of the system at any time and also increases customer satisfaction.

Increasing Code Quality While Staying LeanSeedCode
If you’re occasionally missing deadlines, accumulating unbillable work or shipping bugs, you’ll learn six techniques to dramatically increase quality while working quickly.
In this session, learn what’s proven to work for SeedCode when delivering both large custom projects, as well as quick little mods. These are techniques you can implement without hiring new staff and without slowing down. These are the techniques we use at https://www.seeedcode.com and https://dayback.com

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).

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.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
