As agile becomes more mainstream, leaders and managers are increasingly deciding to establish agile transformations to deliver organisational improvement. However, the imposition of agile methods and practices as ready-made solutions is like putting a new patch on an old garment - a superficial fix that will ultimately make things worse. This session explores what it means to 'impose' agile and what good or bad approaches to this might be.

Leadership is the ability to lead, influence or guide other individuals, teams, or organizations.

1. Learn about the 5 Pillars of Leading Change.
2. Key Lenses for a Leader in an Enterprise.
3. How do we build Inside-Out Leadership skills.
4. Areas to master to be an effective leader
 

Continuous Delivery is easy in some circumstances. If you are writing a stateless, maybe even serverless, microservice it is pretty simple really. Most systems need state though. What do we do about state? How do we work to keep our systems "releasable all the time" when we have data, sometimes LOTS of data?

This talk describes some of the useful, practical, techniques that you can apply to implement Continuous Delivery for data as well as for code.

This talk is all about those easy to implement practices a round product delivery which would help you accelerate product delivery and ensure faster validation of features and changes!

Takeaways:
1. How to use customer personas and journey maps to understand customers better.
2. The interesting art of prioritisation - maximizing the work not done is essential.

Testing what we know, or have a clear understanding of, is relatively straight forward, as is making decisions based on the expected result. But today’s world is presenting us with the Unknown and the Ambiguous, which can only be approached by hypothesizing and experimenting - a lot! This requires intentional thinking, and a different strategy to observe in context.

Each of us have a working style. We often ask ourselves “why we behave the way we do?”, in this webinar we understand this. This influences the way we approach a task and interactions with others.

Takeaways:
1. Identify and recognize the working styles.
2. Identify how to work with our limitations of our working styles.

We are used to monitoring application's in production, but what about the applications of applications the software delivery chain (SDLC). Modern SDLCs are highly automated, and development a team’s ability to delivery code is directly connected to that delivery chain being stable, secure, and measurable. In this webinar we will talk about pipeline analytics, the processes of collecting and visualizing data from your software delivery chain.

walking skeleton was advocated by Dr. Alistair Cockburn, an expert in Agile Software Development and often described this method as: A tiny implementation of the system that performs a small end to end function. It need not use the final architecture, but it should link together the main architectural components. The architecture and the functionality can then evolve in parallel.
