                <abstract>Wiring for Fast Flow
Based on a paper I co-wrote with Cisco&apos;s John Rauser, this talk introduces the key mechanisms and principles that enable the internet&apos;s extreme flow at scale and our best collaboration. This talk will introduce three critical missing pieces in almost every company&apos;s attempt to enable fast flow, and how those pieces can be easily missed in a performance improvement journey.</abstract>

                <abstract>Based on his experience helping customers with Team Topologies during the last 5 years, Manuel will rant about... sorry, share what are the most common blockers to fast flow in tech organizations. From the classics originally illustrated in the Team Topologies book to the &quot;new kids on the block&quot;, some of which come from misinterpretations of ideas in the book! This rant talk also contains personal reflections on what we would have done differently if we had to rewrite the book today.</abstract>

                <abstract>We&apos;ve been thinking about building and optimizing cross functional product teams (Engineering, Product, and UX) for decades. Our guiding philosophical principles have their roots in factory and process optimization, and those roots influence everything we do when trying to build and organize high performing teams. In this talk we&apos;ll break down those roots, and show how rather than framing product teams as a factory, we can more easily build high performing organizations if we treat them like professional sports teams. You&apos;ll leave with practical tips on how to think differently about your people, and how to optimize them as a team.</abstract>

                <title>DevSecOops: 15 years of DevOps and patching is still horrible (but should you care?)</title>

                <abstract>One core truth of software that has held true over paradigm shifts is that if you deploy software, you&#8217;ll sooner or later have to deploy a fix to that software. DevOps, Cloud Native, &amp; containers have all led the way in forcing us to rethink how we accomplish deployments with efficiency &amp; scale. But these paradigms have also made the patching problem much worse. The explosion of FOSS, shifting choice left to development teams, decoupling applications into microservices, &amp; the rise of the Cloud have all made patching that much more difficult in the modern day. 

During this talk, we will explore the complications of patching a modern application platform, and will explore how teams can more effectively collaborate on the CVE mitigation process. We will also discuss how teams can go beyond patching for CVE mitigation by leveraging defense in depth practices. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of the challenges of modern architectures &amp; practices, how to build effective CVE mitigation strategies, and how to collaborate with security teams better on the topic.</abstract>

                <abstract>&quot;What are we using for pipelines? Which infrastructure do we support? Is service mesh enabled?&#8221;. These types of questions - revolving on tech choices and implementation - currently occupy most of the conversations around platform engineering.

According to most evidence, though, these are not the only things that make a cloud-native platform successful: cultural change, communication and collaboration, reorganized processes, shared vision and roadmap - among others - play a key role in determining the success of platform transformation. If we don&#8217;t address change comprehensively, the risk is that in a few years we&#8217;ll discover that platforms are not bringing the results we expected.

In this talk we&#8217;ll see some key aspects that are often overlooked in implementing a platform and how it&#8217;s possible to address them along the way.

                <abstract>In a continuously changing IT world, not being able to adapt is the difference between yesterday&apos;s and tomorrow&#8217;s projects. Everybody wants the benefits of changes but nobody wants to endorse its associated risk. I&#8217;ll share why we created Updatecli, an open-source declarative dependency manager. How automation helps us to anticipate, and fix early, our day-to-day challenges, and where the traps lie.</abstract>

                <description>DevEx is about creating an environment that makes it easy for developers to do their job by providing them with the tools and resources they need to build, test, and deploy software quickly and efficiently. This includes everything from the onboarding process to the speed and reliability of the development process, the ability to push button request dev/test environments, feedback loops and collaboration possibilities and the workflows they follow to achieve the greatest level of efficiency and productivity.</description>

                <description>To have a fit infrastructure and treat everything as cattle instead of pets. So many outages are caused by upgrading and when you have upgraded you seldom have a way to downgrade if something goes wrong. Instead create new infrastructure and migrate or replicate to the new infrastructure, by that there is a way to fallback and you can easier test before going live. 
Will give examples of major outages caused by upgrades</description>

                <abstract>In todays tech environment, both people and organizations must continuously learn and adapt to be successful. Yet study after study shows that learning is difficult for most organizations.

In this talk, we will discuss whats preventing smart people from learning new things, the development of personal and organizational growth mindset, and how leading by example proves to be extremely important for creating a learning organization.</abstract>

                <description>This talk is based on studies from Carol Dweck (Growth Mindset), Chris Argyris (organizational learning) and other scholars of personal and organizational learning. The talk walks through how we personally and organizationally avoid learning because learning requires vulnerability and certain amounts of failure. The talk then focuses on what can be done to improve our learning journey.</description>

                <description>Ten years ago, I delivered a passionate talk titled &quot;Deming to DevOps: The Science Behind DevOps.&quot; In that ignite, I established a strong connection between the fundamental principles of W. Edwards Deming and the emerging discipline of DevOps. Little did I realize at the time that the terms &quot;Deming&quot; and &quot;DevOps&quot; would come to define my professional path. Fast forward to today, and I&apos;ve learned much about our industry. However, like ten years ago, everything is poised to change again. Revisiting this presentation after all these years allows us to delve deeper into how these concepts can equip us to navigate the tectonic shifts (e.g.,  GenAI) across software engineering.</description>

                <abstract>The value of the new genAI capabilities shine when they really become part of our daily workflows. 

In this talk I&#8217;ll take you through the engineering workflow, from ideas to production and how genAI technology is making an impact there. From the simple asking questions to GPTs all the way to agents acting on our behalf. No role will go untouched , from product owner, over developer all the way to support and operations. Using real world examples showing the collaborative power this new technology has to enhance us to do a better job. 

As this is so much work in progress, I will bring realism on where we are in practice and what is coming up next. This should give you a better grasp of its power beyond the first experiences you may have had and understand the rough edges of the current reality.

Get ready for a high paced and humorous overview to learn more on the exciting technology wave we&#8217;re currently experiencing. Buckle up!</abstract>

                <abstract>SAP has ~30.000 people working in it&apos;s development organization, with &gt;1000 products on their price list using various technology stacks. How to increase developer productivity at this scale?

Backed by inhouse user research and industry trends they decided to lower their teams cognitive load by introducing an internal developer platform called &apos;Hyperspace&apos;.

Dirk will talk about the obstacles of creating &apos;Hyperspace&apos; with an &quot;Platform as a Product&quot; approach to an organization that is highly fragmented.
Concepts of Paved Roads (a.k.a. Golden Paths) helped them to provide guidance to teams with the aim to reduce team cognitive load while decreasing support load on central teams.

Join Dirks talk for lessons learned, impacts which they can already see and an outlook on what they envision in the Hyperspace.</abstract>

                <description>Hyperspace follows the &quot;Platform as a Product&quot; approach, to take away redundant tasks from teams which can be managed centrally. Important for us here is that we don&apos;t mandate the platform, as we learned from our history that mandating tools, processes, ... leads to unhappier developers and worse results.
Core part of the Hyperspace IDP is our &quot;Paved Road&quot; offering which focuses on giving clear guideance to teams how to do certain tasks. These &quot;Development Procedures&quot; (how we call those guideances), are small value streams (having a trigger, x-steps and at least one clear defined value) which apply to many development teams throughout the company.
For the teams the Development Procedure provide clear guideance on things like compliance fullfilment, while safeguarding their tool and process invesments.

For us as a central platform team, we can now better align maintenance tasks and reduce our support efforts, with more and more teams joining our Paved Roads and our Hyperspace IDP.</description>

                <abstract>Based on my practical experience, I will be talking about:
- What kind of culture keeps a team an ever-changing DevOps team?
- How can leadership enable a team to be a continuously changing DevOps team?


Medical care in Japan is still going through the journey of digitization, therefore it is still  inconvenient for both the recipients and providers of care. Kakehashi, a Japanese medical startup, is taking on the challenge of developing a variety of products to make the Japanese medical experience more flexible.


My team is dedicated  to launching new businesses. After about six months of PoC, we aim to work with an existing product for pharmacies and pharmacists, which has a high market share in Japan, and to spread the results of PoC to existing customers.
Our team&apos;s relationship with DevOps has transitioned over the past year throughout our ways of working.

MVP Phase: Prioritize shortening lead time to release. However, laid the foundation for trunk-based development with a future perspective.

PoC Phase: A high-speed hypothesis testing cycle was conducted with actual customers using the system. The DevOps element of the project became more clear.

Collaboration Phase: 
Develop while adopting a release flow that can withstand the quality expected by the enterprise. Develop while collaborating with team members in charge of existing products through pair programming and other means.</abstract>

                <abstract>Culture is hard. People are messy. Organizational culture may be in direct opposition to the values and practices of a local community or country. Research and recommendations are everywhere, and if the culture of your organization isn&apos;t what you need it to be, it might not be completely your fault.</abstract>

                <description>When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. For technical teams, their control over their environment is often limited to the technical tools they choose to use to implement their projects. Unfortunately, tooling alone doesn&#8217;t create better customer experiences, better end products, and happier employees; culture plays a major role.
Organizational culture is set from the top. The attitudes, values, and behaviors of an organization&#8217;s leadership forms the core of the organization&#8217;s culture. While some folks may feel disenchanted with the commodification of ideas like DevOps, there is still work to be done, helping organizations with their cultural challenges.
How can tech teams influence culture? How can individuals support and grow a more positive culture? Technology is not alone in the struggle for better organizational structures and relationships, and we&#8217;ll talk about some of the methods and research.</description>

                <abstract>DevOps spread has leveled out, it&apos;s no longer a fast growing mindset and set of accompanying tools. Some surveys show that 70% of people are still not automating their builds, let along production deployment. DevOps companies are facing growth challenges. It can feel like we&apos;re yet again re-discovering the early days of DevOps instead of evolving it to the next stage. Is this bad? Is it good? Is it expected? This talk is an analysis of slowing DevOps growth and what it means for you.</abstract>

                <description>We&apos;re in an era of low-growth DevOps. Recent surveys find that anywhere between 50% to 70% of respondents are not automating their builds and tests, let alone deployments to production. Survey respondents also say that only around 35% of their apps are managed with a DevOps mindset. Meanwhile, first and second generation DevOps companies are tinkering with OSS licenses or merging into mega-tech companies.  The business of DevOps is not what it used to be. Is this good? Is this bad? Is this expected? Is it helpful? How did platform engineering sneak into our party and drink all the cold beer? In this talk, Cot&#233; will give an analysis of DevOps usage and DevOps businesses 15 years later. So much has improved, and there&apos;s more improvement to come. Hopefully.</description>

                <abstract>Jim Collins&#8217; Five Stages of Decline shows how many great companies overstep themselves and suddenly find themselves falling, more and more rapidly. See, most startups only care about early growth&#8212;just like tech debt, we think we can always come back to sustainability after we&#8217;ve made it. Open source community is a great way to kickstart that initial success and growth. It&#8217;s practically free and your users are throwing contributions at you left and right....

We hit that peak much sooner than we anticipated and without having built a sustainable community foundation we shoot right off the cliff and go screaming down the decline on the other side. As we fall, we grasp at whatever straws we can, chasing new technologies or rapidly throwing new products at the wall hoping they&#8217;ll stick. Nothing does, of course. The accountants show up to bleed you dry, and then the lawyers finish you off.

And you? You&#8217;ve probably still got a few of those rad swag t-shirts from the heyday, right?

This doesn&#8217;t have to be the only story. David is here to tell you how to recognize when you&apos;ve reached maturity so you know how to ease into the long tail of maintenance, engaging and working with your community to build a long-term sustainable business, solving the problems your customers bring to you. It&#8217;s hard work and it takes every-single-day consistency. But it does get easier with practice.</abstract>
