STAREAST Automated Security Scanning for Your Delivery Pipeline
Slideshow

Agile development and DevOps depend on an automated pipeline to build, test, and deploy code quickly. Security is all too often viewed as a manual task that is too difficult to automate and is left for later—not a good decision!

STARCANADA Delivering the Goods: Harmonizing Regulated and Agile Practices

Agile DevOps East Shu-Ha-Ri Applied to Agile Leadership
Slideshow

Far too many agile instances either fail or underperform because the leadership team members don’t sufficiently understand agility and their role within it. They don’t understand the fundamentals or how to map them to effective execution. But the larger problem is that they (and the organization) are unaware of the gaps. In this session, we’ll explore a basic assessment model for determining agile leadership maturity as a means of gauging and improving leadership's understanding and your overall effectiveness in applying agile. You'll break into small groups and assess the leadership landscape for your organization, then map it back to some of your core challenges. We’ll be looking for common patterns and brainstorming methods for solutions, all focused on broadening and deepening the agile skill level of your leadership teams.

Agile DevOps East Make Agile Work for Any Team
Slideshow

Are parts of your organization embracing agile while others become more resistant, disconnected, or frustrated by the idea? Or maybe your team wants to be more agile but it isn’t sure how to get started because it’s not a typical development team. Agile has been moving out of software and being embraced by nondevelopment teams for years, but it’s not always a great experience. How can we make the best parts of agility relevant to any team? This hands-on session will show you how to start teams down the path to “being agile” by taking a teamwork-centered approach. With examples from a variety of teams and company cultures, you'll learn how to make agile concepts and team building easy to apply across the organization. You'll take back a model for team building, get an approach to engaging teams, and learn how to manage any challenges that arise.
