Speakers | DevOps Enterprise
The Agile, Continuous Delivery and DevOps Transformation Summit

should be an awesome event!

Thats an impressive line up of speakers for sure

Looking forward to hearing about their DevOps and Continuous Delivery experiences

WOW, reach for this conversation just passed 1M, thanks everyone for the participation.

woohoo!

Courtney Kissler (Senior Director, Selling Technology Management at Nordstrom) will be talking about “Transforming to a Culture of Continuous Improvement.” What are your best practices that you've learned?

Courtney Kissler (hiring)

We are going transforming our organization to be focused on speed to value with zero waste. For us, that means truly understanding the value stream and how to reduce cycle time.

Courtney Kissler (hiring)

The practice of problem solving, using A3s, getting to true root cause and having our leaders teach/coach and honor reality have been some of the practices we are implementing. It's a journey.

Transformation is the biggest theme since two inflection points ago :-)

Courtney: I love hearing the practitioners perspective when rolling out modern infra/software

Courtney Kissler (hiring)

Looking forward to sharing more of our story.

Elisabeth Hendrickson

"speed to value with zero waste" --> I LOVE THIS

Courtney, sounds like a fascinating organizational and process transfromation. Can't wait to hear the full story at #DOES14

Courtney Kissler (hiring)

@testobsessed Thanks! I got challenged by a few of our Senior Leaders when I first put that out there. "Zero waste - how could that ever happen?!?!" Well, let's not set our bar too low. ;-)

Because everything is now capable of being connected to the internet (thus increasing our proximity to risk), how does everyone see software practices adapt in the future? #DOES14 #IoT

[+] Show Hidden Comments

I see advances in adaptive software (compiler like) and for other automation/orchestration capability on the fly

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Smart Products will drive other key changes for CD

Elisabeth Hendrickson

I think we'll see increasing emphasis on security engineering.

@furrier @stbrodie interesting

@testobsessed agreed!

Look at the rise of the Intelligent Automobile that is Connected and Automated (self-driving). In the future your car will connect to back-end IT/cloud services and you car will also communicate with other vehicles and the transportation infrastructure

People will expect the frequency of updates they see now on their iPhones (no 8.0.1 jokes) for all things. Too many consumer systems have lived in a world of single releases for too long.

Protocol design (handshaking, failsafes, security, authentication, etc.) must be both incredibly complex and incredibly elegant if we want to connect everything to everything.

With next-gen embedded software products, testing will become even more complex. And the software on that product will increasingly be patched and updated over-the-air (OTA). Look at how Tesla address their last product "recall" with a SW patch

@stbrodie Tesla is the crown jewel of CD in the embedded world.

@stbrodie great example of @teslamotors & #IoT

David Ashman - agreed!

Yep, read this link to go "Wow, we live in the future": http://www.technolog...

Scott Prugh @ScottPrugh (the Chief Architect at CSG International) what are the key takeaways from your session, “DevOps & Lean in Legacy Environments”? Can you give us a taste of the content? :-)

We've got a great party planned at the DevOps Enterprise Summit. We'll host our party at the Computer History Museum with a cool Back to the Future theme including the Delorean time machine, classic arcade games, 80s music, and more

FUN!

Will there be 80s drinks?

Dammit, wish I could be there. Clash with an EMEA trip though. I bet it will be a blast. :)

@furrier LOL, I DEMAND A FLUFFY DUCK!!!

1.21 gigawatts!

@AndiMann I love The Clash - great band

@furrier (or maybe a grasshopper)

@furrier Oh yeah!!! Lot's of 80s drinks - wine coolers :-)

Bring your big hair!!

As for 80s music - I was a DJ in the 80s, that is like my special subject! ;-)

@furrier LOL, well, yes, me too. (Took me far too long to get that pun)

@AndiMann DJ battle royale is in order. :)

@AndiMann Perhaps we';ve found our DJ for the event then Andi!! :-)

@catpoetry LOL, would not be my first! Does that even happen anymore? Don't DJs just set their Macs to autopilot and go dance these days? #ShowingMyAge #GetOffMyLawn

We just had the #openstackSV event there and it was a great venue

theme and location sounds exactly like #devopsdays silicon valley

At the event Elisabeth Hendricksen is the Director of Quality Engineering at Pivotal Labs is presenting “On the Care and Feeding of Feedback Cycles” about? @testobsessed what is this about?

Can you share your thesis on the talk?

[+] Show Hidden Comments

Elisabeth Hendrickson

Feedback comes in many forms, only some of which are traditionally considered testing. This talk catalogs various types of feedback and how to make sure you're getting enough of it.

Courtney Kissler (hiring)

@testobsessed Thumbs up!

Is it more big data or software in the cloud?

@testobsessed What are some of the other types of feedback Elisabeth?

@testobsessed Excellent! I hope to see this at some stage (I sadly have to miss the event). I have a 4-vector model of devops feedback I am working on, planning to post about it next week. Would love to see your preso, and compare notes sometime.\

Elisabeth Hendrickson

It's applicable to any software-related context.

@testobsessed Agreed. Everyone is focused on deployment but feedback loops (what they are and how to make them shorter) is the key to DevOps success!

@stbrodie feedback on...
...code with unit/integration tests
...a build with CI
...emergent behavior of the system with exploratory testing
...intentions with user testing
...business model with the lean startup build/measure/learn cycle

@testobsessed Can't wait to hear your talk
