Jeff Gothelf
co-author of Sense and Respond, Lean UX and Lean vs Agile vs Design Thinking

Roadmapping is a flawed concept in the age of Agile. Maps, by their definition, are linear and we don’t build linear products and services any more. We build continuous systems. Nevertheless, we have to be able to create and provide some plans for our teams, leaders and customers to set expectations about the ongoing improvements and future of the services we build. In this talk, Jeff Gothelf will discuss the concept of outcome-based product planning. Using specific examples and detailed tools, Jeff will show how taking a customer-centric look at product strategy and creating continuously improving plans ensures the teams maintain their agility, customer-focus and ultimately, the success of their product.

In this talk, we’ll explore how the patterns and principles from Team Topologies promote true business and technical agility through a rapid flow of software change, fast feedback from running systems, a strong drive for loose coupling, and awareness of sociotechnical mirroring. Combined with a product mindset and techniques from Domain-driven Design, the Team Topologies approach is helping organizations around the world to adapt to the “new normal” and achieve true business and technical agility.

This talk describes our journey from a rather mechanical Agile transformation, to a deeper, more meaningful transformation which relies on profound self organization and a flat organization.
Having gone through this mindset shift, we now have high performing teams, and feel our transformation to Agile is providing huge benefits.
We will make the case for going through such a radical transformation, and detail the mechanisms we put in place to make it happen”

Dave Farley,
co-author of the Jolt-award winning book ‘Continuous Delivery’, Founder and director of Continuous Delivery Ltd

As teams mature in their adoption of Continuous Delivery though, the pipeline often begins to slow. We have more tests, we are testing more complex things, our software becomes more complex and more difficult to deploy. How do we address these growing pains? What are the next steps, beyond the CD beginner’s basic automation? How do we optimise our pipelines to meet our needs as these needs grow? This talk will address the growing pains in Continuous Delivery and describe some strategies to cope with them.”
