Getting software released to users is often a painful, risky, and time-consuming process. The practice of continuous delivery sets out the principles and technical practices that enable rapid, low-risk delivery of high quality, valuable new functionality to users. Through automation of the build, deployment, and testing process, and improved collaboration between developers, testers and IT operations, teams can get changes released in a matter of hours—sometimes even minutes—no matter what the size of the product or the complexity of the enterprise environment.

In this workshop, Jez Humble presents an in-depth guide to the principles and practices behind continuous delivery and the DevOps movement, along with case studies from real companies and ideas to help you adopt continuous delivery and DevOps within your organization. You’ll start by learning the value proposition and the foundations that enable continuous delivery, followed by an introduction to the pattern at the heart of continuous delivery–the deployment pipeline. The training then dives into the key development practices of continuous integration and comprehensive test automation. These lessons cover change management, agile infrastructure management, managing databases, architecture, and the patterns that enable low-risk releases. They conclude by discussing the culture and organizational change patterns of high performing companies. After taking this training, you will understand not just the principles and practices that enable continuous delivery and devops, but also how they are implemented in high performing organizations. With this knowledge you’ll be ready to transform your organization’s software delivery capability to get high quality solutions to market fast, while reducing the risk of the release process.

 
 

Outline/Structure of the Workshop

Unit 1: Introduction to Continuous Delivery

This lesson introduces the key principles and practices at the heart of continuous delivery. It looks at the principles of continuous delivery and its value proposition, followed by a presentation of the core practices that make it work. It then moves on to examine the deployment pipeline, the pattern at the core of continuous delivery, and then presents a case study.

Unit 2: Automated Acceptance Testing

This lesson dives deep into automated acceptance testing, beginning with a review of the landscape of test automation and proceeding into a discussion of architecture and process that enable effective automated acceptance testing. It then shows how to interact with the system under test and discusses how to curate suites of tests to ensure they are maintainable. Next, it shows how to deal with test failures and how to manage test data. Finally, it summarizes the key principles behind creating maintainable suites of automated acceptance tests.

Unit 3: Continuous Integration and Feature Branching

This lesson covers continuous integration and feature branching, beginning with an overview of the two practices followed by a discussion of the various trade-offs between the techniques.

Unit 4: Going Live

This lesson discusses how to release software into production, beginning with a presentation of the expand/contract pattern for immutable deployments. It then follows with a discussion of how to reduce the risk of deployments by decoupling them from releases.

Unit 5: Managing Data

This lesson covers how to manage evolutionary database change, including continuous integration with databases.

Unit 6: Devops and Infrastructure as Code

This lesson journeys into the heart of Devops, including a discussion of the key concepts followed by an examination of the core idea of infrastructure-as-code.

Unit 7: Architecting for Continuous Delivery

This lesson covers how to architect for continuous delivery, beginning with a discussion of componentized and service-oriented architectures. It then shows how to evolve your architecture in order to support continuous delivery.

Unit 8: Adopting Continuous Delivery

This final lesson is devoted to adopting continuous delivery, beginning with a presentation on the characteristics of high performing organizations and concluding with a discussion on deploying continuous delivery.

    Agile, OOP... are like good hygiene in the kitchen, it results in meals with consistent quality and predictable prep and service times. It doesn't result in great meals nor substantially impact the ROI! Lean Thinking clearly shows that the only way to make a significant impact is to improve the value chain by improving flow. If everyone is following best practices no one has competitive advantage. Major improvements in the value chain depend on continued disruptive innovations. Innovations leverage people and their ideas. We use case studies to illustrate the different business and technical innovations and their impact. We conclude with a discussion of how to build and leverage an innovation culture versus a sprint death march when dealing with high value time to market projects.

    Genuine agility is enormously effective in helping us achieve our dreams. The trouble is, Agile has grown into a complex tangle of roles and rituals, frameworks and tools, processes and certifications. We need a return to simplicity. Modern Agile is here to help.

    Designed for people in many domains (not just IT), Modern Agile is defined by four guiding principles:

    • Make People Awesome,
    • Make Safety a Prerequisite,
    • Experiment & Learn Rapidly and
    • Deliver Value Continuously.

    Understanding and deeply practicing these four principles will help you get better results faster.

    In this talk I’ll share how these four principles power world-famous companies and how they can help you work with greater speed, simplicity, safety and success.

    Fennande van der Meulen / Maartje Wolff - The Power of Purpose - workshop on How purpose drives employee happiness and company results

    90 Mins
    Workshop
    Beginner

    Having a clear purpose in both life and work is essential to happiness. And, science and business support this view. Companies with a clear purpose perform better than companies without. Purpose is increasingly seen as the key to navigate the volatile and complex world we live in. And, people with a purpose in their live longer and are healthier. However, finding your purpose, your personal and companies purpose, is not an easy task. In this workshop we discuss what purpose means and key elements of a sustainable and meaningful purpose. We elaborate the four steps to identify the company purpose and how to build your business around it.

    As we reflect back on our numerous struggles with making Agile Teams more efficient and operate like well-oiled machines, we are often overwhelmed with wondering how we didn’t learn the lessons faster or earlier.  Life is too short to learn from just our own mistakes – we have to learn from others’ mistakes as well.

    In this session, Dipesh will be drawing upon more than a decade of Agile experiences in multiple organizations across nine countries to share stories and challenges of transitioning into an Agile Leader, while also focusing on what we in the Agile community are struggling with most.

    There has been a lot written about techniques for creating great Agile teams.  Dipesh will take these theories a bit further, and look into how Leaders can build great teams, not by using a new method or management style, but rather by understanding their own Agile team dynamics and behaviour.  

    You will learn about the assumptions and challenges surrounding self-organizing Agile teams and how to build a stronger team of Servant Leaders.

    If you are a leader or an aspiring leader of an Agile team, this session will provide clear implications for where to focus your efforts so that you do not worry about the wrong things. You will be inspired by knowing how to establish trust within the teams that is required to embrace uncertainty and ambiguity while confidently making better decisions.

    This talk is based on story-telling, where Bas will share the creation of LeSS and within that side-track on explaining better how LeSS works.

    LeSS is a lightweight (agile) framework for scaling Scrum to more than one team. It was extracted out of the experiences of Bas Vodde and Craig Larman while Scaling Agile development in many different types of companies, products and industries over the last ten years. There are several case studies available and an upcoming book describing LeSS in detail.

    LeSS consists of the LeSS Principles, the Framework, the Guides and a set of experiments. The LeSS framework is divided into two frameworks: basic LeSS for 2-8 teams and LeSS Huge for 8+ teams. All of these are also available on the less.works website.

    LeSS is different with other scaling frameworks in the sense that it provides a very minimalistic framework that enables empiricism on a large-scale which enables the teams and organization to inspect-adapt their implementation based on their experiences and context. LeSS is based on the idea that providing too much rules, roles, artifacts and asking the organization to tailor it down is a fundamentally flawed approach and instead scaling frameworks should be minimalistic and allowing organizations to fill them in.

    Julian - The Gamification of the on-boarding and Engaging People

    45 Mins
    Case Study
    Advanced
    According to Glassdoor.com that counts over 18 million users per month (15 millions are in USA) one new employee out of 6 quits his new job in the first 3 months. 1/3 of employees quit their job within the first 6 months. Out of this 1/3, 1 in 3 cited insufficient on-boarding services. Nearly 1/4 said that a properly managed on-boarding process would have helped persuade them to stay in their positions. Considering the average recruitment costs (the Head Hunter, the total hours dedicated to the candidates’ screening, the interviews, the tests, the final interview, the stress of the Team waiting for the new colleague or boss…), why are companies not paying attention to this very crucial moment in people’s careers? It is like going to a travel agency, book the trip of your dreams, the travel agent has promised you to send you to the most beautiful resort ever and when you land, the guy forgot to tell you it is rain season…
    Maybe we can offer a better plan after all.
