POST-FORUM WORKSHOPS: FRIDAY, 15 JANUARY 2019 (MELBOURNE) | 25 FEBRUARY 2019 (SYDNEY)

Workshop A: A Complete Guide: Developing a Successful DevOps Implementation Roadmap with Continuous Development, Testing, Integration and Deployment

This workshop serves as an all-rounded introduction session on the essentials of DevOps in today’s digital ecosystem. Hear from our exceptional workshop leader on:

• Steps to introduce and embrace DevOps in your organization: Continuous Development, Continuous Testing, Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment.
• Adjusting and adapting suitable team structures for DevOps
• Understanding the architectural changes required to introduce testability and continuous deployment and different open source tools available for DevOps.
• Aligning the end-goal of your DevOps projects with organisational objectives and goals
• Setting clear benchmarks, KPIs for project evaluation and sustainability
• Avoiding potential pitfalls in DevOps project implementation

Developing a squad of cross-functional DevOps practitioners can be extremely challenging – especially to meet the ever increasing demand of quality at speed & to shift testing to the left to make deployments faster, better and smarter. One tool may not be sufficient for our testing needs – we may have to select a range of toolsets to automate the functional and non-functional elements (performance & security) & orchestrate the solutions in the build pipeline. This will ensure early detection of bugs & foster a culture of collaboration as well. Production deployment can be reduced to mere non-events by deploying values in smaller chunks but continuously. Targeted test automation can also assist in Post production monitoring.

Participants will get a hands-on exposure of working in a team & finding out scenarios using modern techniques like Specification By Example, automating the testing scenarios, integrating functional & non-functional testing solutions to the CI/CD pipeline, deploying the code to Pre-Production & subsequently to Production environments. We’ll create an environment of failing fast & delivering quality customer outcome.

Workshop B – Scaling the DevOps Success: Powering a Continuous Delivery Environment at Large, Traditional Enterprises through Effective Change Management and Tooling Strategies

While DevOps has long been identified as a source of competitive advantage in a digital ecosystem, very few organizations have successfully delivered on the promises of this evolutionary way of working for technology teams. This is especially the case for traditionally large and siloed organizations where scaling is an uphill battle of cultural resistance, disparate tooling and legacy systems, deep-rooted silos, and thousands of recommendations from across the web.

This workshop will provide one the opportunity to learn how leaders of the world’s top software teams get a massive return on investment from their engineering efforts by focusing on developer automation. Gain insights, tips and simple, yet comprehensive, leadership blueprint that you can use to scale quick wins across your organization, get buy-in and investment from your company, and align your team.
