Build Stuff 2017

As a former journalist, I tend to think in terms of storytelling. As an open source evangelist, I invite you to do the same. What you share on GitHub tells a story about you, your development practices, and your openness to others in the open source community. If you're motivated to gain users, contributors, and positive feedback about your projects, then building a compelling, coherent narrative is essential. In this talk, I'll share insights gained from "editing" Zalando's GitHub repository so we can tell a better story. From 400+ projects of widely differing quality, reliability and maintenance levels, we've winnowed our offerings to make our highest-quality work more discoverable. I'll share how we used GitHub and other tools to create guidelines, categories, and processes that bring sanity to our storytelling. If your organization is facing similar GitHub-bloat challenges, or looking for ways to manage your repos more effectively, you might find some help here.

Too many teams waste company money on a Sprint Zero that robs the business of valuable feedback from the very first sprint. Forget wasting time building servers and messing around tools and get right to the end result in the simplest and quickest way possible.

Come and see Martin show you at least one way to go from nothing to a DevOps utopia in under an hour.

Are you looking for ways to speed up? More rapidly then ever, companies are adopting technologies, tooling and practices that allow them to be so agile that it changes their culture overnight. Disruptors being disrupted within the year. Fast movers are faced with instant response of competitors. Longterm strategies, roadmaps and plans appear useless and are slowing you down. Kim van Wilgen, head of software development at the Dutch insurance softwarecompany ANVA, shows you how moving to continuous delivery will change the DNA of your company. Learn how continuous delivery will speed up your company and lead to new patterns in inventing, creating and delivering your products and propositions. How your thinking will change through the presence of fast feedback, short cycles and data-driven decision making. And how your organization will move to become high performing, creating a learning mindset from exploratory behavior at all levels and activities. It’s time to move to the continuous culture.

 Building Quality into your work, product and team is usually a multi-layered challenge. However, when you find ways of doing so, quality brings benefits of happy customers without putting your efficiency on the line.
This talk will focus on a day to day practices which help to improve on how we communicate, deliver and have fun along the way.

DevOps is the implementation of continuous delivery and agile concepts across the organization, focusing on pipelines as the main building blocks for delivery value internally and to the customer. But getting to that state is complicated because it requires several facets of work: People, process and tools. In large organizations, we have the added complexity of: • Multiple dependencies and sub systems • Multiple teams, groups, business units with competing interests • Varying degrees of agility, culture, tools, technologies and processes • Security, compliance and policy gates In this talk, we will discuss main patterns and anti-patterns for adopting and implementing DevOps pipelines throughout the organization, that scale.

This is a story about how we at JetBrains "bake" agile boards for different teams: product development, marketing, design, and technical writing. I will show live examples and explain various options that support different preferences and processes for each team.
This presentation will be interesting for everyone who has the drive to develop. These recipes are especially useful to anyone who thinks they don't have or don't need a process, or for those who do follow a process, but don't get results.
Surprisingly, this is a true sign that you understand the concept of agilezen. Any cook can follow a standard recipe. A real chef knows how to make small adjustments that make a big impact. To build an agile practice that works for you and your team, all you’re missing is the secret ingredient.
