Quality vs. speed

• low quality slows you down
• technical debt

• impact on the future
=> Quality AND speed

The general principle of software quality is:
Improving quality reduces development cost.
You don’t have to choose between quality, cost and timethey all go hand in hand.
Steve McConnell

Maintaining quality

• Manually testing
• Test department
=> not sufficient for short cycles
• Test driven development
• Specification by example
• Pair programming / Code reviews
=> fast feedback

Maintaining quality

• external feedback via early delivery

Self organisation
“Hierarchy is great for maintaining predictability and
repeatability. It simplifies planning and makes it easier to
control a large group of people from the top down, which
is why military organizations rely on it so heavily.
But when you’re an entertainment company that’s spent
the last decade going out of its way to recruit the most
intelligent, innovative, talented people on Earth, telling
them to sit at a desk and do what they’re told obliterates
99 percent of their value.”

Responsibility

“Why does your desk have wheels?
Think of those wheels as a symbolic reminder that you
should always be considering where you could move
yourself to be more valuable.”

New employees join your organization, only to arrive with no workstation, no user profile, and no access to critical systems. You’ve built an onboarding process, but steps are missed occasionally and it takes weeks before new employees are fully able to do the job they were hired for. Or perhaps you’ve just had a key employee leave the company to work for a competitor. Are you certain that the individual’s access to business-critical systems has been deactivated? Companies like yours face these problems daily while trying to manually manage the acquisition and termination of employees. In many cases, companies don’t even realize they have left access to business systems open to exiting employees, exposing both the organization and its customers to risk.

We've all experienced it; attempt after attempt to bring contemporary transformation to the workplace, only to be attacked by 'the old guard' of the technology landscape. In 2016, companies are learning that many old methods/processes/technologies have zombified, or are already infected and dying. Old world solutions, powered by the fear of the new, the uncertainty of change and the doubt that it will scale, are quickly limiting companies by their inability to rapidly change. However a growing numbers of CIO's, and leadership teams have embraced the 'full stack' revolution and are reaping the benefits of true Mode 2 transformation. We'd like to share some insight from real world customers who've built 'new world' material ecosystems that stands the rigour of these internal and external threats. Leaders and technologists who've leaned into change and avoided becoming another member of 'the walking dead'. Topics Include: Strategies to deliver elastic, utility cloud across your enterprise. Square peg, round hole & your Operating Model – Mode 2. Don't bypass Service Management – (hint: it's not faster). Tips & Tricks. Belligerent, aggressive automation – JDI. Tales from the Battlefield – a real world example. Speaker: Thor Essman, CEO, Versent & James Coxon, GM, Cloud & Digital, Founder, Versent

This session examines the multitude of disruptive technologies that are destroying some of our clients’ traditional business models while simultaneously creating great new opportunities for others. As a trusted advisor, you need to understand these threats, identify them, and be ready to help your clients not only survive, but thrive in the face of this upheaval. You’ll be amazed (and probably troubled) as we discuss today’s “buggy whip manufacturers”!

This presentation was used to explain how the UK Government has used a Cloud First policy to break away from the need to commission “special for government” IT in order to benefit from innovative, and more affordable, cloud commodity services served over the public internet. This has meant a fresh look at security accreditation and adoption of COTS applications that can be deployed in minutes and not months or sometimes years. Cloud collaboration services, that have the correct security credentials, have become very popular and John will provide case study examples and best practice advice as to how public and private sector organisations have introduced new and effective collaborative ways of working.

WSO2Con EU 2015: Keynote - Cloud Native Apps… from a user point of view

WSO2

One of the most over-used terms in technology today, the “Cloud” is being used to describe pretty much any service that works over the Internet. But cloud computing has some specific advantages and some specific concerns. There are also three main areas where cloud computing is making a lot of business sense: in running business applications, in provide storage services, and in providing an alternative to computer servers. In this presentation, I will better define what the cloud is and isn’t and then explore the areas where cloud services are providing value. I also give you tips on evaluating future cloud service providers so that you can continue to understand this new computing paradigm.

Created by Mozilla Research in 2012 and now part of Linux Foundation Europe, the Servo project is an experimental rendering engine written in Rust. It combines memory safety and concurrency to create an independent, modular, and embeddable rendering engine that adheres to web standards. Stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020, where its mission remains unchanged. After some slow years, in 2023 there has been renewed activity on the project, with a roadmap now focused on improving the engine’s CSS 2 conformance, exploring Android support, and making Servo a practical embeddable rendering engine. In this presentation, Rakhi Sharma reviews the status of the project, our recent developments in 2023, our collaboration with Tauri to make Servo an easy-to-use embeddable rendering engine, and our plans for the future to make Servo an alternative web rendering engine for the embedded devices industry.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/why-teams-call-analytics-is-critical-to-your-entire-business Nothing is as frustrating and noticeable as being in an important call and being unable to see or hear the other person. Not surprising then, that issues with Teams calls are among the most common problems users call their helpdesk for. Having in depth insight into everything relevant going on at the user’s device, local network, ISP and Microsoft itself during the call is crucial for good Microsoft Teams Call quality support. To ensure a quick and adequate solution and to ensure your users get the most out of their Microsoft 365. But did you know that ‘bad calls’ are also an excellent indicator of other problems arising? Precisely because it is so noticeable!? Like the canary in the mine, bad calls can be early indicators of problems. Problems that might otherwise not have been noticed for a while but can have a big impact on productivity and satisfaction. Join this session by Christoph Adler to learn how true Microsoft Teams call quality analytics helped other organizations troubleshoot bad calls and identify and fix problems that impacted Teams calls or the use of Microsoft365 in general. See what it can do to keep your users happy and productive! In this session we will cover - Why CQD data alone is not enough to troubleshoot call problems - The importance of attributing call problems to the right call participant - What call quality analytics can do to help you quickly find, fix-, and prevent problems - Why having retrospective detailed insights matters - Real life examples of how others have used Microsoft Teams call quality monitoring to problem shoot problems with their ISP, network, device health and more.

In the thrilling conclusion to 2023, ransomware groups had a banner year, really outdoing themselves in the "make everyone's life miserable" department. LockBit 3.0 took gold in the hacking olympics, followed by the plucky upstarts Clop and ALPHV/BlackCat. Apparently, 48% of organizations were feeling left out and decided to get in on the cyber attack action. Business services won the "most likely to get digitally mugged" award, with education and retail nipping at their heels. Hackers expanded their repertoire beyond boring old encryption to the much more exciting world of extortion. The US, UK and Canada took top honors in the "countries most likely to pay up" category. Bitcoins were the currency of choice for discerning hackers, because who doesn't love untraceable money?
