35 years ago, Eliyahu Goldratt introduced the Theory of Constraints (ToC) in his seminal book "The Goal" as a new management paradigm for manufacturing plants, struggling with excess inventory, late deliveries, poor quality. The ToC solved this through five focusing steps - a guideline to systematic improvement and continuous learning.
Today, the ToC is one of the pillars of the DevOps movement. This talk will present its principles, and how it applies to the software industry, through a mix of theory, stories and experiences, and practical advice.
Target Audience: Architects, Developers, Project Leaders, Managers, Decision Makers
Prerequisites: Some previous knowledge of software delivery is helpful, but not required
Level: Basic
He strives to help customers to build and improve not only their product, but also how it is made.
He is a passionate advocate for collaborative work environments, knowledge sharing, and diversity.
On the side, he founded ThinkingLabs where he advises organisations in the adoption of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery.
Thierry is a lean software engineer, junior ops engineer, CI/CD advocate and jack-of-all-trades with a passion to help teams create meaningful software, with a keen eye for code quality and the software delivery process, from customer interaction to continuous delivery. Instead of balancing quality and delivery, he believes and practices, that better quality is actually a way to more and better deliveries.
This talk will provide insights for a successful integration of lean-quality management to scaled agile projects. We will show based on our project experience that by improving process quality, higher product quality is achieved, resulting in significantly increased customer satisfaction. We will share how the lean principles and an easy-to-use toolkit helped us to tackle complex problems by providing a proven and scalable approach for continuous improvement and boost business agility at the same time.
Target Audience: Quality & Test Engineers, Agile Coaches, Project Managers, Quality Managers
Prerequisites: Solid agile knowledge, basic lean understanding, basic understanding of quality assurance
Level: Advanced

AI is maybe the most powerful tool our generation has available. Andrew NG called it "the new electricity". But what does it take to build AI enabled products? What are the key elements to achieve production grade AI? How does it impact your development process? How can quality be achieved? These are the questions this talk tries to answer. You will get an idea why the industry is talking about nothing less than a paradigm shift when it comes to developing AI based products.
Target Audience: Everyone interested in the shift from classical software engineering to data driven AI applications
Prerequisites: Interested in AI, how it works and its impact on engineering departments
Level: Advanced
Extended Abstract:
AI is maybe the most powerful tool our generation has available. Andrew NG called it "the new electricity". Most likely you used an AI based product within the last 3 hours, maybe without even noticing it. But what does it take to build AI enabled products? What are the key elements to achieve production grade AI? How does it impact your development process? How can quality be achieved? These are the questions this talk tries to answer. In addition we will look into the different stages of AI development and the tools which can help to make this process more efficient. You will get an idea why the industry is talking about nothing less than a paradigm shift when it comes to developing AI based products.
Whether evolution or revolution, or yet old wine in new skins, for more than 10 years, DevOps is changing how we develop and deliver software. This session looks back on the roots of DevOps, its movement until today, and current as well as possible future directions. This interactive session aims to offer a set of fruitful starting points for reflection and discussions.
Target Audience: Anyone interested in developing and delivering software
Prerequisites: Knowledge in DevOps and agile software development
Level: Advanced

After years of introducing “CI”/CD-Pipelines, after using Jenkins, CircleCI, Docker and K8s, your teams still don’t deliver software within minutes? And your customers still know about bugs before you do? Well, maybe you’re doing it wrong.
We’ll share our experiences on how to incrementally get organisations and systems to be able to leverage all the things associated with “continuous everything”. We argue for solutions tailored to individual situations, and more connected to software craftsmanship than to buzzwords and boxed solutions.
Target Audience: Everyone with the challenge to get functionality to customers - quick
Prerequisites: Some knowledge about general software development
Level: Advanced

Maybe designing the perfect world during your first sprint just doesn’t cut it. The beautiful docker scaling idea just doesn’t work, because the “microservice” can only run in one instance at a time. The testautomation framework the Ops team provided can unfortunately not test your windows application. Your elasticsearch needs more and more space, but none of the developers have removed a single exception notification. The awesome buildpipeline with the included tests has a great dashboard that shows a red build continuously, but no one cares and you still do hotfixes on the production system. And your last major “refactoring” branch has been running green for the last two month, but you just can’t merge it back into your production code without breaking a few minds.
Well, maybe you’re doing it wrong.
Companies that successfully employ continuous delivery usually don’t excel in their tools. They excel in the architecture of their software, they excel in the way the people in the company work together, they excel in the way everyone actually understands what they are doing. In such environments people are not afraid of magic things that might happen in some unknown system, but leverage tools to automate things they themselves know how to do - so good that it gets boring and thus these tasks are better done by tools.
We’ll share our experiences on how to incrementally get organisations and systems to be able to leverage all the things associated with “continuous everything”. We argue for solutions tailored to individual situations, and more connected to software craftsmanship than to buzzwords and boxed solutions.

Introducing SRE is a challenging endeavor. Not only does it involve technological choices and practices but also processes, organization and culture. This talk will walk through the evolution of operations/SRE at Instana. Starting in the early days with just a handful of well-meaning family-and-friends customers over platform re-architectures and team growth to the present day with customers all around the world and 365/24/7 operations. It will touch the key challenges we had to face in each of these phases and how we approached them.
Target Audience: Developers, Operators, DevOps, Project Leads, Managers
Prerequisites: None
Level: Basic
DevOps as a software engineering practice unifies software development (Dev) and software operation (Ops). To assist with quality delivery in with DevOps you need to provide a “Quality Delivery Pipeline” to assure the delivery meets the requirements and proper validation and checks are done before releasing into full production. This talk will focus on the “Quality Delivery Pipeline” as a practice that can help sustain delivering with confidence by addressing important qualities in the pipeline.
Target Audience: English, Developers, Architects, QAs, Testers, Product Owners
Prerequisites: Basic Understanding of architecture and microservices and familiarity with DevOps
Level: Advanced
Extended Abstract:
Many software development processes such as Agile and Lean focus on the delivery of working software that meets the needs of the end-users. Many of these development processes help teams respond to unpredictability through incremental, iterative work cadences, and through empirical feedback. There is a commitment to quickly deliver reliable working software that has the highest value to those using or benefiting from the software. DevOps has become a common practice to assist with quality delivery in these practices, specifically when developing using the microservices architectural style. DevOps as a software engineering practice unifies software development (Dev) and software operation (Ops). To assist with quality delivery in these practices you need to provide a “Quality Delivery Pipeline” to help assure the delivery meets the requirements and proper validation and checks are done before releasing into full production. At the end of the pipeline the validated system will be deployed into production. There are various deployment techniques to help successfully and reliably deploy more quickly. The goal is to give confidence by providing "reliable, working software" to the user (making the user confident in the system). Also, the teams will have more confidence the system is working. This talk will focus on the “Quality Delivery Pipeline” as a practice that can help sustain delivering with confidence by addressing important qualities in the pipeline.
