Software Delivery Leadership Forum

Regulatory, audit and governance requirements are not the only concern of the finance industry, but there’s a lot to be learned from DevOps pioneers in that sector. Securing the software delivery pipeline, ensuring engineering and operations teams adhere to policy, and keeping everything audit ready is how any regulated organization should operate.

Join leaders from Fidelity Investments, Accelerated Strategies Group and CloudBees as we examine the challenges and lessons learned when implementing governance and security requirements in closely controlled environments.

Key takeaways will include:

• What regulators will, and will not, accept as compliance evidence

• What internal stakeholders want to see (and how to win them over)

• The three most important actions to take on your own regulatory journey

Info/AppSec have long been thought of as the wet-towel to your DevOps efforts. Today, teams are embracing DevSecOps practices to enable – and enforce – security, compliance and auditability requirements at every stage of software development.

Join us on Thursday, May 27, 1:00pm ET | 10:00am PT for this session as we discuss:

• Challenges implementing security and compliance controls

• How to make Security the “path of least resistance” for Dev and Ops

• Industry specific regulations and compliance requirements

Automation and Artificial Intelligence are changing how humans interact with technology, colleagues, and jobs. Join us to discuss how these supporting technologies can help organizations rapidly adjust to today’s changed environment,  and how they will impact the future of work. In this episode of the SDLF, we will discuss:

• How automation & AI creates new work opportunities

• How organizations use automation to de-risk work

• Ethical and moral implications of AI and automation

We know your process is complex, touches many stakeholders with varied requirements and responsibilities. How do you measure Agility? Reliability? Efficiency? Quality? Success?! What does the ideal dashboard look like for Dev? For Ops? For the business? And how would it change over time? In this SDLF session, we will discuss:

• What Metrics Matter for Dev and Ops?

• What Metrics Matter for the Business?

• What Other Metrics Matter?

• Is there "OMTM" for your Whole Organization?

Communication and collaboration are critical to success in any software organization. Today, in the face of extreme disruption, they are even more critical. Join us to learn how organizations are using DevOps principles and practices to respond rapidly to changing needs and unprecedented demand.

Enterprises are under more pressure than ever to innovate and do it fast. To meet this challenge they are adopting new software practices and technologies. But, unlike small startups, these enterprises must continue to deliver mission-critical,revenue-generating applications across legacy, traditional and modern applications while ensuring security and controlling risk.

It’s been ten years since the idea of DevOps was introduced, yet Dev and Ops silos still exist, injecting significant friction and waste in the end-to-end process. Moreover, most organizations still struggle to measure the business impact of IT in general and of software in particular.

We’ll discuss The Humans of DevOps. Our featured speaker will kick us off with a thirty minute presentation to review their recently published Upskilling research report with an emphasis on data collected in the European market. We’ll discuss the implications this data has on hiring, managing, and growing high performing teams.

In many enterprises, DevOps transformations put the lens on Culture, Measurement and Sharing. However, the teams with boots on the ground will tell you that Automation plays a significant role, providing a solid foundation for consistent measurement and healthy culture to emerge. In this session we will take a look at the DevOps toolchain, and discuss automated CI, CD, Release Orchestration and Feature Flagging as a way to support a sustainable digital transformation for your entire enterprise.
