SUMMARY:QCon San Francisco 2024
DESCRIPTION:I’m attending QCon San Francisco as a dedicated reporter for InfoQ\, doing virtual panels with the speakers and covering topics of the sessions. \n \nQCon San Fransisco\nMake the right decisions by uncovering how senior software developers at early adopter companies are adopting emerging trends. \nLearn the emerging trends. Explore the use cases. Implement the best practices. \nWe’ve helped thousands of senior software engineers\, software architects and tech leaders adopt the right patterns & practices for over 18 years. \nInfoQ\nSoftware is changing the world\, and our mission is to help dev teams adopt new technologies and practices. InfoQ provides software engineers with the opportunity to share experiences gained using innovator and early adopter stage techniques and technologies with the wider industry. We carefully curate and peer review everything we publish. We strongly believe that the high quality insights\, offered by both our editors and other contributors\, have the power to uplift entire communities\, no matter what their native language. \nOver 550K global senior software developers rely on the InfoQ community every month to keep ahead of the adoption curve. Our community editors aim to ensure that our readers never miss out on important trends. One of the main reasons software architects and engineers tell us they keep coming back to InfoQ is because they trust the information provided and selected by their peers.

SUMMARY:Workshop on Problem-solving and keynote on Gamification at DevOpsCon Singapore 2024
DESCRIPTION:I’m returning to DevOpsCon Singapore to give the workshop Fostering an Agile Culture for Effective Problem Solving and a keynote on Improving Agile Development and Operations With Gamification. Join me on November 25-28. \n \nWorkshop Fostering an Agile Culture for Effective Problem Solving\nPractice culture change\, learn how to increase team autonomy and morale for effective problem-solving\, and explore retrospectives to increase business agility in this interactive workshop. \nAdopting agile often doesn’t live up to its promise of delivering better products fast at lower costs. The missing ingredients that cause failure have to do with an insufficient agile mindset and difficulties in changing to a culture of agile thinking and acting. An agile culture is the foundation for a collaborative way of working and business agility\, it is a key factor that you need to work on. \nIn this workshop\, we’ll explore how organizations can visualize their culture. We learn how organizations can foster a mindset and culture change toward agility and how they can apply agile DevOps practices and capabilities to deliver value frequently and fast. \nWe’ll explore how team autonomy and morale can be increased by playing the Agile Impediment Board Game. Using gamification we’ll practice effective collaborative problem-solving techniques. \nFinally\, we’ll see how agile retrospectives can be used to establish continuous improvement with effective communication and collaboration\, to increase the agility of teams and the organization. \nAttendees get free downloadable copies of the Culture Cards\, Impediment Board Game\, and ebook Problem? What Problem? (value $40). \nGamify It Until You Make It: Improving Agile Development and Operations With Gamification\nSo many challenges\, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational\, we also need to sharpen the saw\, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people. \nIn this keynote\, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with. The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change\, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs. \nBy playing games\, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games\, exercises\, and coaching cards to discuss values\, principles\, and practices\, and share their experiences and learnings. Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats. \nDevOpsCon Singapore\nDevOps is fundamentally changing the IT world and sets the path for successful business transformation. Join DevOpsCon to learn about the latest tools. \nHow do cloud platforms\, microservices\, and Kubernetes play together with comprehensive automation and continuous delivery? How can you handle increasing complexity in your organization? \nAt DevOpsCon\, you will meet internationally recognized thought leaders of the DevOps movement and benefit from their expertise.
