In this talk, Matthew Skelton explores how to use the four fundamental team types and three team interaction modes from Team Topologies to detect and correct problems within organizations building systems. Awkwardness in team interactions become signals for us to detect and use to change the shape of the organization for strategic advantage.

In this talk, Ash Winter shares his experience of adding value as a tester in a continuous delivery environment, using your Production environment as an oracle, advocating testability and most crucially, not overestimating what our testing can achieve. Testing is not the only form of feedback, it’s time to let go of some the aspects of testing we cling to.

Ten years of DevOps has fundamentally changed the way that many organisations deliver and operate software, yet for many there is still much confusion about just what DevOps actually is. In this short talk, DevOps community leader Sophie Weston provides a look at some of the principles, practices and ways of working that are at the heart of the DevOps movement and show the benefits that they can bring - from a Perl script written twenty years ago to the tech unicorns of today.

In this talk Ben Davison will cover examples of where digital transformations have gone well, where they have failed spectacularly and where results have been brute forced through sheer application of effort.

Through this analysis, we will identify key themes for success and failure, along with a series of digital delivery techniques & strategies to help de-risk transformation outcomes.

Victoria Morgan-Smith, Financial Times leads this session:

As technology continues to change at an increasingly rapid pace and tech departments grow ever larger, sending all of your engineers out to conferences and training becomes infeasible.

An internal tech conference can help your organisation grow and evolve such that your teams are equipped with the skills & connections they need to keep up.

Is it time to discover “the power within” your organisation?

Chris O’Dell, Monzo:

In this talk I’ll explore the topic of Developers supporting their own features in Production. I’ll cover the benefits of this approach, including greater understanding of your product, its usage and performance, and how this data can be fed back to improve your product. I’ll also talk about the downsides of being on-call, combined with the strategies from Ops teams on how to handle these. You’ll come away from this talk feeling empowered to own your own work.
