Agile teams don't want to depend on outside help to solve problems and deliver value. In this tutorial, we will practice culture change through visualization exercises to increase team autonomy and agility and learn how to solve problems collaboratively inside teams by playing the Impediment Board Game.

Culture matters! It can make or break things. Get people moving or inhibit them. Drive people toward results, or drive them nuts. An agile culture is a foundation for an agile way of working and…

Good testing is full of challenges that need to be addressed to bridge the gaps and to improve. This interactive tutorial is about real-world examples of testing challenges from different areas (e.g., test mission, TDD, review and test design, design for testability, built-in quality) and how to overcome them in practice.

Attend this tutorial to

• get familiar with specific testing challenges based on real-world examples
• learn how these testing challenges have been solved
• share experiences on…

How easily can your product team respond to changes in business requirements, technological advances, and new tools? When your code can be secured, upgraded, moved, or modernized with greater ease, you can swiftly and effectively adapt to changes in technology and markets.

We’ll show you how to use OpenRewrite, an open-source auto-refactoring tool, to study and analyze your code before arranging migration and modernization efforts – and then automate code updates for your teams.

Guided by small…

Envision an enterprise where Scrum, LeSS, Lean, and Kanban can thrive fully, bolstering the evolution of your products and services. Welcome to GAME3.

GAME3, standing for Generic Agile Metaframework for Empirical-based Enterprise Evolution, is a game-changer in business agility. It focuses on three key components: A robust leadership system, strategic evolution, and universal rules for the Enterprise.

Whether you're leading a small or medium-sized Enterprise or a division within a larger…

Software stakeholders and users approach technology through the lens of their cultural norms and worldviews. As software designers, we often introduce new concepts and terminology to better address those needs. This can mean adapting or even reshaping their cultural perspectives. But culture, by nature, seeks consistency and conformity, providing a framework to our daily chaos. This consistency can make language and models rigid, often leading to ambiguity. So, how can we navigate and reshape…

When building complex systems, it's easy to focus on features and overlook software qualities, specifically architecture and technical debt. Some believe that following Agile practices—starting quickly, keeping code clean, and having many tests—will naturally lead to good architecture. While an architecture will emerge, if there is not enough attention paid to the architecture and the code, technical debt, and design problems will creep in until it becomes muddy, making it hard to deliver new…

How can we contribute to improving the delivery of valuable software?

Not everyone working in IT has deep experience as a software developer. And not every developer has had the opportunity to experience a fast-paced development process using effective TDD in a mobbing session.
- > still, we're expected to deliver ever more complex solutions in ever more connected systems.

This session allows you to deeply experience the development process without needing development skills. We'll be working in…

Software is changing our world – and the speed of change is increasing. Continously evolving business demands, software technology advances, and social changes mean that gaps can quickly arise between the actual state of a software and its desired state. Not reacting to these gaps can lead to software no longer being competitive or marketable. Reacting too quickly can lead to software becoming “immature” with corresponding negative business impact. Bridging the gaps is not easy and requires…

This session is dedicated to offloading and streamlining tasks of software engineers and IT architects to LLM-based AI. Experience how it can assist in creating real-world architectural decision records, making sense of complex system architectures, and generating enterprise architecture diagrams. Through interactive experiments, you'll see AI discovering, reviewing, and refining system architectures, producing professional architectural outputs or uncovering quality challenges in enterprise…

This talk will explore principles of event-driven architecture. Special consideration will be given to boundaries of responsibility, and the relationship of processes and data. Starting from events as the fundamental unit of communication, we'll explore how they impact the overall design of the system. Which communication patterns are a good match for events, and which are at odds with them? Specifically, we'll look at handling "unhappy" flows and duties of emitters and recipients of events.…
