Abstract
Increasing the safe delivery of change has immense business value across a number of dimensions, so how can we improve our ability to manage change at scale? In this roundtable, we will be joined by software engineers and leaders with experience improving large-scale change mechanisms in their own companies. Topics will include technical strategies, operational considerations, people and culture, and general lessons learned. As an audience member, you will also have the chance to ask the panel questions.
