Keynote : If You Don’t Know Where You’re Going, It Doesn’t Matter How Fast You Get There

Location : Grand Ballroom ABC & Simulcast in Bayview AB and Seacliff ABC
Day of week : Monday
Duration : 9:00am - 10:10am

High performing organizations don’t trade off quality, throughput, and reliability: they work to improve all of these and use their software delivery capability to drive organizational performance. In this talk, Nicole and Jez present the results from their five-year research program, including how continuous delivery and good architecture produce higher software delivery performance, and how to measure culture and its impact on IT and organizational culture. They explain the importance of knowing how (and what) to measure so you focus on what’s important and communicate progress to peers, leaders, and stakeholders. Great outcomes don’t realize themselves, after all, and having the right metrics gives us the data we need to keep getting better at building, delivering, and operating software systems.
