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

Testing in production has gotten a bad rap. People seem to assume that you can only test before production *or* in production. But while you can rule some things out before shipping, those are typically the easy things, the known unknowns. For any real unknown-unknown,...

What do you want people to leave the talk with?
If I had to summarize it in one line it would be any CI/CD pipeline is better than none. If you're going to automate major key pieces of this process will make your life a lot easier, simplify it and add speed to your deployments.
