How Aha! Roadmaps can help you be more agile

Whilst Agile and DevOps have helped organizations to transform their software delivery processes, Value Streaming created the missing link to connect software delivery with business value. Yet, for Value Streaming to be truly effective, IT and business leaders must be aware of the challenges that need to be overcome. 

In this episode of Day-to-Day DevOps, Helen Beal and guests will discuss the importance of Value Streaming in 2022, and the factors that DevOps teams must consider before adopting this strategy - including humans, processes, and technologies.

Join us to hear:
- The origins of Value Stream Management and key concepts such as flow, value, and delivery
- The key concepts within Value Stream Management such as Value Stream Mapping, and Value Stream Management
- Why VSM is needed and the business benefits of its practice for DevOps teams.
- How Lean, Agile, DevOps, and ITSM principles contribute to value stream management
- Where Value Streams start and end, and how they interconnect
- What are good Value Stream Management practices?

How DevOps and Value Stream Management can Help You Realize True Business Value

While IT Service Management may be a key enabler of digital transformation and modernising efforts, it is not immune to the growing pains that a rapidly scaling organisation can be subject to. Spiralling user numbers and increasingly complex processes are only some of the challenges getting in the way of delivering quality service across your organisation. Automation is certainly one solution to streamlining processes and improving productivity but it's not always the right solution - there are other ways.

In this talk, Richard and Phill will take you on an agile and iterative journey across people, processes and tools - examining how you can maintain delivering high-quality service even as you scale. They'll pay close attention to the ITSM specific challenges some of our biggest and most complex clients have faced, and provide the solutions that took their service desk solutions to the next level.

Delivering a quality service to the enterprise

Increasing collaboration between teams to create customer value is now essential to doing business in the modern enterprise. But while understanding and reimagining how value is created through streams (rather than functional processes) becomes ever more important, realizing the value stream and creating value for stakeholders while carrying on with business as usual is challenging.

Watch Adaptavist's Matt Saunders - Head of DevOps, John Turley - Digital Transformation Consultant and Plandek's COO, Will Lytle, as they discuss unseen challenges that mean value stream mapping often fails to deliver results in the real world, and share some of the leading-edge thinking and practices they use to overcome them.

Unlocking real-world outcomes with value stream mapping

IT has never been under more pressure to modernize and transform. In the race to outpace competitors and deliver customers best-in-class digital experiences, applications can make or break a business’ chance of success. In episode 23 of Day-to-Day DevOps, Helen Beal and guest are looking at why DevOps may be the silver bullet in helping businesses to modernize their applications and remain competitive. 

Join us to learn:

What a DevOps approach to legacy system modernization looks like
Insights into how DevOps can minimize technical debt by modernizing core applications to be agile and competitive 
Common challenges DevOps teams face when working on both mainframe and open-systems - and how to overcome them

Digital health: What is it and why does it matter?

Many organizations have adopted or are currently adopting containerization as a strategy for deploying their applications. This provides numerous benefits but also presents challenges when security is taken into consideration, the least of which is tool sprawl.

Join us as Dane Grace helps security teams identify the layers of technology and phases of deployment that they need to address.

Supporting and Defending Virtual Environments

Many native enterprises cannot take full advantage of cloud services because of legacy applications. It’s not realistic to refactor every application -- but which modernization projects can get us the most benefit in the cloud? In this presentation, learn how to identify opportunities to refactor your application, prioritize those projects, and help your enterprise make the most of your cloud deployment at scale.

The cloud carries unique threats. The cloud Security Alliance  (CSA) is rapidly becoming the OWASP of cloud security standards. DevOps, containers, micro services, APIs, and orchestration are table stakes for effective cloud-native applications. Securing these software interfaces, configurations, and processes is NOT a trivial task. Furthermore, automation isn’t a panacea; in fact, it can mask critical security flaws that propagate. 
This session will describe the Top Threats to Cloud Computing (aka “the Egregious Eleven”), how to identify and mitigate these threats, and how they fit into a cloud-native security program.

The Egregious 11 — Defending Against the CSA Top Threats

For competitive survival,  continuous improvement in product development capability is very important. DevSecOps and Agile development  are two very important framework for going in that direction though rolling out them may be fraught with challenges. There can be several reasons for that. This webinar will focus upon some of the best practices and lessons learnt from speaker’s past experience in multiple organizations and multiple products. This may benefit in making these transformations successful in your own organizations.

DevSecOps and Agile Transformation – Best Practices and Lessons Learnt

Scaling DevOps in the enterprise is not easy. Coordinating organizational challenges surrounding people, processes and tools can slow or hinder business agility. Enterprises planning to scale Agile and DevOps teams must consider a variety of adoption patterns and options about how to do so.

This webinar will share insights and demonstrate how Digital.ai solutions are enabling our customers across industries to scale up and across by implementing lean, Agile, and DevOps practices throughout the organization.

We will cover implementation patterns for:
Scaling to Team of Teams
Building a unified and scalable DevOps Toolchain
Creating an automation center of excellence

DevOps Adoption Patterns for the Enterprise

DevOps is great, if you have the people, processes and tools to support it. In this session I’ll highlight the easiest ways for Java developers to work with their IT organizations and partners to deliver their code to the cloud, including the best ways to reliably make updates and maintain production cloud code. The focus is on real-world examples using Linux command line tools, open source tools including Jenkins, and other free SDKs and tools available on GitHub. The examples, tools and demos that I show are applicable to any cloud platform, and all are available on GitHub. I will show Microsoft Azure running the samples but will not be selling azure - this is a technical talk that will focus on the code.

DevOps for Java Shops

When done right, cloud enables agility and speed, breakthrough innovation, economical business scalability, and security.  Cloud providers are rapidly expanding offerings and organizations are embracing these modern approaches.  Why are some organizations reaching new heights with the cloud while others face stormy weather?  In this presentation, you will learn approaches and tips to accelerate and secure a cloud-first strategy and cloud-native solutions.

Soar to New Heights in the Cloud: Tips to Accelerate and Secure

A rapid response time is critical to today’s digital business, pushing many organizations to adopt cloud-native, cloud-first approaches. Businesses must keep evolving to succeed in today’s fast-moving environment. Customers demand instant responses and businesses that can deliver are the ones gaining growth. Leveraging DevOps and instituting cloud platforms and modernized serverless strategies promote agility as well as provide a future approach for building cloud-native applications. This keynote session will share unique insights from current research on how business are adjusting to today’s customer demands and highlight the growth of agile methodologies to enable rapid application delivery. It will also explore how cloud-native technologies can provide an elastic, portable applications environment and how organizational maturity impacts heritage and cloud-native deployments.

The Future of Cloud-Native Applications

Cloud-Native Enterprise DevOps Summit

Are you looking to implement DevOps, unlock the potential of the cloud, or scale adoption across your organisation?  We discuss the best cloud-first DevOps approaches to make sure your processes are consistent and repeatable.  DevOps is centered around the continuous improvement of software, moving away from rigid methodologies. But this agile mindset needs to apply to the people, processes, and tools that make it happen too. As organisations change and infrastructure and support needs increase, those changes put a strain on compute, storage, network, and software, and the teams that support them.
