A SAFe Approach To DevOps

Share

Live Webinar March 25th, 2015, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm EDT
Duration:1 hour Webcast Up to 1 Category C PDU – Free PDU
Hosted By:  StickyMinds/Techwell

Because priorities constantly change at the business level, teams struggle to communicate changes to everyone—slowing down development and delivering business value.

SAFe is a proven process framework for scaling lean and agile across the enterprise.

Combining SAFe with the IBM DevOps approach provides a comprehensive process and tooling framework for an optimized end-to-end lifecycle.

The result is a solution that supports enterprises—from the small IT shop to the large, regulated IT environment—in addressing critical business imperatives.

In this web seminar, you’ll learn how to apply lean and agile principles with multiple teams and implement powerful DevOps tools and practices.

Learn to:

  1. Eliminate waste and reduce delivery cycle time
  2. Get up and running quickly with out-of-the-box infrastructure to lead a SAFe project
  3. Improve agility and predictability with DevOps practices
  4. Simplify change to culture and process with access to SAFe guidance

And lowering costs.

Technology advances in cloud computing and mobile devices make collaboration easier than ever before.

Designing The Programmable World

Live Webinar March 24th, 2015 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM EDT
Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 PDU Category C Free
Presented by : O’Reilly Webcasts

We Live With Machines All Around Us!

The fabric of our cities is made up of connected nodes that track weather, traffic, and commerce.

These machines send us messages, tell us what to wear, show us entertainment, and monitor our behaviour.

Our physical world is networked and made of code, and we usually don’t even notice it!

This is the programmable world, a world in which we now live.

In this webcast Matt will examine different aspects and perspectives on the networked world, and specifically how designers play a part in shaping it.

It will include discussion of new design skills approaches that help us work with these new technologies and systems.

I highly recommend that you never miss one of Matt’s posts on emenel  – The site has Lots of great insights!

Matt’s Posts &  Idea collections ALWAYS  give great “food for thought!” Check it out!

Management Gone Social

Share

Live Webinar March 25th, 2015 – 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm  EDT
Duration: 1 Hour Credits: 1 PDU Category C  – Free PDU
Presented by American Management Association (REP 1294)

The Industrial Age Is Dead,
Welcome To The Social Age

Social media has become an insurmountable market force
It is now A World Gone Social

A World Gone Social has changed how we:

  • Innovate,
  • Collaborate,
  • Serve our customers,
  • Hire and develop team members,
  • Motivate others toward a common mission,
  • Communicate with stakeholders,
  • Display our character, and …
  • Demonstrate accountability.

The Social Age is about everyone within the organization developing their own brand, and using that brand to enhance the brand-power through employee advocacy.

Today, every manager must embrace social media — for their own career and to be a part of what their team, and perhaps the competition, is already doing.

Learn:

  • Managing social employees (the good, the bad, and when things turn ugly)
  • Tips for leveraging social to turn your organization into a customer-first, purpose-driven team
  • Ways to identify your brand champions and internal advocates—and leverage their passion and talent
  • How to enable an OPEN (Ordinary People | Extraordinary Network) circle of collaborators to innovate, solve complex problems, and achieve a common goal
  • How to build a socially-enabled team full of “Relentless Givers”
  • How to become the most valuable player on any Social Age team: the rare Social Leader (so rare we call them a “Blue Unicorn”)
  • How organizations, from the newest start-ups and mom-and-pops to IBM and their 400k+ employees, are turning each team member into brand ambassadors
  • How some companies doing social now—including early adopters—are doing social all wrong
  • And much more!

This webcast explores how companies can leverage their managers to become active participants in this 24/7 conversation.

We encourage you to register even if you are unable to attend live; you’ll receive replay information following the event.

This will be a Must See Presentation!
