Performance testing isn’t the first thing organizations think about when moving to DevOps – in fact, it’s often ignored as traditional approaches don’t jive well with the fast and nimble world of DevOps.

However, performance is still a critical part of the user experience, and poor performance and outages will quickly negate the value of the features you’re delivering.

Lee believes that organizations don’t have to gamble with application performance & will discuss techniques for implementing continuous performance testing in your pipeline, so you don’t have to roll the dice on your user experience.

Topics Will Include:

1. Performance testing activities at each stage of the pipeline
   • From the unit level through testing in production
2. How to rethink your approach to performance testing and work with your DevOps practices
   • instead of against them in areas like test environment and data management.
3. You’ll walk away with a new outlook on performance testing in DevOps
4. Ideas you can begin to implement in your pipeline.

Presenter: Lee Barnes (LinkedIn profile) has 25+ years of experience in the Software Quality Assurance and Testing field. Lee has successfully implemented test automation and performance testing solutions in hundreds of environments across a wide array of industries. He is a recognized thought leader in his field and speaks regularly on related topics. As Founder and CTO of Utopia Solutions, Lee is responsible for the firm’s delivery of software quality solutions which include DevOps Quality, test automation, and performance management.

The PMBOK® Guide lays out the importance of communication as a vital part of the project management process. The common adage that project management is 90% communication is well known and accepted.

So, how can we help project professionals to practice it? After all, since it is a soft skill, one can develop competency in this area not by reading, acquiring knowledge, or talking about it but by practicing it in the real world.

In this webinar Raju Rao (LinkedIn profile)  will:

• Give an overview of the how project management standards have dealt with the knowledge area of communication
• Describe the current status of the practice of communication and its link with leadership development
• Outline the various components of communication, e.g., writing, listening, persuading, speaking, evaluating, developing consensus, moderating and critical thinking
• List the various forums and platforms available for the practice of communication and the ways by which a project manager can improve their skills

This webinar is the first of three in a series hosted jointly between the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) and the Association for Project Management (APM).

This session will aim to generate a conversation around Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) in Project Delivery (PD), in both the public and private sectors.

This first session, held in October, will discuss the recently launched D&I strategy for the PD profession, why it’s important, and the challenges currently facing the profession in this area.

Glenda Joseph & Her Fellow Presenters Will Discuss:

This session will discuss the gathered evidence of what good D&I practice looks like; what needs to be done in relation to Inclusion, & how we can improve Diversity in relation to Representation, Progression and Support of BAME and Women staff.

They have been piloting the following initiatives:

• Bitesize Insight Groups on Inclusion; BAME and Women staff’s representation, progression and support.
• Bitesize Insight Groups on attraction to the PD Profession of potential BAME and Women new entrants.
• Reverse Mentoring Pilots for Women and BAME staff.
• Sponsorship Pilots for BAME and Women staff.
• Role Models, Champions and Allies in support of D&I work across the profession.
• Story Telling – Case Studies and Blogs.
• Showcasing good practice and successes.

The pilots run until the end of September 2020, whereby an evaluation will take place to inform what we have learned and what works well for HMRC’s PD Profession, as well as feeding into the wider IPA D&I Strategy and Action Plan.
