Lastly, MPUG will cover advanced topics like how to best use Jira data to keep your stakeholders in the loop (even if they don’t use Jira!).

By dramatically improving the speed and efficiency of workplace tasks, digital technology such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud platforms, business process automation and advanced analytics has ushered in an era of unprecedented growth and innovation.

As organizations continue to adopt and converge these solutions, the path towards becoming an autonomous enterprise is becoming more clear.

As AI and digital systems proliferate, however, many are starting to question whether automated decision making is really in humanity’s best interests.

Though achieving the dream of the automated enterprise may be years away, organizations must start grappling with the ethical considerations associated with it now.

In this PEX Talks session, Sarah Burnett (LinkedIn profile) Chief Technology Evangelist of Kyp.ai and author of “The Autonomous Enterprise” will discuss the promise and the potential risks associated with the autonomous enterprise.

Key talking points will include:

• What is the autonomous enterprise? Hype vs. reality.
• How will the autonomous enterprise shape the human experience?
• How can companies ensure that AI and digital systems actually augment the employee experience?
• What ethical considerations need to be made before organizations embark on this journey?

How can we help developers create high-quality software while minimizing the introduction of errors during their daily development tasks?

As software development cycles become shorter, it’s increasingly important to ensure that developers and testers don’t inadvertently introduce errors or compromise software quality. Combining static and dynamic testing is an effective way to minimize software erosion caused by short-term requirements.

Join us online on June 7th as we bring the industry experts together to discuss the benefits and limitations of both static and dynamic testing, and how to integrate them into agile software development effectively.

In this webinar, you’ll hear about:

● How there are limitations of both dynamic and static analysis
● How to overcome these limitations by combining dynamic and static testing
● How to apply these testing techniques to continuous integration practices
● How and where to locate testing activities in your software development and testing processes to minimize software erosion caused by short-term requirements
