Shifting Left Until We Shift Right - Does It Make Sense to Test in Production? Pablo Picasso famously said to learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.' For over 20 years, the principles of agile and lean software development have been reshaping our industry with incontrovertible positive impact. However, as is so often the case with guiding principles, there are cases where the original intent has been lost and replaced by simplified patterns that sometimes prevent us from making the right decisions. In this talk, CircleCI CTO Rob Zuber will look at the guiding principles and original intent of agile practices to illustrate that the next frontier of testing in production may seem counterintuitive on the surface but, when done well, is a natural evolution of agile. Attendees will: Develop a better understanding of the principles that led to specific practices in agile development Recognize how advancement beyond planning work, such as devops and CI/CD evolved from these principles Make decisions about where and how to apply these practices in their own work Apply scenario planning to minimize cost and risk while maximizing value delivery in their own business

Creating Your Organization's Business Agility Strategy Optimally, your organization's business strategy and business agility strategy are completely coupled together, one seamlessly supporting the other. Practically, what many organizations experience today is a tug-of-war between their business strategy and this thing called 'business agility.' Or, a lack of business agility strategy altogether, leaving the business strategy more susceptible, and even fragile, when unforeseen changes inevitably occur. We need a way to think about business agility, coupled with business strategy, so that we can live into the reality of harnessing change for good. This session will expose you to a recently published body of work, Domains of Business Agility, which serves as a model for creating business agility strategy. Think of it as a skeleton, or a thinking tool. Used this way, the model allows leaders to answer the question, 'How much business agility do we need in various parts of our organization as a seamless support to our overall business strategy?' In this session, Lyssa Adkins, author of Coaching Agile Teams and Agile/Leadership Coach, leads you through the key steps for creating such a business agility/business strategy. This and other IIL Learning in Minutes presentations qualify for PDUs. Some titles, such as Agile-related topics may qualify for other continuing education credits such as SEUs, or CEUs.
