When Feature Flags Go Bad:How Not to Have Feature Flags Be Used Incorrectly for Disastrous Results - Edith Harbaugh, LaunchDarkly - Feature flags are a continuous delivery best practice to get feedback faster, with less risk. With feature flags, engineering changes are pushed live to production “off”, and then turned on to different users, separating deployment from release. Learn how Behalf and CircleCI to use feature flags for opt-in early access, private beta, canary releases and dark launches.

Feature flags have become a critical part of how we roll out
features, get feedback, and allow engineering and marketing
to proceed on their own schedules. It’s hard to imagine
DevOps services without them!

@Edith_H #softwareseatbelt

With LaunchDarkly we ship small changes very often.
It makes it very easy to roll back a particular change, or even
better: fix and roll-forward, and it helps us iterate very fast.

Feature flags are a valuable DevOps technique to deliver better, more reliable software faster. Feature flags can be used for both release management (dark launches, canary rollouts, betas) as well as long term control (entitlement management, user segmentation personalization). However, if not managed properly, feature flags can be very destructive technical debt. Feature flags need to be managed properly with visibility and control to both engineering and business users.

This is the story of how we doubled the conversion rate on HubSpot.com, by leveraging a lean design process that's focused on rapid iteration and objectivity. Get an in-depth look at our distinctive UX process and how we've applied it at a public company with over 1,600 employees across 7 global offices. See exactly how it works and walk through every step of a real project, where we redesigned HubSpot.com in a period of less than 3 months. See the results, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and how we achieved them. Walk away with all of the information that you need to apply a similar process at your company. This isn’t another abstract process talk; it’s a hands-on session with actionable learnings and take-aways, backed up by data and a well-documented case study.

Designing Digital Change, Synopsis Hong Kong, April 2016: In this session Mr. Nigel Green shares his experience of preparing organisations for the Digital World. He introduces key concepts that will help open-up the discussion of the implications, risks, and opportunities, of a digital strategy. Whilst the popular definition of “Going Digital” is often focused on digital channels for Marketing purposes, Mr. Green explains why it also impacts many areas of the organisation, and explains why it is not simply the CMO’s, CDO’s, or CIO’s challenge alone. He will also share tools and techniques used in the design & execution of the transformation to a digitally enabled business. In addition, he will discuss pragmatic next steps to take, and share ideas on how to contribute to a business-wide discussion on the subject. This session should be of interest to anyone trying to get to grips with what “Going Digital” means to their organization, and how to start planning the change: - The components of a digitally-enabled Business Model - The implications & risks of adopting “Bi-modal IT” - How to design for the protection of existing core business systems whilst embracing the new - Dealing with an unknown future, and adaptive long-range planning - The dangers of “Big Design Up Front”, and perhaps paradoxically, why “Adaptive Design” is ever more crucial - The business and technology architecture implications - including a perspective on the applicability of a pattern adopted by the “born digitals” (e.g. Netflix, Google, and Amazon) - Suggested subject matter experts to track, follow-up research material, and next steps to take.

Everything around us these days depends on technology. Teams of engineers create this technology. Our life depends on great engineers doing their best. On a quest to find and mentor the next generation of great engineers, I sought to identify the traits that make a great engineer. These slides are from the first talk about the subject on which I've been working on for 1.5 years. Here I present the first three of the seven qualities that (according to my research, survey and my very biased opinion) make a great engineer.

The cultural change of “DevOps” beyond just developers and operations is just at the beginning. What happens when an entire organization changes from shipping once a year to once a month, then multiple times a month, week or even daily? How do developers approach a sprint when their code can be live in real time? How does product management change when features can evolve daily? How does marketing change when the features of tomorrow can be immediately influenced by response to messaging today? We’re at the very beginning of thinking of code as a living object instead of a static file thrown over the wall.

As web professionals we’re used to hearing about the virtues of shipping fast and iterating regularly in order to meet changing needs, but how do we ensure that the projects that we’re planning now are still as relevant and robust when they launch in the future... and beyond? How do we prepare for the unknowns and constant shifts in technology; what can we do to progress the evolution of the web itself; and how do we, as individuals, ensure that our skills are as relevant as ever in this rapidly changing world? In this talk we’ll look at past visions of the future, what we can learn from these lessons, and how to apply this in a practical sense to the work that we do. A written version of this talk is available at: http://www.sallyjenkinson.co.uk/blog/2015/09/26/all-these-moments-will-be-lost-in-time/

Go deeper than MVP/MLP and shape your agile software development around minimum testable features. To succeed with digital transformation, business leaders need to get past the mindset that you need a perfect product to go to market. There’s still a place for waterfall processes, but the benefits of agile development are becoming more of a necessity than an option. http://by.dialexa.com/minimum-testable-features-a-different-approach-to-agile-software-development

This talk was given at YOW 2016 in Melbourne, Brisbane & Sydney Australia, December 2016. Change in an organization is really hard. This is especially true when a company that was once on the forefront of innovation finds itself having lost that luster through its own growth & success. The past few years there has been a transformation happening at PayPal that is touching every part of the organization to make it innovative again. At the heart of this change is engineering innovation coupled with a new, close partnership between product, design and engineering. Can your organization be changed? From Bill’s experience at Yahoo!, Netflix, PayPal and consulting with numerous companies he believes there are some core principles you can employ to drive transformation that are all centered around the customer. The question Bill will explore is “How can engineering and design be the catalyst for that change?” While this talk will be inspirational, it will take an honest (and humorous) look at what has worked and what hasn’t worked so well in trying to scale change.

The enterprise UI landscape is often disjointed and full of inconsistencies. There will often be multiple design and development teams working independently with little visual or functional reuse. In this session you’ll learn some strategies and best practices for designing and building robust enterprise-wide UI components that can be leveraged in both prototypes and production. You’ll learn how to leverage UX best practices to test design patterns before they get built and then how to maintain the usability of those components as they evolve across the enterprise. Bring your laptop for guided exercises using Angular.js to illustrate the concepts. Presented by Matt Kesler

The number of connected devices is growing at an accelerated pace. We developers must have the knowledge & skills to help make that happen. But how? As device deployments and data collected grow exponentially, DevOps is the answer to fast, consistent, and sane systems, organizations, and developers. This session will provide a brief-but-thorough examination of key DevOps tenets and how they apply to large-scale deployments of small-scale devices and the platforms that tie them together. A live-coding demo will convert these concepts from ideas to implementations.

DevOps represents cultural change. Whether it’s the change of resistant engineers that don’t want to be on-call or the change of Operations teams to have more empathy towards their counterparts writing code, to the willingness of executives to embrace a culture of automation, measurement and sharing. Organizations must overcome the culture war to be able to approach the agility and productivity that organizations following a DevOps model gain. The faster they can get there, the faster these organizations can take the competitive edge away from traditional enterprises.

The Mythical Technical Debt (Brooke, please, forgive me.) <This talk is designed for a technical audience> In software-intensive systems development, we often face trade-offs between speed and long-term maintainability. These trade-offs accumulate as technical debt, the hidden cost of short-term decisions that can impact future development. Technical debt goes beyond the initial choices made when creating software. It encompasses design decisions, coding practices, or anything that might hinder future development efforts. By effectively identifying and managing this debt, we can build robust and scalable software systems. In this talk, we'll explore different types of technical debt and their impact on projects. We'll delve into practical methods to identify, measure, and reduce it. Finally, we'll see how to turn technical debt into an advantage, using it as a springboard for innovation with real-world examples.
