Swamp Thing - Draining Technical Debt

Stuart Carmichael, MDA Corporation
  When building software systems with several million lines of code, paying down your technical debt is like draining a swamp. It is messy, difficult and without the right tools you will drown. Learn how MDA uses JIRA for change control in a way that lets teams recognize the swamp, find its edge and stay out of it. Using JIRA to embrace three things: compact communication, pulsed decision making and ritualized meetings, helps MDA make durable decisions that stick throughout the organization.

Scaling Kanban in the Enterprise with GreenHopper

David Jellison, Constant Contact
  Balancing the coordination of many Agile product delivery teams on the same major release cycle -- and still allowing these teams to self-organise -- is a craft Agile Enterprises must master. JIRA, GreenHopper and Confluence provide a rich platform that accommodates cross team co-ordination and the flexibility required for teams to self-organise. In this talk, David will walk the audience through the process of breaking down a Kanban value chain into steps and transitions, mapping out compatible workflows, and building the combined board. David will also share details of how Constant Contact provides visibility into the progress of teams and the release cycle. Constant Contact was able to deliver 15% more often in 2011 than prior years by refining their Agile practices.

DevOps is a Verb

Patrick Debois, Atlassian
  "Ah almost done. Check in code, run tests, all green, job done". Really? Until code runs in production, you're code is just inventory. As Agile once bridged the gap between developers, testers and the business, devops sets out to extend that cycle to the last mile: "production". This session will give: - an overview on how different historical threads came together and started pushing the notion of "devops". - what devops is and isn't - how devops is changing the game within the IT industry and the benefits - how development and operations are not different from each other anymore, both in technology and management - the role tools play and how they fit in with the culture - how to get you bootstrapped and start collaborating now (devops cookbook) - the direction devops is growing and the challenges it's facing.

Hacking the Dev Cycle with Atlassian Tools

Nabeelah Ali, Atlassian
  It doesn't matter whether you're a developer or product manager: you have a lot of stuff to keep on top of. Dev speed isn't just about optimising how fast you complete tasks, it's also about setting yourself up to identify what's really important and keep track of your builds, code, issues and the bigger product picture all at once. This talk will take you through the dev cycle with Atlassian tools, and set you up with productivity hacks you can get started with right away, as well as insights into how some of the most prolific teams at Atlassian get stuff done.

Road to Client Side Programming with Closure Templates

Wojciech Seliga, Atlassian

Confluence for the Evolving Project Management Office (PMO)

Sandra Toner, Special Operations Technology
  This presentation tells the story of a Confluence makeover that involved taking a failing, misused wiki and transforming it to support the needs of an evolving Project Management Office (PMO). From this case study, themes emerged that illuminate the practices which turn a wiki from the wrong side of the tracks to an indispensable resource for the PMO. I align features (and plug-ins) in Confluence with the practices I learned that will make projects run smoothly. I describe how Confluence can be used to enhance the mission of the Project Management Office (PMO). I identify different PMO value models and outline the major functions in relation to how they can be facilitated by Confluence. I compare varying approaches to the use of Confluence from small to large knowledge management needs. I describe how transparency can be achieved in project governance with the use of Confluence. I offer some insight into project auditing and business alignment using Confluence. I also describe how confluence can be used to strengthen operational resiliency. Through my description of this authentic case study, I lay-out best practices to using features in Confluence to support the functions of a Project Management Office.

Drawing on his past experience Jordan will discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly involved in creating and evolving Agile processes. Jordan will show how to implement Atlassian tools to support those processes, and how the two can support one another. After this talk, you will have a great "do", "don't do", and "continue doing" list to guide your implementation of Agile and Atlassian tools.

Team Branches and CI using Git and Bamboo

Bryce Johnson, Atlassian
  As a team grows larger, especially with a lot of automated tests, the rate of commits becomes too heavy for a traditional set of CI builds to give developers fast feedback. They need a way to break up this higher rate of commits to identify problems sooner. One solution is to form team iteration branches to limit the amount of change and still provide the high quality CI on those branches. Learn about the risks involved in this approach, how to mitigate them, what kind of benefits your team could expect to see.

Disposable Testing Environments: There's Nothing Like Production Except Production

Jay Ballinger, Eyefinity 
  Application environment and content are both critical to practical and useful test environments. Running your Confluence or JIRA instance in a VM allows for easy creation of sandboxes, or copies, of your production environment. Done correctly, having a snapshot copy of your environment opens up many possibilities - such as testing upgrades, testing plugins, or running 'what-if' scenarios. Your servlet container, attachments directory, database, and plugin configurations are all important to your instance and must be considered when creating a copy of production. Eyefinity will also share a real-life report of the ease, and unexpected consequences, of exporting users and content from one instance of Confluence and importing them in to another instance of Confluence when VM copying may not be available or desired. Expect to hear: - Real-life examples - Gotchas - Steps anyone can follow - Considerations important to most Confluence instances

The Developer Experience

Pamela Fox
  We all know what “user experience” is and we know that it’s important. But we rarely talk about the “developer experience” - what we all go through each time we try to use a developer tool, library, or API. How do we decide what tool to use? Is it easy to integrate with our development environment? How flexible is the API? Where do we go when something goes wrong? Those are the sort of questions that we can ask to understand what it’s like for a developer to use a product - and where it can be improved. Whether you simply use developer products or you actually build one yourself, you should walk away from this talk with ideas on how to make a great developer experience - and why it matters.
