DESCRIPTION

How do you combine speed with scale? Does rapid speed actually scale? The answer to this question is Yes!  In this session Robert Zhu will share specific success stories about how some of the teams he worked with moved quickly in very complex enterprise environments like Microsoft and Facebook.  You'll learn about implementing Scrum, ad-hoc agile, devops, microservices, and the context/culture that enabled these elements to come together.  Robert will also plan to familiarize you with some enabling toolsets like: AWS, docker, github, and GraphQL

Topics:

  • What kind of team culture supports size and speed? What kind of team culture does not?
  • What are some very specific principles and patterns that actually work?
  • What kind of tooling is needed to support speed...at scale?

You can expect considerable time for questions throughout this fast-moving presentation, so come prepared with your most difficult questions and expect to get them answered during this session.
