Beyond Budgeting – Business agility in practice
Bjarte Bogsnes – Pioneer of Beyond Budgeting

Understand how management innovation can provide just as much competitive advantage as technology and product innovation!

High-Performance Team Building™ class
Richard Kasperowski – High-Performance Teams With Great People
Your team can be ten times better. What does that mean? That means your professional team can accomplish 10x more work, do it with 10x more quality, 10x faster, or with 10x fewer resources. Your family can be 10x happier. Your community group can be 10x better at making life better for the people it serves. Even you yourself can be 10x more effective at getting what you want.

Beyond Estimates and NoEstimates: Let’s explore the possibilities
Woody Zuill – Agile Guide / Trainer / Developer
While estimates can be useful for some things, it is worthwhile to scrutinize our use of estimates, and to seek better ways to manage the development of software when estimates are not appropriate. For example, do we really need estimates for everything we currently use them for? Are we getting a reasonable benefit from them? Is it possible to manage software development without them?

Advanced Deployment Pipeline Techniques
Dave Farley – Co-Author: “Continuous Delivery”
The Deployment Pipeline is a central concept in Continuous Delivery. It represents an effective, controlled channel through which all changes destined for production pass. As our use of this important tool grows, the performance of the pipeline, in terms of the rapidity with which it can give valuable feedback on the quality of your work, becomes a central concern. Learn direct from a pioneer of Continuous Delivery!

Build Your Rapid Innovation Playbook: Help your team(s) validate ideas 10X faster
Amy Jo Kim – CEO @ Game Thinking Academy
Innovation is risky. That’s why successful innovators validate their ideas before building them. And the best way to validate your product idea is to test the right prototype on the right early customers. This workshop will teach you advanced techniques that power the biggest hit games & products of our time – and dramatically increase your odds of success.

MicroServices – Let’s Build Some!
Fred George – Father of “Programmer Anarchy”
This hands-on workshop will explore a particular style that matches “fuzzy” problems, that is, problems that lack a definitive solution, like fraud detection or recommendations. Using tiny asynchronous services, we create an environment that supports continuous experimentation, that was the core of one of the most successful implementations. The instructor, Fred George, is cited by Martin Fowler as one of the co-inventors of the MicroService architecture.
