Presentations:
In this session we will have two presentations from:
- Quan Dao from SOK
- Pablo Garcia Munos from Sharpness AB
Quan's presentation
Title: Demystifying Continuous Deployment – From Weekly Tension to Daily Confidence
Abstract: A practical talk on how the Sokos Hotels web booking team went from weekly manual releases to deploying seven times per day without compromising on quality or sanity.
Quan will share how a high-stakes system (thousands of daily reservations across 50 hotels in Finland and Estonia) broke free from release anxiety through a testing strategy that made deployments genuinely boring. Results included sustaining 10%+ conversion rate and 4.3+/5 team happiness scores.
Attendees will walk away with: the three signs a team isn't ready for Continuous Deployment, the key actions to move from "QA signs off" to “Built-in Quality”, and a battle-tested roadmap they can try out next week Monday.
Pablo's presentation
Title: “Doing Things Right the First Time” is the fastest and cheapest way to create Software.
Abstract: Software projects have a tendency to be late, sometimes so late that the biggest competitor have delivered a better version before you have.
Some software projects never deliver or has problems until the weekend before release when it is “saved” by one or two developers.
This presentation will walk through the most common reason why projects are late and what to do to avoid it.
Warmly welcoming you all,
Brgds FTMG organizers;
Nina, Szilard, Jani and Mikko
