Full Cycle Developer – A Netflix Story
Michael Galloway,
Senior Engineering Manager – Delivery Integrations @ Netflix
Over the last 5 years, Netflix has been pioneering a software development model based on full ownership of the end-to-end development cycle.

With a culture based on concepts like Freedom and Responsibility, and Context not Control, how did Netflix transform its approach to engineering and operations? This talk describes our journey.

Discover Weekly – How autonomy saved one of Spotify’s most loved features from being killed
Joakim Sundén
ex-Spotify Agile coach, Consultant, Author of Kanban in Action
“I would have killed that if it was just me, 100%,” said Spotify founder and CEO Daniel Ek about Discover Weekly, a feature that would become one of Spotify’s most loved product features, almost a brand in itself. Designers and senior engineers were equally skeptical, but the team was still able to ship the feature. In this talk, you’ll learn how Spotify’s organizational culture of Agile management and autonomous teams enables innovation, using the Discover Weekly feature as an example.

It takes a village: The foundations you need in your R&D and DevOps in order to succeed in building autonomous teams
Karin Moscovici, VP R&D @ Riskified
Erik Parienty, Head of DevOps @ Riskified
For Agile to be more than just a buzzword, we need to have the Agile supporting foundations in our R&D organization. Those are Cultural, Organizational, and Technical. In this talk, Karin will showcase their first-hand story on building autonomous agile teams (outside and inside the R&D) and what the basics needs from a company for doing it right are. We’ll better understand what a DevOps Culture is and how the DevOps team is enabling the Agile autonomous teams to work independently by developing new infrastructure projects.

Growing teams and organizations are usually facing the same problems: lack of knowledge sharing and collaboration between teams, missing standardization, cross-organization infrastructure – any of these sound familiar? Well, good news, you’re not alone! In this talk, we’ll discuss the issues growing teams are facing, how to solve them, what are the challenges of creating micro-communities such as guilds, forums, and professional groups in your organization, and what it actually takes.
DevSecOps – Closing the Loop from Detection to Remediation
Shiri Arad Ivtsan
Senior Product Manager @ WhiteSource
DevSecOps sets out to relieve the costly and stressful delays that can occur when security testing is performed late in the game, by setting up processes and tools for “shifting left” so security testing can happen early and often. As organizations continue to embrace this DevSecOps approach, testing tools and practices are integrated even further left in the development pipeline. In this session, we will discuss: Where and how developers are implementing DevSecOps in the SDLC; Best practices for developers to adopt DevSecOps and more efficiently handle vulnerabilities; Necessary steps for implementing a process for detection, prioritization, and remediation of open source vulnerabilities.

Navigating the Data Ocean – Hypothesis driven product development
Pazit Dishon

At Pipl we constantly have ideas on how to improve our products or create new ones. Turning these ideas into live features or products with high ROI is challenging due to the complexity of data projects. In order to overcome these challenges we recently adopted the hypothesis driven development approach. Why did we choose this approach? How did we implement it? How do we measure success, value to customers? This and more will be discussed in my talk.
