For parking, people can park in any lot. When you enter the building, you will enter on the second floor. Take the elevator to the third floor, that's where the Assembly is going to be. It's a huge, wide open auditorium. It will be just a few steps from the elevator.

Abstract:

Every day, industry leaders like Google, Amazon and Etsy are pushed to move thousands of deployments, and they have all turned to the Lean Startup and DevOps movements to power that market-driven necessity. However, each of these companies are outliers. Where many other companies have adopted these principles, they've had fractions of the success. Far too many companies have struggled to make significant gains despite the investment of time and money into new programs. Inevitably, what sets the exceptional outliers apart from those who are struggling to keep pace is a robust strategy around data, without which the facade of continuous delivery crumbles. This Data Gap disproportionately affects companies with large ERP or Systems of Record. Join Adam Bowen to explore how to bolster your approach to data management for a stronger, more efficient software development lifecycle.
