When we talk about Agile implementations in organizations, it often starts with IT. The conversation then revolves around how we deliver on projects, how we run processes, and how we collaborate. But what about the actual technology?

Technology has evolved to lend itself to Agile more than ever before. In this talk, we'll unpack how modern development tools and practices can be used to enable agility in organizations. We'll discuss:
- Test automation
- DevOps
- Cloud
- CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment)
- Architecture practices
- Code analysis tools

This talk is for engineering leaders, Agile practitioners, engineers, and anyone involved in the SDLC. We'll move away from theory, and unpack how to actually apply modern development practices and tools to Agile software development.
I want to leave you with practical insight to apply in your own organization.

I started my career as a software developer and eventually transitioned into engineering leadership, including a CTO role. I've used agile methodologies, including Scrum, for over a decade.

In this talk, I want to use my experience to help non-technical Agile practitioners to understand how to apply Agile within a software engineering context, while also helping developers to understand how development practices can align to Agile initiatives.

Consider the example of software on a disk bought from your favourite retailer a decade or two ago. There had to be a "final" version that was set in stone. Today, through models like SaaS, we can release and incorporate user feedback as we go and deliver to end-users continuously.

This will be a 35 - 40 minute talk, aimed at an intermediate audience, with some time for Q&A at the end. It has not been delivered publicly before.
