DevOps Transformation from the C-level point of view.

Would you like to see more DevOps practices in your company?

Do you know how to convince your top management to invest in tech debt removal?

Would you like to become the CTO in future?

As engineers, we understand the value of DevOps practices for software development but often struggle to get buy-in from our managers to invest in these practices. In this talk, I will share my experience of working with C-level executives on DevOps transformations and how to make it successful in your organization.

I invite you to my talk, in which I will tell you about my experience of working with C-Level executives on DevOps Transformations, in particular:

• What are their needs?

• What are they looking for?

• Why are the proper measurements so crucial?

• How to get the "green light" for the true continuous delivery process?

And most importantly - how to get funding for your DevOps Transformation. As a takeaway, you will learn how to fuel DevOps Transformation fire to make it successful in your organization.

TDD - Trust Driven Development. How to break the siloes between Dev and Ops teams and transform your

Are you curious what is the secret source of DevOps? Would you like to know how to transform your organization towards DevOps?

We all know that Software Development Lifecycle can be a complicated process. We are usually good at identifying bottlenecks, and we have tools like Value Stream Mapping to visualize them. We are often able to remove some of the berries by adjusting the process itself. There are also some impediments that can only be removed by building trust across teams. During my talk, I will shine the light on how to build trust between these teams, break the silos and accelerate the delivery of our products.

Unlock your autonomy. Improve your software design.

We want to be autonomous, to create and own our professional pathway. During my talk, I will show you that companies really need autonomous engineers and teams as autonomy is crucial for effective software design. I will also share with you my tips on how to establish and develop your autonomy based on my experience of working with IT organizations. If you are curious about what the secret sauce of autonomy is, come and join my session.

Living between Agile Culture a DevOps Mindset - how to make an impact and build better software.

Have you ever wondered what Agile Culture and DevOps Mindset really mean? Would you like to finally solve the riddle of great collaboration in the software development world? Are you wondering what Agile and DevOps approach can give us? I would like to invite you to my talk, where I will share my understanding of these two trendy words: Agile and DevOps. Together we are going to discover the mechanisms behind these terms and think about how they can be used by us to become fulfilled at work. During my presentation, I will also give you practical examples based on my experience not only as a manager but also from the times when I was developing software.

Hybrid heroes: How to build cross-functional, hybrid teams that Get tech stuff done.

Did you ever wonder how some tech teams just seem to do amazing stuff, like they've got superhero powers?

They just click and produce amazing things whether they're in the office or working from home.

If you're curious how they do it, you've got to check out our talk! We're diving into the secret sauce that makes these teams awesome.

Dear Committee,

The shift towards remote and hybrid work models changed how tech teams operate. This transformation, while offering many benefits, also presents unique challenges in team dynamics, collaboration, and productivity. Our industry needs a roadmap to navigate these changes successfully, ensuring teams are not just surviving but thriving and innovating.
"Hybrid Heroes" is that roadmap how to deal with this change.

This talk is all about how to put together these superhero teams. I will talk about what makes them great and boost their collective creativity. I will also discuss the tricky stuff, like when it's hard for the team to get along because they're not all in the same place, or when they don't have the right tools to work with.

I will share stories about real teams who've done amazing things and tell what worked for them. Audience will learn how to find the right people for your team, how to help them work well together, and how to lead them to success.

The Power of quiet engineers.

Stephen Hawking used to say that quiet people have the loudest minds.

Do you agree?

I do and I do think that your impact is immeasurable. Let's think through it together and reflect on the strategies how to make our introversion shine!

In today's fast-paced, extrovert-dominated tech environment, the contributions of quiet engineers often go unnoticed.

This talk aims to shift this paradigm by shining a light on the assets that introverted professionals bring to the table. This talk not only challenges stereotypes but also offers actionable insights for leveraging the unique strengths of quiet individuals in the engineering field.

This talk will provide a roadmap for both organizations and quiet professionals on how to maximize their potential. By doing so, we aim to foster a more inclusive and productive work environment that values diversity in thought and approach.

Please see proposed agenda:
- Explore the psychological and social dynamics that underscore the introvert-extrovert spectrum in the workplace, with a particular focus on the engineering sector.

- practical strategies for organizations to create an environment where quiet engineers can thrive
- Equip quiet engineers with tools to share their opinion

I think of this talk as more than just a presentation - it's a movement towards recognizing the quiet power within our teams.

Public speaking for engineers - how to prepare engineering talk and deliver it to your teams.

Do you think that public speaking is not for you?

Since the lockdown, in March 2020 we all became public speakers. Delivering a presentation is a vital aspect of communication that requires a great deal of preparation and skill. However, many of us are not confident in our public speaking abilities, and the thought of presenting can be daunting.

Even if you don’t plan to speak at conferences or other professional events, knowledge of how to run effective presentations will help you in your engineering world, especially during your online team meetings.

You will learn how to craft compelling messages that inspire and influence your colleagues, clients, and stakeholders.

In my session, I will share tips on how to prepare yourself, your content and your audience in order to deliver an inspiring talk.

Attending this talk, you will learn about:

- knowledge of how to prepare your content for the talk to be inspiring

- tips on how to present it in front of the audience

- knowledge of how to engage your audience

By mastering the art of public speaking, engineers will be better equipped to communicate their ideas and drive success in their organizations.

Dear Committee,

I am excited to propose a topic for our upcoming conference that will benefit our engineering community immensely. My proposal is a talk on "Public speaking for engineers - how to prepare engineering talk and deliver it to your teams."

In today's world, engineers need to communicate effectively not only with their peers but also with stakeholders and clients. With remote work being the norm, online meetings have become crucial, making public speaking skills even more essential.

My talk will provide attendees with the knowledge and tools they need to deliver inspiring and engaging presentations that will capture their audience's attention. I will share valuable insights on how to prepare content, how to deliver it effectively, and how to engage your audience.

As engineers, we often focus solely on technical aspects, neglecting the importance of communication. By attending this talk, our colleagues will gain practical skills that they can immediately apply to their work, whether they are presenting their ideas to clients or leading a team meeting.

I strongly believe that this talk will provide immense value to our engineering community, and I hope that you will agree. Thank you for considering my proposal, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.
