You have been waiting for this
This working day covers all ways of producing software, including software production chains, open source software ways, collaboration across business units, and methodologies like DevOps, Agile, InnerSource, and more.
You are especially invited if you are already more advanced in software development analytics and have a whole metrics workflow running internally. We want to learn from you!
Gain Control of Software Development
A common issue in the software business is that without data, developers, managers, and the chief level are simply blind. They are spending large budgets on reporting capabilities such as for factory lines, but software development is still a black box. It lacks the level of control managers have come to expect in other areas of the company.
Despite the large costs in developer salaries, companies lack meaningful analytics and KPIs.

Have you ever faced the challenge of measuring the ROI of the development activities under your control?

How can you show the value of developing software in a particular way, whether it is waterfall, agile, open, or any other method?

What is the value of your DevOps, InnerSource, or other culture-change initiatives in your software teams?

How can you convince top-level management to invest in software development analytics and gain the control you need?
This workshop explores how these business questions can be answered with software development analytics.
Attendees of this event are working in the open or producing proprietary software. This event is focused on helping one another to effectively use metrics, insights, and information for our daily work.
The event is run under Chatham House rules, ensuring that everything said at the event is protected.
Chatham House Rule
When a meeting, or part thereof, is held under the Chatham House Rule, participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed.
We use the Chatham House Rule to ensure the openness of discussion.
Software engineering is still in the process of describing and observing how code is developed. Let’s do it together! Let’s go faster!
Get ready for an insightful day full of Software Data and Tapas!
