“What you value is what you get” looks at the unexpected results of emphasizing traditional software deliverables and organizational structures. In this presentation, we will focus on undifferentiated work, how to recognize it and how to motivate your organization to focus instead on differentiated work. No one knows your customers better than you, why have your teams build custom infrastructure or software frameworks instead of adding business value?

The cloud promises highly scalable infrastructure, economies of scale, lower costs and a more secure platform. When moving to the cloud, how do you take advantage of these new capabilities? How do you optimize your organization to make the best use of the resiliency and elasticity offered by the cloud? Closely associated with cloud computing is Continuous Delivery, the automated process to get changes to your customers quickly, safely and in a sustainable way. Continuous Delivery was born in the cloud and is a great way to get ideas to your customers. There’s one catch, if you want to adopt a Continuous Delivery strategy, you need to build applications differently, your team structure needs to change and how you test and validate systems needs to adapt to these changes.
