Summary of: “Open Mic Event - 3 interesting topics" held on Wednesday, December 14, 2016 from 8:00-10:00 AM.
Three Roundtable members lead the discussions on three interesting topics:
Shahid Shah
Conversational User Experiences (CUX): How should CTOs design technology for a world without normal screens, “apps” or voice-only mobile experiences? We discussed how Chatbots, messaging and AI-infused conversations are changing how consumers are acquiring products and services.
Patrick Gartlan
Managing Cloud Infrastructure: Organizations have migrated significant workloads to the cloud. Virtual Machine Sprawl and Cybersecurity in the cloud are real issues. We discussed best practices in managing cloud deployments from security and cost perspectives.
Thad Scheer
#noprojects: The #noprojects movement is taking the industry by storm as an emerging trend in world-class software production. For the first time, we have a legitimate answer to the question, “what comes after Agile”? While the name is somewhat self-illuminating and the philosophy is an extension of Kanban, there are surprising aspects to the movement that anyone working in IT today should be aware of. We discussed what #noprojects is, who is behind it, and what parts are practical (or impractical) in a 2017 timeframe.
