We are delighted to announce Gojko Adzic as our main speaker for the evening. This is a talk of both technical and business interest.

Gojko specialises in agile and lean quality improvement, in particular impact mapping, agile testing, specification by example and behaviour driven development.

Speaker Topic: Turning Continuous Delivery into Competitive Business Advantage'

Continuous delivery is not just a technical tool. Regardless of whether we want it or not, it creates a fundamental change to the world around software teams, including marketing and customer interaction. Ignoring those changes is dangerous, because it can lead to conflicts with the rest of the company. Embracing those changes and exploiting them opens up new business opportunities. By recognizing and taking charge in this transformation, software teams can become much more valuable to the companies around them. This talk will focus on how to unlock all that potential, and turn the fact that your teams can deliver frequently into an engine that will help you outrun your competition.

This will be a popular event and space will be limited so we recommend booking quickly to avoid disappointment.

Gojko is running two courses in Christchurch in April. Click for details or see below.

Gojko’s book Specification by Example won the Jolt Award for the best book of 2012. In 2011, he was voted by peers as the most influential agile testing professional, and his blog won the UK Agile Award for the best online publication in 2010. Gojko is a frequent keynote speaker at leading software development conferences, and one of the authors of MindMup.
