Hanno Jarvet from Jarvet Consulting will give a talk “Introduction to: How to predict and manage towards multiple futures.” The future is already here – it’s just not very evenly distributed. (William Gibson) Technology is now an integral part of any organisation’s future. This places new demands on CIOs and CTOs to: – constantly increase productivity while reducing costs – align the IT organisation and the technology behind the business vision – support different stakeholders with their ever increasing needs in different contexts. Historically strategies, roadmaps and business plans were used to communicate intent. Now there is a better way to bridge the gap between business and IT, predict the future and to help get everyone on the same page. If you understand your value chain and the evolution of technology, a multitude of events can even be predicted and prepared for. I will share practical examples, tools and models that I have used to help organisations make progress in predicting and adapting for the future. – Common economic patterns: e.g. why DevOps is the new legacy. – Strategic situational awareness: How to predict the actions of your global competition. – Applying doctrine. – Achieving consensus on technology selection. – Choosing contextually appropriate methods (Agile, Waterfall, Lean etc.). – Achieving a common vocabulary with all stakeholders. – Managing the current situation towards multiple futures. (Language – English) Tags: agile, strategy execution, product development, organisational structure, hierarchy, networks, process improvement
Hanno helps companies to dramatically improve performance. Since 2006 he has helped dozens of companies and software teams improve their processes and productivity. He has worked with such industries as telecom, IT, outdoor media, government, non-profit, education, banking, insurance and energy.

Agenda for BigData focused 88th Devclub.lv
Nicolas Frankel from Hazelcast will share experience on “Introduction to data streaming“. While “software is eating the world”, those who are able to best manage the huge mass of data will emerge out on the top. The batch processing model has been faithfully serving us for decades. However, it might have reached the end of its usefulness for all but some very specific use-cases. As the pace of businesses increases, most of the time, decision-makers prefer slightly wrong data sooner, than 100% accurate data later. Stream processing – or data streaming – exactly matches this usage: instead of managing the entire bulk of data, manage pieces of them as soon as they become available. (Language – English) Tags: Big Data, Data Streaming, Hazelcast Jet, Stream Processing, Open Data
Nicolas is a Developer Advocate with 15+ years of experience consulting for many different customers, in a wide range of contexts (such as telecoms, banking, insurances, large retail, and public sector). Usually working on Java/Java EE and Spring technologies, but with focused interests like Rich Internet Applications, Testing, CI/CD and DevOps. Currently working for Hazelcast. Also double as a teacher in universities and higher education schools, a trainer and triples as a book author.
