Justin will explain through real-world use cases how teams can adopt the emerging practice of metric scorecards to reduce meetings and streamline release readiness assessments using data and automation. The list of criteria required to release a service to production, often referred to as a “production readiness standard,” is a mandatory component of reliable systems of software delivery. Aligning to these standards cross-functionally is challenging, especially when standards may need to be bypassed or changed, often at the last minute. And most importantly, systems always drift, and software that met these requirements six months ago may not still be meeting them today – so can they still be considered ready for production? Teams often resort to time-consuming practices which are brittle and difficult to change. Cortex has pioneered the scorecard as means of driving engineering initiatives using gamification. By ingesting data from the various systems that engineers would normally check manually process are streamlined and readiness checks transformed to an always-on, continuous verification of readiness.

This presentation delves into the concept of Swift modularization, highlighting the practice of breaking down monolithic codebases into smaller, more manageable subprojects. We will discuss the various automation tools available that can streamline the creation and management of these subprojects, making the development process more efficient. Additionally, we will explore the benefits of a modularized codebase, such as improved parallel build processes, faster build times, easier maintenance, and enhanced scalability. Attendees will gain practical insights and strategies to optimize their Swift development workflow for increased efficiency and productivity.

AI and hybrid cloud are increasingly influencing IT infrastructure priorities and strategy. AI is becoming mainstream, yet data access, quality, management and privacy challenges remain. Hybrid cloud has become the norm, and 39% of data breaches studied resulted in the loss of data across multiple environments including public cloud, private cloud, and on-prem. As businesses modernize applications, they are looking to innovate and deploy as-a-service in best-fit environments to improve business outcomes. IBM Infrastructure plays an important role for our clients; it's where data, security, performance and flexibility meet mission-critical needs, particularly in regulated industries. Join Hillery Hunter, CTO and General Manager, Innovation for IBM Infrastructure to see our latest solutions and learn how we are helping clients deliver new value with future-ready infrastructure.

This panel discussion explores the dynamic intersection between human expertise and advanced technology in strengthening cybersecurity for critical infrastructure. Two expert panelists will investigate effective approaches to address challenges of achieving comprehensive cyber hygiene objectives with limited resources.
