5 Strategies to Resiliently Handle Uncertainty, Time Pressure & Change
As an engineer tasked with keeping large-scale software systems running under changing priorities and time pressure, you need REsilience capabilities that are both technical and organizational to successfully navigate modern software engineering work. These capabilities are to expertly:
- REcognize subtly changing events to provide early assessment and action;
- REvise your mental model in real-time of how adjust your actions;
- REplan in real time as conditions change;
- REconfigure your available technical and human resources;
- REview performance for continuous learning.
In this talk you’ll learn 5 practical resilience strategies- drawn from research on aiding human performance in complex, adaptive systems- that you can use to better anticipate and adapt to change in order to reduce stress, improve performance outcomes, and coordinate more effectively in your work

Comparing Apples and Volkswagens: The Problem With Aggregate Incident Metrics
Thursday Jun 15 / 11:50AM EDT
This talk presents data from the Verica Open Incident Database (VOID) to conclusively demonstrate how aggregate incident metrics (MTTR, severity, # of incidents/time) aren't representative of your systems' resilience.

Embrace Complexity; Tighten Your Feedback Loops
Thursday Jun 15 / 02:55PM EDT
When dealing with an environment that feels chaotic and unreliable, a common tendency is to look for ways to reduce variability and bring things back under control through procedures, hierarchy, metrics, and standardization.
