Manchester Tech Nights #9
Thursday 11th June 2015, 7pm
Spaceport 26 Lever Street, Manchester, M1 1DW
Manchester Tech Nights is a meetup aimed at Manchester's technology community, either the people who are making Manchester's tech scene what it is, or just those who are interested and want to keep up-to-date. We want to find out what's going on across the north west, regardless of language. The night kicks off with a headline talk, followed by a series of shorter lightning talks and then an informal chat between attendees.
Manchester Tech Nights would like to thank McCann Manchester for sponsoring our 9th event!
Headline Speaker
How experimentation ultimately drives the innovation cycle
The software delivery problem has evolved, now it's about leveraging the insights that our customers are giving us to build truly innovative products that challenge both their and our own assumptions. Continuous measurement combined with hypothesis driven development generates a fast feedback cycle, a foundation to fail fast and aligns software delivery to business strategy and objectives. In this presentation Kate Logan will share her experience embedding methods of continuous measurement to drive new product offerings forward and leap frog the competition.
