The continuous delivery of user value is top of mind for product development teams today. Core to their approach is a focus on real-time decision making in every step of the workflow – from product development, to delivery and finally to the measurement of outcomes. The issue these teams are now facing, is how to iterate on those decisions within a closed feedback loop. This first annual conference will feature a mix of keynote sessions, expert panels and fireside chats with industry leaders from today’s dynamic organizations to explore challenges, trends and best practices.

“The speed of innovation in the software industry is exhilarating, but can be quite daunting for product development teams,” said Adil Aijaz, chief executive officer at Split. “It impacts how products are developed and has given rise to an entirely new set of tools and processes – not to mention the cultural transformation of the teams who adopt them. This transformation has created a struggle for teams wanting to make the right decisions at every step in the workflow, while delivering r********, valuable software. We feel a deep responsibility to provide a platform that can facilitate an exchange of ideas amongst everyone impacted – Engineers, Product Managers, and Data Scientists – so that as a community we work smarter, deliver better software, and continue to move faster.”
