      Agile Alliance Virtual OnAgile Conference Wednesday, October 25, 2017 - 6:00am to 3:00pm MDT Register here! https://www.agilealliance.org/onagile2017/ Note: You MUST register with the Agile Alliance for this event - a meetup RSVP will not give you access to this event. Back to Basics - Delivering Awesome Products with Agile! In the early days of Agile, the organizations that ‘got it’ didn’t need a playbook of frameworks, tools, and methods. They rallied around the 4 simple values and 12 timeless principles that formed the Agile Manifesto. Over the last 16 years, Agile has exploded in popularity and sometimes it seems we’ve pushed the Agile Manifesto aside to focus our attention inwards instead of focusing on what matters: Building awesome products that customers and users love. at 6:00 am

      The Power of DataOps for Cloud and Digital Transformation Wednesday, October 25 2017 - 11:00AM MDT Companies have been trying to speed up their innovation delivery for many years but often at the cost of higher quality and stronger security. Despite billions invested to accelerate innovation, projects are too often slowed by data friction - the result of growing volumes of silo’d data and multiple requests for data. Overcoming these sources of friction requires constant iteration across several key dimensions: • Reducing the total cost of data by making it fast and efficient to deliver data, regardless of source or consumer. Automation and tooling is critical. • Integrating security and governance into a seamless data delivery process. This requires integrated masking, but also a governance platform and process to ensure the right rules and access controls are in place. • Breaking down silos between people and organizations. This starts with the organizational change to bring people together into one team, but requires technology change to provide self-service data access and control. at 11:00 am

      Mastering MDX for Analytics and Reporting, Jennifer Hanks, Key Performance Ideas Tue, Oct 31, 2017 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM MDT MDX is often used in ASO cube member formulas, but did you know you can also use MDX to write reports and Smart View queries? Did you know that these reports and queries can be written against both BSO and ASO cubes? MDX can seem daunting, but with a basic understanding of syntax and functions, MDX is not that difficult. Join us for our webinar and learn what you need to get started writing MDX reports and queries that can supplement your reporting and add a new tool to your reporting tool set. Presented by Jennifer Hanks at Kscope 17 and awarded best presentation of the BI & Reporting Track, Jennifer will share: • Best practices for building formulas, including examples to visualize the appropriate approach • A comparison of MDX to BSO formulas and the conversion of BSO to ASO, specifically instances where very distinct differences can occur, and how to make the process run smoothly • How to use MDX editor to write queries and reports against both BSO and ASO cubes The goal of this webinar is to help attendees brainstorm new formulas their leadership might find useful, particularly when reviewing how other companies have built and leverage MDX on a daily basis for trend analysis, salary projections, turnover analysis, forecasting, and budgeting purposes using KPIs, and more. at 10:00 am

      Empowering Your Trusted Data Operators Through DataOps Wednesday, November 1 2017 - 11:00AM MDT Every day, companies are demanding more data to be made available in more places, such as the cloud. This places an unsustainable demand on some of the company’s most valuable assets, the data operators; this includes dba’s, storage admins, InfoSec, and more. Though the demand grows at an exponential pace, data operators have to balance the demands of the data consumers against the budgetary, security, and operational requirements required to protect the business, and its employees and customers. This constant conflict is called data friction. The only way businesses will survive in the data economy is by applying DataOps to enable data operators to deliver the data that the consumers need, when and where they need it. at 11:00 am

      Self-Service Access to Data for Developers and Testers Wednesday, November 8 2017 - 11:00AM MST There is an ever growing constituency of data consumers that are responsible for using data to drive new projects and innovation; this includes developers, testers, data scientists, analysts, and more. As the number of data consumers grows, so to does their appetite for more data to be available in more places, like the cloud. But all too often, the demands of the data consumer are constrained by data friction in the form of red tape, security, and manual process, slowing them down to a crawl and hindering them from reacting at the speed that the business requires. The only way businesses will survive in the data economy is by applying DataOps to eliminate the data friction keeping their best resources from getting the data they need, when they need it. at 11:00 am

      2017 CSA-CO Fall Summit Thursday, November 9, 2017 - 8:00am to 5:00pm MDT Arvada Center For the Arts & Humanities 6901 Wadsworth Blvd, Arvada, CO Join us for the 2nd annual Cloud Security Alliance Fall Summit that will take place Thursday, Nov 9th at the Arvada Center. Today, the cloud represents the central IT system by which organizations will transform themselves over the coming years. As cloud represents the future of an agile enterprise, new technology trends, such as Internet of Things (IoT), quantum computing, and container technologies extend the benefits of cloud – but also creates new attack vectors for ambitious and resourceful adversaries. This year’s Cloud Security Alliance Summit welcomes world leading security experts and cloud providers to discuss global governance, the latest trends in technology, the threat landscape, security innovations, best practices and global governance in order to help organizations address the new frontiers in cloud security. There will be three tracks (Business, Technical, Compliance/Risk) to choose from, feel free to mix & match. at 8:00 am
