NLJUG Modern IT Leadership Summit 2024

NLJUG Modern IT Leadership Summit 2024

In an era of perpetual disruption, much of it driven by advancements in business technology, access to industry insights and expertise is more crucial than ever. That’s where the Modern IT Leadership Summit (MILS) comes in.

During the Modern IT Leadership Summit, experienced managers with decision-making authority on strategic and tactical IT issues are invited to share their experiences, vision, and best practices. This event takes place in a 50-minute time slot during the largest Java conference in the Netherlands: J-Fall. It is scheduled for November 7, 14:40 → 15:30 Room 7.

This year’s theme: “Software Engineering Intelligence: How (not) to Measure Team Productivity”

In today’s rapidly evolving software development landscape, productivity is no longer just about lines of code, or the number of features shipped. Measuring team productivity in software engineering has become more complex, and traditional methods often fall short in capturing the true value and effectiveness of engineering teams. How can we better understand team productivity, and perhaps more importantly, what should we avoid?

Join industry leaders, experts, and experienced engineers in an engaging panel discussion during the Modern IT Leadership Summit (MILS), where we will dive into the intricacies of measuring productivity of software engineering teams. Our panelists will explore the challenges of traditional metrics, the role of modern software engineering intelligence tools, output-based contracting and the cultural impact of measurement practices on teams.

With this event, panelists can offer the J-Fall audience insights into the challenges they face and establish closer connections with the Dutch Java community.

MILS primarily targets IT management, IT leaders, CTOs, and CIOs. However, all J-Fall attendees are welcome to join this session.

Distinguished panel members include renowned experts and leaders from various sectors of the industry:

  • – Maxim Oei – Tech Strategist at Picnic Technologies
  • – Mischa Dasberg – Senior Technical Lead at CarePay
  • – Marianne Hoornenborg – Practice Lead IT Development, Dutch Camber of Commerce, KVK
  • – Dr. Werner Heijstek – Senior Director at Software Improvement Group
