We have a very special international speaker lined up for this event with Dr. Rebecca Parsons, the ThoughtWorks Chief Technology Officer available to speak while visiting Perth. 

Session details:

A major point of contention between IT departments and their business counterparts is the lack of responsiveness to change in IT systems. How these systems got to this condition is one question, but this talk addresses the issue of how to change the situation. Making a system maintainable requires new tools and processes. This talk will describe the various techniques that transform a system to one that can be readily enhanced and provide the warning mechanisms that prevent inadvertent drift back into the mud. 

This is a ThoughtWorks sponsored event.  More details:
