From PoC to Production: Delivering with Confidence with Databricks

Many organisations stall at the Proof-of-Concept (PoC) stage, struggling to translate early wins into scalable, business-ready outcomes. This session is designed for Delivery Managers, Product Owners, and Leaders who want to move beyond experimentation and deliver lasting value with Databricks.
We’ll explore practical strategies for:

• Structuring projects from discovery through production with clear milestones and measurable outcomes.
• Managing stakeholder expectations to avoid scope creep and align on success criteria early.
• Establishing strong delivery governance to keep projects on track and accountable.
• Deploying Databricks infrastructure correctly from the outset — including multi-environment setup (Dev/Test/Prod), Unity Catalog, storage configuration, and CI/CD with Databricks Asset Bundles — to ensure scalable, secure, and reproducible deployments.
• Avoiding the “never-ending PoC” trap by creating a clear path to productionisation.

Through real-world delivery examples, we’ll show how to combine best practices in project management with modern Databricks capabilities to:

• Accelerate time to value
• De-risk deployments
• Build stakeholder confidence in data & AI programmes
