Speakers Tech Up Nights Vol. 4

• Predicting and improving team performance: metrics and Monte Carlo forecasting
  
  

  As leaders, we deal with many challenges, some of which are potentially hard to tackle:  knowing if the team is performing well, and predicting the length of any new development.

  
  

  Assessing performance without metrics would mean making decisions blindly; without data, it is pure guesswork. But which data can we retrieve and how should we use it?

  
  

  In this presentation, we’ll share our experience finding the right metrics and applying them to perform more accurate forecasting and improve our teams’ performance.

  
  Ocado Technology: Jordi Montornés (Engineering Team Lead)


• Naval route optimization with AI
  We will explain a real use case where IBM has managed to optimize maritime routes by taking advantage of Machine Learning, several APIs and the design of a Human Machine Interface for its consumption.
  IBM: Erim Yurci (Site Reliability Engineer at CE), Wayne Cabanto (Technology Engineer).

More speakers confirmed soon.
