Join IIBA® Melbourne as they host an online event specifically on how to develop business capability maps.
About this event
Ever wondered how to develop business capability maps? or perhaps you need a refresher?
Join Mohammad Mirkarimi Senior Business Architect at Capsifi and David Grindlay Principal Business Architect at Capsifi as they guide us through this session.
Captivated by art, science and business - Mohammad is trying to bring these three together. Moh is a drummer, a physics and biology enthusiast, and a business architect and analyst. He has studied Engineering, Business Management and Finance in academia. Also, equipped with IIBA, TOGAF and The Business Architecture Guild bodies of knowledge. Moh has worked as team member, leader and visionary in Management Consulting, Banking, Wealth, Insurance, Government, Telecom and Education industries.
With over 15 years of experience implementing software, David started his career as a business analyst in South Africa primarily in the financial services – insurance industry. In 2014 he moved over to Australia where he really started to observe the notorious gap between business strategies and project roadmaps as well as the downstream implications. More recently in his career, he gained broader exposure to other industries (Retail, Financial Services, Government and Hospitality) helping to structurally decompose business strategies, define the business landscape and help project teams (Business and Technical) realise and align on their common purpose. Today, David considers himself a Business Architect, doing whatever it takes to help companies realise their vision.
This session will contain two parts:
The first part is about learning the basics. There will also be time to review some theoretical stuff – but we promise it won’t be boring! We’ll review The Business Architecture Guild’s view by taking an Object-oriented approach to developing a business capability map
In the second part, we’ll pick a business (a simple one for this exercise, e.g. local cafe) and apply what we’ve studied to develop a business capability map for the chosen business.
At the end of the session, there will be time to share our learnings!

Application Management and Support - Shared Services Featuring the Pay Per Ti...Jade Global
Today, a variety of IT applications support business processes, giving it a competitive edge. Hence, applications that drive these businesses need to evolve just as rapidly while ensuring uninterrupted service to the customer.

How Application Discovery and Dependency Mapping can stop you from losing cus...ManageEngine
With ever shortening technology life cycles, change is not only constant but also quite frequent in today’s IT enterprise. But can your business keep up with such rapidly evolving IT? To stay on top of the change management game, you need to know exactly WHAT components constitute your IT setup, exactly WHERE each of them are, HOW they all are interconnected, and WHICH business service depends on each component. With application discovery and dependency mapping (ADDM), you can comprehensively map these interdependencies not only between the components themselves but between the components and the business services that rely on them as well.
To learn more about ADDM listen to Eveline Oehrlich, VP and research director (IT Infrastructure and Operations) of Forrester on our webinar, “How Application Discovery and Dependency Mapping can stop you from losing customers.” Learn:
- What ADDM is, its challenges, and the benefits of adopting this approach
- How you can make better business decisions and use ADDM to recover quickly from application downtime
Also, catch an exclusive preview of the upcoming ADDM feature in ManageEngine Applications Manager.

Cobit from Mars ITIL from Venus - alignmentKathryn Howard
The document discusses how COBIT and ITIL are frameworks that approach IT governance and management from different perspectives but with the shared goal of delivering business value. It provides overviews of key aspects of each framework such as COBIT's focus on principles, goals cascade, and processes, and ITIL's emphasis on the service lifecycle and continual service improvement. The document suggests that while COBIT and ITIL have differences, comparisons can be useful and aligning the two frameworks can help organizations effectively govern and manage their IT.
In this presentation, we will discuss in depth about the importance of technology in business, what IT governance is and its impact.

Elasticity vs. State? Exploring Kafka Streams Cassandra State StoreScyllaDB
kafka-streams-cassandra-state-store' is a drop-in Kafka Streams State Store implementation that persists data to Apache Cassandra.
By moving the state to an external datastore the stateful streams app (from a deployment point of view) effectively becomes stateless. This greatly improves elasticity and allows for fluent CI/CD (rolling upgrades, security patching, pod eviction, ...).
It also can also help to reduce failure recovery and rebalancing downtimes, with demos showing sporty 100ms rebalancing downtimes for your stateful Kafka Streams application, no matter the size of the application’s state.
As a bonus accessing Cassandra State Stores via 'Interactive Queries' (e.g. exposing via REST API) is simple and efficient since there's no need for an RPC layer proxying and fanning out requests to all instances of your streams application.

Corporate Open Source Anti-Patterns: A Decade LaterScyllaDB
A little over a decade ago, I gave a talk on corporate open source anti-patterns, vowing that I would return in ten years to give an update. Much has changed in the last decade: open source is pervasive in infrastructure software, with many companies (like our hosts!) having significant open source components from their inception. But just as open source has changed, the corporate anti-patterns around open source have changed too: where the challenges of the previous decade were all around how to open source existing products (and how to engage with existing communities), the challenges now seem to revolve around how to thrive as a business without betraying the community that made it one in the first place. Open source remains one of humanity's most important collective achievements and one that all companies should seek to engage with at some level; in this talk, we will describe the changes that open source has seen in the last decade, and provide updated guidance for corporations for ways not to do it!

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdfleebarnesutopia
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
