*Tampa QA Meetup is partnering with Tampa JUG and Tampa Devs to to talk about 12 Essential Practices to be Effective in Continuous Delivery.*

Continuous Delivery extends the spirit of agility, from development to production, in order to keep pace with the fast changing business demands. In order to succeed in that spirit to keep up with change, we need to bring in several sustainable practices. Without proper discipline and rigor the efforts for continuous deliver can soon turn into a nightmare for teams and organizations that rely on them. In this presentation we will discuss a dozen practices, why we need to focus on each one of them, and how they impact the ability to keep pace with continuous delivery.

**Agenda:**

* **5:00 - 6:00 PM**: Networking & Food
* **6:00 - 8:00 PM**: Partner Introduction, Talk, Raffle

Data is the secret sauce that we use to measure impact and drive success at our companies. We hoard as much of it as we can with the goals to make sense of it and extract value. But delivering on that promise isn't so simple. If data science is where the data is analyzed, data engineering is how it gets there.

Join Rich Winslow, CTO at Tetricus Labs, and a data engineer/scientist with 20 years of experience handling and managing data, to learn how to approach data engineering problems practically and ask the right questions. You'll also hear his personal anecdotes that drive home what can go right and wrong when deploying your own solutions.

**Who should attend**:
Anyone who works with data and wants to get a better understanding of how to create value from raw information.

**Why attend**:
There are many tools, books, and resources out there on solutions to data engineering problems, but few to no resources on *how* to think about and approach those problems. This will give you a foundation to start from so you ask the right questions and look for the right solutions.
