Dinner Location: The Charles Hotel
For financial services and other regulated enterprises, the pressure to deliver software faster has never been greater—but neither has the scrutiny. Frameworks like DORA, BAIT, and MaRisk demand control and traceability, yet traditional compliance models still slow delivery to a crawl. With a new report finding a 20% or more roadmap loss, teams lose weeks to manual approvals, duplicated reviews, and outdated change boards designed for a pre automation era. How can organizations move safely without sacrificing speed?
Leaders are proving that compliance and speed can work together. By embedding approvals and evidence within the delivery pipeline, teams can meet regulatory requirements without slowing progress. Automating application and database deployments reduces errors, shortens lead times, and improves reliability & resilience. Standardizing tooling across teams enhances visibility and governance, turning compliance into a continuous process that accelerates delivery and strengthens control.
Join us to explore how technology and process design can align regulators and developers on a shared goal: delivering innovation securely and continuously. Hear how peers are modernizing approval chains, reducing roadmap loss, and satisfying auditors without slowing delivery.
