great challenges around how to prioritize a single backlog, how to 
improve software quality, and how to reduce support costs. The 
opportunity to do this well comes from taking a data-driven approach to 
decision-making. To help Agile teams improve their processes, Jubin will 
demonstrate how to apply machine learning techniques to obtain insights 
from the petabytes of logs that applications produce. Jubin not only 
build on work from the world of DNA sequencing, but also Lean & eXtreme 
Programming techniques to help teams produce the great product(s) you 
have always wanted.
