Stacy Moore

Stacy Moore

IT Portfolio Manager, PMO Governance Team, State of Colorado

Stacy has worked on several transformation projects for multiple public entities and successful agile integration has occurred each time using practical approaches opposed to rigid, religious implementations that are exclusively applied by and for small development teams. For example, what most people learn first when it comes to agile is the Scrum framework. Granted, industry standard agile terminology comes from Scrum and is important to learn, however, Scrum states team members should be solely focused on one project at a time and that the Scrum team does not include a project management role. Is that practical? Maybe for a startup team. Does that allow large, complex organizations to gain the the full benefits agile can provide, absolutely not. Many of Stacy’s current and past roles have been supporting practical agile integration, and the results have not only allowed organizations as a whole to mature to 21st-century work models, but to start practicing and delivering solution components more often and more targeted to customer needs.

Bronkar Lee, Peak Performance Expert, Author, Speaker and Dynamic Performer (@BronkarLee)

We live and work in a fast-paced, high-pressure world.

Navigating the Cyber Landscape

Capitol Ballroom 1

Government organizations are under attack and the stakes have never been higher. Threats of all types are increasingly sophisticated and better organized. Spearfishing, ransomware, hacktivism and election tampering are becoming full-fledged industries with remarkably low barriers to entry. This session looks at the elements necessary to predict, collaborate, prepare for and respond to today’s most insidious threats.

Emerging Technologies That Will Impact Government

Capitol Ballroom 2

A hundred years ago, consumers were just starting to get familiar with electricity, telephones, refrigerators, stainless steel, washing machines and zippers. Those were glory days for technology, but no more so than today. Technology continues at a mad rate to insert itself ever more deeply into our lives, changing forever how we work, play and relate to others. This session looks at some of the cool products and innovations that are shaping an extraordinary future.

Agile IT

Capitol Ballroom 3

Conventional project management and software development are deliberate and orderly, emphasizing rigorous specification and planning. Today, however, our consumer-centric society is pushing the pace of development and response, leading to far shorter windows and putting a strain on traditional methodologies. The panelists in this session will share current thinking about when and why an agile approach is appropriate, potential challenges, and how to form a realistic action plan to leverage this approach to project management.

Featured Speaker - Expectations of a Constantly Connected Generation

Capitol Ballroom 4 – 7

Michael Hakkarinen, Instructional Technology Specialist, Utah Education Network (@edtechakk)

Technology is transforming society in fundamental ways as new generations grow up using portable digital devices, often before they can even walk or talk. In this 24/7 online world, we take connectivity and engagement for granted, evolving into a digitally divided society. The haves and have nots, the online and the disconnected, the technically savvy and the digitally discouraged. From millennials to baby boomers, the differences between our generational expectations are growing to a point where a "fear of the young" can sometimes emerge. In this session, we will discuss the challenges and opportunities that IT professionals face, and ask the difficult questions necessary to bring our culture together in a truly connected environment.

Intelligent Communities and IoT

Capitol Ballroom 1

It’s clear that smart technologies and IoT are the future of our communities. Is government ready for billions – soon to be trillions – of sensors and devices connected to one another that will transform our society? This session explores the role of government in using, controlling and surviving the hyper-connected world of IoT and how it will affect our communities.

Reinventing the Citizen Experience

Capitol Ballroom 2

In this highly interactive and fast-paced society, people are getting more demanding about, well, everything. The pressure is mounting on government services, too, and one of the Governor’s top priorities is to make “citizen-centric” more than a buzzword. To one degree or another, each of us is expected to wear the hat of “Chief Customer Officer”. This session discusses innovative strategies to remake government’s relationship with its customers into something more stimulating and rewarding.

Optimizing the Workforce and Workplace of Tomorrow

Capitol Ballroom 3

For years, government has widely reported the onset of the “silver tsunami.” The looming retirement wave is driving the need to accelerate innovative recruitment and retention practices in government at all levels, particularly in IT. Questions about mobility, flexibility, collaboration tools and collaborative spaces are becoming common during the interview process. Yet government is not always prepared to offer competitive answers in today’s legacy environment. This session offers a look at what some innovative organizations are doing to scrap outmoded practices, address modernization and embrace new paradigms.

Why Broadband Matters

In Colorado’s rural areas, only 7 in 10 people have access to broadband, but groundbreaking work is being done to achieve 100 percent access by 2020. This will ensure that every county has the tools needed for economic development and success. This session provides an update on the progress being made and why it is so important to the State.

Tony Neal-Graves, Executive Director, Broadband Office, Governor’s Office of Information Technology, State of Colorado

Critical Infrastructure in Colorado – Is it Secure?

Attacks on critical infrastructure - think chemical, energy, manufacturing, water, transportation, etc - are a growing concern as IoT devices connect the world around us. The Colorado Information Analysis Center (CIAC) receives, analyzes and shares threat information related to structures and systems that are vital to Colorado’s infrastructure. This eye-opening session will give an overview of CIAC, current projects and their efforts to manage risks through an integrated approach.

Jerry Eastman, Cyber Security Intelligence Analyst, Colorado Information and Analysis Center (CIAC)

Collaboration is Key

For the second year in a row, Douglas County ranks in the top ten happiest Counties in the United States. What’s their secret? More than one factor can be credited but it can’t hurt that IT in the County focuses on collaborating, innovating and leading the way to streamlined citizen services. This session showcases Douglas County accomplishments, projects and initiatives that are optimizing citizen services in a meaningful way.
