Keynote: Pivotal & Allianz Fireside Chat
summary
Allianz describes moving core development onto Pivotal Cloud Foundry with collocated “garages” (teams of 10–12) and pairing plus TDD to cut deployments from days to minutes, targeting 90–97% test coverage. Two labs open (Munich April, Stuttgart July) now host ~186 people; a telematics app sold ~9,000 policies with a 40% rebate product. New hiring uses pair-programming interviews; product work runs as 100-day MVPs costing about €500–600k per team and gated on clear KPIs.
