The Treasure Map, Hands-On: Chart Your Way to Continuous Delivery
There is pain inherent in development - monoliths, confusing deployment processes, conflict between dev/ops/security/business… IT is complicated, and hard to do well, and the pace of change expected by customers makes it all even MORE difficult.
It can also be massively overwhelming to try to fix any of these pain points. A plan can help, but…how do you go about making that plan, and how do you share the plan with other people in a way that's easy to understand?
Join Josh and Laine as they talk about how to create a version of this map for your organization - by focusing on what you want to accomplish and the pain points in the way. You'll leave with a version of the problems in the way of accomplishing CD at your organization, along with some “huh, this isn't as overwhelming as it seemed before!”
This workshop will include a lot of discussion and interaction, and probably some feels!
About Laine Minor
Laine has been a developer, a technical lead, a stay at home mom, and an IT architect – and that last was a broad enough title that it let her do both technical things AND cultural things.
She realized then that that was her most favorite place to be, in that in-between place of technology and culture.
She also learned that enabling people and organizations is HARD work, and that explaining that in-between place can help.
