Abstract

Are you sure you are doing continuous delivery? Yeah right! We thought we were too.

The journey to continuous delivery (CD) is long, winding and always evolving. Like with many things we thought we had achieved all we could with continuous delivery and then... our business model changed, and then... we decided to take something open source and then... we started a SaaS CD product from scratch. We soon realized that we weren’t doing all we could to continuously deliver. Come learn from our own experiences at ThoughtWorks as we talk about the lessons we have learned on our CD journey.

Attendees will leave with a set of practical steps to act as a guide on their journey to continuous delivery. We will start at the beginning, talk about the underlying practices and cultures you need to get started and what is needed to support you on your way.
