"I look forward to helping IT executives develop strategies to innovate rapidly and increase feedback from customers by applying the tools provided by Continuous Delivery."
These executive events offer IT professionals the opportunity to engage with ThoughtWorks industry experts and to learn how Continuous Delivery is shaping the future of software development. Continuous Delivery is a revolutionary Agile methodology that enables any team, including teams within enterprise IT organizations, to achieve rapid, reliable releases through better collaboration between developers, testers, operations and the business. It also enables the automation of the build, deploy, test and release process to massively reduce both cycle time and the transaction cost of putting out new releases.
During the talk Humble will discuss the value of Continuous Delivery to the business, with reference to the Lean Startup movement. He will present the principles and practices of Continuous Delivery, the deployment pipeline, acceptance test driven development, zero-downtime releases and incremental development. He will then outline how Continuous Delivery creates a holistic ecosystem that includes DevOps, cloud computing, Agile testing and continuous deployment.
The Continuous Delivery Executive Events are currently scheduled for Chicago on Oct. 21, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. at ThoughtWorks corporate headquarters, 25th floor of the AON Center (lunch included).
