Rolf Russell, ThoughtWorks' Continuous Delivery practice lead, will kick off the webinar series with an introduction to Continuous Delivery. This talk introduces the principles and practices of Continuous Delivery, and aims to make it possible for an organization to deliver frequently (weekly, daily or even hourly) and confidently. As organizations' Continuous Delivery capabilities mature, they begin to develop code that is always production releasable, with business stakeholders pressing the release button as often as it makes business sense to do so. This webinar will touch on systems thinking, build pipelining, trunk-based development and automation.

Adaptive leadership is two dimensional: being Agile and doing Agile. Jim Highsmith, Chief Agile Strategist, will explore those activities that an agile leader or executive must "do" and provide insight on how to "be" Agile. The session will explore how adaptive leadership is critical to transforming IT organizations. Leading an Agile enterprise requires understanding agility from a strategic business perspective as well as understanding how practices like Continuous Design and Delivery help create a sustainable environment to create highly responsive and value-driven IT organizations.
