Description: 

Join ThoughtWorks, renowned as one of the pioneers and leaders in the evolution and practice of Agile Software Development, as we present our Continuous Delivery workshop. 

Who should attend?

Those who want to close the gap between Development (Applications/Software Engineering teams), Technology Operations (Release Managers), and Quality Assurance (Testing and QA Managers).

Learning Outcomes:

• The importance of fast feedback on the production readiness of your application  throughout the delivery process, and how to get it done right
  
  


• How to improve collaboration between people involved in delivering software (developers, testers, and operations personnel)


• Principles and practices that enable continuous deployment, including data management


• How to automate testing and deployment


• How to evolve your application without using version control branches


• How to manage continuous delivery with large and distributed teams


• How to transform your organization's delivery process to enable continuous delivery

Refreshments, coffee and light fare will be served during breaks. 



Agenda: 

     8:30am - 9:00am:  Registration



     9:00am - 10:30am

• Questions & Answers

     10:30am - 10:45am: Break



     10:45am - 12:00pm

• A brief refresher on continuous integration, with particular reference to how to integrate it with the rest of the delivery process


• Why branching in version control is inimical to continuous delivery. Using incremental development, a superior alternative to version control branching which allows for application evolution. Example from Go


• Interactive exercise: take various architectures and team structures and discuss how to apply branch-by-abstraction to enable continuous delivery

     12:00pm - 1:00pm: Lunch Break



     12:00pm - 2:20pm

• Building deployment pipelines for component-based architectures, including dependency management


• Going live: How this differs from deployment. A/B testing and business metrics


• Data management and migration

     2:20pm - 2:40pm: Break



     2:40pm - 4:00pm

• Environment and Infrastructure management, including provisioning, management, and monitoring - part 2


• Managing continuous delivery Continuous improvement. How to implement a deployment pipeline through modeling the delivery process. How to evolve the pipeline, and your organization's delivery process

     4:00pm - 5:00pm Open Forum: Questions & Answers
