Scaling Continuous Delivery to Walmart

As we continue Walmart's journey to accelerate value delivery, incentivizing the outcomes we need from development teams is critical to success. We'll discuss the tight integration of metrics, open source tooling, education, and community we use to drive DevOps at the scale of a Fortune 1 company.
