Just as mass production defined the landscape in the 20th century, mastering large-scale software delivery will define the 21st. Unfortunately, businesses and the technology leaders outside of the tech giants are woefully ill-equipped to solve the problems posed by digital transformation.

This session will discuss how BMW Group implemented a connected end-to-end value stream— from requirement to road—and how Tasktop is helping optimize the flow of business value across their entire organization.

DevOps Transformation leader with expertise in the implementation of DevOps, Lean and Agile practices to improve software delivery across all Technologies. Recently worked on the implementation of DevOps practices to accelerate delivery at a Fortune 100 company. This includes providing a continuous delivery pipeline to give Business areas the ability to deliver as fast as they need to based on their own determination of cost, risk and value. My goal is to consult with other companies to help them determine how they can drive accelerated results across their delivery value stream.
