Agile DevOps: The Long, Ugly Story of How We Got Better

Come here the story of how a $300 million healthcare automation company used Agile and DevOps to turn around a struggling project for their next generation product suite.


Told from the perspective of a developer turned QA manager turned Agile coach, the presentation outlines a 3 year transition from a Scrum-But shop to a mature Agile company focusing on customer value and product quality.


This tale has many up and downs, detailing the issues we encountered, our attempts to resolve them (with varying degrees of success and failure), and how eventually we took a project that had been limping along for 2 years to one that was delivering to clients at the end of each Sprint the same day as the Sprint Review.


We’ll cover all the bases from product ownership, development, quality assurance, automated testing/deployments, dealing with hardware/ regulatory compliance, and more. If you want to hear a real world, practical adventure in Agile DevOps that is not always pretty but has a happy ending, then this is the session for you.
