The world is full of exciting examples of how DevOps can make a huge difference to organisations but the examples are often small tech start-ups or the bespoke software development teams of large organizations. However, many organizations don’t fit into these categories.

They are large-sized (1000-5000 people) but not very large. They have a very heterogeneous IT environment with a mixture of bespoke software development, SaaS solutions, managed service, IT outsource and their own infrastructure build. Their technology and transformation teams have to cope with a huge amount of complexity without the deep bench strength of the largest organizations.

And while many of the existing DevOps and agile approaches aren’t always explicitly applicable, these organisations still have an urgent strategic need to increase the pace at which they deliver technology based change.

This presentation will show how Leeds Building Society is tackling this challenge and what we’ve learned along the way.
