NM's SDLC Journey, One Year Later.
A year ago NM was just beginning our journey of transformation. We partnered accross the enterprise to focus on simplification and standardization. A year into our journey, we have made some incredible progress and continued to make this program top of mind for leadership. In the past year we have rolled out multiple opinionated paths for developers, gotten our program included in every engineer's yearly goals, and cut out processes changing our lead time from ~2 weeks to 2 hours. In our progress update, we will share more about the milestones we've hit and the strategies we've used to keep the momentum going.
