Agile Evolution: An Enterprise transformation that shows that you can too

“That would never work here.” You’ve likely heard this sentiment (or maybe you’ve even said it yourself). Good news: change is possible. Martin Hinshelwood explains how Microsoft's Azure DevOps Services formerly VSTS went from a three-year waterfall delivery cycle to three-week iterations and open sourced the Azure DevOps task library and the Git Virtual File System.

There is a lot we can learn both from Microsoft's success and failures in moving towards Scrum, Agile, & Continuous Delivery.

Focus: DevOps Story / Journey of Microsoft to CD

Agile Evolution: Live Site Culture & Site Reliability at Azure DevOps

With the shift-left movement pushing more responsibility to the engineering teams what practices will help them cope with running a production site. These are the experiance of the Azure DevOps Services team and their journey from on premises to a fully fledged SAAS solution and wjay they need to do to run it and build trust with their customers.

We will cover the importance of transparency, telemitery, on-call, and how to protect your feature teams from disruptions without them loosing touch with production.

Focus: many teams, big public services, build-test-run
