Talk Description:
Tactics To Kickstart Your Journey Toward Continuous Delivery
You’re probably a believer in the benefits of continuous delivery and DevOps (why else would you be at this meetup?). The rest of your organization... maybe not so much. Maybe you’re getting pushback on changes you believe will make your organization better. Maybe you’re not sure where or how to start to give yourself the best chance of making a change that will work.
I’ll give you some tactics to start your journey toward continuous delivery (or toward any meaningful change, for that matter). I’ll also show how you might apply those tactics to address a specific challenge: adding test automation to a large legacy codebase. The goal is that you walk away with more tools in your “change toolkit” and a little more enthusiasm for shaking things up for the better where you work.

Jeff is a Partner and Co-founder at Excella Consulting, a 140-ish-person IT consulting firm based in Arlington, VA. Excella helps their clients build the right thing and build it right so they can win. Jeff started his career as a developer and DBA then turned to the dark side by going into management. Now he lives vicariously through other engineers and reminisces about the good ol’ days when he spent most of his time in a code editor and the command line rather than Outlook and Excel. He loves his family, the Bible, and bacon. Wahoowa.
