March 2013 - Team Transformation for Continuous Delivery: Chris O'Dell, 7digital

Note: SkillsMatter are managing the registrations and waiting list for this event - http://skillsmatter.com/podcast/home/team-transformation-for-continuous-delivery

An essential part of Continuous Delivery is collaboration within and between teams. Jez Humble and David Farley believe that cross-functional teams are crucial for CD, because the complexity of the whole system and speed with which changes need to be made mean that the traditional silos of "Ops", "Release", "Dev", etc. are a barrier to effective software delivery.

7digital spent over 2 years transforming the way their staff worked with a 6-year-old software stack and delivery process, creating streamlined independent feature teams, and achieving Continuous Delivery across their application portfolio with 50 production deployments per week.

Chris O'Dell will share the secrets of how 7digital approached the team transformation necessary for Continuous Delivery, leading to a discussion on team transformation and organisational change.
