Most enterprise software development has evolved to a place where releases are infrequent and occur long after features were first conceived. The day of release is a nail-biting affair for which we assemble swat teams and stand ready to scramble and fix the inevitable problems.
This has enormous impact on the businesses that we work for, making us vulnerable to nimble competitors. We are forced to predict (guess) what customers want rather than relying on real user feedback, we can't react to market changes or explore new business ideas quickly, and we end up not building the right thing for our users or at least investing too much money in something where a lighter solution would have sufficed.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Continuous Delivery practices are natural fit for organizations who want to manage risks in the delivery of IT services. If this contradicts what you may have been told during painful conversations with compliance teams, this session is for you. Joanne Molesky will explain how Continuous Delivery can reduce IT uncertainty and she will share an approach that will help convince auditors of the benefits of frequent release.
Joanne Molesky is currently ThoughtWorks' Global Practice Lead for Continuous Delivery. She holds CISA and CRISC certification with ISACA and has over 10 years experience in implementing controls for compliance and reducing risk in IT departments. She uses many frameworks and standards to help people understand the concepts and principles for IT controls. Although she has never been an accountant, she has worked on software delivery projects in highly regulated industries.
