Bridging the DevOps Divide - How to Bring in the Mainframe

Large organizations will have mainframe applications. While DevOps may be very mature on the distributed side, it is often overlooked for the mainframe applications. This can cause unnecessary issues with development timeframes and deliveries. As the applications depend on each other, so do the teams, yet they are often running isolated parallel development. The solution is to bring the mainframe applications, and developers into DevOps. But how? I will describe how this has been successfully done at many sites focusing on a practical 10 step approach. Attendees will leave with a knowledge of why bringing in the mainframe is important, why it hasn't been done in the past and most importantly how it can be done at their site.
