Agile DevOps: The Long, Ugly Story of How We Got Better Prior Year Content

Come hear the story of how a $300 million healthcare automation company used Agile and DevOps to turn around a struggling project for their next generation product suite. Told from the perspective of a developer turned test manager turned agile coach, Tommy Norman outlines the transition from a Scrum-But shop to a mature agile company, focused on customer value and product quality. Tommy details the issues they encountered, attempts to resolve them (with varying degrees of success and failure), and how eventually they took a project that had been limping along for two years to a project that was delivering to clients at the end of each sprint. Tommy covers all the bases from product ownership, development, quality assurance, automated testing, deployment automation, dealing with hardware, regulatory compliance, and more. If you want to hear a real world, practical adventure in agile DevOps that is not always pretty but has a happy ending, this is the session for you.
