Managing teams in chaos

Tuesday, 1:30 PM EST - SEA SHORE/SEA WATCH

The cloud promises highly scalable infrastructure, economies of scale, lower costs and a more secure platform. When moving to the cloud, how do you take advantage of these new capabilities? How do you optimize your organization to make the best use of the resiliency and elasticity offered by the cloud?

Closely associated with cloud computing is Continuous Delivery, the automated process to get changes to your customers quickly, safely and in a sustainable way. Continuous Delivery was born in the cloud and is a great way to get ideas to your customers. There’s one catch, if you want to adopt a Continuous Delivery strategy, you need to build applications differently, your team structure needs to change and how you test and validate systems needs to adapt to these changes.

This presentation will look at how to transform your organization to take advantage of all the cloud has to offer. We’ll look at strategies for initiating your transition to the cloud, how to adopt a continuous delivery strategy, and how to manage cross-functional teams (sometimes called two-pizza teams) and projects when every team can deploy to production multiple times a day.

Managing teams in chaos will provide you the information needed to implement the two-pizza rule for your organization, enable your teams to work independently while still focusing on a common goal, and how to beat your competition to market.
