How many times have you heard a business sponsor ask ‘why can’t you guys deliver software as fast as Google or Facebook or Angry Birds?’ The reality of most organizations is that software development never delivers as fast as the business and for many there is a major difference between their delivery speed and that of the poster children of Silicon Valley. But can that difference in speed and ability to innovate be only attributable to a clear focus on software delivery and the skill and capability of their staff or is there something else that good engineering companies bring to the table? In this talk Dave West, Chief Product Officer and former Forrester analyst describes how modern software organizations connect up their lifecycle and integrate their end to end process. And how, driven by DevOps, Lean Startup and Agile thinking software delivery can be continuous rather than fragmented by silo tools, process and practices. This talk will describe how Lean Thinking can transform your delivery organization not only in terms of the software delivery team but also the PMO and your service desk.
