DevOps In Regulated Industries

This includes those at the other end of the spectrum – where processes are very tightly controlled and regulation dictates a significant part of the business investment.

Drowning in technical debt

Are you drowning in technical debt?

Technical debt is the enemy of fast change – and of DevOps. It sometimes hides under the covers while new features are being delivered but, much like financial debt, it will never go away unless it is addressed directly.

This growing technical debt mountain will seriously affect your business ability.

Agile team

What makes the agile team tick

We’ve all heard the cliché: Agile teams are self-organised and self-managed.

However, if it’s that simple, why are organisations not consistently churning out self-managed teams delivering solutions in a smooth manner?
