We need to stop thinking about pipelines purely as technical construct. They are much more than that. Fundamentally, pipelines reflect the underlying culture of organisations and how people work.
Behind pipelines there are people. When we change pipelines we change how people work and interact with each other.
This talk is based on what we learned, helping a large government organisation adopt continuous delivery practices. I’ll cover how we navigated the maze of changing how software is delivered.
We’ll look at;
- A view of delivery pipelines as information conduits
- The different strategies we used to support people to adopt new ways of working
- How to make change adoption less painful
- The risks of blindly introducing pipelines as a technology solution
Seems pretty solid already. Not much more to say.
