QCon is a practitioner-driven conference designed for technical team leads, architects, and project managers who influence software innovation in their teams.

Presentation: "The process, Technology & Practice of Continuous Delivery"

Track: Real Agile Delivery with DevOps / Time: Wednesday 14:30 - 15:20 / Location: Churchill Auditorium

Continuous Delivery is about more than technology, it is about collaboration. It relies on the establishment of effective feedback loops across the organisation, particularly at that crucial interface between development and operations.
This talk introduces the ideas of Continuous Delivery as a practical everyday, holistic process, using some of the techniques and technologies from a real world project as an example.
