Five Imperatives for End-to-End Agility
David Worthington, Steve Brodie, Brett Adam and I just finished part I of the End-to-End Agility webinar. The focus of the webinar is on ultra-fast development, test and deployment through:
- Agile methods
- Virtual labs (i.e. development/test environments “in the cloud”)
- Virtual appliances
Slides and recordings from the webinar should be available in 48 hours. Until then, I will just mention the five imperatives identified in this webinar for accomplishing End-to-End Agility:
- Self service
- Scalability
- Collaboration
- Control
- Automation
Part II of this webinar series will be delivered in early April. It will emphasize the effects of hyper-productive Agile teams on operations.
