Upcoming masterclasses featuring Dave Farley

2 Days: Continuous Delivery

Continuous Delivery is a complex holistic approach to software development and has a significant impact on the ways in which organisations operate.This approach demands a broad range of skills and techniques. This masterclass is designed to explore the deeper understanding of these ideas and techniques.

Increased efficiency and quality, and reduced risk in your software development process is the outcome you can expect of this Continuous Delivery masterclass.

Dave Farley takes an approach that will allow you to become more experimental and capable of reacting quickly and efficiently to change and allowing your software development process to become a tool that enables this flexibility rather than an impediment to it.

Who Will Benefit? The masterclass targets IT professionals who operates at advanced levels but still are hands-on-practitioners (Developers, Testers, Analysts, Operators). Anyone who works closely day-to-day on the production and release of software will benefit from participating.
