Presented by: CollabNet

DevOps is emerging as a powerful way for enterprises to accelerate and streamline the delivery of quality software into production.

Join Kurt Bittner (LinkedIn profile),Laurence Sweeney andKevin Hancock for this two hour, two-part webinar series, where they will examine both the business and technical aspects of the fast emerging DevOps practice.

Part 1 : DevOps Management- Enabling the Continuous Delivery of Business Value (1st Hour)

Business competitiveness increasingly depends on the ability to deliver business value quickly.

Driven by experiences with mobile and cloud-based solutions, customers increasingly expect all solutions to deliver rapidly. Customer loyalty is often maintained only until your competitors deliver something better.

Faster delivery is not a fantasy.

It requires breaking down barriers between Development and Operations to form a new DevOps partnership, and forging a new partnership with the Business.

It means re-thinking the way you approach ensuring quality, and it requires streamlining your delivery pipeline while automating repetitive tasks. The result is faster delivery, as well as improved customer satisfaction, increased quality and dramatically reduced cost.

Kurt Bittner, and CollabNet DevOps Practice Leads as they discuss the Continuous Delivery trends, who’s adopting it, why, and best practices for highly successful DevOps.

Part 2 : Making DevOps Real (2nd hour)

Faster delivery, higher quality, elevated productivity – it all sounds good, but is it realistic? The answer is “yes”.

Companies around the world are adopting practices and technologies that enable DevOps, helping to make the vision a reality.

As a second part of the session, CollabNet will do a technical deep dive into two proven solutions that deliver on the promise of DevOps. They will deliver comprehensive demonstrations of both, one leveraging CollabNet’s partnership with Automic and the other leveraging CollabNet’s partnership with OpsCode.

Participants will gain an appreciation of the advantages of different approaches, and will have a better idea of what might work for their own environment.

Topics Covered:

• Workflow and Technical Architecture
• Collabnet TeamForge + Automic ARA for DevOps with enterprise release automation
• CollabNet TeamForge + OpsCode Chef for DevOps with Continuous Integration and Delivery

Who should attend: This webinar is for everyone who automates software delivery, and the technical content is appropriate for software architects, quality managers and software configuration managers. Prior familiarity with the concepts of Agile development and Continuous Integration is helpful, although not absolutely required.
