11:30 AM Leveraging DevOps to Bring Product Design Closer to Technology and Digitally Transform the Organisation
1.5 years ago Vector embarked on a bold digital transformation agenda. Introducing DevOps at Vector is a means to overhauling IT, enhancing agility within the business and ultimately enable the business to evolve at a time when the energy sector is being heavily disturbed. In January Vector passed a significant milestone; going live with the first system that will be fully maintained by the people that built it. In this session, the company’s first DevOps practitioner and Digital Architect, Rob, will share the biggest challenges and how they’ve headway into overcoming these:
- Hiring developers and training them in- house to test to build a strong test driven development culture
- Managing existing vendor contractual arrangements which were antiquated with DevOps practice by bringing vendors along on the DevOps journey and leveraging automated testing to keep vendors accountable
- Ensuring quality of products was high through navigating shortages in product owners, creating truly cross functional teams and defining business criteria
