Agenda
Maximize value through continuous delivery
Continuous delivery maximizes the impact of your product development on value creation by allowing changes to be released at any time. We will look at continuous, incremental and progressive delivery and discuss how they affect the flow of value. These principles enable continuous learning and growth and promote value maximization.
Overcoming continuous delivery challenges
Continuous delivery brings challenges such as technology, legacy systems, people and processes. We will cover theories such as the Theory of Constraints and Queuing Theory and how to manage congestion. A Just-In-Time (JIT) approach helps reduce bottlenecks and optimize workloads.
Forecasting and preparing for continuous delivery
Effective forecasting is critical for continuous delivery. We cover tools such as Monte Carlo simulations and burn-up charts and define “Ready” and “Done” for each development stage. Topics such as backlog management, prioritization and dealing with technical debt, dependencies and impediments are also discussed.
Adaptive planning and continuous delivery in practice
Adaptive planning is crucial in dynamic environments. We discuss collaborative planning, capacity management, and metrics like velocity to set realistic goals. Strategies for dealing with emerging dependencies and bottlenecks are presented. Finally, we introduce frameworks like Scrum and XP that support continuous and adaptive processes.
Conclusion and reflection
Finally, we will summarize the most important points of the training. You will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have and we will discuss how you can implement what you have learned in your company. Finally, we will have a short feedback session to see if everything went well and then we will say goodbye.
