DevOps: 3-Day Workshop

Getting your products into the hands of your customers can be an intimidating aspect of software delivery and a large risk factor for your stakeholders. A culture of proper DevOps facilitated by the right infrastructure and tooling will help minimize risk with deployments. An Azure-based DevOps implementation will enable your development team to focus on features while allowing your Product Owner to manage when and what is released to your customers. Always Auditable and Always Shippable are the mantra, and an Azure DevOps solution is the path forward.
