"Applying Agile to Infrastructure"
Presented by Steve Kraus, Sr. Principal and Business Architect, Daugherty Business Solutions
The Agile Forum meetings offer an opportunity for professional networking and knowledge sharing with other agile practitioners as well as provide a learning environment for professionals interested in learning about agile techniques. Everyone is welcome to participate.
Presentation
As the Agile mantra continues to spread, it is moving within IT beyond Development to impact Operations (in part, through DevOps) as well as Infrastructure – the collection of hardware, software, networks, and related equipment that forms the foundation of the technology services the organization provides to its
internal and external customers. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss how Agile – and particularly the application of Kanban – is making a difference in terms of improving the business impact of the infrastructure team on the organization.
