Sean Reilly (Equal Experts)
The most important users - agile development with operations in mind

Operations staff are arguably the most important users of your product. They’re the ones who turn it on.

Agile development has taken over the modern software development world, but it’s important to properly handle the way it interfaces with production operations. In this talk, we take a look at one effective way of managing the interaction of operational concerns with development, and as an example show how a traditional feature (logging) gets built designed and build completely differently when you look at it from this perspective.
