American Airlines Tech [un]Conference 2022 We have a small, scrappy group of folks in our Product Agility space that help drive our Delivery Transformation efforts. The transformation work itself is federated out to passionate teams; however, the coordination of that transformation effort and other organizational change efforts flow through our Product Agility team.
The story is all too familiar. Your team is releasing their software tonight. It’s a new feature that everyone’s been waiting for. You feel good (as good as you ever do on the night of a release), and it’s been a long time coming. This new feature has been through more than enough cycles of QA, and people on the team are ready to get this thing into production.
The legacy challenge… Legacy mainframe applications are usually excluded when it comes to DevOps transformation. After all, it’s a daunting task to modernize millions of lines of code written in the 1970s to the present day while the system is still monolithic. Avoiding these applications, though, can significantly hamper the effectiveness of overall IT delivery efficiency.
