Do your software projects stumble over the deployment hurdle? If so, you are not alone. Many software projects struggle to achieve consistent deployment across their environments—from test, UAT, staging, and on to production. Poor deployments can squander many of the gains made by agile development.

Successful deployments must account for differences between environments, coordinate development teams and environment owners, balance schedule pressures, and create the requisite audit trail. When these challenges are compounded by error prone, inconsistent, and inefficient manual processes, achieving fast and reliable deployments may seem impossible. The cost of this struggle is lost time, late-breaking defects, and uncertainty.

The good news is that you don't need to choose between a careful, rigorous approach and a speedy but slapdash one. It is possible to implement a solution that provides consistency and audit trails while improving productivity for your release engineers, operations personnel, and testers. Consider automating your deployments to boost agility and profitability.

In this web seminar, we go beyond the whys of consistent automated deployments and examine best practices, helpful tools, and common pitfalls encountered when seeking consistent deployments across environments.

Join us and you will also learn about:

The downside of manual deployments
Cultural barriers to overcome when improving deployment processes
Self-service deployments
