Speaker: Mladen Milev, Engineering Manager

In this talk we will dive into the challenges a global telecom equipment provider encountered in their own R&D and operations divisions while embracing DevOps principles. We will follow-up on a project and its evolution from outsourced software developed under waterfall release cycle into an in-house developed agile and rapid release cycle project, bringing close development, tests and operation/customer.
