When Agile, DevOps and Lean Are Not Enough By @BettyZakheim | @DevOpsSummit #DevOps

Lean, Agile and DevOps principles have improved software delivery in many important ways. As evolving markets compel software organizations to increase quality and productivity, interest in these concepts has never been higher.
