When software delivery stalls or becomes brittle, we look at people and process to determine what went wrong. However, the feedback loops within your delivery pipeline are a potential goldmine for unblocking team velocity. Friction inside the pipeline like flaky tests and slow builds often lead to quick fixes and workarounds, causing feedback loops to drag.

As an engineering manager, addressing technological friction in your CI/CD pipelines is one of the most effective ways to restore your team’s confidence and flow.

In this panel discussion, we’ll go beyond standard best practices to explore the modern architectural aspects of software delivery that enable you to build a high-functioning pipeline that supports fast, reliable software delivery.

Key takeaways:

  • Identify the friction and bottlenecks manifesting in your pipeline, and how to fix them
  • Preventing common workarounds that are killing quality and productivity
  • How to blend the right mix of CI/CD tools that reduce friction and promote better
