"Chasing the Holy Grail with Release Management" - Danijel Malik

You can feel sweat dripping off your forehead before you go to production and there’s always a chance you’ll step on a broken board. Exciting, isn't it? Not really. It's time you start releasing your software with confidence and enjoy watching Indiana on TV rather than being in his shoes at 3 AM at work. Join me in this session and I will show you how easy it is to fully automate your deployment procedure using Release Management.
