TOPIC:
“Change Management and Your Bottom Line:
How You Can Deliver New Functionality for Your Business Faster and More Efficiently"

Whether you are a small IBM i IT shop or part of an enterprise-wide IT organization, change management is an essential foundation to advance software development practices.

CM tools do more than provide control, efficiency, transparency, and a safety net for today’s projects. They empower you to integrate with cross-platform Git initiatives, implement DevOps, orchestrate CI/CD pipelines, and adopt the latest application modernization strategies, while significantly reducing risk.

Join us as we look at the benefits of change management, discuss what it actually is, talk about best practices, and identify how shops are utilizing change management to deliver more than they ever thought possible for their businesses.

Learning Objectives:
    • Differentiate between source repositories and change management
            processes and how they work together.
    • Identify the benefits of change management for both small
            and large organizations.
    • Recognize how change management practices can help both new and
            experienced developers maintain efficiency and stability.
    • Learn about the critical role change management plays in effective
            DevOps and CI/CD pipelines.
