Is anyone out there attempting or has implemented the framework to support
Continuous Release and can you share the challenges/successes your organization
has and is experiencing.
I work for a Web 2.0 start-up (our architecture is also moving to cloud) and we
practice SCRUM with 3 week sprints. We are seriously thinking about moving to
this framework so we can release quickly and more efficiently.
I realize this is a very broad question and opens up a whole host of questions.
I am looking to see who is also doing this and how successfully.
