Session description
Change is hard! Especially when a service team is asking hundreds of individuals and departments to totally reconfigure how they’re adding, updating and maintaining content on their websites—all while transforming their own processes, workflows and underlying infrastructure and technologies. That's exactly what happened to us during our OpenText to WordPress migration.
We will walk through our journey, highlight accomplishments and share lessons learned and how we continue to modify our processes with agile methodologies.
What attendees can hope to learn:
- How important clear communication and thoughtful planning are in any sort of change.
- Strategies to incorporate change into your workflow processes.
- Continuous integration isn’t just a development thing.
