Episode 42: Governance vs developer freedom: The balancing act With Anders Wallgren

For tech leaders heavily involved in the software development and deployment processes, ranging from embedded software to more user-facing applications, you'll love this.

Anders Wallgren, the Vice President of Technology Strategy at CloudBees joined us to share a few things. Nope! Correction. Shared LOADS of things about the benefit and importance of having a smooth end-to-end development process. Being a software developer in the past (I'm a geek that managed to de-geek), I know the pains and benefits of getting this right. The investment in automation and auditing-as-you-go saves many headaches and Kerr-chings (money) over and over again. The system that Anders and CloudBees have created is just awesome. Especially for high compliance industries.

Key takeaways from the podcast are:

• How automation can become your implicit auditing

• How tech leaders can enable companies to balance governance and developer freedom with a win/win scenario

• The benefits of taking two steps back to make huge leaps forward in the efficiency of your value delivery
