Living the Dream - How You Can Lead Successful Change

Do you dream that your team moved faster, more carefully, slower, or differently? Do you ever sit and wonder if there can’t be a better way?

When Songkick reached the point of having code that was so difficult to work with and release processes that were so cautious they couldn’t release anything without weeks of fighting, they knew something had to change.

Deciding to make a change turned out to be the easy part.

Over the next 18 months, Amy and her team worked to transform our monolithic codebase into a Service-Oriented Architecture. They went from slow, signed-off-at-every-stage to fast, continuously deployed releases. As they embarked on their transformation, it became increasingly clear that changing technology is the easy part of bringing about change.

In this Masterclass, Amy will walk you through how they created a vision. The steps they took to bring the whole team into the plan and how they went about the 18-month-long journey to reach our dream state.
