Continuous Delivery at 7digital

I was asked recently by our head of product whether I could do an introductory run through of our continuous integration/continuous deployment practices (including why on earth we have them), as part of a series of 101 sessions our devs have been holding for the benefit of our product and UX team.

I jumped at the challenge: since I'm still new to the tech team, it's something that I've been trying to straighten out in my head anyway. It ended up turning into an actual presentation, and I just held a session on it with members from product, UX, and client operations.

The full slides are below, but I especially enjoyed drawing a number of mental lines from certain recurring patterns to specific steps in our pipeline:

I actually ended the presentation on a mini quiz, to see whether everybody could recall what the difference / overlap was between continuous deployment, continuous delivery and continuous integration, since I remembered that these always turned into a mush in my mind before I joined dev - admirably, my temporary students did very well! :)
