Dibbe Edwards - DevOps and Open Source at IBM

At the IBM DevOps Symposium I watched as Dibbe Edwards enthralled the audience as she explained how IBM has instituted DevOps and Agile throughout the development cycle. In some cases the results are nearly unbelievable, such as reducing Overall Time to Development from 120 days down to 3 days. I wanted to hear more about how she could create such startling results, so I gave her a call.
