Shipshape and Bristol Fashion ============================= Unless you're working by yourself on a throwaway program, delivering software requires more than simply writing some code and running a few tests. Software is only every done when it's decommissioned and the last user uninstalls it, until then it will be subject to continuous change as either the users find new and interesting problems to solve or the environment around it evolves. The only constant is change and the question is how do we do that safely? This segment looks at what it takes to go from "works on my machine" to "shipped". Along the way we'll look into why tools and automation are essential but, more importantly, why team communication sits at the heart of the problem.
