Enter the ITSM assessment. You have to know where you are before you can accurately plan where you’d like to be – and an assessment can provide insight into both.

But how do we make those insights actionable? Join Beyond20 Senior Consultant, Andy Rivers (LinkedIn profile) and Brian Flora, and find out, as they take you through their three Actionable Benefits of an ITSM Assessment.

First-to-market has always been an important part of business — but what that means has evolved.

It’s no longer simply about producing that new cool item before the other guys. Now it also means you must be able to iterate quickly, adjust quickly for changing user tastes and adapt quickly.

To be able to do this and adapt quickly, you need to develop, deploy, react, troubleshoot and update quickly.

Pushing your code faster and faster means you have to be able to update and deploy infrastructure faster, which means infra/systems teams must be able to deploy faster, react faster, troubleshoot faster and fix faster.

In this training, Facebook Production Engineer Phil Dibowitz (LinkedIn profile) will discuss the dramatically accelerating cycle of getting features/products/release to users, and collecting and acting on user feedback.

Phil will cover what IT must do to make coded business a reality today, elements of scale, and the benefits of automation, no matter how large or complex your organization is.
