In 2010, Microsoft’s Developer Division began Visual Studio Online, the Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) offering based on Team Foundation Server.

This is the story of moving a traditional software business to SaaS, Cloud-First Development and Seven Habits of Effective DevOps:

• Team Autonomy and Enterprise Alignment
• Management of Technical Debt
• The Flow of Customer Value
• Hypothesis-Driven Development
• Evidence Gathered in Production
• Production-First Mindset
• Managing Infrastructure as a Flexible Resource

Underneath, the technologies included enterprise git, a modern release pipeline, automated testing, usage and performance monitoring, log analysis, a data-driven backlog, lean cycle metrics, and public cloud hosting.

In this session Sam Guckenheimer, (LinkedIn profile) Product Owner at Microsoft, will discuss the cultural transformation, experiences and practices, technical choices, metrics, and shows how you can apply them to start your journey.
