#139: Automation - the higher value work side-effect

#139: Automation - the higher value work side-effect

I've talked many times about the productivity benefits from automation.

In this episode, I talk about the higher value benefits we get from automation - something you could describe as a side-effect.

Automation gives us productivity - but not just to do more, but to do better. Automation gives us the opportunity to elevate the work carried out by our teams - ultimately leading to better, cheaper, more reliable, more secure software.

I look at common automation techniques and how they helps to free up our teams:

  • Automated Testing
  • Continuous Integration, Deployment & Delivery
  • Infrastructure-as-Code
