Enterprise transformation (and you can too)

on YouTube ↗32m

" summary

Microsoft’s VSTS moves from a three‑year waterfall cadence to three-week iterations by shifting to cloud-hosted VSTS, co‑located 10–12 person feature teams, and automated pipelines that self-update every three weeks. Engineering changes include write it run it on‑call ownership, a bug‑mark policy (≈1 bug/engineer/week threshold), ringed deployments, 70,000 unit tests running in under 10 minutes, GVFS for a 350TB monorepo, and small autonomous teams aligned on a three‑week release boundary.
