About Agile Web Development & Operations

We try hard to provide practical advice for rapidly delivering customer value.

Developing for the web and successfully running your sites requires both solid coding and in-depth operational know-how. No matter whether you come from an development or an system administration background, you need to be a master of both worlds: You need to live and breath Agile & DevOps.

We want to share with you both our successes and difficulties in improving our platforms and processes!

Having worked as both a developer and an operations manager, I’ve gotten all too familiar with the ever widening gap between what developers and customers consider “done”. In order to help narrow this, I’d like to share some of my ideas and experiences concerning the software development processes with a vision towards actually releasing what customers need.

Over the years, I’ve had many chances to work with developers from all over the world. Whether based locally or offshore, I’ve found that small, international teams create a highly compelling and intensely motivating work dynamic. I’m currently Director of Web Development for Nemetschek Allplan.

With your help, I’m looking forward to bridging the deployment gap!

It’s important to not only focus on building and refactoring your code but to constantly strive for improving your processes, your operations environment and your personal skills, too.

Here at Agile Web Development & Operations I write about tools and processes for DevOps, Kanban and Agile Software Development.

In my day job, I’m the tech lead for helpster, a German How To site run by gutefrage.net GmbH

Together, let’s make developing, maintaining, and operating web applications fun again.
