Join us for a unique opportunity to get an inside view on Vodafone's journey towards Agile transformation. You'll hear from some of the key people in Vodafone's digital change programme, that have had a dramatic impact on the speed and quality of deployments by adopting Agile principles.

Gain insight into how the business are working towards realising the vision of 'one hundred deployments a day' and the challenges across DevOps, Cloud deployments and Lean portfolio management.
