In the May chat , Wayne Carrigan, Rational Deployment Architect, had shared the IBM Systems and Technology Group’s  (STG) Agile Transformation journey with us. As a follow up he did a podcast recently deep diving into how the small internal STG IT team that supports a diverse set of projects uses IBM Rational development tools to codevelop hardware and software. The integrations between these tools allow them to leverage scarce resources and still get the job done in a very efficient manner.   He is also, co-presenting a webcast... [More]
