Feature branching is one of the most commonly accepted practices in the IT industry. It is mainly used to control quality and feature delivery. However, many times, the inverse is true. Branches break the flow of the IT delivery process, reducing both stability and throughput. Unfortunately, teams are often not aware of this. They truly think they are doing the right thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This session explores why teams are using feature branches, what problems are introduced by using them, and what techniques exist to avoid them altogether. It explores exactly what\u2019s evil about feature branches, which is not necessarily the problems they introduce \u2013 but rather the real reasons why teams are using them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the end of the session, you\u2019ll understand a different branching strategy, how it relates to Continuous Integration, and how it will predict better quality and higher delivery throughput.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
