How do you apply changes to your codebase? When should we merge the JoeBranch?

At our yearly 1 week Zühlke web camp a couple of us took the opportunity to share experiences with branching and release techniques.

TL DR;

Focus on Continuous Integration
Every change that you have locally is a branch (a code version that is different than main)
Every kind of branching delays Continuous Integration
Only a healthy code base with a “green” Build + Automated Tests let you sleep like a baby at night.

How often do you release your product to your end users?
How often do your end users see and use your product?
Do you release in sync with your Sprint length, after the Sprint Review?
Is the Sprint Review meeting the only valid release point?
When do you plan your releases?

See how the cadence of Scrum and Continuous Integration can help you build the right thing, and when implemented properly, release it on time to ultimately deliver superior value to your customers.

Use Scrum + Continuous Delivery to build the right thing

The two topics “Scrum” and “Continuous Delivery” kept me very excited in the last years, which resulted in two presentations and a whitepaper for scrum.org.
