Agile methodologies and processes have changed how PHP-based software projects are realized. This session gives an overview on how agility and quality can go hand-in-hand helping to deliver software on time and in budget. Agility does not stop at software development, though, but extends into other realms such as web operations. The audience will learn about some of the core ideas of DevOps, such as 'Dark Launches', 'Feature Flags' or 'Gradual Ramps' that help with implementing continuous deployment strategies.
