On the Release Train

The engineering team at Jive Software is growing fast (btw, we’re hiring!). I thought it might be interesting to talk about some of the engineering process changes we’re making to cope with that growth, especially since they directly affect product releases. First, a bit of history. We’ve always had a fairly agile development process — […]
