19. Summary
An assembly line is a mandatory component in any devops
transformation
- Establish single sources of truth
- Enable end-to-end agility
- Track and drive
A flexible and constantly evolving centralized platform provides
many benefits over project specific assembly lines
Plan carefully where to focus your own resources and what to buy
from outside
