Vertical Slicing and Branching


Description

This course teaches teams how to evolve a production system safely by delivering features through extremely small, deployable increments. Using Trunk-Based Development and the Elephant Carpaccio slicing technique, participants learn and practice breaking a feature into thin vertical slices that can be integrated continuously without disrupting production.
