  • Minimum CD, Maximum Impact: Reducing Delivery Friction with Bryan Finster
    Dec 17 2025

    In this episode of Rollback Café, we host Bryan Finster co-author of MinimumCD.org, seasoned Continuous Delivery practitioner, and enterprise transformation leader, for a grounded, experience-driven conversation on what truly matters in modern software delivery.

    Moving beyond tools and process theater, Bryan shares practical insights on defining the minimum bar for Continuous Delivery, identifying “SAD DevOps” anti-patterns, and systematically reducing the friction that slows teams down. Drawing from real-world experiences across large-scale and constrained environments, this session focuses on outcomes that improve delivery safety, developer experience, and organizational trust without over-engineering or dogma.
