This is a question a lot of organizations are asking themselves today. The rest
of the organization is using Git, why not the mainframe. What better way than to
interview a Git practitioner, someone who can answer these questions. During
this interview some tough questions will be asked by a highly critical mainframe
lead developer that doesn't want to upend his life. He has many arguments he
thinks that will disqualify git that he is ready to launch a series of leading
'questions' to be proven right. The surprising outcome of this interview is that
Git has real benefits that can be introduced when an application team is
'ready'. At this session you will see: • What moving to Git is and what it is
not • The list of recommended pre-requisites • What a Git world on the mainframe
could and should look like
