Another exciting week in Digital Towers has flown by, but this one saw some good forward-looking work.

Kicking the week off, Ross wrote about our new delivery principles and took both these and our long-term plan of work to our colleagues in Computing Services to see how we can collaborate to improve overall product delivery.

In a similar vein, Tom Natt's been working directly with Computing Services to upgrade segments of our application hosting and deployment infrastructure to make sure that our stack is at the latest versions, and that we're not wasting effort by duplicating work that can be done by our tools. This has meant some simplification of our software build process by using Bamboo more effectively.

A big chunk of this week for Ross, Rich and Miles has been interviewing for the three vacant posts in our content team, and we're hopeful that we'll soon have the problem of working out where they can sit!

There were some serious IT problems this week, but despite this, the support requests just kept on coming, with Chris dealing with 77 different requests since Monday, and getting 73 of them resolved whilst all the time making sure that our CMS training courses are up to date.

Thanks to hard work by Tom Trentham and Kelv over the past fortnight we're close to having a version of our CMS template which is responsive - hopefully you'll hear more about that next week, but whilst you're waiting, you should definitely read Miles' new research feature on how DC electricity could help strengthen India's power network.
