Hi Jeffro,

I'm with you - although larger companies often have a culture of extensively testing each update.

They have dev, test and production servers and promote changes through these, following through an extensive test plan. Oh and they can't just do this, they have to take the change to the Change Advisory Board for approval (which may take a couple of weeks), create the test plan, the roll back plan, let all the stakeholders know of the work and the potential outage, co-ordinate the update so there is zero chance of the site going down when something major is happening on the website, etc.

And yeah, they need to do all this for a 1 click, 10 second update. So they love a stable product that doesn't change much.

Thankfully a lot of these companies are realising that they need to change, but that's the traditional enterprise IT mindset.

Hmm, that's all going into my WordPress and Government talk at WordCamp Gold Coast...
