summary
A Windows‑centric enterprise adopts a minimum viable process and focuses on measurable wins: 0 to 250 artifacts goal becomes a concrete target and hits 500 then 700 artifacts within a year. Automation uses PowerShell + TFS + VMware + Chef to script provisioning, domain join, bootstrap configuration and version every server artifact. Kanban and simple metrics visualize flow, book clubs and podcasts build curiosity, and brownfielding extracts vSphere data to generate versioned configs so the approach actually works.
