Validating the Path Forward

Having the opportunity to preview builds is one of the cornerstones of the Windows Insider Program. We have discussed many aspects of how a build makes its way externally to Insiders, beginning with new code being written, continuing to the build “snap” (aka: compiling the build), to media availability, to flighting, and of course the feedback process that continues the cycle of development. Joining us this episode is Roger Johnson, Windows Software Engineer to talk about build validation and more.

Everything we thought we knew about work—where we do it, when we do it, how we do it—has been turned on its head. Where is it all going, and is there a map to get us there? WorkLab is a new podcast from Microsoft that taps into data and research to guide you on the road ahead. Leaders and scientists share the company’s findings, and we’ll hear stories about how people and organizations are being transformed at this radical moment. Join host Elise Hu as we tap into even more data and research to guide you on the road ahead. The first season we’ll be focusing on hybrid work, and how we can ensure that workplaces aren’t defined by where you gather, but by how you feel included. The show launches on September 8.
