The Software Delivery Leadership Forum (SDLF) is a series of open, online and interactive discussions focused on topics related to Agile, DevOps and Continuous Delivery. On Episode 1, we’ll discuss The Humans of DevOps. Our featured speaker will kick us off with a thirty minute presentation to review their recently published Upskilling research report, and the implications the data has on hiring, managing, and growing high performing teams.
This will be followed by a live moderated forum discussion. Audience questions will be fielded by an expanded panel of thought leaders and practitioners, each of whom bring their own unique perspective and insights to the discussion.
