5 Keys to Building a Successful DevOps Culture

As the IT team at PureGym grew beyond 20, the strategy of using short-lived project teams with handovers to maintenance teams started to result in reduced productivity and lower morale caused by the complications of managing multiple projects and complex systems. Their approach to value delivery needed to change. Using the ideas described in Team Topologies, PureGym was able to communicate how and why working practices needed to adapt using the core concepts to give team members more ownership and autonomy whilst reducing their cognitive load. This presentation describes PureGym’s journey in the adoption of the Team Topologies principles and practices.

on 10 Dec 2019 as part of Global SKILup Day organised by DevOps Institute, I presented on topic "How to Avoid Cloud Confusion, DevOps dilemma, Microservice Madness" along with DevOps leaders, practitioners, authors and speakers. The presentation covers three major areas of today's trend: Cloud, DevOps, Microservices and I presented on some practical "How to" #DevOps session as an invited speaker.

DevOps: Hype or Hope

Tathagat Varma

In an age of disruption, increasingly complex and chaotic problems demand emergent or completely novel practices. Decades-old practices no longer work, raising difficult questions about the role of management in a world being disrupted by technology: How do we embrace diversity and inclusion for resilience without sacrificing efficiency or create psychological safety? Navigate external market forces and internal cultural changes? This session will go beyond Agile, DevOps, and Lean IT to share a novel perspective on your roles in in a rapidly changing technological landscape to help you build a future-proof organization.

How familiar does this scenario sound? Despite their best efforts, product managers are micro-managing too many features in development, meanwhile developers are waiting on designers. Support engineers aren't sure what shipped this week, and new features can't be released because tech writers weren't aware of them until they were nearly completed. The exec team is eager to learn how the last features are affecting new user uptake, but it's not up to expectations because marketing never understood who it was for, or why it was built. Join us for a peek behind-the-scenes at Atlassian. And learn how we juggle all of these efforts across the DevOps cycle, and validate features early and often—all while focusing on delivering real customer value.

DevOps is an emerging name for the collection of techniques we are adopting to meet this challenge and close the gap. While the DevOps movement is relatively young, many of its approaches are rooted in existing best practices. This presentation makes an argument for DevOps, and proposes a DevOps Infrastructure team to help implement tooling that brings Developers and Operations folks together. These slides are from a recorded webcast available here: http://www.urbancode.com/html/resources/webinars/DevOps_ITs_Automation_Revolution.html

Transportation, travel, finance... Almost every industry has been disrupted, or will be soon. Central to this wave of change is a new way to work that combines agile, DevOps, Lean Startup mentality, and constant experimentation. This enables small teams to be both bold and extremely effective, while learning and improving at a much faster rate than ever before.

The US medical device, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries have stringent regulatory norms to protect patients' safety and privacy. They are under constant pressure to provide innovative solutions for improved personal care while staying compliant with the ever-evolving regulatory landscape. But how do you bridge the gap between agile development for innovation and audit readiness for compliance? In this session, Sundar Selvatharasu and Andy Spoone of Sierra Labs will share how they use Jira both for engineering innovation and as a quality management system for compliance with GXP, GDPR, and HIPAA.

- We all know that we could implement DevOps a lot faster if we only would have commitment from our boss. We all know that there is a shiny business case for almost every DevOps implementation - And we all know that the whole company will reap the benefits regarding speed, agility and stability once we implemented DevOps. Actually, it provides good, fast and cheap at the same time. So, what are we waiting for? What is your boss waiting for? What is C-level waiting for? - That’s something we will do research on in this workshop. We will also share our research on this from the recent past. - The workshop starts with a presentation about 7 practices that a company should adopt to be able to apply DevOps. - The technique that we use is called Appreciative Inquiry. To tackle a problem, it discovers the best practices that work, the reason they work and how these combined practices can be used to avoid the problem ahead and create a strategic change. The aim is to build – or even rebuild – organizations around what works, rather than trying to fix what doesn’t. - So we want to know what your boss is afraid of and what you have already tried to convince him that he is better off with DevOps. You will leave the workshop with the combined Appreciative Inquiry insights of all the attendees

DevOps is a human problem and a leadership problem. Building a DevOps culture requires more than giving developers root, installing a configuration management tool, using a source code repository, and proclaiming ‘yes, we’re a DevOps shop.” At the end of the day all aspects of the people, process, technology continuums get impacted by DevOps. Patrick Lencioni’s "Five Dysfunctions of a Team–A Leadership Fable" is an outstanding business book that uses a model of 5 dysfunctions of a team that affect team performance. Patrick Lencioni’s "Five Dysfunctions of a Team–A Leadership Fable" is an outstanding business book that uses a model of 5 dysfunctions of a team that affect team performance. They are: 1. Absence of Trust 2. Fear of Conflict 3. Lack of Commitment 4. Avoidance of Accountability 5. Inattention to Results

Death to the DevOps Team! - how to avoid another silo Matthew Skelton, Skelton Thatcher Consulting Ltd. An increasing number of organisations - including many that follow Agile practices - have begun to adopt DevOps as a set of guidelines to help improve the speed and quality of software delivery. However, many of these organisations have created a new 'DevOps team' in order to tackle unfamiliar challenges such as infrastructure automation and automated deployments. Although a dedicated team for infrastructure-as-code can be a useful intermediate step towards greater Dev and Ops collaboration, a long-running 'DevOps team' risks becoming another silo, separating Dev and Ops on a potentially permanent basis. I will share my experiences of working with a variety of large organisations in different sectors (travel, gaming, leisure, finance, technology, and Government), helping them to adopt a DevOps approach whilst avoiding another team silo. We will see examples of activities, approaches, and ideas that have helped organisations to avoid a DevOps team silo, including: - DevOps Topologies: "Venn diagrams for great benefit DevOps strategy" - techniques for choosing tools (without fixating on features) - new flow exercises based on the Ball Point game - recruitment brainstorming - Empathy Snap, a new retrospective exercise well suited to DevOps This session will provide 'food for thought' when adopting and evolving DevOps within your own organisation.

What team structure is right for DevOps to flourish? It is useful to characterise a small number of different models for team structures, some of which suit certain organisations better than others. By exploring the strengths and weaknesses of these team structures (or 'topologies'), we can identify the team structure which might work best for DevOps practices in our own organisations. Update: see newer patterns at http://devopstopologies.com/ and the book Team Topologies at https://teamtopologies.com/book

What team configuration is right for DevOps to work? Devs doing Ops? Ops doing Dev? Everyone doing a bit of everything, or a special new silo doing Docker and Jenkins in the corner of the room? In this talk, Matthew Skelton and Rob Thatcher joins speculation with practical in-the-trenches experience to arrive at some working 'team topologies' for effective DevOps. Also involves audience participation. And hats :)
