The document summarizes key findings from a 2012 survey on DevOps practices conducted by Puppet Labs, Gene Kim, and Jez Humble. The survey had over 4000 responses and aimed to understand the link between DevOps behaviors and performance. Key findings included that high performing DevOps teams deployed code much more frequently (30x more), had significantly shorter lead times for changes (8000x shorter), and were more reliable with fewer failed changes and faster mean time to restore service. Technical practices like infrastructure automation and version control correlated strongly with better performance. Organizations that adopted DevOps practices over 12 months prior performed significantly better. The document also discusses challenges in measuring culture and psychographics in DevOps.

2019 12 Clojure/conj: Love Letter To Clojure, and A Datomic Experience ReportGene Kim
Talk video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mbp3SEha38&t=1652s
Blog post: https://itrevolution.com/love-letter-to-clojure-part-1
I will explain how learning the Clojure programming language three years ago changed my life. It led to a series of revelations about all the invisible structures that are required to enable developers to be productive. These concepts show up all over The Unicorn Project, but most prominently in the First Ideal of Locality and Simplicity, and how it can lead to the Second Ideal of Focus, Flow, and Joy.
Without doubt, Clojure was one of the most difficult things I’ve learned professionally, but it has also been one of the most rewarding. It brought the joy of programming back into my life. For the first time in my career, as I’m nearing fifty years old, I’m finally able to write programs that do what I want them to do, and am able to build upon them for years without them collapsing like a house of cards, as has been my normal experience.
The famous French philosopher Claude Lévi-Strauss would say of certain tools, “Is it good to think with?” For reasons that I will try to explain in this post, Clojure embraces a set of design principles and sensibilities that were new to me: functional programming, immutability, an astonishingly strong sense of conservative minimalism (e.g., hardly any breaking changes in ten years!), and much more…
Clojure introduced to me a far better set of tools to think with and to also build with. It’s also led to a set of aha moments that explain why for decades my code would eventually fall apart, becoming more and more difficult to change, as if collapsing under its own weight. Learning Clojure taught me how to prevent myself from constantly self-sabotaging my code in this way.
Keeping The Auditor Away: DevOps Audit Compliance Case StudiesGene Kim
GenOrganizations and development teams are moving beyond waterfall models to those embracing a continuous delivery/DevOps-style set of processes. The deployment of doing tens, hundreds, or even thousands of deploys per day as 'normal' does not align to the SDLC, separation of duties, and common controls expected by auditors.
In this presentation, we will describe what auditors look for in a compliance audit, how to develop alternate control procedures that fulfill those reporting requirements, how to avoid “red flags” that indicate inadequate controls, and real world case studies and reporting artifacts.
Gene Kim has been studying high performing IT organizations since 1999 and helped develop the SOX scoping guidelines with the Institute of Internal Auditors in 2005. James DeLuccia IV is the leader for the Ernst & Young Americas Certification Services, James oversees all of the audits against common industry standards, and champions several global program implementation roll-outs. Developing and 'translating' the control environment behaviors of clients, such as Google, Amazon, Workday, and others is difficult. This discussion will bridge the needs of auditors with the community of developers by sharing examples, discussing the assurance expectations, and how to communicate to pass an audit.

The Unicorn Project and The Five Ideals (Updated Dec 2019)Gene Kim
It is impossible to overstate how much I’ve learned since co-authoring The Phoenix Project, DevOps Handbook, and Accelerate. I’m so excited that after years of work, The Unicorn Project will be published later this year.
This book is my attempt to frame what I’ve learned studying technology leaders adopting DevOps principles and patterns in large, complex organizations, often having to fight deeply entrenched orthodoxies. And yet, despite huge obstacles, they create incredibly effective and innovative teams that create beacons of greatness that inspire us all.
In this book, we follow a senior lead developer and architect as she is exiled to the Phoenix Project, to the horror of her friends and colleagues, as punishment for contributing to a payroll outage. She tries to survive in what feels like a heartless and uncaring bureaucracy, forced to work within a system where no one can get anything done without endless committees, paperwork, change requests, and approvals. Decades of technical debt make even small changes difficult or impossible, often causing catastrophic outcomes and fear of punishment.
I get tremendous delight and gratification that this book is not about the bridge crew of the Starship Enterprise -- instead, it is about redshirt engineers, which as it turns out, whose heroic work matters most to the long-term survival of almost every organization.
In my previous books, I’ve focused on principles and practices (e.g., Three Ways, Four Types of Work). However, I’ve always wanted to describe the spectrum of cultural, experiential and value decisions we make that either enable greatness, or create chronic suffering and underperformance. They are currently as follows:
• The First Ideal — Locality and Simplicity
• The Second Ideal — Focus, Flow and Joy
• The Third Ideal — Improvement of Daily Work
• The Fourth Ideal — Psychological Safety
• The Fifth Ideal — Customer Focus
In this talk, I’ll share with you my goals and aspirations for The Unicorn Project, describe in detail the Five Ideals, along with my favorite case studies of both ideal and non-ideal, and why I believe more than ever that DevOps will be one of the most potent economic forces for decades to come.

CA John Michelsen - Oracle OpenWorld 2012 - "ServiceVirtualization Reality is...ServiceVirtualization.Com
CA CTO, inventor of SV and author John Michelsen's presentation at Oracle OpenWorld #OOW 2012. To truly achieve Agile development, enterprises need a "virtual world" to avoid constraints in software development. Service Virtualization is a new technology and practice of simulating and modeling any service or system dependency needed by teams throughout development, integration, functional and performance testing activities. Other industries from avionics to pharma already understand the power of simulation and virtual "wind tunnels" throughout design and development, and now it's time for software and IT innovation to follow this route to more consistent quality and innovation speed with SV.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love DevOps (March 2014)bridgetkromhout
This 20-minute talk was given by Bridget Kromhout twice in March 2014:
March 12: http://www.meetup.com/DevOps-Minneapolis/events/168426002/
March 19th: http://mtnwestdevops.org/2014/sessions (video forthcoming)
Abstract: I was a college-student BOFH, an ISP sysadmin, and an academic IT manager. If I wanted a curmudgeonly sysadmin, I could just look in a mirror. Most developers were unlikely to be granted root on any systems whatsoever, and servers were carefully hand-whittled works of art. You know, The Way Things Were.
Moving to a role doing operations at a developer-centric startup was both a culture shock and a great learning experience. I’ll discuss what worked for me (and what was challenging!) in terms of my transition to a DevOps practice. Spoiler alert: change is scary, but awesome developers on the team make it much easier for an old-school sysadmin to be assimilated into the DevOps of Borg.
A comprehensive review of OpenStack then and now, each project's architecture, and hard data on why the race for open cloud is over. (First edition delivered April 2013 at OpenStack Summit. This version is from SPDEcon on June 10, 2013.)
Matt Callanan takes the 15 chapters of the famous "Continuous Delivery" book by Jez Humble & Dave Farey and distills it down into 1 hour of convincing arguments, walking through the pieces involved to make it happen including cultural challenges, automated testing, automated deployment & deployment pipelines. Not sure how to get started with DevOps? Finding it hard to convince colleagues & managers that CD is the way forward? Matt has used this presentation to help facilitate enterprise-wide adoption of Continuous Delivery. Slides from a presentation given at DevOps Brisbane March 2014.

Презентация на тему "What is DevOps?" на встрече группы “DevOps Hub. IT Service Management”. Докладчик: Андрей Рыбальченко.
For years, there have been stories of continuous delivery making teams awesome… but can CD make all teams awesome? And how? Dr. Nicole Forsgren will present data from over 20,000 technical professionals showing the central role that CD plays in software development and delivery. She will show you how doing CD can drive key organizational outcomes like profitability, productivity, and market share. Nicole also presents the key aspects of CD that make your DevOps awesome, like trunk-based development, test data, and test automation, and provides examples of success from teams undergoing their own technology transformations. The presentation also includes other important drivers of DevOps success, like lean product management and team culture. At the end of this talk, you will have the information to help you prove your case (to management or even yourself) about why CD and DevOps are essential to winning, as well as great stories and examples to really bring these concepts to life. You’ll leave with tips you can take back to get started on your own DevOps initiative.
Building and Scaling High Performing Technology Organizations by Jez Humble a...Agile India
High performing organizations don't trade off quality, throughput, and reliability: they work to improve all of these and use their software delivery capability to drive organizational performance. In this talk, Jez presents the results from DevOps Research and Assessment's five-year research program, including how continuous delivery and good architecture produce higher software delivery performance, and how to measure culture and its impact on IT and organizational culture. They explain the importance of knowing how (and what) to measure so you focus on what’s important and communicate progress to peers, leaders, and stakeholders. Great outcomes don’t realize themselves, after all, and having the right metrics gives us the data we need to keep getting better at building, delivering, and operating software systems.

DevOps is everywhere, but too often, people think they can buy “DevOps in a box” and just sprinkle some tools and automation over your broken or slow (or even super-fast AWS) stack. But we all know that software delivery is still hard. So what is this crazy DevOps thing, and why and how does it make things better? In this session, Jez and Nicole talk about what they’ve found working with dozens of organizations and conducting the largest DevOps research studies to date, covering over 23,000 data points across 2,000 organizations around the world. We start with the outcomes that companies care about: organizational performance, software delivery performance, and software quality. We then define what DevOps is, how you measure it, and how the best, most innovative teams and organizations are using it to drive improvements in performance and quality.
DevOps by the Numbers - How to Approach the Measurement and Metrics of Your C...XebiaLabs
There’s no mistaking how important initiatives like DevOps and Continuous Delivery have become to organizations seeking to gain a competitive edge. But without the right metrics, enterprises that have adopted DevOps or Continuous Delivery strategies have no way of measuring their effectiveness in the context of their digital transformation goals. So what are the right measures that can answer questions like “are we getting better at delivering high-quality software faster and at scale?” and “has all this effort been worth it?!”
Learn ways to better measure the processes and output of your DevOps and Continuous Delivery transformation.
You'll also learn:
How to identify the best metrics for various stakeholders in your software development lifecycle
How to measure and demonstrate the business value and effectiveness of DevOps and Continuous Delivery processes and programs
How to address some of the challenges along your process that these metrics and KPI's may reveal

Why Everyone Needs DevOps Now: 15 Year Study Of High Performing Technology OrgsGene Kim
This presentation describes my interpretation of the Why and How of DevOps, and the key findings from my 15 year study of high-performing IT organizations, and how they simultaneously deliver stellar service levels and rapid implementation of new features into the production environment.
Organizations employing DevOps practices such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, Etsy and Twitter are routinely deploying code into production hundreds, or even thousands, of times per day, while providing world-class availability, reliability and security. In contrast, most organizations struggle to do releases more every nine months.
He will present how these high-performing organizations achieve this fast flow of work through Product Management and Development, through QA and Infosec, and into IT Operations. By doing so, other organizations can now replicate the extraordinary culture and outcomes enabling their organization to win in the marketplace.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

10. Visible Ops: Playbook of High Performers
• The IT Process Institute
has been studying high-
performing organizations
since 1999
• What is common to all the
high performers?
• What is different between
them and average and low
performers?
• How did they become great?

13. Lesson:
You are only as smart as the
average
of the top 5 people you hang out with

14. 2012 DevOps Survey
• Written by Puppet Labs, Gene Kim, and Jez Humble
• Ran through December of 2012
• Goal: Get a snapshot of the current state of the health
and habits of the DevOps community
15. How To Do A Cross Section Population Study
• Survey
design
• Survey
execu0on
• Survey
analysis
16. The Vision: DevOps Survey Of Practice II
• Performance
• Behaviors
• Demographics
• Psychographics
• Planned
target
was
30
ques0ons
• We
asked
for
a
budget
of
8
ques0ons
16
17. Survey Design
In
the
ideal,
we
want
to
be
able
to
say,
“the
more
you
do
[A,
B,
C],
the
more
performance
improves”
X axis: independent variables
DevOps behaviors hypothesized to improve performance
Y axis: dependent variables
DevOps performance measures
18. Y-Axis: What Performance Looks Like
• How
ofen
do
you
deploy
code?
(e.g.,
daily,
weekly,
monthly,
yearly)
• What
is
the
average
lead
0me
of
a
change?
(i.e.,
how
long
does
it
take
to
go
from
“code
commihed”
to
“code
successfully
running
in
produc0on?”)
• What
percentage
of
your
changes
require
rollbacks
or
hoiixes?
• On
average,
how
long
does
it
take
to
restore
service
when
something
goes
wrong?
(e.g.,
a
day,
a
week,
a
month,
a
year)
18
19. X-Axis: What Behaviors Result In Performance
• Are
environment
and
infrastructure
changes
(i.e.,
everything
except
for
code)
checked
into
revision
control?
• Is
there
an
automated
process
to
deploy
environment
and
infrastructure
changes?
• Who
performs
code
deployments?
(e.g.,
Dev,
Ops,
both)
• Who
is
on
the
hook
for
produc0on
support
(e.g.,
Dev,
Ops,
both)
19
20. Next Step: Survey Execution
• Once
the
survey
instrument
is
ready,
then
you
need
people
to
take
the
survey
• Michelle
Carroll
and
the
Puppet
Labs
marke0ng
machine
went
to
work
• Mailing
lists
• Twiher
• Reddit
22. The Results
• 4039
completed
survey
responses
in
30
days!!!
• This
is
amazing.
With
a
primary
research
firm,
this
type
of
popula0on
size
usually
would
cost
$100-‐200K!

clean
up
data
and
compensate
for
“Gene
screwup”
• Used
R
to
do
analysis
• Look
for
signal
• Explore
data
• Run
correla0ons
30. High Performing DevOps Teams
• They’re
more
agile
• 30x
more
frequent
deployments
• 8,000x
shorter
lead
0me
(minutes/hours
vs.
months/quarters)
• They’re
more
reliable
• 2x
the
change
success
rate
• 12x
faster

32. Deliberate Practice Matters
Organizations that implemented DevOps practices over 12
months ago were 5x more likely to be high performing than
organizations that weren’t implementing DevOps at all.
33. The Lost Hypotheses *
o Who performs code deployments?
o Who is on the hook for production support?
34. Measuring Culture
“I’ll tell you EXACTLY what devops means.
Devops means giving a shit about your job enough to not pass
the buck. Devops means giving a shit about your job enough to
want to learn all the parts and not just your little world.
Developers need to understand infrastructure. Operations
people need to understand code. People need to fucking work
with each other and not just occupy space next to each other.”

people
41. The tribe is operationally strong
This
is
not
a
Dev
takeover
42. The tribe is enterprise too!
26%

43. Overcoming barriers to DevOps adoption
Biggest barriers were cultural
• Lack of manager buy-in
• Lack of team buy-in
• Value of DevOps not understood outside my
group
44. What are organizations looking for in DevOps skills?
• Coding/scripting (84%)
• People skills (60%)
• Process re-engineering skills (56%)
• Experience with specific tools (19%)
46. Preparing For DevOps Survey 2013-2014
• How
do
we
measure
culture?
• High
management
vs.
low
trust
management
styles
(and
link
to
team
size)
• Industry
code
• Beher
define
performance
variables
to
enable
regression
analysis
(Likert-‐type
scale)
• Business
cri0cality:
system
of
engagement
vs.
system
of
record
• What
else?
We
want
to
hear
your
thoughts!
