We don't always think of it this way, but your metrics *are* your culture... Your metrics shape behavior and incentives, which really is the heart of culture.
Four years and over 20,000 respondents later, and we have learned a lot about what makes IT and organizational performance awesome. This year we include insights into security, containers, trunk-based development, and lean product management. Tune in for practical take-aways to make your teams' technology transformations even better.
We all know the CAMS model of DevOps: Culture, Automation, Measurement, and Sharing… what if Measurement is the secret ingredient to awesome DevOps?
The most innovative organizations use metrics to measure the right things so they can make their DevOps awesome. You want to measure the right things, too - but where should you start? You need to know what you want to measure, what not to measure, and what to watch out for. Because the secret is that metrics shape your culture - and Nicole will show you how.
Are We There Yet? Signposts On Your Journey to AwesomeNicole Forsgren
If you listen to grandiose tales of DevOps journeys, everything is awesome. But how can those of us not living in The Lego Movie transform our technology in smart and systematic ways? What is “awesome”? How do we point our organizations in that direction, and how will we know progress when we see it?
The best-performing IT organizations have the highest quality, throughput, and reliability while also showing value on the bottom line. When embarking on a journey of transformation, you want to measure your current status and subsequent progress while keeping tabs on factors that drive improvement in technology performance. Nicole Forsgren explains the importance of knowing how (and what) to measure—ensuring you catch successes and failures when they first show up, not just when they’re epic. Measuring progress lets you focus on what’s important and helps you communicate this progress to peers, leaders, and executives who decide budget. Business outcomes don’t realize themselves, after all, and “doing DevOps” doesn’t define stakeholder value any more than “being awesome” does.
If you don't know where you're going it doesn't matter how fast you get thereNicole Forsgren
The best-performing organizations have the highest quality, throughput, and reliability while also delivering value. They are able to achieve this by focusing on a few key measurement principles, which Nicole and Jez will outline in this talk. These include knowing your outcome measuring it, capturing metrics in tension, and collecting complementary measures… along with a few others. Nicole and Jez explain the importance of knowing how (and what) to measure—ensuring you catch successes and failures when they first show up, not just when they’re epic, so you can course correct rapidly. Measuring progress lets you focus on what’s important and helps you communicate this progress to peers, leaders, and stakeholders, and arms you for important conversations around targets such as SLOs. Great outcomes don’t realize themselves, after all, and having the right metrics gives us the data we need to be great SREs and move performance in the right direction.
Adopting a Continual Improvement Mindset for ITJosh Atwell
Few organizations feel they are reaching their true potential. Technical debt, antiquated processes, outdated measurements, and a never-ending influx of new requirements leave most feeling incapable of doing much more than keeping the lights on. Overcoming these challenges and achieving meaningful change doesn't happen overnight, but is a necessity in order to create the next generation of IT operations and create the foundation for DevOps success.
This session will explore techniques that modern IT organizations are adopting to become more agile, adopt new technologies like containers, new processes like DevOps, and build a culture of continual improvement. We will touch on how to:
• Improve responsiveness, collaboration, and learning across teams
• Adopting and supporting new technologies like containers, microservices, and automation
• Gain more visibility into your environments and processes to identify constraints
• Grow beyond firefighting and just getting the next feature out
[CXL Live 16] Growth Hacking BS: Fixing Marketing One Truth at a Time by Morg...CXL
Growth hacking has exploded in popularity, with companies scrambling to find magical 'hackers' who create massive user bases and revenue out of thin air. Unfortunately, a closer look shows us that much of the hype is just that. To find growth, companies must stop searching for unicorns and do something much less sexy: get back to work.
In this talk I'll cover:
- how companies actually grow online based on studying dozens of fast-growing startups
- why growth is based on companies finding winning tests faster
- how we did that at growth hackers
- how other companies do it (HubSpot, Twitter, more)
- how to start hacking and start growing
- things to avoid, etc.

Developing a digital mindset for non digital leaders: Fiona PhillipsThoughtworks
Forrester’s The Sorry State of Digital Transformation in 2018 reports that in 37% of companies, CIOs lead digital transformation projects, the largest cohort out of the C-Suite. Why is such an important process in the evolution of the company still in the hands of the CIO alone, when it is clearly a critical component of the broader business strategy and its success?
The modern digital era now demands that technology leaders become product owners and business executives understand how technology can be a key driver of how the business operates, delivers and grows. It’s within that tight integration that the transformative magic of digital can happen and add value back to the business and its customers.
Key Takeaways: Fiona will draw on her first-hand experience leading very complex transformation agendas within the banking, insurance and telco sectors to share how leaders can learn from technologists and why mindset needs to be at the heart of an organisation’s value creation.
Lean UX + UX Strat, from UX Strat conference, September 2013Joshua Seiden
Slides from my talk at UX Strat, 2013. (www.uxstrat.com)
How to use Lean UX methods to execute on business, product, and design strategy.
I presented a slightly altered version a few days later at Fluxible 2013. (http://www.fluxible.ca)
The agile manifesto says directly that "We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it." If this continual improvement is true, what new topics are currently being discussed and talked about at agile conferences? What are teams across the world struggling and experimenting with? What topics are the most heated? In this session, I'll give an overview of some of the new and hot agile topics.
Developing your Developers: Constructing Career Paths for your Technologists ...Kevin Goldsmith
How you construct development paths in your company can support and deepen your company values. Doing it well means heightening employee engagement and improving retention. This talk gives technology and people team leaders a place to start their conversations.
In this unique presentation, Kevin will discuss his experience at Adobe, Microsoft, Spotify and now at a legal online marketplace, Avvo. In each organization, Kevin used his background in Operational Excellence to transform businesses. Kevin has created nimble innovation cultures at Adobe & Microsoft, and has used operational excellence tools to help innovation at Spotify. He will discuss how:
* How Avvo’s leadership team focuses on the larger strategy at this rapidly growing company, empowering employees to make decisions
* Articulating and communicating the strategy in a way that employees understand
* Aligning and prioritizing innovation projects at Spotify to overall business goals and objectives
* How to benefit from speed and how to operate on a larger scale.
This talk describes a product ownership model practiced by leading software development firms, including Pivotal Labs. Balanced team refutes the idea that Product Managers are "mini CEOs" who unilaterally set direction, and instead leverages a cross-functional team to work more quickly and smoothly.
How To (Not) Open Source - Javazone, Oslo 2014gdusbabek
Releasing an open source project while maintaining a shipping product is hard! Different behaviors, attitudes and actions can help or hinder your cause; and they are not always obvious.
The Blueflood distributed metrics engine was released as open source software by Rackspace in August 2012. In the succeeding months the team had to strike a manageable balance between the challenges of growing a community, being good open source stewards, and maintaining a shipping product for Rackspace. Find out what worked, what did not work, and the lessons that can be applied as you endeavor to take your project out into the open.
In this presentation you will learn about strategies for releasing open source products, pitfalls to avoid, and the potential benefits of moving more of your development out in the open.
We have also made a few realizations about the community growing up around metrics. It is still young, and there are problems that come with that youth. I'll talk about some things we can do to make a better software ecosystem.
Spotify Running: Lessons learned from building a ‘Lean Startup’ inside a big ...Brendan Marsh
This is the story of how a small, cross-functional team (with only 1 developer!) worked closely with our customers on a weekly basis to discover the right thing to build, before we built anything and eventually shipped an innovative new feature that was praised by customers and the press alike. If you’ve read the Lean Startup, have been inspired by their stories and wonder “wow that’s really inspiring, now how the heck do I actually DO this?!”, then this presentation is for you. (Here’s a hint: It ain’t easy, but is doable!)
Let's Build a Product Development Organization!Kevin Goldsmith
A workshop on building agile organizations from small single teams through large numbers of teams including discussions of long term organizational thinking and leadership coaching. Participants will use their current organizations as a starting point and will project them through future growth and challenges.
RightScale Webinar: The DevOps Debate - Is the Enterprise Ready?RightScale
A heated debate is underway on whether DevOps is a viable option for the enterprise. Dissidents cite that the success of the DevOps model is not just dependent on having the right people and tools, but an agile organization and culture of collaboration rarely found outside of startups. Join our expert panel including Gene Kim, one of the original thought leaders and early pioneers of DevOps, for a lively discussion.
What is the job of a CTO and how does it change as a startup grows in size and scale? As a CTO, where should you spend your focus? As an engineer aspiring to be a CTO, what skills should you pursue? In this inspiring and personal talk, I describe my journey from early Red Hat engineer to CTO. I will share my view on what it means to be a CTO, and ultimately answer the question: Should the CTO be coding?
We try to avoid change when by definition; change is what we’re here to manage. Why not make it a skill?
Learn why managing change is a skill like any other. It is a career differentiator. And it’s easy as can be.

OSMC 2015: Monitoring at Spotify-When things go ping in the night by Martin ParmNETWAYS
When Spotify started in 2006, with just 20 people, they were more worried about selling the idea of music streaming than of setting up monitoring systems. Fast forward to 2015 and
more than 400 engineers are collecting more than 30 million time series from more than 10000 hosts; so how did we get here? The journey has been a long one, with plenty of false starts and growing pains, from scaling systems to scaling teams to scaling the business itself; challenging what we thought we knew about operational monitoring at every step.
This talk is about some of the more interesting challenges we've faced along the way, and about what we've learned so far; covering some of the technical details but primarily focusing on the human aspects, and how our monitoring solutions have both shaped and been shaped by organizational structures and changing engineering practices.

Building a modern monitoring environment is more than just using the latest awesome tools, collecting all of the data, displaying numerous graphs and knowing when things go wrong. A modern monitoring environment is more than tools and infrastructure. It's a service. A service you provide to your whole team: developers, operations, security, and the business. This talk is about how you can build monitoring environments (or extend your existing environment) that are customer-focussed rather than infrastructure focussed. We'll see how you can treat your needs and the needs of your organization as customer requirements and build monitoring that is consumable and configurable on demand.

Identifying and fixing issues in new code before deploying it to production is important for every software development cycle. However, relying on traditional testing methods in the age of Internet-scale data driven problems may prove to be incomplete. Identifying and fixing the issues in production quickly is crucial, but it requires insight into usage patterns and trends across the whole architecture and application logic. In this talk I touch on inefficiencies of some of the most common testing methods, provide real world examples of discovering odd edge cases with monitoring and offer recommendations on top-down metric instrumentation to help DevOps organizations with identifying and acting on business-effecting problems.
Opening talk at Monitorama, talks about the problems of monitoring, challenges of creating monitoring tools and why monitoring vendors keep getting disrupted. Ended with a discussion of simulation testing and serverless architectures - Monitorless.
SREcon 2016 Performance Checklists for SREsBrendan Gregg
Talk from SREcon2016 by Brendan Gregg. Video: https://www.usenix.org/conference/srecon16/program/presentation/gregg . "There's limited time for performance analysis in the emergency room. When there is a performance-related site outage, the SRE team must analyze and solve complex performance issues as quickly as possible, and under pressure. Many performance tools and techniques are designed for a different environment: an engineer analyzing their system over the course of hours or days, and given time to try dozens of tools: profilers, tracers, monitoring tools, benchmarks, as well as different tunings and configurations. But when Netflix is down, minutes matter, and there's little time for such traditional systems analysis. As with aviation emergencies, short checklists and quick procedures can be applied by the on-call SRE staff to help solve performance issues as quickly as possible.
In this talk, I'll cover a checklist for Linux performance analysis in 60 seconds, as well as other methodology-derived checklists and procedures for cloud computing, with examples of performance issues for context. Whether you are solving crises in the SRE war room, or just have limited time for performance engineering, these checklists and approaches should help you find some quick performance wins. Safe flying."
DevOpsDays Amsterdam - Monitoring at Service Provider ScaleChris Jackson
At Rackspace, we're implementing DevOps principles to enable scale and faster flow of business value, for us that means customer satisfaction. There's lots of work for us to do to complete our implementation, but this talk shows a little about our belief system for DevOps and how we're trying to change monitoring into a source of customer delight.

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.
Keynote address given at Campus LISA, UCSD, July 2014. Abstract: Technical professionals act as brokers in organizations, communicating across functional and organizational boundaries. As brokers, tech professionals straddle two worlds, and can leverage this space if they know how. This talk will focus on understanding the gap between the IT function and management and how to bridge that gap in order to increase respect for IT among management, and improve your relationship with management. The talk will also cover identifying your (or your team’s) role within the organization, effective communication with upper management, positioning yourself and your team to increase visibility, and becoming a strategic partner.
Innovation Practices, Metrics and Performance by Kenneth Kahn Ph.D of VCU's ...CincyInnovates
New Product Development (NPD) practitioners are keen to benchmark NPD practices because identifying practices which are able to more efficiently and/or effectively deliver a new product or service could mean the difference between success and failure. To help in identifying such practices Dr. Kahn will present findings pertaining to what practitioners find to be poor and best NPD practices. Among the different practices presented particular focus will be put on metrics and performance measurement. Thoughts on how to frame metrics and performance measurement during innovation will be introduced. The presentation will conclude with guidelines for manifesting better performance through practices and metrics, incorporating actual project experiences from VCU’s da Vinci Center for Innovation.

Would you use this? UX South Africa 2016Phil Barrett
if you're an innovator, "Would you use this" is a question you really want to answer. But you can't ask it in a usability test. Usability tests can evaluate comprehension and ease of use, but test respondents can't reliably predict their own future behaviour. If you base your strategic choices on experiments where you ask them to do that, you can cause serious damage to your company.
But using the JTBD change making forces, and the MAO model, you can start to explore the factors that influence people's actions systematically . You can find out *when* and *why* people will use your new product idea, which is enough to work out whether your product is on the right track.
Moving Innovation from Buzzword to ActionZeus Jones
People — not processes — are what build every great business. The same is true of innovation. Here's how to build a culture of innovation within any company.
Since the publication of the Agile Manifesto in 2001, Agile has grown to be the standard practice for the software development industry and teams around the globe. Seeing the success of this approach, other areas of the business are looking to adopt it; but…how do you “run agile” in non-software development teams? How do you apply the Agile principles and tools to an Operations, Sales or an HR team? And more importantly, how does your business achieve Business Agility as a whole?

Agile Methodology: It's Not Just for Software DevelopersTara Nesbitt
As marketers, we are responsible for anticipating and responding to the needs and wants of our target audience at the drop of a hat. We’ve seen brands like Coca-Cola, Microsoft and Hilton successfully execute campaigns in the blink of an eye. Part of their success lies within the mindset of Agile Methodology. Learn more about how you and your marketing team can implement this thought process to achieve success as our world continues to move at the speed of light.
Customer-centric – As marketers, we must know our users. Get a better understanding of how the Agile Methodology will help you better understand and serve your users and enable teams to quickly navigate and implement through the various channels to get a more holistic view of their users.
Disruption – It is inevitable that brands are fighting tooth and nail to upend their competitors by executing new and improved marketing tactics to reach their targeted audience. Learn how your brand can continually learn and iterate, as opposed to seeking perfection. Marketers should be able to fail early, fail fast and fail often.
Breakdown silos – The Agile Methodology is about working across the spectrum with the various teams within your organization to quickly and efficiently arrive at a solution, which allows marketers to engage more effectively with the various departments within their organization.

Moves the Needle: Lean Branding: Aligning Product, Brand & Culture Through Pa...AMASanDiego
Track: Brand Management & Integrated Communications
Topic: LEAN BRANDING
Title: Aligning Product, Brand & Culture Through Parallel Innovation
Speaker: JEREMIAH GARDNER, Author, Principal, Moves the Needle
As lean innovation methodologies become more cemented in product innovation and sprinkled throughout the organization, the conventional branding model is proving ill-equipped to handle the new thinking. This disconnect is causing disruptions in the ability to deliver discovered value to the organization’s large customer base. Just as lean branding is transforming the approach to brand development for startups, it’s being used to help larger enterprises innovate with their existing brands by helping them align initiatives to be more disruptive and achieve breakthrough innovation with product, brand, and culture through parallel innovation.

It's not just about code; it's about fostering better vibes and achieving outstanding outcomes for all. Don't miss out on this journey into the magic of DevEx.
So often, we talk about doing the DevOps for money, fame, and high performance. But DevOps was the original hipster of changing the way we work to take care of ourselves and each other. In this talk, Nicole Forsgren will discuss how these technology transformations can not only help us ship software with speed and stability, they can reduce burnout, improve our culture, and communicate better. She will also share the latest research from her team about productivity, and what this means for the future of work -- spoiler alert: productivity is personal. As we shift back into work patterns that look like normal (whatever normal is), we can reimagine cultures and technologies that shift to support us and our teams -- just like DevOps did in its beginning.

The Data on DevOps: Making the Case for AwesomeNicole Forsgren
What’s the value proposition of DevOps? Does culture change show up in the bottom line? What practices predict high IT performance? We hear many stories to inspire and inform us, but the plural of anecdote is not data. Let’s dive into the research and find out which DevOps practices drive optimal IT and business outcomes.
The data shows that the best IT performers have the highest throughput and reliability while contributing to organizational profitability, productivity, and market share goals. Industry trends around security, containers, continuous delivery, and lean management relate to IT performance and quality: let’s talk about how.
Management and practitioners alike will leave with a better understanding of how to achieve the best outcomes, while armed with the data they need to make the case for change.
Four years, 25,000+ DevOps professionals, and some science... What did we find? Well, the headline is that IT *does* matter if you do it right. With a mix of technology, processes, and a great culture, IT contributes to organizations' profitability, productivity, and market share. We also found that using continuous delivery and lean management practices not only makes IT better -- giving you throughput and stability without tradeoffs -- but it also makes your work feel better -- making your organizational culture better and decreasing burnout. Nicole will share these findings as well as tips and tricks to help make your own DevOps transformation awesome.
How DevOps is Transforming IT, and What it Can Do for AcademiaNicole Forsgren
Today's business climate is challenging companies to innovate and respond to the market, and forcing them to do so with much greater pressure than ever before. DevOps provides organizations with the ability to respond to this challenge, helping them to innovate and create at velocity and bring value to their business through software, because there really aren't any major companies that aren't software companies.
But the *real* message here is that DevOps is more than just technology. We have been beating our drum for years that DevOps is revolutionary because it goes so far beyond just the technology (tools) -- it is also the practices and the culture. All three of these are required for DevOps to truly effect transformational change. Technology professionals also realized they had to reach out to peers in other silos and collaborate with them in all three areas in order to truly succeed -- and that if the changes were done courageously, with empathy, embracing the new diversity of thought and methodology, things would be amazing. And they ARE.
Academia is facing similar challenges to innovate in the face of new challenges. As a fellow academic (or very recent academic! I still feel like a member of the tribe), I felt these pressures. Perhaps we can look to DevOps methodologies for inspiration and ideas to innovate at velocity. It will take more than just tools, it will take novel practices and collaboration with peers we haven't traditionally worked with.
Sure, we have all thought that continuous delivery is important in software delivery... now we have data to back it up. Dr. Nicole Forsgren will present new research that shows the central role that CD plays in Agile and DevOps, the key processes that contribute to it, and how it can not only impact your IT teams and company success, but how it can also make your work feel better. This extends her prior research showing why investments in IT are now impacting teams and organizations, how we got here, and what’s next. The presentation includes the data 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. Nicole invites all DevOps practitioners to build their teams up so they can lead high performing organizations, and think about what they can do to affect change beyond their teams and their organizations.
What we learned from three years sciencing the crap out of devopsNicole Forsgren
Three years, 20,000 DevOps professionals, and some science... What did we find? Well, the headline is that IT *does* matter if you do it right. With a mix of technology, processes, and a great culture, IT contributes to organizations' profitability, productivity, and market share. We also found that using continuous delivery and lean management practices not only makes IT better -- giving you throughput and stability without tradeoffs -- but it also makes your work feel better -- making your organizational culture better and decreasing burnout. Jez and Nicole will share these findings as well as tips and tricks to help make your own DevOps transformation awesome.
Dr. Nicole Forsgren will present the latest research that uncovers what really drives business outcomes of market share, profitability, and productivity as well as DevOps transformation awesomeness... Hint: these need the right mix of IT, culture, and practice, and include continuous delivery and lean management. This exciting research was done with Jez Humble and Gene Kim, and is promising exciting new projects in the space.
So what happens when you're brought in to a team and asked to "introduce a metrics culture" or "measure all the things?" This talk will cover just that: how to assess the state of affairs in your team or organization regarding measurement, how to decide what things to measure for maximum impact, and how to best communicate and iterate those measurements throughout the journey. The talk will cover these topics using my own journey at Chef as well as journeys I see at other companies that I meet and consult with.
This keynote was presented at ChefConf 2015, Ted Talk style. As such, it's all pictures, so I've included notes. I talk about what we know about the DevOps movement and what's coming next, in three key areas: tooling and automation, process and practice, and culture and community.
This presentation is a more interactive version of my DevOps and the Bottom Line talk. Specifically, it helps groups think about how the astonishing increases in throughput and stability can impact their own teams and organizations.
Winning the Budget Game: How to Get the Money You Need for IT Every TimeNicole Forsgren
Getting the resources your team needs is a matter of knowing just enough about finances to communicate what you want, and explaining how it will benefit the company. The trick is to speak their language. Learn the basics of budgeting, benchmarking, resource allocation, cost-benefit analysis, and communicating costs using tools like net present value. Understand the importance of your business cycle and the difference between cap-ex and op-ex. These are slides from a half-day course that also covers spreadsheet magic, like pivot tables and pivot charts.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

WE’VE TALKED ABOUT:
MEASUREMENT IS CULTURE
• You can’t improve what you don’t measure
• Always measure things that matter
• That which is measured gets managed
• If you capture only one metric, you know exactly what will be gamed
• Metrics inform our incentives… and shape behavior
• Not everything that can be counted... Counts
• Just because something is hard to measure doesn’t mean it isn’t worth measuring
