12. The 3 Ways: The principles underpinning DevOps
Blog by Gene Kim
I can see (perceive) it…
- Silo vs. System concept
I see ways for you to do
better via feedback & data
- System improvements
via visibility, feedback
and data-driven decisions
Systems Thinking
Culture Of Continual Experimentation And Learning
With a common vision,
everyone can see and is
empowered to adapt!
- Mastery and adaptability
- Continuous exploring,
risk/learning tolerance…
