In the highly regulated environment of automotive, software quality can be difficult but it doesn't need to be. ESG partners with software teams to improve their team's performance through developer operations. From culture to tool integrations, ESG takes a holistic approach to help teams measurably improve their software development lifecycle and the quality of its output.
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.
Introduction to Software CraftsmanshipRajat Singla
This is a high level view of software craftsmanship. The presentation describes what software craftsmanship is, and why do we need it.
It highlights the shortcomings of Agile, and how software craftsmanship can address these.
I am publishing a series of presentations on the topic. While this is an introductory slide, the upcoming ones will talk about the technical aspects of it such as code smells and refactoring.
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.

What I learned from 5 years of sciencing the crap out of DevOpsDevOpsDays DFW
For years we laboured under the misapprehension that going faster meant breaking things. After several years of science-ing, Jez and Dr Nicole Forsgren have identified the key elements that enable not just higher throughput but also higher stability, availability and quality, lower cost, and happier teams. Discover how continuous delivery, cloud infrastructure, and effective management and leadership practices produce higher software delivery performance (and indeed what we might mean by performance), along with how to measure culture and its impact on IT and organizational culture. Find out how we actually ensure our results are reliable and meaningful. Learn the patterns and practices used by high performing organizations to outcompete their peers.
Soaring in the Clouds - Don't be dragged down by ITIL bloat! Navvia
Cloud computing is here and being used by organizations to allow them to be more fleet footed in time to market, and nimble in aligning to changing business needs when it comes to delivering the services to the business and its customers. From a service management perspective it makes no difference wether the service is delivered from the "Cloud", an in house hosted infrastructure or a combination of both. You still need a framework for managing service delivery and ensuring services.

Starting and Scaling DevOps In the EnterpriseSonatype
Gary Gruver, Gruver Consulting
In my role, I get to meet lots of different companies, and I realized quickly that DevOps means different things to different people. They all want to do “DevOps” because of all the benefits they are hearing about, but they are not sure exactly what DevOps is, where to start, or how to drive improvements over time. They are hearing a lot of different great ideas about DevOps, but they struggle to get every-one to agree on a common definition and what changes they should make. It is like five blind men describing an elephant. In large orga-nizations, this lack of alignment on DevOps improvements impedes progress and leads to a lack of focus.
This session is intended to help structure and align those improvements by providing a framework that large organizations and their executives can use to understand the DevOps principles in the context of their current development processes and to gain alignment across the organization for success-ful implem
Eind augustus is het Accelerate: State of DevOps Report 2018 uitgebracht. Zoals in dit rapport wordt aangegeven is IT belangrijk voor veel organisaties, en door goed te zijn op IT gebied wordt het eenvoudiger om (commerciële) bedrijfsdoelstellingen te behalen. Goed presteren als organisatie kan worden bereikt door goed te zijn (en elke dag beter te worden) DevOps gebied. Beter worden in DevOps betekent dat je elke dag moet werken aan het verbeteren van competenties die belangrijk zijn wanneer je in DevOps werkt. Maar welke competenties moet je ontwikkelen? En hoe presteer je daar vandaag op? Hoe kun je verbeteren op deze competenties zodat je morgen, volgende week en volgende maand beter wordt?
In deze sessie zal ik een overzicht geven van het DevOps Acceleration Program zoals wij deze hebben ontwikkelen. Dit programma zal een antwoord geven op voorgaande vragen en helpen te bepalen waar je welke verbetering kunt en moet doorvoeren. Belangrijk onderdeel van dit programma is het DevOps Assessment ontwikkeld door DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA), maar het is meer dan dat. Door een gezamenlijk een verbeterplan voor de komende 6 maanden op maat op te stellen en te focussen op een beperkt aantal competenties kun je daadwerkelijk verbeteren. Na 6 maanden doen we een meting om de gerealiseerde voortgang te bepalen en input te geven voor een nieuw verbeterplan.
In many organizations, agile development processes are driving the pursuit of faster software releases, which has spawned a set of new practices called DevOps. DevOps stresses communications and integration between development and operations, including continuous integration, continuous delivery, and rapid deployments. Because DevOps practices require confidence that changes made to the code base will function as expected. automated testing is an essential ingredient Join Jeff Payne as he discusses the unique challenges associated with integrating automated testing into continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) environments. Learn the internals of how CI/CD works, appropriate tooling, and test integration points. Find out howpto integrate your existing test automation frameworks into a DevOps environment and leave with roadmap for integrating test automation with continuous integration and delivery.
The Key to High Performance - What the Data SaysNicole Forsgren
Over the past five years, the State of DevOps Report has shown that high-performing IT teams decisively outperform their peers: they deploy 200x more frequently, with 2,555 faster lead times and 1/3 change fail rate. This year, we investigate architecture, experimentation in work, other business outcomes (e.g., for gov't). Come see the latest in what it takes to make software amazing.
In the presentation, Ashley will review how Blackboard revived a dead automated test suite and turned it into a gold standard, transforming the way the company thinks about software quality along the way. Topics covered will include:
- QA is taboo! (we are now Engineering Productivity – but what does that mean?) – establishing goals as a department goes beyond ensuring quality. How did Blackboard build the teams needed to insure success?
- Documentation is like pulling teeth, but so very critical – how the documentation that was created laid the groundwork to improve. She will show examples that have helped teams get on the right track.
- Getting the right environment and pieces in place – and slashing execution times (going from our own PD Lab to the world of Mesos).
- Project Guardrails. Feature by feature, risk analysis, defining/redistributing/removing tests, and getting developers to trust the tests. Pairing our team with scrum teams fix their tests.
It wasn’t all fun and games – what were some of the hiccups that you can learn from Blackboard?
Ashley Hunsberger – Test Automation Architect, Blackboard
QA and test departments often are composed of employees with business backgrounds who have little training when it comes to software testing. Though they are engaged, these team members can get overwhelmed by the thousands of test cases they have to execute over and over, and they don’t see a future career path in testing. What can be done to address these challenges? Join Sophie Benjamin as she presents her personal step-by-step recipe to transform QA and test teams and position them for success within IT. She talks about the essential roles in QA and test teams, their skills and contributions within the software delivery cycle, and tips and tricks to keep employees motivated and willing to invest in their careers. Attendees will leave with practical advice on what leaders and managers can do to ensure that their QA and test teams deliver results and add value to their organizations, today and in the future.
AgileLIVE – Accelerate Enterprise Agile with the Scaled Agile Framework®: Part IVersionOne
Interested in finding out how to scale agile faster, easier and smarter using the Scaled Agile Framework® (SAFe)? If so, make sure you watch this two-part webinar series!
Scrum, XP, Kanban and related methods have been proven to provide step changes in productivity and quality for software teams. However, these methods do not have the native constructs necessary to scale across the enterprise. What the industry desperately needs is a solution that moves from a set of simplistic, disparate, development-centric methods, to a scalable, unified approach that addresses the complex constructs and additional stakeholders in the organization – and accelerates the realization of enterprise-class product or service initiatives via aligned and cooperative solution development.
Part I: Join Dean Leffingwell, software industry veteran and Lean Systems Society Fellow, for an overview of SAFe, a publicly–accessible knowledge base of proven lean and agile practices for enterprise-class software development.
Dean Leffingwell, software industry veteran and Lean Systems Society Fellow, has spent his career helping software teams achieve their goals.

Be agile. Scale up. Stay Lean with SAFe by Michael StumpAgile ME
Today’s successful companies are recognizing that software is increasingly a competitive advantage for their business. Real, tangible software development value occurs only when end-users are successfully operating the software in their environment. To ensure a faster flow of value to the business, the Scaled Agile Framework helps teams successfully deliver a differentiated and engaging customer experience, achieve quicker time to value, and gain increased capacity to innovate. The process of deploying software builds to production is no less important than developing and testing the new functionality. As an industry, we are currently mastering more Agile, better and faster methods for incrementally developing potential user value. In practice, however, these achievements are jeopardized by poorly managed deployments that happen too late in the lifecycle and delays value delivery. Bringing deployment operations (DevOps) onboard the Agile Release Train, engaging them in the PSI planning and other program level events, and establishing environments, practices and disciplined procedures in support of a continuous deployment pipeline helps the enterprise enable faster feedback and a more predictable value delivery rhythm. Join Michael Stump (Principal Contributor to SAFe), Thought Leader from Scaled Agile Inc. and software industry veteran to get an in-depth overview of how SAFe together with DevOps can provide the most customer value and quality in the sustainable shortest lead time.
How Quality Assurance is Important in Development Life Cycleijtsrd
In recent days the requirement of quality has grown up universally. Away back, quality culture was practiced only by software industries, today it has also been embraced by companies using technology in their internal projects. The project should not be risked due to contingency and advancement that may come along the way. This is one of the precepts of software quality. Capacity development are imminent, but must be planned for another sprint, unless there is an urgent need on the part of the customer. The software architecture must adhere to the specified requirements. It can be innovative, lasting and still try to solve, not only the predicted problems, but also the unforeseen ones. It is at this point that the development team must glimpse what is really desired and not just what was asked for. One of the biggest causes of failure in software projects is lack of scope. In the eagerness to start work soon, the scope definition phase is reduced to the extreme. The result of this is a large number of corrections made during a sprint for a feature that was not properly planned.

Feature Prioritization Techniques for an Agile PMs by Microsoft PMProduct School
Main takeaways:
-PMs don't need a lot of data points to prioritize the features for the upcoming sprint. They just need to identify the relevant one's.

Agile software development methodology is sweeping the IT Industry. Many organizations are experimenting with Agility and there are many “brands” of Agile including Scrum, XP, Lean, Crystal Clear and DSDM. Adoption of one of these methodologies could be wholesale in the case of a small well defined project that has no dependencies on other projects and can be completely delivered by a trained and motivated team. As these types of adoptions are rare organizations are looking for ways to ease into Agile practices without losing productivity.
This session is designed to discuss and identify ways that agile enablers can facilitate the transition to Agile practices. Participants learn basic Agile practices as well as techniques for introducing them to the software delivery team. This session will present common software delivery problems and the Agile path to solutions.

18. SHIFT CULTURE TO PERFORMANCE-ORIENTED
When researchers at Google studied over 180 engineering teams, they
found that the most important factor in predicting a high- performing
team is psychological safety, or feeling safe taking risks around your
team. This was followed by dependability, structure and clarity of work,
meaning, and impact.

19. DON’T MISTAKE METHODS FOR PRINCIPLES
Tools & Methods can be nitrous to a well tuned engine.
But missing principles and adding tools without
objectives and key results can easily become cinder
blocks around your waist.
They can mask fundamental problems and prolong the
amount of time before they are resolved.
20. I caution against assuming that tools are the
key to a successful transition to a DevOps
culture. As Sun Tzu wrote: "Tactics without
strategy is the noise before defeat".
“
Mike D. Kail, CTO at Everest.org
21. BACK TO THE BASICS: DEVOPS IS CULTURAL, NOT JUST A WORKFLOW STRATEGY
1. What are your business objectives & compliance requirements?
2. How do you measure success of those objectives?
3. Which measurements of success are most impacted by your
developer operations?
4. How is your culture oriented to facilitate achieving that success?
5. What change can you make, without a new tool, that will make a 10x
impact on your software quality?
22. EVERY COMPANY HAS UNIQUE CHALLENGES
Every company has unique challenges & is at a
different point in their DevOps journey, but here
are a few ideas to make a 10x impact
23. OBJECTIVES & KEY RESULTS
● Define clear objectives and how you
measure success towards them
● Be transparent about what the objectives
and key results are to your entire team
● Empower teams and individuals to define
how they can help the company achieve
those goals
● Limit focus to 3-5 objectives and iterate
● Add tools to measure, automate, and
augment your processes as necessary
WORKPATH: OKRs Objectives and Key Results
24. INTROSPECTION & PROCESS ITERATION - ELIMINATE STAGNATION
● No process is ever perfect
● Coordinate cadenced team and company
wide process retrospectives
● Identify what is working & what is not
● Experiment with new processes where things
are not working and measure their
effectiveness
● Add tools to measure, automate, and
augment your processes as necessary
25. SHIFT TO GENERATIVE CULTURE
● Work to break down barriers and
encourage cross functional teams
● Share risks across your teams
● Innovate on how you can empower
experimentation & learning while
maintaining compliance
○ Sandbox Teams
○ Early Development Prototype Teams
○ Beta User Group Deployments
○ Focus Group Deployments
● Helpful Guides on Getting Started:
○ Harvard Business Review
○ Strategy&
○ The LEAN Startup
● Add tools to measure, automate, and
augment your processes as necessary
“A Typology of Organisational Cultures” BMJ Quality & Safety 2004 by Professor R Westrum from
the Department of Sociology at Eastern Michigan University.
26. TECHNOLOGY: THE ACCELERANT
● Prerequisite: Continuous Introspection, Learning, and Improvement
● Identify objectives and key results then iterate on process, learn what works
for your company / team, and add tooling as necessary to meet objectives
● Do NOT try to do the entire pipeline at once
○ Higher learning curve
○ More resistance to change
○ Higher probability to reverting to past habits
○ Extremely difficult to identify what changes are having what impact
● Focus on the human element and positive habit forming
27. It’s OK to start at your own speed.
Process innovation doesn’t happen overnight.

That’s all well and fine for high-tech companies deploying to the cloud and mobile devices, but they can’t kill anyone.
That’s all well and fine for high-tech companies deploying to the cloud and mobile devices, but they can’t kill anyone.
Some of the most common misconceptions we help teams through.
Teams get super excited and jump right into making the “best DevOps pipeline” but forget why they’re actually doing it and trying to achieve.
Multiple studies show that barriers and handoffs lead to less efficient processes and more error prone systems
“‘I Caution against Assuming That Tools Are the Key to a Successful Transition to a DevOps Culture.’” JAXenter, 4 Apr. 2019, jaxenter.com/devops-influencers-interview-series-kail-157501.html.
Now I’m going to be hypocritical for a second, if you’re using email to ship around and share code, get an source code manager like git.
Determine what timing works best for you. We often suggest starting with bi-weekly for teams and quarterly for cross unit/company level reviews.
