Devops Management is a topic discussed in the halls of conferences and few managers. This talk will focus on the topic of management in a highly collaborative and cooperative environment, specifically one that is rapidly growing with a focus on continuous development/deployment
The document discusses common cultural impediments ("elephants") that can prevent effective collaboration between development (Dev) and operations (Ops) teams when adopting a DevOps approach. It identifies eight such elephants: 1) Dev and Ops teams don't communicate; 2) teams are separated rather than integrated; 3) senior leadership priorities aren't aligned; 4) DevOps is seen as replacing Ops rather than collaboration; 5) DevOps is equated only with tools; 6) teams resist change; 7) teams hide behind regulations; and 8) teams try to change too many things at once. For each elephant, it provides ideas for how to address the issue, with a focus on improving communication, collaboration, knowledge sharing and adopting a

DevOps aims to break down silos between development and operations teams to reduce risks and speed up the software development process. It promotes continuous integration, delivery, testing and monitoring to catch issues early. While tools can help, DevOps is primarily a cultural shift where teams collaborate throughout the development lifecycle. Benefits include faster time to market, improved quality, better productivity and visibility into issues. Challenges involve changing mindsets and incentivizing collaboration between different roles.

ReleaseIQ's Next Gen Enterprise Devops Platform Webinar SlidesWayne Greene
The document summarizes a webinar on ReleaseIQ's enterprise DevOps platform. It describes the challenges of complex development environments with multiple teams using different tools and processes. This leads to limited visibility, difficult orchestration and troubleshooting. ReleaseIQ addresses this with a platform that provides visibility into all pipelines, simplifies orchestration and maintenance, offers intelligent troubleshooting, and delivers actionable insights without requiring changes to existing tools. It then demonstrates how ReleaseIQ can help accelerate development by reducing redundant work and improving coordination across teams through a centralized view of the development process.

Why #DevOps Transformation has to start with you.
You are part of your organisation's culture, and in order to change the culture you need to change yourself, first. Learn some useful ideas of personal and DevOps Transformation from the @DevOpsGuys.
More and more companies worldwide are excited about DevOps and the many potential benefits of embarking on a DevOps transformation. The challenge many of them are having, however, is figuring out where to begin and how to scale DevOps practices over time. These challenges can be especially daunting in large enterprises. In this webinar we will discuss a maturity model for framing your transformation, then focus on analyzing your deployment pipeline and identify existing inefficiencies in software development and deployment.
The Three Pillars of Continuous Delivery - Boston Continuous Delivery EventXebiaLabs
The document discusses the three pillars of continuous delivery: culture, practices, and tooling. It argues that culture is expressed through practices, which are carried out using tooling. However, many organizations initially focus on tooling and practices before establishing a supportive culture. The document recommends starting with easily implementable tooling to demonstrate quick wins, and then focusing on developing practices and culture over time to sustain continuous delivery efforts.
DevOps represents cultural change. Whether it’s the change of resistant engineers that don’t want to be on-call or the change of Operations teams to have more empathy towards their counterparts writing code, to the willingness of executives to embrace a culture of automation, measurement and sharing. Organizations must overcome the culture war to be able to approach the agility and productivity that organizations following a DevOps model gain. The faster they can get there, the faster these organizations can take the competitive edge away from traditional enterprises.

DevOps Beyond the Buzzwords: What it Means to Embrace the DevOps LifestyleMark Heckler
Session presented at CodeMash 2016.
DevOps is a hot topic, but it’s a bit ambiguous. What do developers really need to know about DevOps? What is it? What ISN’T it? What difference does it make? We’ll start by examining “DevOps”, what it means to embrace it, and the various personnel involved. We consider the potential benefits associated with a DevOps approach and the risks associated with adopting it…and with not adopting it. We take a quick look at some of the tools and platforms that can be used to implement a productive DevOps environment, including (but not limited to):
* Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) software
* Infrastructure Build Automation tools
* Virtualization, Containerization, and Cloud options
Finally, we run a live scenario using several of the tools discussed to demonstrate the key components of a DevOps-committed lifestyle. We start from nothing, using available tooling to build the target platform in a scriptable, repeatable fashion…then demonstrate effective use of CI/CD software for a more streamlined and effective software build/test/deploy cycle…and finally show how containers and cloud services form the foundation upon which everything else is built.
Webinar Slides: Evolving Your Software Delivery Pipeline (duplicate)XebiaLabs
This document discusses evolving software delivery pipelines. It begins with introductions of the authors and XebiaLabs. The agenda then covers continuous delivery, goals for CD initiatives, determining the scope of a CD pipeline, ownership of CD initiatives, top-down vs bottom-up implementation approaches, CD tooling, and takes questions. Key points emphasized include setting measurable goals, defining the scope and stages of the pipeline, determining cross-functional ownership, and selecting appropriate tooling to realize the pipeline.
1 year has passed since my Devops laboratory talk in Devopsdays Melbourne and we haven't stopped experimenting. After all the buzz and great conversations at Devops days I decided to extend the talk with a few more experiments on top of the previous presentation. This talk was first presented in Last.conf Melbourne on June 2016. The objective is no matter were your company is in terms of adopting a Devops culture/mindset there is always opportunities to try something new.
The experiments covered include:
E0. At the beginning, there was devs and ops
E1. Placements
E2. The tooling team (code name Gandalf)
E3. Secondments
E4. Ops as an attribute of Business areas
E5. The era of Guilds

This document discusses how the company DreamLab phased out their traditional motivational systems and moved to a DevOps culture with different approaches to motivation. It provides the following key points:
- DreamLab transitioned from waterfall to agile to DevOps approaches over 2011-2014, and found their previous motivational systems no longer fit the new work environment.
- Research shows incentive structures affect how teams collaborate and share information. DreamLab aimed to create an environment that motivates in a DevOps culture without financial incentives.
- Their new approach focuses on self-determination theory and intrinsic motivation factors like autonomy, mastery, purpose and relatedness, removing money as a motivator and ensuring those intrinsic factors through
Creating a Culture of Continuous Improvement at AvvoKevin Goldsmith
Avvo is a 10-year old company that is in high growth mode. In June, Kevin Goldsmith joined Avvo as its CTO after three years at Spotify. He will share learnings of how the team is bringing a lean and agile culture to this rapidly growing company. How do you scale the tools of transformation from the team to the company? In a company eager for change, how do you decide where to invest and how fast to go? Kevin will also share some of the programs that have been put into place to begin the transition from a top-down to bottom-up culture.

After an initial DevOps transformation as a company, we had to grapple with how to scale and grow the talent and workforce to build a NextGen DevOps-minded company of 18,000+ people. We have built a number of programs to expand awareness, encourage growth mindsets, and drive workforce development. We will share the different ways we are working to "Build Brilliant Teams" to drive our DevOps transformations.
Putting Devs On-Call: How to Empower Your TeamVictorOps
A main tenet of DevOps is bridging the gap between the Dev team and the Ops team. One way to accomplish this is to include devs in the on-call rotation. While this may sound difficult, it’s not impossible to do…as our guide demonstrates.
We profile four companies that have successfully transitioned their dev team to being on-call and their stories can provide examples for how you too can do it.
All-Epiphyseal ACL Reconstruction Improves Tibiofemoral Contact: An In Vitro Study
This study tested 10 cadaver knees to compare tibiofemoral contact after ACL injury and after all-epiphyseal ACL reconstruction. The reconstruction shifted the center of force anteriorly on the tibia and decreased maximum lateral and medial forces compared to the ACL-deficient knee. This suggests all-epiphyseal ACL reconstruction improves tibiofemoral contact mechanics in a way that may reduce cartilage deformation and risk of osteoarthritis.
The document discusses themes of departure, yearning for something else, and wanting to get away. It references emotions of wanting to leave one's current situation behind and longing for a change of scenery or different circumstances. The three words together suggest feelings of restlessness, dissatisfaction, and a desire to break free from what is holding one back.
Oh wow! We are a lean and agile organization. Where do I fit as a traditional PM?
Product development organizations seek a competitive edge -- lean and agile practices are at the forefront of organizational change in most companies. Trapped in the undertow of the lean & agile transformation, the traditional PM is often left bewildered of the next step to take.
Dr. Dave Cornelius brings many years of experience in the IT industry and as an entrepreneur. Credentials include DM-IST, MBA, PMP, PMI-ACP, CSP, & SSBB. A consultant supporting the transformation to the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) at a Southern California company, Dr. Cornelius receives many concerns from traditional project managers about the PM role in a lean and agile organization.
You will find Dave volunteering in the traditional and agile communities to support fellow members and create new knowledge. Currently, Dave is teaching underserved kids in Los Angeles Scrum and software programming concepts using Alice (a Carnegie Mellon University technology teaching product).
The document provides a Jeopardy-style game to test the reader's knowledge of English contractions. It contains questions about the individual words that make up common contractions using 'nt, 're/'d, 'll, and 's, as well as combinations. For each contraction, the reader must identify the two individual words that make up the contraction and phrase their answer in the form of a question.

This short document discusses a simple gift and compares it to related texts. It mentions "Text One The Simple Gift" and "The second Text" but provides no other details about these texts or the comparison being made. The document is unclear and does not provide enough contextual information to generate a meaningful 3 sentence summary.
This document discusses the evolving role of the project manager (PM) in lean and agile environments. It introduces three PM roles: lagging PM, leading PM, and strategic PM. The lagging PM responds to changes by applying corrective actions. The leading PM charts the future, anticipates issues, and leads organizational change. The strategic PM enables innovations and facilitates organizational alignment. Workshops are provided for each role to identify valuable activities. The document concludes that the PM role has adapted through frameworks like SAFe and that PM skills are applicable beyond specific roles.
Sponzu cause related marketing and video advertising Sponzu
Cause-related marketing has exploded over the past few years, especially in times of corporate mistrust and heightened public awareness of the negative effect that big businesses have on the environment. Brands are increasingly looking to provide public awareness of its values and willingness to support good causes. To facilitate this demand Sponzu offers two sponsorship packages described in this presentation.
A project manager is a highly skilled knowledge worker who has received rigorous training and knowledge in the process of achieving a globally recognized certification. In the lean and agile world, the project manager does not have an official role. The project manager’s role is distributed between the agile team members. The knowledge and skills obtained through certification is transferable in the lean and agile organization.
In a competitive business climate, all available brainpower must be present on deck to enable the organization to achieve enterprise agility and scale to meet customer, compliance, financial markets, internal opportunities, and competitive demands.
This paper evaluates the project manager (PM) role using the Scaled Agile Framework practice, and centers on PM participation in the lean and agile transformation as a strategic, leading, and/or lagging PM.

Delivering the Promise/Business Value
What is the value proposition for agile? Does agile deliver on those benefits? What do the practitioners using it say?
In 2010, I began asking Scrum experts and practitioners about their perceived value of Scrum. A common response was, "it depends on what you mean by value." When presented with examples like return on investment or internal rate of return, they often stated that they don’t use those waterfall measures. However, when asked about value being nimble, they told me I was getting warmer...
During my doctoral research in 2013-2014, I interviewed 32 Scrum and Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) practitioners from 17 industries in Southern and Northern California and Nevada to learn about the value of Scrum to their organizations based on their experiences. The practitioners included: four business leaders, three Scrum coaches, two product owners, eight Scrum masters, three Scrum team members, and 12 other professionals. The discussion continued with attendees at AgileOpen to capture additional insights.

• Ways to achieve buy-in from stakeholders
- The document discusses measuring and improving the return on investment (ROI) of an agile organization.
- It notes that few organizations accurately measure ROI by evaluating projects after completion, yet many report their evaluations are somewhat accurate.
- The key to increasing ROI is decreasing the cycle time for delivering valuable working features to customers by focusing on competent product ownership, effective backlog grooming, trained and empowered teams, mature engineering practices, and robust delivery capabilities. Frequent releases can also increase revenue and ROI.
This document discusses implementing a training program at a company to improve production processes. It begins by outlining the challenges of getting buy-in for the program from management and dedicating production staff time for training. It then discusses creating and implementing training materials, inputting the program into the company's quality management system, and convincing management to incorporate training time when launching new products. The document concludes by noting the rewarding effects of the program, including improved employee morale, pride in work, and staff coming forward with new ideas.

People born after 1980 make up around 30% of the current workforce. Why is this important to HR? Because, this generation, these “millenials”, are very different from their predecessors. They expect everything to be online, on-demand and suited to their individual needs, and they expect to give and receive feedback all the time through a variety of different channels. By 2025, around 75% of staff will be “digital natives”.
In this webinar, Questback – in association with Personnel Today – look at how traditional employee engagement surveys fail to deliver. We also examine how the way in which we collect and deliver feedback needs to evolve to adapt to the changing demographics of the workforce.

Dev ops – what and why - Bristech - July 2016Paul Swartout
DevOps aims to improve collaboration between development and operations teams. It values individuals, working software, customer collaboration, and responding to change over processes and documentation. Case studies show DevOps allows for more frequent software releases with less people, improved predictability, innovation, and focus on building features rather than delivering them. Key benefits are cost reduction, removing waste, and competitive advantage from faster time to market. Cultural change takes time but starting with influential people, identifying problems, and running safe experiments can help organizations adopt DevOps practices.

Consistent toolbox talks are critical for maintaining workplace safety, as they provide regular opportunities to address specific hazards and reinforce safe practices.
These brief, focused sessions ensure that safety is a continual conversation rather than a one-time event, which helps keep safety protocols fresh in employees' minds. Studies have shown that shorter, more frequent training sessions are more effective for retention and behavior change compared to longer, infrequent sessions.
Engaging workers regularly, toolbox talks promote a culture of safety, empower employees to voice concerns, and ultimately reduce the likelihood of accidents and injuries on site.
The traditional method of conducting safety talks with paper documents and lengthy meetings is not only time-consuming but also less effective. Manual tracking of attendance and compliance is prone to errors and inconsistencies, leading to gaps in safety communication and potential non-compliance with OSHA regulations. Switching to a digital solution like Safelyio offers significant advantages.
Safelyio automates the delivery and documentation of safety talks, ensuring consistency and accessibility. The microlearning approach breaks down complex safety protocols into manageable, bite-sized pieces, making it easier for employees to absorb and retain information.
This method minimizes disruptions to work schedules, eliminates the hassle of paperwork, and ensures that all safety communications are tracked and recorded accurately. Ultimately, using a digital platform like Safelyio enhances engagement, compliance, and overall safety performance on site. https://safelyio.com/
