This document appears to be a slide presentation on DevOps practices and culture. Some key points discussed include:
- High-performing IT organizations are twice as likely to exceed goals in areas like profitability and customer satisfaction.
- DevOps focuses on continuous delivery, quality, lean processes, effective collaboration, and a culture of learning from failures.
- Culture can be measured and influenced by providing employees the tools and training to do their jobs successfully.
- Adopting DevOps practices may lead to improved lead times, release frequency, change fail rates, and service restoration times.
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.
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.

How do you become a high performing technology organization? Over the past five years, the State of DevOps Report has shown how the highest-performing technology teams decisively outperform their lower-performing peers. The report has also investigated the effects of burnout, culture and employee engagement on organizational performance. Nicole Forsgren shares insights into the key leadership, technical, architectural, and product capabilities that drive these outcomes, including new findings from cloud, outsourcing, and open source. She offers highlights and surprises uncovered over the last five years from over 30,000 responses.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
DevOps: What's Buried in the Fine PrintJeffery Smith
You've implemented DevOps, but are you experiencing some growing pains? This talk walks through some of the gotchas encountered with rolling out DevOps in your org.
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.
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.

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
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.

Tools, Culture, and Aesthetics: The Art of DevOpsJ. Paul Reed
My DevOps Days Tel Aviv keynote: In this talk, we will examine why these now school-aged ideals remain so difficult to implement, explore why DevOps is often described as "the movement that refuses to identify itself," and what your team can do to confront the dichotomies they are likely to face as they transform how they, their colleagues, and their company go about their daily work.
Explain DevOps To Me Like I’m Five: DevOps for ManagersGene Gotimer
Organizations and leaders are often supportive of DevOps, but they don’t always understand what DevOps is and what it will change. It isn’t a one-size-fits-all issue; different environments need different benefits from a DevOps transformation. Join Gene Gotimer as he explains the most important parts of understanding DevOps. We'll discuss how to determine what parts of DevOps your organization needs to concentrate on first and how you should measure improvement. This session boils DevOps down to its most basic parts and makes sure you have a foundation for understanding how to make it work for your situation and organization.
We know that agile methodologies work at the team level, and there is now even an effort to scale into whole organizations.
There is a clear reason behind this: we found ways to improve performance, by analyzing situations better, and making better decision. Every organization wants to apply this in every level. Like in the late 90s, new ideas are coming out that challenge the way we think, and this time they don't just answer development. Ideas like Beyond Budgeting, Lean Startup, Cynefin, Real Options, Feature Injection, SAFe, Design Thinking, #NoEstimates, Cost of Delay and others are spreading out, and while we know not all will last, you never know which might fit your situation. In this session, I'll give a summary of what's hot around the agile world, with some criticism and application in the real world. 13 years after the original manifesto, organizations start to experiment again. I always wished I was there when the first conversations took place. I encourage you to join in on current conversations. Let's start.

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.

ADDO19 - Automate or not from the beginning that is the questionEnrique Carbonell
ALLDAYDEVOPS 2019
Track: Cultural Transformation
Title: Automate or NOT from the beginning, that is the question...
Description:
The DevOps cultural movement, from its definition, has emphasized the importance of preserving order among the 3 pillars: "people → processes → technologies"; But is it feasible to follow this sequence and how can we put it into practice? Where to start the transformation of the ways of doing and generating value in the organization? Is there a golden rule to transform and achieve the adoption of DevOps in organizations? These are recurring questions when you start to implement something that everyone wants, but not everyone knows how achieve it.
Many bet to include tools, others for the organizational vision of the processes; but "where we want to go" is the key. The focus of this presentation is to begin with the definition of the business objectives and refine and correct them under the continuous feedback supported by the tasks of collaboration and automation. Some cases of our experiences will be shared about the DevOps services that are usually requested by clients and some of the points of failure of customer requirements that demonstrate that with measurement and continuous experimentation we can improve business metrics.
With Nicole Forsgren, VP of Strategy and Research at GitHub
Now more than ever, technology matters. Long before COVID-19 made remote work the norm, digital products were driving value and disruption for organizations. But delivering software safely remained a debate: For years, we thought slow meant more stable code and releases… even though we kept seeing fire drills and suffering through weeks-long releases.
The best, most innovative organizations have realized that it's possible to release code -- in ways that are safer, more stable, and more reliable while providing insights into what users value and need. Nicole Forsgren, author of "Accelerate" and leading software development and DevOps researcher will share insights on what teams can do to improve their software delivery as well as stories from organizations that have seen the benefits of these practices.
The Secrets of High Performance: Science Edition - Nicole Forsgren - Codemoti...Codemotion
Nicole has spent the last four years researching high-performing IT teams, and the impact of IT performance on organizational performance. In this talk, she will present the key factors that enable not just higher throughput but also higher stability and quality, lower cost, and happier teams. Discover how continuous delivery and lean management practices produce higher IT performance (and indeed what IT performance means), along with how to measure culture and its impact on our work. Learn the patterns and practices used by high-performing organizations to outcompete their peers.
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.
Ever wondered about Developer Experience (DevEx) and how it can truly impact your work? Join us for a chat where we break down what DevEx is and why it's relevant for everyone, not just devs. DevsOps and productivity expert Dr. Nicole Forsgren will reveal how DevEx can ignite cultural change and deliver real results in today's rapid software development landscape, backed by the latest research findings. She will share how Microsoft is leveraging a DevEx perspective to drive cultural shifts and enable AI-powered innovations that make expertise available to all teams. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
How Continuous Delivery and Lean Management Make your DevOps AmazeballsNicole Forsgren
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 include continuous delivery (and what is most important when you do CD) and lean management (and what that means for us). This exciting research was done with Jez Humble and Gene Kim, and is promising exciting new projects in the space.
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.
Presentation given at DevOps Enterprise Summit 2014. Abstract: For the first time in recent history, researchers have found a link between IT investments and organizational performance — if these IT investments occur with the right mix of IT, culture, and practice called DevOps. For the last two years, Dr. Nicole Forsgren has worked in collaboration with Gene Kim, Jez Humble and Puppet Labs to determine the health and habits of DevOps organizations, examining over 14,000 survey responses to identify the top predictors of IT performance and organizational performance. Dr. Forsgren will give a brief summary of the shocking findings of the 2013 survey, as well as an outline of the desired outcomes for the 2014-2015 survey. She will close with a call to action, inviting the DevOps Enterprise Summit attendees for their help in shaping the IT Revolution research agenda.

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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

IT performance matters!
“Firms with high-performing IT organizations were twice as likely to
exceed their profitability, market share and productivity goals.”

...but we care about more than
money
high performers were also twice as likely to exceed objectives in:
• quantity of goods and services
• operating efficiency
• customer satisfaction
• quality of products or services
• achieving organization or mission goals.

How to impact & influence culture
“What changed the culture was
giving employees the means by
which they could successfully do
their jobs. It was communicating
clearly to employees what their
jobs were and providing the
training and tools to enable them
to perform those jobs
successfully.”

Dealing with Failure
• In a complex, adaptive system failure is inevitable
• When accidents happen, human error is the starting point of a
blameless post-mortem
• Ask: how can we get people better information?
• Ask: how can we detect and limit failure modes?
25. @nicolefv
@jezhumble
Disaster Recovery Testing
“For DiRT-style events to be successful, an organization first needs to
accept system and process failures as a means of learning… We
design tests that require engineers from several groups who might
not normally work together to interact with each other. That way,
should a real large-scale disaster ever strike, these people will
already have strong working relationships”
