The workshop is designed to prepare Executives to lead the transformation of their software development processes and provide them with a common understanding of DevOps for the Enterprise. It will start by reviewing the improvements that are possible and highlighting the challenges of typical Enterprise transformations. It will then work through the steps of a successful transformation.
The workshop will focus on the changes that Executives are uniquely positioned to address and will have the biggest impact on the business. Instead of the typical transformation that focuses on improving the effectiveness of individual teams this approach focuses the Executives on engaging their management teams on improving the coordination across teams with DevOps approaches. Furthermore, the approach will focus on the important cultural changes that require Executive leadership.
The workshop will provide an in-depth review of DevOps, the different practices, and the different inefficiencies they were designed to address. It will highlight how and why DevOps principles can and should be different for coordinating the work across large and small teams. The goal is to ensure everyone has a common understanding of the principles, practices, and a framework for discussing their improvements.
At the end of the workshop Executives should have a much better understanding of their role in leading a successful transformation and the steps involved. They will also understand the importance of getting the organization engaged and supporting the changes.
All attendees will receive a free copy of Gary's Book "Starting & Scaling DevOps in the Enterprise" and will have the chance to get it signed by Gary from 5-6 p.m. on Wednesday during the evening event in the expo at the CloudBees booth.
