Introduction to DevOps with Chocolate and Legos
NewAn organizational change could cause confusion, bring havoc and face strong resistance. Learn how you can help your teams and management, experience the value of a DevOps culture by participating in this workshop! The workshop simulates the pre-DevOps life of a large enterprise whose teams (development, operations and business) have very different goals. Workshop participants will use role cards, Legos, and chocolate to experience the goals misalignment, simulate a product development flow, and make bottlenecks visible. Through debriefing and group discussions participants will explore the 3 Ways of DevOps, experiment with optimising flow, amplify the feedback loop, as well as learn about the path to a culture of experimentation and learning. Real-life scenarios combined with a gamified format will trigger a number of Aha! moments and generate actionable learning for participants.
