DevOps and the Agile Business

Presented by: 
GitLab logo

In the two decades since the creation of the Agile Manifesto, we’ve seen tremendous progress across all industries toward value-driven thinking. We’ve reorganized development processes, reimagined the project, and—critically—given software development a place at the corporate table. Core to that journey has been the development of DevOps, breaking down silos and helping businesses realize many of the benefits Agile promised.

But what comes next? As we look to widen the Agile umbrella beyond Dev, Sec, and Ops, what does tomorrow’s organization look like? What roles should we reimagine, what lessons should we take from previous Agile and DevOps experiences, and what business results should we expect? If every company is a software company, should every employee think like a developer?

Topics will include:

  • How to apply Agile Principles to broader roles and processes 
  • Enterprise Agile vs. the Agile Enterprise
  • Unlocking the value of previous transformation initiatives
