Make It Worse to Make It Better: Hacking DevOps with TRIZ

How is your DevOps transformation going? If safety culture isn’t a part of your organization’s DNA, you might be running into some resistance on your journey. Time to bring out the power tools! Liberating Structures (LS) is a collection of collaboration patterns designed to tap into groups' creativity, engage every voice, uncover unexpected angles, and change the way organizations solve problems. We will look at the current state of your DevOps transformation through the lens of creative destruction—LS TRIZ, a problem-solving analysis tool. Working in small groups, you will explore what you can stop doing in order to facilitate the success of your DevOps implementation. Leave with actionable next steps and a new technique to try back at home at your very next retrospective for a blameless postmortem.
