Aligning your DevOps Strategy to your Agile Transformation
If you have a small team on a greenfield project DevOps is easy to get started; your code is not that complex and you environment need tend to be limited. To do it appropriately for a 1,000 or 10,000 person shop with legacy code is orders of magnitude more complex. You have to do it with slices of the organization. You need to move through various stages of DevOps maturity. In this session we will walk you the practices to implement and the appropriate order to implement them to ensure you get valuable outcomes along the way. We will start with how to approach teams that are just trying to get predictable or make better bets and contrast that with more mature teams that are aligned to their customers and markets and need to make localized investment decisions or touch the market often to innovate to learn. Furthermore we will discuss where the ownership and authority need to be for various stages along the journey to balance consistency and agility.
