Teach by Doing: Conversation-Driven Development with ChatOps

Despite the proliferation of tools and processes aimed at lowering barriers and reducing friction across teams, do you still find yourself struggling to make sense of the information hairball, constantly asking—How's the deployment going? Who's responding to that incident? Is staging green? It’s time to STOP! Raj Indugula and Robert Brown introduce the essential concepts and benefits of ChatOps, discuss the anatomy of a chat application/robot, and demonstrate how to leverage ChatOps to help team culture through automation and sharing. ChatOps can improve your team’s communication and collaboration by providing a unifying platform across disparate tools and processes to disseminate knowledge to team members and provide unparalleled visibility across the board. ChatOps helps foster a culture that embraces the core tenets of DevOps—automation, measurement, sharing—by bringing everyday tools and processes into a virtual space used by teams, providing the ability to work quickly and smoothly. See how ChatOps provides a strong foundation for deep collaboration, learning, and teaching by doing.
