Build a Cross-Department DevOps Team
Who owns DevOps? That's a question that many are asking as more and more organizations implement continuous integration, continuous delivery, and continuous monitoring capabilities—the essence of DevOps engineering. Join Jeffery Payne as he describes how leading-edge organizations are structuring cross-department DevOps teams and where those teams live within existing organizational structures. Learn who needs to be involved in a DevOps team, how the team works with the rest of the organization, and where the boundaries are between roles and responsibilities. Take back practical advice on how DevOps teams collaborate and communicate with both technical and business stakeholders, and what DevOps metrics make sense to measure and report. Understand what it takes to build a DevOps capability from the ground up and identify some of the pitfalls when doing so. As part of this presentation, Jeffery will present and discuss real-world examples of how DevOps teams are being built.
