Description:
Tomek Pająk i próba generalna przed Atmosphere'15
"If they tell you that you can’t do DevOps because you are not in Silicon Valley or what you do is not scalable or that you are too big then most probably they are wrong. If they tell you that DevOps is just the tools like Docker or Chef then they are wrong for sure.
Equally important factor for successful DevOps setup is appropriate culture: trust, communication, respect, global thinking and responsibility alignment. However, very seldom do the companies think in terms of mission and values supporting it. They pay more attention to money – it is desirable if something increases income or decreases cost.
Hence, based on my experience as an Engineering Team Lead when I decided to create DevOps teams in a non-DevOps organisation, I would like to suggest you how you could map the aforementioned values into business arguments which make sense to owners of Dev and Ops silos. Due to such arguments it usually becomes acceptable to create DevOps teams. Once the go-ahead is announced other challenges pop up: how to asses that someone is valuable when recruiting to/building the DevOps team? How to build culture supporting values crucial for DevOps? How does DevOps go along with Agile/Scrum and Lean Startup? Who in an organization may feel at risk when DevOps teams are formed and is it really a threat for them?
I would like to answer those questions in my talk."
