For managers and IT team leaders who want quick literacy on DevOps – how did something born of a Twitter hashtag become a transformational force in IT departments around the world?

Get a one-hour primer from ASPE on DevOps and why it’s important to the world of IT projects.

“DevOps,” like any buzzword, carries no agreed-upon definition and lots of misconception. In some ways, it’s an odd and accidental term for something so significant and multifaceted.

However, the underlying forces and reasons behind the DevOps movement are clear. It’s about corporate culture shifts, IT worker empowerment, amazing new tools, cloud computing capabilities, and movement towards a new way of managing IT work: unified, agile, and oriented around the needs of the business.

Properly understood and pursued, DevOps holds the promise of higher quality operations and projects, higher IT worker retention, continuous deployment of code and products, more robust systems, higher levels of automation, and much more.

Join Chris for the executive overview of the DevOps movement and what it means for IT teams everywhere.

The landscape of process modeling has evolved as have the best practices.

The smartest companies are using decision modeling in combination with process modeling.

The principle reason is that decisions and processes are discovered and managed in separate, yet, interrelated ways. Decision Model and Notation (DMN) is an evolution of Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) 2.0 into an even more powerful and capable tool set.

In this live webinar, Tom Debevoise (LinkedIn profile) and James Taylor (LinkedIn profile) share tips and advice from their new book, “The MicroGuide to Process and Decision Modeling in BPMN/DMN: Building More Effective Processes by Integrating Process Modeling with Decision Modeling”.

They will cover 4 key benefits of integrating BPMN and DMN:

1. Streamlined processes – By eliminating unnecessary gateways and scripting activities, the addition of Decision Modeling to Process Modeling streamlines the process.
2. Focused Discovery – The teams that own the decision are often different than the process stakeholders and separate models better engage them.
3. Improved visibility and flexibility – It’s easier to understand and change process behavior by changing the rules that are managed through decisions modeled in DMN.
4. Greater analytic agility – Analytics can generate new rule sets, better decisions, for DMN in a manner that is not possible for BPMN.

James Taylor (LinkedIn profile) is CEO of Decision Management Solutions, and is the leading expert in how to use business rules and analytic technology to build Decision Management Systems.
