DevOps Is All The Rage

But there is still much misunderstanding about how one can realize the promises of DevOps in one’s own organization.

Fortunately, the DevOps movement is rooted in principles much deeper than buzzwords.

Before the terms “Agile” and “DevOps” became common monikers, lessons from previous engineering endeavors were forming a rich source of lessons and methodologies to fuel both movements.

However, often the tie is not made between those precursor lessons and the seemingly “new” principles and practices of DevOps.

In this presentation Chris Knotts, PMP  (LinkedIn profile) will review those foundations, explaining why they are so critical to any organization which hopes to realize success with DevOps or Agile principles at scale.
