There’s a lot of hype around DevOps, but do you really understand what it means for your organization or what it entails?

Increasing the speed of value delivery isn’t as simple as saying you are “doing” agile or DevOps. DevOps applies agile principles of discipline, collaboration, and early feedback to tasks. “Being” DevOps requires everyone involved in product development lifecycle to change how they currently work and to expand their knowledge and capabilities into new areas.

In this webinar, Bill Holz (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst helps you understand and apply the keys for DevOps success at your organization.

Discussion Topics:

  • What DevOps is and what it is not
  • The keys critical to DevOps success
  • How to build your DevOps practice into your software development lifecycle (SDLC)

Video is a unique beast. It’s more engaging than a training manual, but sharing it on your LMS (or worse, on YouTube) can create problems.
It helps you scale your training worldwide, but every new recording is a pain to produce. And it would be ideal for just-in-time learning, if only it could be effectively searched.
If the way you use video in employee training feels stuck in 2003, don’t miss this webinar. Dave Dumler Product Evangelism Guru at Panopto will help you distill your video training aspirations into concrete plans for 2019, including ideas for what you can present, who you can look to for help, and which tools you’ll need to make it all happen.
Dave will provide easy-to-understand insights on:
  • What’s changed in the last 15 years that’s made video so much more common in employee learning?
  • Which of your existing training activities could you support and scale with video?
  • Who else in your organization could you tap to help you create and produce video content?
  • What’s the most basic equipment you’ll need to produce professional video recordings?

Presenter : Dave Dumler (LinkedIn profile) Product Evangelism Lead Panopto helps professionals understand how video can be used to improve employee training and organizational productivity. Prior to Panopto, Dave held a variety of roles at startups and at Microsoft. Dave studied engineering at Colorado State University and is the father of three children.
