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’s Chris Knotts 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 Knotts, PMP – (LinkedIn profile) for the executive overview of the DevOps movement and what it means for IT teams everywhere.

This presentation delivers an informative and entertaining look at the history of the project management software industry.

It starts way back in the mainframe days when the critical path method (CPM) was just the 2^nd computer application which stored a program in memory. And continues over the next 70 years of innovations to the point we are at now, which is cloud based availability of many types of solutions aimed at a broad range of industry users with varying degrees of functionality.

Along the way, the presenter will highlight some little-known history about this industry’s vendors and products, including some specific details on Microsoft Project’s background.

Learning Objectives:

• Attendees of this presentation learn how the industry started and the type of business problems project management software was being applied to; there have been major changes in that over the years.
• The presentation will walk through each generation of software systems from those first mainframe-based tools, through minicomputers, PCs, LAN multi-user systems, Windows, and the latest “cloud” offerings.
• The presentation will explain how the major vendors have expanded their products from just project scheduling to comprehensive solutions addressing resource management, project budgeting and forecasting, strategic planning, and product/deliverables management.
• The presenter will also discuss the impact of Agile techniques and the rise of Collaborative Work Management (CWM). And the presenter will include his own thoughts on how the leading Industry analysts have categorized the software vendors approaches and what is forecasted as the future of solutions.

The 10-20-70 theory suggests that workers learn 70% of the time from informal ways, through conversations, self-searching, solving problems at work, drawing experiences from relationships and networks. Unfortunately, L&D professionals restrict or constrain the “70” learning from being an integral part of their curriculum or formal lessons.

So informal learning fails and inadvertently appear as “pretentious.”

In this webinar, you will gain new insights from examples of strategies to continue to grow and nourish the 10-20-70 theory while allowing workers and learners more latitude to do informal learning.

Topics covered:

• What is the 10-20-70 learning theory? How does it work?
• What are prevailing practices that backfire because many informal learning get deemed as “pretentious”?
• When does informal learning become unproductive?
• What are the learning ecosystems that harness informal learning but within business strategies?
• What are small and nudging actions, systems, and tools that accelerate informal learning?
