• Do you often find that when something fails in production, the response of a development team member is, “It works on my machine or at our end, you must be having the wrong version“?
• Vice Versa on the other side of the table – do you find that the operations team always feels that the developers are not sensitive to the operational requirements and constraints?

If so, does that mean we are just developing software not a working system ?
Are we just working in Silos ?

DevOps aims at breaking the Silos and bringing in a culture of everyone “getting along”.

In this session Priya discusses how and why DevOps is the force behind the evolution where the development team and operations works together with business sponsors and quality assurance (QA) to deliver software that can be released to production at any point of time.

This webinar will highlight:

• What is DevOps and what is it not?
• DevOps Principles and Values
• Team’s transformation to DevOps
• Typical DevOps Delivery Model
• DevOps Benefit Measurement Mechanism

Presenter: Priya Patra (LinkedIn profile) is a CSM (Certified Scrum Master), TOGAF 9.1 Certified Enterprise Architect, and Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, IGATE Certified Internal Auditor.  She has extensive experience in managing large scale ERP implementation, product, framework development and Technology CoE projects.

This is the third and final webinar in the Afterburner Flawless Execution series.

Although it is not a prerequisite to participate in this session, be sure to view the first webinars in this series, 

1. The Flawless Execution Advantage for Project Managers and
2.  How to Identify Your Plan is at Risk: Managing Project Risk with Flawless Execution.

What do you do once your project comes to an end?

When projects end in success, we often high-five and move on to the next project or task.

This may be successful in the short run, but long-term, it is critical to pause after every one of your projects for a Debrief.

In Flawless Execution, the Debrief is where the root causes of success and failure are identified.

Joel Neeb (LinkedIn profile) will teach you how to conduct a structured Debrief to assure your team can scale successes and eliminate the failures that may have occurred during the project.
