DEVOPS will fail…..Unless!

DevOps, the latest hot topic in the IT world, promises faster, more frequent, higher quality software releases. However, according to Paul and his research, many initiatives fail!

In this session, Paul reveals why these initiatives fail and will offer guidance for helping you prevent these from happening. The reasons are taken from his organization’s global findings based on research with more than 400 teams! Paul highlights that DevOps is not something you can ‘implement’ or ‘install’. So how can you ensure that your DevOps initiatives will succeed? In this presentation, Paul will reveal 3 top critical success factors taken from organizations who are delivering significant, sustainable value from their DevOps investments. Attend this session to learn why DevOps has become an ‘imperative’ for survival for many organizations to support and enable their Digital Transformation. For many CEO’s ‘failure is NOT an option’. Your CEO expects you to come back and make DevOps succeed!
