Culture is vital for DevOps Success.

Why do most DevOps projects fail? Typically it is not because of tool choice or cloud vs on-prem deployments It is because people don't understand what culture is or how to work towards a common business goal.

As technically minded people - we think of what tools we will use when adopting DevOps.

As tools are vital.

As is process.

But the foundational link that brings tools, process and people together is:

culture

Too often DevOps enablement projects fail because culture is disregarded as an “HR” thing. Collaboration, communication and common sense are the C words we don't understand.

This session will show you how to embrace culture without the awkwardness of having to hold hands in a circle with strangers, or worse, your boss.
