Executives are recognizing the benefits of DevOps implemented in other organizations and would like to reap those benefits for their own. In turn, they begin investing in training and instructing teams to use DevOps practices.
Although a great start, teams are limited by their context. The frustration of students who attend our DevOps Implementation Boot Camp is palpable when they tell us, “We’d love to operate this way, but they won’t let us.” Unfortunately, when teams are limited like this, organizations are not able to fully realize the benefits of DevOps.
That’s where we, as senior leaders, come in. It’s up to us to set the tone and alter expectations; to make sure that organizations aren’t just using DevOps tools but are making the cultural and organizational changes that are necessary.
We created this training specifically for senior leaders to explore what it takes for organizations to fully embrace DevOps, and use those insights to design action plans for enabling, encouraging, and empowering DevOps in their own organizations.
This training is best as a full-day, off-site engagement for the entire senior leadership team and your organization’s DevOps champion(s).
This training is most productive if it uses the recommendations of a DevOps Assessment as the starting point and is followed up with expert Coaching that will guide you to successful achievement of your objectives.

There are currently no public events available for this course. However, you can submit a request for a new date and we will try our best to get you into a DevOps Executive Workshop class.
Actions: We begin by reviewing the results of your DevOps Assessment with an eye toward determining how each of the recommendations applies to your organization. We will add to that by brainstorming additional pains/problems/issues that DevOps could help to correct, and benefits of DevOps that the organization wishes to achieve.
Outcomes: We will come to a consensus on a list of outcomes from your DevOps transformation that represent your desired Future State.
Part 2: DevOps Principles, Practices, Tools
Actions: We then build a common understanding about DevOps among the workshop participants and begin discussing the senior leader role in embracing DevOps culture, tools and practices. We will discuss these topics:
We end this section by reviewing the Future State with DevOps we built in section 1 with the intent of making additions or changes based on our new more complete common understanding of DevOps.
Outcomes: At the conclusion of this section, we will have:
Part 3: Strategic DevOps Plan
Actions: We will look at a Generic Strategic DevOps Transformation Plan, discuss the applicability of each item to our organization, and brainstorm additional items that we may need.
Outcomes: Based on that discussion (above), we will build a Strategic DevOps Plan for our own organization and come to a consensus on it.
Part 4: Tactical DevOps Plan
Actions: The workshop participants will break out into small groups or as individuals to build Tactical DevOps Plans for their own areas of responsibility. Each Tactical DevOps Plan will be based on the Strategic DevOps Plan, and will identify concrete, specific actions that are necessary for that particular area of responsibility to adopt DevOps culture, principles, practices, and tools. The workshop facilitator will circulate among the participants to help them build complete and workable plans.
The workshop will then reconvene.Each Tactical DevOps Plan will be presented and discussed in an effort to improve it, and to ensure that all of the Tactical DevOps Plans align, synchronize, and synergize across the organization.
Outcomes:
Part 5: Next Steps Toward DevOps
Actions: We will end by actions that will be necessary after the workshop, ew.g.:
We will wrap up with a verbal commitment by all workshop participants to doing their part to make the organization’s DevOps Transformation successful.
