Presentation: "DevOps Culture And Practices To Create Flow"

Track: Lean IT Enterprise / Time: Tuesday 11:30 - 12:20 / Location: Lille Sal, Musikhuset

Delighting customers by creating the fast flow of features into production may rely more on repetition and habits than we ever thought.  In this talk, we create an isomorphic mapping between plant floor engineering and operations (the birthplace of Lean), and then derive the behaviors, rituals and processes that are essential to fast flow in software development. Some practices you’ll have heard of (e.g., continuous integration and delivery, TDD, etc.), and but some will be surprising and novel (e.g., the Improvement Kata). We’ll show how these practices are all interrelated, and how to institute them to create a culture of continuous learning leading to happy users, fast flow and fulfilled practitioners.
